Re: Balloonacy Discussion
my take on balloonacy:
First off i would like to say i was extremely anticipating this collection when i first saw it at update, in fact all of my coworkers were as well. BUT when it launched i was so disapointed with the exception of a few things...my review:
Pandamonuim X4: one of the best quads to have come out from a launch, violet trance is such a hot color, cloudbound is hot but similar to white wheat and the shadow in one of the raquel quads and magic dust eyeshadow, up at dawn was just like mancather and lavender sky, i havent really played with it for that reason as im not a fan of those 2 colors, and lastly pandamonuim, this actually is an underdog as its said to be liek knight divine or black tied, but it isnt, in fact for being a lustre (which surprises me becuase i dont think i remember it as a lustre at update) the payoff is amazing, you get the smokey grey color WITH noiticable silver glitter...def a favriot now.
pigments: first off viz-a- violet is violet applied lighty, which upset me, then the second biggest disapointment was heluim, yes i posted awhile back that this was THE hot ticket after seeing at update but frankly its not. Its chunky and not at all unique, ii know for a fact the heluim i fell in love with did not look like the chunky mess we got, at update i remember it having semi red glitter, the texture was similar to the pigments of danse.
liglasses- silly girl first of all was the hotness!!! it sold out within the first 4 days, the colors is so pretty plus my boyfriends mom calls me silly girl!. Next is perky, i used this on my sister and am on the fence about it becuase it does remind me of nico or opal even thos opal is a lustreglass. Pink meringue is a great color but everytime i wear it i just feel im wearing a knock off of nymphette...then thier is out for fun, holy cow can we stop with the white looking gloss but looks awsome on the lips (night affiar, pas-de-deux, phosphorelle,elle, fluer- de-light).
softsparkle eye pencil: i have been a fan of these since sweetie cake whe nthey launched, no rant here, i love mint and olive and goldenair is amazing as a base!
lipsticks:up note is pretty but forgetful, fun fun...another pink lustre?, full blown is unique i actually think its versatile, and then festivity which is amazing...
vin goth nail laquer: amazing! didnt even have a chance to purchase but i looove it!
and lastly my biggest disapointment:
the "highlight" powders: really these were hyped up to be amazing and at update they didnt have them so i didnt see them till we recived them and boy were these in the likes of glitz gloss and glimmer shimmers! the top layer is a beautiful frost which does make the face look soft and beautiful but after one use you end up with a chalky mess, with the exception of mello rave wich i use to softly contour on light skinned ladies. Haullaballo is reall a pink chakly mess......these would have been amazing..
i dont mean to kill lemmings or anything i jsut felt like saying my opinion....
