went to the event today at eaton centre...was crazy busy we had to wait quite a bit in line even though people were scheduled for events...It was super crazy inside though with so many MUAs. You'd think when they close the store down for an event, they would have more testers but it was just the same one display one for shop one for cook. Testers were everywhere and it was generally hectic. Vera was also out but I didn't care to check it, and I didn't check Cook (the one with TLC). Quick thoughts cuz am sleepy lol (no swatches sorry!): 1. Naughty Saute is kind of like MUFE #33 on me, it's a shiny pink lipstick kind of like in between St. Germain and a mid tone pink! 2. Dish it up is a lustre and didn't have amazing colour payoff for me...it's kind of like Craving but maybe a bit more purple (eggplant kind of purple). 3. Watch me simmer is the standout of this collection...it's a coral cousin of impassioned but really bright and really good payoff. The MUAs were mostly rocking this one. 4. Innocence beware and runway red are pretty and you guys know about them so am not gonna bother. 5. Quick sizzle is bright, it's not CYY, it's not pink pigeon either I think, it's a matter Girl about town but still a little bit more fuchsia than GAT. The quads: I only liked the kind of teal colour in one quad, and brash in the other. The last quad with the purple is one I feel we've seen before (even the MUAs said it's the same kind of palette you see often). The one with the yellow/teal: the yellow looks like bitter/sour lemon but with a smoother finish and it's satiny, the teal is truly gorgeous, a straight up teal with a strong black base. The grey was quite sheer and had to be built up. The coral palette was very popular among the MUAs with most rocking the colours on their lids. I felt it was dupable as well. The pink is nice, not sheer, something MAC doesn't have, the light orange is kind of like juiced but sheerer and with a whiter base and more satin, and brash is just gorge. I didn't want to spend 45$ on a single eyeshadow so I didn't get the quads but may go back to get the coral one if I can spare funds. Lastly, I was only able to swatch two of the creme blends: Florida and OO. Florida is different from the other pinks in the creme blend range. It's like a deeper, purpler so sweet, so easy. OO was nice, but I don't know how much I would wear it. The KLC i liked. I got So Vain (SOOO EXPENSIVE!!! 22.50$ in CAD) and I would have gotten more if I had more funds! I wanted to like the light pink one but it looked horrid on me. Flaunting it I didn't like either but I may change my mind. Scan-delicious I liked and I may get it later. I also want to try the nudish KLC. As I said, I didn't check out Vera. on another note, I also tried the sephora retractable pencils and they have a good range for about 16$ in CAD. If the pearl glides are more expensive, I may get those instead because they really stayed well and didn't budge.
Please.
