OK I already typed out a huge review of Cham-Pale so I'll be more brief (and blunt) here.
The only thing I bought was New Fixation pigment. This pigment is the bomb. The base color is very similar to Brash & Bold, but instead of a fuchsia shimmer highlight (which makes it overall look much pinker), this has just a wisp of white pearl bits, so you get a nice smooth, near-matte quality with a tiny glint here and there when wet or when applied very sheerly, but with the potential to look a bit shimmerier if you put it on dry or over the right sort of base. So basically what you are getting is a super versatile, flat, medium red that is safe for eyes and lips as well as cheeks.
On the cheeks you could get a really different looking, retro texture without a powdery finish, plus you can sheer it out to the extreme. On the lips you could get a sheer stain or a matte effect depending on what you did with it. Eyes could go many different ways and appear flatter or with more sheen, dense or super sheer. I bet you could get some cool translucent nail stain effects under clear polish too, since it is majorly pigmented.
The only other pigment I considered, Follow Your Fancy, has much much more sheen frost to it, which ultimately made it lose out to New Fixation. It wasn't dissimilar to Firecracker, but more orange. I think there will be other orange shadows and maybe pigments coming this year, so no need to get hung up on this one. It's not as original or as versatile as New Fixation.
The BPs are sweet and lady-like, but didn't grab me. I'd say these are best for 40's retro girls, but not really what I was looking for (which was super sexy liquid shine).
The CCBs also were meh, considering Cremeblend Blushes are on the horizon and that formula is just so much nicer. Movie Star red was very pink toned, so that was a strike-out. I can use my fabulous New Fixation to get more of a true red and a more interesting finish. Virgin Isle and Madly Magenta have their good points, but I can go to a pro store for 'em some other time (or not).
The new Fluidline was a lovely color, but I'm just not into gel liners and it also looked a little sheer, so that's also a strike, since applying multiple layers of liner with a brush is too much work to get perfect for me. The color is great, but I'll wait for something similar in a GPS, Pearlglide or SuperSlick Liner and I have Raven k/p and Almost Noir p/g to tide me over until then. Ditto for the mascara since Zoom Lash smudges badly on me - here's hoping there'll be a similar color when the colored mascaras come out.
The lipsticks all felt like place markers for better shades that will come later in the season - they're all key colors for this Spring and Summer, but the early, test-the-waters versions, not the full out crazy in your face fabulous versions. Plus Style Curve wasn't purple enough by a long shot for me, so boo.
To sum up: New Fixation is exactly that! Everything else is an easy skip, unless you want a perfect, retro movie star porcelain finish - then check out the BPs.
