i got to see the pressed pigments today!
They're all lovely, but most of them are rather sheer, at least when applied dry.
The pink one doesn't look the way it does in the promo pic. It's more comparable to Young Venus when applied.
The lavender one is also sheerer than the photo, but a lot closer.
The most opaque ones I'd have to say would be the black, the silver, the blue silver (I think it's called "Smokey"), followed by the really light ones, like the white, the champagne, the super pale blue and the light rosy one. I think the champagne colored one is Flicker - it barely reads as yellow, it's extremely pale. The one that looks like a very light rosy off-pink is maybe Blond Streak - I didn't check all the names.
As for which ones I think are the most beautiful. WOW, that black is amazing...the glisten it has is unreal. Smokey is really beautiful too - it's pretty much the same shade as the blue grey shadow from Marilyn. The pale yellow and the white ones are also very close to the Marilyn equivalents, but all three of these I think are so much nicer and more modern - I, for one, am glad I waited for these. Of course, some people don't like so much sparkle or prefer a heavier consistency than these pressed pigments have, but for my eye texture at least, I think all of these are extremely flattering. Just use one of the silicon sponge applicators for the best results - that brush that's being featured with these just doesn't apply them anywhere near as well.
Off the bat, I'm going to get the black, the very pale blue, the lavender and Smokey, plus maybe the champagne one. If you don't have Deeply Dashing, get it now - I wear that one every week at least once. Very glad these will be perm.
