u mean these? PLAYTIME and BUST OUT?

Although play time is a beautiful color and I don't have it, I hope Bust out is different and more blue/purple^^ (I know, I've said this a ton of times). I have Spitfire and a magenta purple is enough for me ^^

As I've said before: Surf USA is very unique. I've got lots of teals, aquamarines and turquoises and there's no other eyeshadow that looks similar so far.

Here are some bad swatches but it's almost night in Germany so no chance for better lightening.

Wow! I have Steamy and just looking at this pic I know I NEED Surf USA in my life.

Bust Out is so nice too and I will get it.....it is purple and that is why I can not resist

TIA!

I'm looking forward to Bust out l/s

Bust Out is not as pink as Play Time and definitely darker. If you wore Bust Out sheer, it would look a lot like Play Time, but it can be built up much darker. It's got a bit of a red tone to it which makes it pretty wearable. It would be gorgeous with Magenta lip liner.

I just want to know how close Bust Out is to Spitfire.

I LOVE the swatch of "Steamy"!! I a HUGE green eyeshadow fan and this is a color I've been waiting for! would make an awesome subtle/smokey color. Perfect for summer/spring!

I'm sorry but I don't have. :-(

So after much debate and swatch searching, I think I'm going with: Short Shorts e/s Surf USA e/s Sun Blonde e/s My Paradise Blush Naturally Eccentric l/s (maybe, depends on if any swatches appear today.....hmmmm.....I might swap this out for Swell Baby e/s) I'm also nabbing Lucky Green e/s as it looks gorgeous and I don't want to wait for fashion flower.... The only thing I'm not sure on is natually eccentric lipstick as it may be too too white for me, I might go for swell baby eyeshadow or switch it for politely pink lipstick which I've been admiring for a while! I'm also umm ing and arrr ing over whether to purchase nylon over short shorts as they're fairly similar and with previous collections eyeshadow pigmentation has bee something everyone has complained about. It's a lot more than I was expecting, I'm going mainly on the products as the packaging is still a turn off for me...thank god my travel allowance came through in time otherwise it would have just been my paradise! :shock:

 

[xasperadastra]

My stuff arrives tomorrow yayyyy^^
Tomorrow I won't have bust out and girls on board because I've ordered them somewhere else... in Florence and they still don't know when is the launch -_____________- I must remember you that in Florence they lost my Wonder Woman stuff ... uff I should stop making orders there

It's alright, the swatches you have done thus far are still great help.

I'm sorry but I don't have. :-(

The collection launched here today, and during my lunch break I popped into the store and got Bust out, Hibiscus and the turquoise polish.
Initial thoughts: Bust out is - like Cody said - much more purple than Playtime. On my lips, it comes out as a berry colour. Very pretty!
Hibiscus is different from Cyndi - Cyndi is a darker, more muted colour, while Made with love is sheerer, brighter.

I'm still at the office but will hopefully post swatches tonight! (If you don't mind artificial lightning.)

I think I'll get Studio Careblend Lush-Light Bronze instead of My Paradise, I can't take the chance it'll be too orange for me! Maybe someone could swatch it next to Melba?

 

[Anneri]

Here are my swatches!

Both polishes are a bit greener - my camera never picks up the green in turquiose - and the red lippies are a bit brighter in real life.

It was really funny at my store today - they hadn't have a display out yet, and all products were in a white box through which I rummaged! At first, I didn't see it (of course), asked a MA for 'Surf Baby', and she looked at me as if I talked to her in Japanese...

I didn't get My Paradise after all. The colour is a lovely orange, but for me the overspray is just too glittery and at the end of the day it's just overspray, albeit a very pretty one. I didn't have a closer look at the other products, I was running out of time of my lunch break! *g*
