I'm actually a big fan of her blog and her ratings usually align with my experiences with products. But I do think she is biased towards certain brands at times, which would explain the long post. I think she felt bad giving them a bad grade. Am I also the only one who finds her lip swatches virtually useless? Everything always appears so warm and saturated on her. My lip pigmentation and lighting makes everything look so different.
I agree with the bolded I love that she can be so detail oriented.

And for obvious reason her lip swatches are almost useless for me too, still nice to look at and get a general idea of what it will look like on me.

I have both in my cart right now but I haven't hit the button yet

I want to get them as well.. Pink Pepper too! Did you end up hitting that button?!

Money's tight (my car is croaking) so I'm going to have to wait a while for these. I hope they'll still be around on Nordstrom's or something. I swatched Deeply Dashing, Midnight &PP in store. All so very pretty! Apparently they didn't get Damson. They actually had a bunch of the older ones on the display. She said the full shipment didn't come in, but of those that came, Midnight was included! Go figure, since that was the one missing from other stores.

I tried swatching these by swiping like I would with an eyeshadow, and I was like "oh. pretty." Then I started to dab and press in with my finger instead of swiping it, and then I thought" Oooooh, prettyyyyy!" haha....I liked how midnight looked but I can't warrant spending the $21 on a color like that. I won't wear it enough.

Definitely go with the first batch of Deeply Dashing and possibly Beaming.
I failed so hard at not buying anything. I ended up buying Deeply Dashing, Beaming, Damson, Day Gleam and added on Uninterrupted, too. Looks like I won't be buying anything else until Retro Matte.

I ordered Pink Pepper from the "secret" site. It was one of 3 left in stock. I was debating on BU but I didn't want to be greedy...

Ooohh!! I am loving Summer Honey and Vanilla Diamond!!! I don't know which one to get! I haven't tried a pressed pigment so I would like to start off with just on first! Any suggestions?
Summer Honey is such a sweet beautiful shade. It is a fresh sweet natural light peach shade. It was sold out at the Macys where I swatched them. I'm going to get that one too

What is the "secret" site?
That's what I want to know! I probably won't be ordering, because I'm saving for Indulge, but please do share. You can PM if you wish... just in case this "secret" site works for other collections... does it?

Really? Usually I think everything looks really cool toned on her, and I bought a few things based on that and it ended up being really warm on me. Made me pretty sad, but I learned quickly how things will look on me compared to how they look on her.

This is my first pressed pigment but probably won't be my last. I want to swatch Deeply Dashing but it is not LE so I can hold off for a minute.
