Anybody else in the NC30 range, that is disappointed by the NARS blushes in this palette? They don't show up as well? They are so subtle, except for one... I don't think I like them that much :(

Yes! I made a post about this earlier. I am nc30 and they are so not what I was hoping! I'm really disappointed actually! To me, I think the highlighter is chalky, two of the blushes look exactly the same and the texture is weird. Like when I rubbed my finger against them they seemed really dry, not creamy at all.

These are the lipsticks I got: Future Red, Full Frontal, & Goodbye Emmanuelle. They're all very pretty and the formula is very moisturizing but I haven't found the colours to be super unique. Future Red did feather on me so I think a lip liner might help...

I received my Coeur Battant blush today!!! This is a must have for WOC. It is just as pigmented as Nars Exhibit A and will last you forever. You will have to use a light hand and blend it out (it easily blends out) but it is absolutely beautiful on my MUFE 173/Nars Cadiz/NC45 skin. They really need to make this permanent. Hope this helps!

Uh oh I'm not liking the sound of this. I'm in the NC30 range (I believe) and I wanted to buy the palette... :(

This definitely stays on my list!

Sorry Darby, must have skipped it by accident.
I'm really disappointed.. I feel bad returning it bc it's LE.. and I got 20% off from the sale.. but it's just.. not okay :(

The blushes seem really powdery, I have O and Laguna already and those two feel a lot more buttery if that makes sense? than the ones on the palette... I really don't have money to waste.. I guess it's a return :(

Oh please, don't feel sorry! I didn't mean it like that! Haha plus, I posted it in the f&f forum not this one! But I agree completely and know exactly what you mean. I think I'm in a bit of a pickle though. I threw away the box and everything already (I opened it very quickly and sloppy because I was so excited! :) hah) can I still return to sephora with literally just the product??

Yep you can return without the packaging.

Anyone planning to pick up the lip set with the big red lips? I wanted it but I don't really like the lipsticks/lip pencils being offered. I wish they would have released the cinematic lipsticks with it!

I am!

I have the velvet lip pencil in Cruella and LOVE it (everyone needs it), and have been looking to try dolce vita and a few others, so this set will be a great way to try it. I just can't afford to try the different ones at 30 dollars a pop when they aren't bold colours.

Does anyone know when those holiday sets will be out in Europe and when? I'd like to check them out as they can be good Xmas presents for someone

I really like their lip pencils (I already have New Lover) and I think this set will be popular. I wasn't really planning on it, but the girls in our store were drooling over it and if I see enough hype here I might cave.

Oops you were talking about the other lip set (Fling). I don't think I'd wear Roman Holiday so I'll pass on this set.

I like the lip pencils too! I just looked up this set and I wish they would have put it with the red lips because then I would wear every shade. I can see why the girls have been drooling over it! Do you know if the pencils are full-size because at $45 it's a steal!
