I'm excited that I found Specktra, then! I usually try to find them on YouTube, or google images, or temptalia (but everything looks so different on her). I'm going to keep an eye out for your swatches. Thanks!

I was originally going to skip Playland but I think it will look gorgeous layered over all the vampy reds and plums I wear in the fall.

Sure doll! It does really make a difference to see swatches on a similar skin tone

I can't wait to hear your thoughts on them! I'm not sure if I want any of the glosses. Live It Up is a maybe.

now that I have seen the lipsticks I only want Red Balloon....I think lol

 

[ladyarwen]

I'm glad the lipglasses are milky, that means I'll have no regret in skipping them. The lipsticks are a different story though...damn my broke ass.

So I saw and got to play with the lipglosses this evening. Skipping this collection completely. Waiting for the AA glosses etc and will be picking up Sultana lip pencil this weekend. Team Low Buy will power going strong! Wish I can sing the same tune in May and June.

I still want red balloon, but I don't know about Toying around based on T's swatches... although I LOVE it in Karen! i don't know if I should get it though, I already have Dior's sunset lipstick shipping over which Temptalia listed as similar.

Were they all milky??

 

[Debbs]

Uneven, patchy on me and too pastel for my taste. I know that the ones from AA and Sharon are definites. These look off on me but it may just be a matter of personal taste. I wear gloss alone not layered over lipsticks. I can always wait for a new gloss! BTW I saw some really nice Michael Kors gloss in Macy's but I recall that I am a low buy representative and ambassador, lol

Uh oh temptalia said that studio sculpt comes out on the 10th and it's online NOW.....stalk mode ON

Did u see the lippys?

 

[Debbs]

No, sorry Mosha, I just glossed and dashed! Trying to stick to my plan as the less I see the less I know there is to be bought. Keeping focused!

I'm not Debbs, but they are all fussy worn by themselves. There are way better glosses out there for solo wear.

They look amazing over the lipsticks, though, and look equally fantastic over a lip pencil (I tried Bright Side and Carousel over In Synch and they were very cute). They blot down all right too, with some pigmentation, but not mega stain. If you normally use a lip pencil or lipstick under your gloss, these are worth a look if you don't have many pastel glosses already.

No way in the universe would I say to buy these online.

They won't completely stampede out of the store or off the site later, so you'll have time to see them in person or at least plenty of people's photos and opinions before buying.

I hate to be a party pooper, but as I said before I had already identified these awhile ago.... I agree totally with Liba. DO NOT rush online and buy..these are complicated shades to use and wear.

In my personal stash I have the cremeblend.. I will post pic of it now. If you are over an NC15, this will be ashy on you or not show up at all. I really did not even think this would be used in any collection.. it's just a glorified concealer colour -- pinky peach but meh and blah. On lips, it will blot you out. On cheeks, it will hardly show up at all. it's dark now.. but hell, this is still ugly to the bone.




again I use the white of a paper towel which is a blue white.. this will hardly show on anyone level 2.0 or above.

Your question totally goes w/that face

I even read it w/a pout!
