I've wearing Cloud Gait today. It is a bit sheer, but it definitely gives color without having that dead opaque look. The sheerness makes it pretty wearable, but it isn't completely sheer, which is good. Can't wait to team it up with the blue lip colors in the Troll collection... I'm wearing neutrals on my eyes - didn't want to go completely aqua :rolleyes:

Was anyone else unhappy with the eyeshadows? I found them to be a bit stiff when trying to work with them

I applied them with my fingers Thursday after i bought them because i didn't have my little makeup bag with me. I had no trouble with them, but they may behave differently with a brush – i'll see. I got the yellow and the pink which looked more coral on me than the bright pink i was hoping for.

Have I mentioned I'm in love with Vermillion Vee? I wore it today and a lady stopped me to compliment me. She walked away before I could pull it out and tell her what I was wearing. I need to back this up. Like I always say, I love all things coral and peach for WOC and tanned skin tones.

I know the description is bright true red, but it's coral on me.

Awesome! I'm in love with Vermillion V too and already backed it up! It is a fabulous shade.

I spoke to both my local MAC stores about this collection and they said it isn't being released only in pro stores like London etc and it's been released in them already and gave me the number to ring for a mail order so I did and they don't know what I'm talking about they said they've heard nothing and it's not been released lol!

I'll give MAC Carnaby a bell and see what they're saying.

ETA: Thankfully this thread is still in The Scoop... Should be released online next week. Online and Selfridges only, Nat.

Finally am wearing Electric Mandarin and Pale Pipa e/s today!! I like both a lot, no troubles with application or texture, even Pale Pipa is fine. EM is more coral than I was expecting, but I like it a lot! Overall, I am really happy with my 3 items from this collection. I have already worn VV every day last week and 2 days this week.

I love this packaging SO much! Everything I bought is like a little piece of art. I ended up getting the yellow and blue e/s in addition to the orange/coral, and I got every lippie except the yellow. I still have my yellow from Playland and never use it. I used the yellow and orange e/s yesterday and I was very pleased with the pigmentation on the yellow. The orange is more coral on me like others have said.
I tried Cloud Gait without a liner (bottom in the pic) and with a pale pink liner (top lip). Much better with the liner. If they made more items in this packaging I'd buy them, it's so "me". I also love Vermilion Vee, so bright and pretty!!

I still want Cloud Gait. Are your pics in Sepia? I find I'm not seeing the actual colors. Or is it me? Lol.

Awesome! I absolutely LOVE the packaging too. It is totally a work of art! So far I have the powder, all the lipsticks except the yellow, pale Pippa eyeshadow and peony pavillion color base. It is all fabulous! Glad you love it!

I may get a back up as well even though I've said no more backups. Love it with the gold on top of it too.

I bought the powder but I haven't used it yet. I'm really not a big fan of that particular powder but the packaging hooked me. I've also said that wouldn't happen again either after Disney VV collection which I went a bit nuts.
