My package from Selfridge's arrived!! The bottle is really cute, but small. And, it really does smell like the perfume. I can't stop sniffing my nails. I have to be careful who sees me or they will think I'm nuts.

Sorry, I don't know why the picture is side ways. As far as the lipstick I ordered, it is very heavily fragranced. I have no idea why I didn't realize the lipstick smells like petite robe noir. I really don't care for strong scents in my lipsticks so if anyone else feels this way I suggest you check them out in person before buying. The color is very nice, the texture is great and I like the way it feels on. If I can get over the scent it would be a winner.

Yay for new goodies! I'm glad you like the polish....I can't wait! Maybe if Selfridges offers a free shipping promo I will grab it.

Thought I'd post a quick look while wearing Plumbrella:

Thank you!

I still can't navigate the new forum, gah! So annoying with the pics!



:D

It does indeed! (Could've been one of the reasons I got the lipstick!)



Thank you!

So funny how many Specktrettes also like Doctor Who!

For Halloween, I was the Tardis to my hubby's 10th Doctor. It was awesome. I even had a police box light headband that lit up.

I picked up Berry Beret yesterday and t is pretty nice. It's not so much a berry shade so much as a warmish, bright pink. It does feel very nice on the lips.

My SA called me a week ago saying that they have the collection in their JCP Guerlain counter. I'm going this weekend to check it out, and can't wait to try out Black Perfecto ls and nail polish. :yay:

So... I went to check out this mini collection in stores a few days ago. Unfortunately the nail polishes won't be coming to Puerto Rico unless Saks gets them but it might take a while. They didn't get 068 Mauve Gloves, 011 Beige Lingerie, 013 Leather Blazer, 069 Lilac Belt, and the obvious Asia exclusive shades. Everything is permanent and the lipsticks are priced at $32.

I swatched a few of the lipsticks but I couldn't take a picture because they're still not available in all of America (aka the US will be the last place to get them in June). The packaging looks a bit cheap yet oddly sophisticated due to the heart stopper, and surprisingly sturdy but still nothing special if I compare them to the Rouge/Shine Automatiques. The packaging reminded me of the old UD lipsticks that had a sword, the Dior Addict lipsticks, and the Wet n Wild matte lipsticks. The formula does live up to its claim as being hydrating and have a lovely shine. Some shades are more opaque than others but the sheerer shades are buildable. The shimmer shades aren't gritty like most of their predecessors. Imo, the formula is a lot better than the Rouge/Shine Automatiques, but I guess that these compete directly with the Dior Addict lipsticks and the MAC Huggables. The scent is like it's namesake perfume but a lot less intense compare to the discontinued Rouge Automatiques, Kiss Kiss, and Rouge G's which is good news for those who are sensitive to overbearing scents in lipsticks.

I bought 041 Sun-Twin-Set (coral pink without shimmer and possible substitute for Pamplelune Shine Automatique) and 007 Black Perfecto (sheer shimmer plum). I'll go back for 061 Pink Ballerinas (it's a my lips but better pink that's great for everyone) and 002 Pink Tie (cool blue toned pink without shimmer). I like that they don't dry out your lips, the formula is comfortable, the color selection is good but they should cool it with the reds.

June-egads. I keep checking Nordies for it. Sigh. Hopefully the US launch isn't the nordstrom anniversary sale exclusive because that is too long to wait!!!
