WOW!!!! I'm very pleased with the new pictures. I want at least one bp (are they beauty powders?) and one trio, at least 2 lippies. Gah the list goes on.

I don't know the finish off hand, but Gladiola is very flat and has alot of coverage, a matte, amplified, or satin I think. It is very bright fuschia with alot of purple, more purpley thank pinky I'd say. Very pretty. I haven't spent enough time with Girl About Town (but I will once I buy it with Manish Arora), but it is very different from Hollywood Nights. HN is very deep pink fuschia, much more pink than purple compared to Gladiola.

(It's a matte, which makes me love it for that alone) Good to know! Glad I can justify picking it up.
(GAB is almost the same color as HN, but I haaate the formula)

I really like the color of the packaging, but I will pass on the palettes, I have simmular colours. But the BP looks so good in this purple/lilac compact.

You read my mind. I am wondering the same thing. I can't wait to see some swatches. Really, I would like to see close up swatches on everything.

OMG!! That packaging is to die for! I am in LOVE!
Will prob end up getting a l/s, 1 or 2 l/gs, maybe one of the eye trios but I really hope that they reformulated the highlight powders at least a lil and it’s not just a shimmer overlay….oh who I’m a kidding I’ll still buy both powders.…they are gorgeous!

Are the Highlight powders like the ones in Balloonacy Bunny? I'm not sure I like the idea of the signature on top wearing off and being left with dull powder underneath. But I do love the packaging!!

I think this is fantastic!
I'm going to an evening with Barry Humphries soon (a dinner/wine/oral history lecture kind of deal), it will be interesting to see if he mentions anything about this collaboration with his alter-ego.
P.S. I've seen the man live and up close as Dame Edna, and let me tell you - I think he's got better legs than everyone else on this board.
