You won't regret it. This palette is amazing!

That 2006 couture collection was pretty. I saw one of the compacts this week someone had.

I didn't order anything from these collections besides the lipglass sets (all three). I just couldn't justify the purchases. I have a lot of the colors in the pigment sets from samples that I have bought over the last year, and the palettes I either have some of the colors, I don't like the color, or the color is one I can dupe...

I don't know, just something about this collection left me wanting. Sad, considering how much I was looking forward to it this year...

You are too funny. Isn't it cheating to be buying stuff through your mom? I think you found a loophole!

Well, I am still proud to say i have not caved in to any of the items from the holiday collection. Maybe its stress and exhaustion, but I am just not excited about these like I was.

Missing my specktra family though! I don't have nearly enough time to pop in like I used to

They are fairly small in comparison, about 2 inches long. There is probably enough product in there to last for 50 uses, maybe less if used on a day to day basis. I've had the Cool Pigment set from last Christmas and they are still full.

most regular pigments are 7.5g each and these are 2.5g each, so these should be exactly 1/3 of the regular jars

I LOVE LOVE LOVE cool eyes! I used the entire left side of the palette and the indigo blue.
Light frosty color all over. Then the 2nd color, the frosty light pink all over lid.. then the plummy burgundy in the crease. Lastly, indigo blue in crease...

Ahhhhh I'm in love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol darkishstar, i don't consider there to be a blue in the cool eyes palette. that specific colour is purple in my eyes!

But yes, for the past two days I've been using this palette and freaking love its versatility! ROCKS!

Tomorrow, I will give Smokey a whirl. Will be its first out of the box for me!

Aww you guys remind me of my husband..

he is German, but since we live where Xmas is in summer, he spends a good deal of the holiday telling me how much he misses snow and mulled wine!


Anyway... Does anyone think the cool eyes palette would be OK warm-toned skin (NC35 - thats me in my avatar)?

Greetings!

Yes, I think you could wear the cool eyes palette as well.
Take a look in the swatch thread, post # 16. GlamYOURUs is warm toned as well and this palette looks gorgeous on her, I think!
