Definitely, those organising and offering CPs are doing it out of pure kindness - much kudos to them and hugs and kisses to them all!

Since pigments are loose powders, yes, when used dry, there is always the risk of fall-out with any of them. I find I get less fall-out when I pack the pigment into the brush, and pat it on, rather than swipe. Using the pigments wet, there is virtually no fall-out, though.

I wish the turquoise came with gold shimmer instead.

turquoise is gorgeous with silver! i prefer the gold to be paired with teal instead.

Erin, do you know if the base color of Partylicious is at all similar in color to Turquoise Matte pigment?

Based on Erin's swatch and the sample I have, it certainly looks close.

I am sure it is nice, but I was just dreaming of a turquoise with a golden sheen in the sun hehe. Ill check these pigments out in person but doubt Ill get any. Chunky glitter is a deal-breaker for me as I don't want any falling in my eye and irritating it.

^That sounds gorgeous! Just now I paired Teal pigment with Parfait Amour e/s and Kitschmas pigment and it looks so pretty! I even added Cool Heat e/s over Teal pigment.

arent we? but i know that i would do the same thing for people if i lived in america too.

so excited about the pigments, especially the neutral one! (brain cannot retain the names, as there is too much to remeber!) i only own universal mix, silver fog, 3D silver and a holiday pigment set, and ive got the pigment bug. cant believe i sold off all of the ones i used to own. Doh!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you! I will give that method a try

That is great

I love the pigments of this collection, the turquoise is beautiful.

 

[PlatinumV]

Well, even if I'm new of all this thing, I think it was OBVIOUS that if someone is doing me the favour to buy for me the products, going to the mail office, making a box with all the cosmetics and send me the package, I am the one who has to pay for the box, the delivery fee and also the fee of paypal! It is common sense!!!

girls, I've gone to the official swatch thread of this collection, but I haven't seen a good swatch of the pigments, till now. So, if someone has a preview... please, post a swatch soon! I would like to know what to ask-for-buy

(cannot wait to see the list of you, wonderful girls, who are gonna to help us in buying these products... thank you very much!)

well these are definately not chunky glitter, so yippeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!

 

[kiss]

I thought you said they were chunky sparkle instead of shimmer, but thanks for clearing that up.

On another thought, our definition of chunky sparkle/glitter is prolly just different. I consider pigments like Mauvement to have chunky glitter as it can irritate my eye if it falls in.

 

[PlatinumV]

No, no, no, please stop. I haven't understood... are you saying that the 3 pigments are in reality 3 glitters?
I am quite confused... can someone, please, explain to me the texture and colour of these pigments?

 

[GlamYOURUs]

They are not glitters, THEY ARE PIGMENTS WITH SPARKLES IN THEM.
A good example would be Emerald Green pigment - its rich in color and pigmentation but has that slight sparkle effect.
