My list for To The Beach keeps gettring bigger, and those products I KNOW I will use often, so I am going to cut my wishlists in other collections.

I agree! I never ever reach for my pigments, so I think that samples will satisfy me. There are other collections that deserve more of my attention (and $!)

I'm also thinking about not getting all 3 pigments in this collection and get samples instead. The swatches are gorgeous but the OCD in me is saying don't get them! lol I may end up with 2 dazzleglass cremes in this collection and that is it.

I'm not getting any of the pigments...here or anywhere else anymore. I recently decided to pass on all of my pigments to my sister in law and to avoid purchasing them in future collections. I just don't use them as much as I should, and there's no reason to hoard them. She'll use them and love them, and that makes me happy. I kept samples of my favorites, and that's what I'll get in the future if I just HAVE to have one.

I also just purchased some pressed pigments from a lovely Specktra seller and I'm really looking forward to getting those. If I use them more than I did with the jars, this may be a perfect solution for me!

Rational thinking about make-up?!? I think I'm coming down with something.

I'm not going to get If It Sparkles pigment. I won't reach for a white color any time soon. I just think it's too harsh against my skin and just not a look I'm crazy about. Partylicious will be mine if it really jumps out at me. And I mean REALLY. Sparklicious, however, is definitely mine. I think I will skip the Dazzleglass Cremes also. Blah.

Looking at the swatch of Later. pigment (Black with transforming purple pearlized pigments), it's reminding me of the Black GPS that came out with Style Black!

I wonder if it's a good dupe, or good products to pair together.

Same here, we only have one store here in Ottawa and the counters are not getting this collex. Also, Canada post shipping to Europe is very pricey and they offer no tracking

I don't know if it'll be worth it for anyone

Excited.

So, am I the only one who uses almost only pigments? I mean, during "everyday life" I have to time to waste in the morning, but during weekends I almost only use pigments! Yesterday evenings 3 pigments and an eyeshadow as highlighter...

 

[GlamYOURUs]

Yeah I have been thinking about it too. I love pigments but I NEVER use them. Just buy them and they sit there looking pretty :\ I had to sleep over this last night - I am going to finally give up ALL my pigments. And possibly shadows too that I never use. OMG whats wrong with me!? I am being practical and turning away from makeup all over again!

In a nutshell, I am not buying anything from this collection.

 

[VeXedPiNk]

I always forget about my pigments - then I'll use one and BAM I'm using nothing but for a while. Then it tapers off and I go back to forgetting them haha!!

Either way, I'm really liking the looks of Later - I'll probably end up getting it

So I know I would put my hands on those cosmetics... maybe next month?

Not at all, it's just I know how it feels!!

It's soo hard to be waiting ages for a collection or wanting some items that won't be sold at your country!!

I hope your GLOL wait ends really soon!!

I've been thinking Style Black GPS would be great with Later!!

Hi there!

I pm'd you

 

[PlatinumV]

Instead I am totally in love with pigments... during week I have no time to waste in application, but they look so stunning once applied that I simply can't stop using them when I have the time to put them on. So I am still of the idea of buying all 3!
Is there any US girl who want to "adopt" me and buy those pigments for me? :-D (by the way, I have to create a paypall account!)
Is there something that is sold in Europe and not in US? I mean, if someone is so kind to buy for us cosmetics, I would like to return the favour!

Susanne and Karin have previously posted that the CP list will be out in mid-May. You can then get one of the girls/boys on the list to do you the favour.

 

[PlatinumV]

So, really bad news for me... no Liberty of London collection in Venice

I hope the one who'll gonna send me these pigments could also add Birds&Berries!

 

[dxgirly]

Sorry if this has already been answered, but is this a stores only release in the US? Meaning it won't be online or at the counters? Just trying to plan where I have to travel to...

 

[purrtykitty]

It will be online and at freestanding locations only.

 

[Shadowy Lady]

I'm still getting all three pigments, I use my pigments as much as my eyeshadows if not more (on a daily basis). I don't find the application much tricky for me really.

I never really go crazy over any collections, only buy what I need from the ones I like. I skipped most collections last year and this year I only got stuff from Spring Forecast and Liberty. I'm skipping Beach and Pret a Papier so I have room for the three pigments.

Thank you hun

i like the color description of later pigment, especially since it seems to be what i wanted young punk to be, but i can't even remember the last time i used my pigments. i reach for vanilla from time to time as a highlight color, but most of my others have never been used.
guess i'll skip this collection...
