yes in my mind cornflower is nothing like softwash grey at all! cornflower is stunning though too - and easy to work with!

I have cornflower and I simply love it! I was just wondering if softwash grey is similar due to some swatch images... in each image it looks different, I am totally confused! :-D
Thank you all! ^^

VV is making this hard!!! I am still going to get all 3 pigments, though. As so many of you have pointed out, you can't really skip on pigments because new colors are kind of rare.

true - but don't forget the white piggie with pink relfect is apparently a dupe for pink opal so you can skip that one

and it looks like 'later' is coming out with the holiday collection this year so maybe you could skip that too?

 

[TeresitaMC]

^ haha. Later is coming out later.

I'll have to think about that... Do they carry Pink Opal at stores? Will swatch when I go to buy from this collection. Even if Later is coming out later, I really think i want it now. I'm not sure why, but I am extremely opposed to buying from holiday collections.... Don't ask me why- I just never can bring myself to do so. I'm weird

I thinkkkkk Pink Opal is slated to be d/c'd. I'm pretty sure I read that in the d/c thread.

I can somewhat relate to this...I don't oppose buying by any means but I tend to subconsciously shy away from them. Especially palettes & holiday sets. I guess they somewhat make me feel that even though they work out to be cheaper per item but because I won't like every single item from a holiday set/won't like every single colour from a palette so I would feel like I would be spending more money than I would.

Exactly- that's a better way to describe my feelings toward them.

That would be SO awesome! I want a whole collection of just new pigments.... Then, I would go SUPER broke.

Where is the info on the holiday pigments? I looked through the thread but i couldn't find it

 

[TeresitaMC]

Hi Layla! It's over on Em's site: too much blush: a taste of what's to come...

OMG- Thanks! Sounds like lots of new pigments in different collections! YAY!!!! This may be the first time I buy from a holiday collection. Just pigments though! Hold me to that!

By the way, my name is actually Salina.

Layla was my hamster when I was really young (my first pet, actually.) It's misleading, I know, but I actually like it more than my actual name and it was what my mom wanted to name me (after the Eric Clapton song). Really long story and it doesn't really matter, but I just wanted to clear it up! I will answer to either!
