Metal-eXtreme luster.

Whatever it is, it's puuurdy.

Ardent looks great! I have to swatch it in person! I'm really curious about the formula, must try it!

 

[MACcrazy]

love that color! I like using it w/ lucky green on the lid and that in the crease (sometimes on top of humid in the crease to get the extra depth there) and a nude lip, my go too look when I'm in a hurry but wanna have some oomph

I finally ordered Ardent and Obscura a few days ago and they are already shipped!!!

Can not wait to get them....I do so much love the swatches

Awesome! Did you try them out yet?

ahah nope, I'm afraid to ruin them! I must buy a pair of "classic" lashes and learn how to use them!... I've never used a pair of falses so begin with the Gareth ones it's a bit odd

Loved both of the GP metal x's.

They've been on Pro for over a week now. Are you sure you signed in correctly? I know that the Pro site sometimes tends to log you out faster than you can say "Pro."

Definitely check out Ardent. You will love it on your green eyes!

i signed in again and again and its not in the whats new, its not in the holiday section, its not even with search bar (like typing azalea and nothing comes up)

That's really weird... they should show up under the GP collection tab.

Well I had to send restrict back. I tried to love it, and I tried it with other products to make it work. It looked beyond hideous on me. I don't like to return make up, but I made an exception with this lipstick. Horrible, horrible, and did I mention horrible on me!

 

[Piarpreet]

because somebody mentioned here that daphne was up

Lol, but you are posting in the GP thread.

 

[Mac-Guy]

Wishful thinking.

I guess I am going to be lone dissenter here regarding the Metal X. While I was prepared to buy Ardent unseen, I did get an opportunity to see these in person and play with them. Ardent is lovely but I don't feel it is necessarily special. I feel like I have quite a few colors that are similar. Obscura blew me away though. It looks so unimpressive in the pan but when you play with it, it really comes to life. I grabbed it as fast as I could.

GP has been eyeopening for me. Other than Elude I didn't get anything I thought I would. Before I saw it I thought everything dark, vampy and purple would be mine (that's my kind of thing). Instead I end up with a nude lip, funky lashes and a beautiful silver shadow. AWESOME!

I love when I venture outside my "makeup comfort zone" and find unexpected products I wouldn't have otherwise picked up! We think we know what we like & what works for us, but your story is a great example of how we should never stop challenging ourselves and trying new and unexpected things!
I had a recent experience like that too! Before, I would NEVER have even picked up an orange lipstick. I'm a pinks and nudes lipstick girl mainly. But Dior's Holiday collection had an orange lipstick my friend convinced me to try. I wasn't happy about it... I ended up LOVING it. Bought it. Asked for a BU for Xmas. And am now REALLY excited about all the orange lippies coming out with the new 2012 collections!!
