That bronzer is gorgeous - both in color and pattern.

'Was originally going to skip this collection, but now there's almost zero chance for me to pass up the bronzer.

It's funny that it says 2010 on the graffiti. LOL.

It's even funnier it says "JUNGLE" - that's a wee bit out 'o date, too.

They should have just changed "2010" to "1999" and played up the Full Retro.

I'm curious if the color goes through to the pan or if the pink (for the bronzer) and the multiple colors for the e/s is just the first layer.

I don't mind messing up the product - which will happen just after one use - but I want my color all the way through. At least, it's only 38 bucks.

Exactly. 2010 just sounds wrong, but I guess that is when it was designed. Oh well... A bit more attention to detail would be much appreciated.

All the products look amazing in photos, but I'm not sure that any of them is a must-have for me... Nice to look at, though!

'Seems like it goes through for the bronzer - at least, it's hard to imagine that the raised bronze portions would merely be overspray, considering it's a bronzer, not a blush.

In any case, it's like the pink version of My Paradise and it's coming home with me.

if they r not overspray i like the highlight and maybe the bronzer. I'd have to see swatches, but that graffity palette its not only one year old...but still tacky for as much as i wanna be charmed by LE products.

You see, to my eye, it just looks like as if the hot pink is raised - like icing on the cake, but not the bronzer part.

Look at the bottom right portion of the compact in the big, individual picture, where all the stripes converge. 'Sure looks like the bronze stripes are the raised ones, from the shadows. Oh, I do love a good M.C. Escher style illusion.

It'd make more sense for the hot pink part to be overspray, if there is any - actually, doing overspray in an indented portion of the surface could help it last longer.....

Mission accomplished. My eyes are officially tricked.

All I'm interested in is the eyeshadow. If the pigmentation is great, it's mine. I'm surprised it's not more expensive.

 

[peachsuns]

Thanks for the link, Pinkdollface!
They are beautiful to look at. I'm just not sure if I will pick them up.

Still interested in the swatches though.

new info!

I like the look of the palettes, but will i use them?

 

[Mac-Guy]

I can't wait to see how they look like once a brush has swirled through all of them

Like sadness, probably.

No matter how nice they looked on, it'd bum me out knowing I'd have to "kill" them to use it. Like I'd be looking at this big swooshy, smudgy mess a year from now thinking "wow, it doesn't look special anymore"...

[/quote] Don't you have that Guerlain Indigo palette, Katred? :lol: Ruining the design is one of the reasons I couldn't buy it.

A year from now on? For me, it will more like a week. It's like a cake: once you cut the first slice, it won't look nearly as nice anymore. So yes, it's probably a very expensive e/s, bronzer, highlighter, but it will be fun for a few days or weeks. I buy it, for sure, but I know I will start using it the minute I get it.

 

[nuvit]

I think they are super cute =)

 

[Piarpreet]

i wonder if the graffiti palette would end up being beige once the overspray is gone.

 

[Adee]

I do like how they packaged them with a case that looks like a picture frame

Lol, imagine it's just one big beige eyeshadow underneath. That would be disappointing.
