IGNK is the biggest star of the collection for me! Don't have a lot to work with but I'm getting 2 of these. I hope they'll promote it again later in the year. *wishful thinking*

I noticed how sheer the PP were too. That's really the big hang-up for me. Idk if they'd be a good base for eyeshadow if they're that sheer, and that's why I'd be getting any of them in the first place. Hmm ... I guess I'll just have to wait and see.

I'm back to wanting that platinum polish! (So not like $$$$$ Yes!). It is a gorgeous colour and one that I'm very fond of. I just don't like the price or the formula. She posted possible dupes, I wonder how close they are...

"Very Important Platinum resembles Dior's Timeless Gold, though--not quite as gold and clearly the finishes are different--but a lot more than Soiree. Essie's Steeling the Scene looks like it might be a slightly light version, while China Glaze's Cords seems to be a little darker."

IGNK will be fabulous too if you do a thin blended line just below your smudged black/brown lower eyeliner. I do this with similar colors & it really makes the eyes/liner pop. Digging this

I don't know what to think of the PP. I still like the peach & brownish colors, we'll see.

Just watched the video and my list is monstrous now!

Feline (x2 at least)
I Get No Kick (x2 - one for eyes, one for lips)
Chez Chez Lame Special Reserve Highlight Powder
Rose Ole Special Reserve Highlight Powder
Soiree Nail Lacquer
Very Important Platinum Nail Lacquer
Bubble Lounge Lipgelee (x2)
Sin-Tillation Lipgelee (x2)
Luxure Lipgelee (x2)
Straight to the Head Lipgelee
Calm Mode TLC (x2)

I like the quad, but the one I really like is Brule, so I'll just pick that up when I go to the counter one day. It's not worth it for me otherwise. Lipsticks and paint pots are a total skip for me.

And I'm delusional for even pretending I can afford all this.

Well, I got to Mac pro and decided to call one more time before getting buzzed in and someone actually picked up the phone. Too bad she said the collection will be up for sale Monday! I will go back. Not all is bad b/c I went to macy's and bought a Michael Kors watch. Yay me!

Anyway. After looking at swatches on Temptalia, I can add, remove and continue to be confused. I want Straight to the Head lipgelee, but I don't know about Sin-tillation and Bubble Lounge anymore. I already know from experience that Lipgelee's look better in person than in photos. However, I am afraid that Sin-tillation will leave me looking like I went head first into a giant powdered donut. I hope the pink will be more obvious on my lips in person. Luxure is the same as resort life, so that's a skip (I noticed last night that Mac's description for them is the same).

I'm now getting 2 of I get No Kick b/c it's special to me. I can't wait to use it on the waterline/lower lashline. I am going to get one Feline and bring my total Felines to 4. I should be good.

Quiet, Please lipstick looks really good to me. I don't always love frosts on me, but I'm thinking this may work. I will have to swatch it.

I am confused about the paint pots and highlighters. Dangerous Cuvee looks soooo good in russianbabe's youtube video, but the Temptalia swatch was so weak. I have to see for myself. Also, I thought Chez Chez Lame would be better for me, but Temptalia says Rose Ole is more pigmented, warmer and better for dark skin while CCL may come off ashy. Boo!

Ok I looked it up & whoot!

a French wine term derived from cuve, meaning vat or tank.[SUP][1][/SUP][SUP][2][/SUP] The term cuvée is used with several different meanings, more or less based on the concept of a tank of wine put to some purpose:

I'm sure that there are other meanings but ^

I had to google the term myself, elegant. LOL I got: A French wine term derived from cuve meaning vat or tank. Cuvee is used with severl different meanings involving a tank of wine being used for some purpose.

So, there ya go. Sounds good to me.

I've been mainly ignoring this collection but the swatches made me want IGNK. It is waterline safe, right?
I use a peachy metallic nude kohl on my waterline all the time and this shimmery champagne shade would be lovely for that too. Other than that, I'll probably only get Feline. I was expecting more from those PPs and now I'm a bit disappointed.

Oh well.. money saved for Stylishly Yours and Peacocky!

Hm...I'm thinking do I really need Dangerous Cuvee if I have Knight Divine shadow? They seem really similar and I hardly ever use KD. I may have to skip it on Monday and buy it later in the week if I change my mind.
