Now that they're up on the site . . .

the website says the shadows are VP. Some others have said that they are actually satins . . . anybody know for sure?

 

[Krasevayadancer]

The site is wrong- they are satins

I saw in my manager's update book that Pagan's working name was Bitter. Is Pagan a rerelease of Bitter, or are they just similar?

they are similar. bitter is visually more yellow. i swatched both in my book, not on my hand.

Thank you! I'm sort of a collector of Acidy Green shadows. I have Bitter, and Eyepopping, and I'm excited for Pagan too! I'm placing my order today through the warehouse. =)

I'm still wondering how similar Pagan is to Overgrown.

Lara has a great comparison on her site. I am skipping Pagan. I have Overgrown, and from the pic, I like it better anyway

[dianadisaster]

What about Nile versus Bang On Blue, how similar are they?

 

[noahlowryfan]

is the New Vegas mineralize skinfinish good for someone with NC30-35 skintone?

 

[greentwig]

I didnt end up getting any of the e/s's or paint pots from this collection. When I tested them I didnt like any of them at all.

the texture/color was dissapointing to me. I found better colors in the normal line...
I ended up getting New Vegas and that was all.

If you like a golden shimmer to your cheeks then yes.

I have a picture of the 2 in the pot side by side in the swatch section

A lot of people seem to be pretty disappointed with this collection. Are any of the shadows or lip stuff worth buying now? Reviews of this collection are making me feel like it'll be worth buying at a CCO later down the line.

I'm trying to decide to get either paintpots or e/s. As I'm a college student on a tight budget. Which ones would you recommend? And what do you all think about the lip glosses?

 

[syrene78]

I love this collection!
We need some bright colors every once in a while and the paints pots are all gorgeous and so vivid!

 

[BunnyBunnyBunny]

Oooh Overgrown! I wish I had that one!!

I placed my order this morning. All 3 shadows, 3 paint pots, and New Vegas, plus other things I NEEDED... xD

I have the same NC30 skintone and I bought New Vegas this week. Because it looks like a light color, I didn't think twice about buying it.

The color is ok for me... it's just that I think the gold would look better on a tanned skin. For me the gold sparkle is much more prominent and visible (less natural) than for example with Global Glow. Global Glow was perfect for me because it seems to blend better.

I like a hightlighter with an invisible sparkle in it. For me New Vegas gave me the same effect as if I would be using a Gold tinted pigment as a blusher or highlighter

thanks so much. i'll just skip everything in this collection. does anyone know how often mineralize skinfinish comes out?

 

[Ascella]

I think I'll skip Pagan as well, since I already have Overgrown.

Anyone knows how close is Haunting compared to Clear Sky Blue pigment?
