I wore the same combo on Friday

and lined the bottom with Parfait Amour.

Did anyone else's palette have shadows that were crooked in any of the sets? My Sorceress palette has the (second) top shadow thats crooked. Trivial, but I just happened to notice the other day.

Cult of Cherry lipglass over Cherry lipliner.

Thank you.

I missed it as well.

I can't wait to get the mini lipglass sets!! At least three more weeks

Only one more week for us (I hope!). I am getting 2 pigment sets this year, the warm one and the sexpot one. I know many of you think they're not very exciting but I just have to accept my brown/neutral leanings and go with it. Also, I look forward to the glitters - Reflects Gold and Antique Gold are both sooo beautiful!
The lipgloss sets are also very tempting, I want both the Sexy and the Frisky one, but I think I'll have to settle for one of them and hope my husband gets me the other one for christmas.

i'm surprised that the uk got the kits so quickly. i wasn't expecting it and some of the counters and stores still haven't put them out! but they're on the site. so odd. hopefully time will go quickly for you and that they'll be well worth it when you do get them!

The new swatches of the Sorceress palette have made me want it even more and have pushed it from a nice-to-have to a must get! Lol. I am seriously considering it. I'll base it on whether or not I get the BB compact :/

 

[coachkitten]

I really only want the lipglass set because of elle. I ran out of that lipglass such a long time ago and it is gorgeous. Hopefully it will show up at a CCO someday.

I know, it was the same for me when I saw the swatch thread! I really can't afford it though, so I hope I can be strong and just say no.

You and me both, Karen! That's why I'm trying to find dupes first

I'm sure it can be done. Except that middle top colour! Love it. It matches my Photo Realism quad

honestly i would skip the bb compact. if you have a cco near you it'll most likely end up there. people aren't spending as much on make up now and at a cco in the uk i went to a few weeks ago they still have last years monogram compacts. i'm skipping bb compact because i'm saving for the yet to be confirmed disney collection!

I seriously would do that, but I'm in Canada and there are NO CCO's here!!!

So I don't have that option at all

 

[TeresitaMC]

I got my sexpot pigment set and sexy shenanigans lipgloss set today. The lipgloss set is soooo pretty that I don't even want to test them

I just opened each one and ooooh'd and awwwed at it

The sexpot set, I am so happy I got it! I was wondering about it, even though 2 of the colours were already on my want list, plus I was liking Sunnydaze swatches. I only have one other pigment (Gold Mode) and it is a mini size, so I know these will last me such a long time! Every single colour, of both these sets, is so lovely!

 

[PinkBasset]

^Nice to hear you like what you got!

I'm planning to get the sexpot pigment set also. I'm trying to resist the lipglasses because I have so many, but I am going to treat myself with Boy Bait if it's as nice in person as in swatches.

oh dear. to be fair there are barely any in the uk and none near me. my mum usually goes twice a year for me to treat me. the one i went to last month took me 3 hours to get to!

 

[chickatthegym]

^^ Good picks

You will LOVE Boy Bait! The texture of those glosses is great and it's a perfect nude color that you will get lots of use out of

I got the sexpot smokey piggies too and they are amazing!!!

Awww thank you!

I hope you love it as much as I do

I used Naked on inner lid today

and used choc brown - a little bit - before using smoke & mirrors palette. I think you'll love Boy Bait

Awww that sucks!

That's a long drive! I hope they open more places around you! As well as a couple in Canada

Come on EL/CCO! Open more stores! They'd get plenty o' business

Will there be a sale in January?, I don`t find anything a must have but if they would have a sale I think I would indulge in a couple things

i'm not sure about the us but in the uk last year they took about 25% off all the holiday kits in jan... i don't think they have ever done that before though so maybe it depends how well the stuff sells?
