Here's a (blurry) picture of my Perfect Topping, the only product I got from this collection:



A nice mix of colours

Swatched it looks like a mix of The Balm's Cindy & Mandy-Loumizers, but on my face I find it a bit disappointing actually, Lightscapade (I have the 2014 repackaged version, with lots of veining) looks better on me imo.
I got the original perfect topping from a collection a few years ago which i can't remeber. when i look at your Picture i wish i haven't gotten the original one and bought this one instead. I love the knitted pattern!!

I think the variation of the swatches is attributable more to the difference in skin shades and undertones rather than deviation from standard production. I went there hoping for the same pretty swatch on your picture, but I guess since I'm medium NC, there was little expectation that it would show up like that on me. And indeed it was not to be, which was a let down because I really like the way it shows on you. It''s what I wanted Porcelain Pink msf to look on me.
Oh, no, there really is huge batch variation. I swatched some at the counter (after I got mine in the mail) that just went on a peachy beige even against my porcelain skin. With that being said, there is definitely less of a chance of the pink popping against medium and darker skin, so that probably does have something to do with it, too. I will have to try mine on some other people and report back.

I'm not too fond about the pattern to be honest, I prefer the normal domes :) Happy to enable ;) Thanks! I ordered it online, so I had no idea whether I'd gotten a "good" one or not, so I was very happy to see this lovely mix :)
I'm with you I'm not too fond of the design either. It crumbles easy and I feel like my highlighter brush picks it up weirdly because of the design.

My mom just gave me her lightscapade from this collection since she never opened it. How did I go so long without lightscapade? It is so beautiful! Had to share my excitement. :)

Got this at a CCO last Thurs and I love it! Apparently it was unreleased from the Temp Rising collection? As per my Googling, lol! Also it appears as though they previously named a lipglass from the Give Me Liberty of London collection Frankly Fresh too. The undertones of this one are gold. Sorry, I didn't go past your posts to see what anyone else said about it...
