And they look a frosty mess. The color descriptions on lustres are kinda wonky.
Kinda wonky is an understatement. I think my experience with Gospel has put me off lustres. I do like some of the lustres in this collection, but it's having the same experience of swatching it and the swatch is not what it is in the tube and does not match up to colour description. I just don't want to be disappointed again

I hate it when a lipstick disappoints me as well. Hopefully these lustres have better pigmentation than other lustres. I do hope the descriptions are true.

Either way, I can't wait to see swatches. The lustres, I'm gonna try in store. At least then, I would save some money, without jumping in head first

The only lipsticks that have really disappointed me have been lustres. Oh I had such hopes for you, Dreaming Dahlia...

I'm not totally a fluidline girl. Maybe I need to explore a bit. I only have Blacktrack and Deliciously Rich, never use each. Do you guys use your fluidlines for winged liner most of the time or whaa?
I use my fluidlines for liner and as bases for some looks. I like to use colored liner on my bottom lid to make boring neutral looks more fun.

So which brush are you all using with the fluidlines? I need help, I've been practicing my winged liner but it's still tragic.

I'm mostly using my 266 Brush, which I absolutely love, and I've got some angled liner brushes by Essence. Not sure whether they're available everywhere (at least this could be a recommendation for some ladies in Europe). They are about one or two Euros and great for both any kind of liner and filling my brows with powder. Of course, they're not as good as Mac, but they're great value.

If you have pigmented lips, they're always going to blend with the color of a Lustre. I do think that Lustres can be hard on the lips when you over apply them, but if you go with the translucency and do a moderate coat, they don't get harsh on the lips. I love Lustres because they make the lips look very soft and young, but you only get that with a medium coat, not a heavy or layered one.

If you all skip this collection, it just means more for me!

There are a ton of the lipsticks I'm interested in, but I'm particularly crazy for Highlights! Dying for that one, which will show up like a peachy nude on my red lips. Can't wait!

Ivy is one of my most used f/ls - looking forward to picking up a new one with this collection. However, I like doing colored wings, which is what I always use it for. It's not a dark, smokey color at all - it's GREEN. I'll do big wings with Ivy and then use a very soft pink, or bright orangey coral or lavender on the lips. The only drawback with it is it can be a little sheer with one layer. You have to build it a bit, which is fine since that's how I do larger wings.

Thanks for the tip, [@]liba[/@]. I do want to give lustres another try, I may pick up one and see how it goes and maybe that hate/hate relationship I have with them will turn into a love/hate relationship. Can someone please reminds this evening to sort out my fluidline list, I need to google them and say yes or no to each one

I was using liquid for a long time and since I have a bunch of fluidlines I started using them again and Ive fallen in love with them again. I usually do a winged look but sometimes I just keep it simple. I find that my winged liner is not very good but when I use my fluidlines even my crappy applications look pretty decent.

I was on the search for some brushes recently and did some reading, I just picked up the 266 and 210 this weekend. Both are nice. I find the 266 is more fluid and easy to use but I may prefer the 210
