Oh me too! This definitely isn't an "either/ or' situation. Love Peck is one that I'd order from the web, sight unseen. I'm THAT CONFIDENT I'm going to love it.

Same! I'll definitely be ordering Love Peck unseen. And lots of em.

I've been dreaming of a shade like this since I first got into makeup! And the formula sounds awesome.

Count me in wanting Love Peck! I really hope it's going to be just as gorgeous of a shade we're expecting it to be!

Here's a link to the same promo pics we've already seen, but I'm in LOVE with the display. The pic of the display is at the very top, above the promo pics. Those black pedestals are awesome...I want one!

Agree about the displays. Damn. Those things would look great in my home office! I have to say that the two red lipsticks- Digna and Gesina- and the dark red gloss- Gertruyd- are really calling my name. Plus I'm an eyelash fanatic and the packaging looked really elegant for the new one... Oh dear...

I am so much in love with the design of this collection

And Gesina seems to be a perfect red for me because there is a "Red with pink"!!!!!!!
It also has a cream finish which I really love.

 

[LMD84]

yeah the pedastools are cute! however is it just me or does anybody else think there should be a magical rose in rose like in beauty and the beast?!

 

[TeresitaMC]

^ haha yup! They look like that glass the rose is in!

 

[LMD84]

i've always wanted a statue of that rose in the glass cabinet

please make one disney! that is reasonably priced!! i love all the snow globes disney do but they're so pricey! eek!

The pedestals do look good but.. Ugh, this collection is so full of itself

lol! it is full of itself. but sadly has sucked me in on a bloody lipstick!

 

[Anneri]

Me too... I want the compact and one l/s so badly... But what does the mystery powder DO? Do you use it as a setting powder?

yeah it's just a really fine powder. it's quite nice but nothing special

 

[Anneri]

Thank you, Lou!

If this collection wasn't so freaking expensive! Sigh...

For me the Sheer Mystery Powder has recently become much more valuable!

The compact from last year's collection is special to me, so I carry it around in my purse at all times. I use it mid-day or whenever I need a little touch-up as an all over powder. It's very light and doesn't add a thick cakey layer of powder to my already done up face. The best surprising result for me is under my eyes...it doesn't settle in the tiny little fine lines just starting to form under my eyes, and it makes them look better. I have no idea if this will be the same for anyone else, but I'm in love with it for that reason alone.

Is it worth the heavy price tag? Probably not. For me though, it's worth the splurge...I really love it!

 

[katred]

^ You make me wonder how this stuff would work for those of us who slightly more pronounced wrinkles around the eyes. If it can hide those- hell, who cares about the price?!?!?!?

 

[TeresitaMC]

I do the same thing with my Sculpt and Shape Powder in Accentuate/Sculpt. Oh how I wish I got last years

one day(!)

I'm usually really iffy about powder under my eyes, especially for touch ups mid-day. For whatever reason (aging, blah!) it just seems to make me look terrible. Recently I gave it a shot with this powder on a whim, and was beyond pleasantly surprised with the results. Maybe it's just a personal phenomenon for me? I don't know, but I'll take it!

Has anyone else tried/experienced this with the Sheer Mystery Powder?

yes i agree that it never looks cakey.

it is a nice powder dont get me wrong, i just feel the rimmel one i use is really similar

perhaps when i start to get some lines around my eye area i will appriciate mine more!

So...less than 2 weeks away now. Still no swatches?
