I want the 187. I know it is stupid to pay that much, but I love it!

Love the packaging, hate the price!

If you love it and the expense isn't a burden then you should get it! It's beautiful and luxurious and if it makes you feel beautiful and luxurious then it will be a great deal!

I need to feel it in my hand before I know if I really want it. I don't actually use my 187 that much but the one thing I always use it for is my Guerlain Meteorites powder which is pretty luxurious. I might get the brush just for that powder. I would have to come up with a way to display it though.

I'm still pretty tempted by Digna. It looks a little warmer on her lips, but she describes it as being close to Dark Side, which works for me. I love the look of Gesina, but if it's as close to Fusion Pink as she says, I don't need it. Gertruyd doesn't look as special as I'd hoped, so it looks like it may just be the one lipstick for me. My wallet will be happy.

just digna for me which is good seeing as i was meant to be skipping this collection anyway!

I have to say I really love the powder and compact. Wish I could afford it.

Have to say I'm loving all the lipsticks.

I'm disappointed by the glosses though.

Great idea on the Meteorites! I agree on the display too. If I end up with one of the brushes I'll have to find a way to keep it on display.

 

[LMD84]

oh yes get the brush if you can afford it! it's so beautiful!

 

[Anitacska]

Hmm, the glosses look pretty sparkly for me but they have a brush applicator sounds nice. The lipstick colours are all pretty but probably not very special. She only gives the packaging on the lip products 4/5 but doesn't say why. I think it's beautiful but I would also want it to feel nice in my hand.

She almost never gives 5/5 for packaging. Don't know why.

I think I'm getting the brush and the compact. I do not mind paying for design as I value creativity and find design an important art form. That's why I don't want to say they are overpriced. Expensive, yes, but so is all design and there's a reason for that as it was created by someone who put a lot of work and talent into it. The world needs more beautiful shapes

I have to admit, I'm still sorely tempted by this one. It's just such a beautiful piece. I'm also thinking that I need some new brushes. A couple of the ones that I have are starting to shed...

 

[laylalovesmac]

The more I look at the compact, the more I like it. Ah! This is not good.

It is my birthday next week. Justifiable as a present to myself?

I really like the swatches of Gesina Lipstick and Beatrix Lip Gloss. The others are nice (especially the gold gloss, which I think could be incredible over red lips), but not totally demanding to be owned. That could all change in person, but for now those are the lippies of interest. I'm still 100% sold on the powder compact, and about 85% sold on the brush.

Birthday Twin, I think it's a great happy birthday to yourself item! Long after the powder's been used up, you'll still be using the compact...it's a birthday gift that keeps on giving!

Birthday Twin, you're such an enabler!

Not only do I feel good about buying the powder, but now I'm dying to see the gold lip gloss over the red lipstick.

I love the swatch of Gesina, too. It looks as bright as my Profusion l/s, and I like it.

Somebody's birthday is coming very soon!

 

[laylalovesmac]

^I know the compact is incredible! The thing I'm worried about is the fingerprints like temptalia said. Random fingerprints on stuff drive me batty.

I hope it's not too bad.

oh yes the compact and designs of everything is lovely! plus if the mascara is going to be the same price when it is released next month i may as well just get it when this collection comes to the uk

 

[Camnagem]

I'm sorry! Well sort of...ok not really, but I meant well.

Quote: I love the swatch of Gesina, too. It looks as bright as my Profusion l/s, and I like it.

I finished my last tube of Profusion a little while back and it totally bummed me out. I think Gesina will be a really nice replacement!

I really like Profusion, but the weird thing is, it's not bright on me at all. It looks quite subdued, like a normal mid-tone pink. If I want impact, I have to go for either Fusion Pink or Show Orchid (and even SO doesn't always look that bright). Makes me curious to see what Gesina looks like on.
