Mine too... I may skip it if it looks like that on me. I don't do brown.

Does anyone know what the finish is for Instant Chic?

both chromagraphic pencils are more yellow than anything.

gazette grey has no grey in it whatsoever. its definately are green brown. and by swatching i could tell it was a velvet. i don't know what its officially labeled as, but whatever its labeled, it is most definately a velvet with the subtle sparkles.

awe, really.....I don't want a yellowed pencil.....something to scratch from the list, perhaps?

if gg is more brown, then grey, I may have to add this back to my list...what do you think it would look like with, let say, Club ??

 

[kpenn]

Uh oh...by the looks of those swatches, this might be a medium-sized haul after all.

Definitely:
Instant Chic
Coral Crepe
Dressmaker, Dressmaker
Made to Order

The verdict is out on the l/g, e/s and lighter chromographic pencil (it looks so freaking yellow!!).

club would definately be good to pair with it.

 

[elegant-one]

ok, my brain is a bit MIA lately

What is the lowdown on the chromagraphic pencils again? why yellow?

 

[sss215]

Coral Crepe looks nice. I hope its not shimmery. We'll see!

 

[GlamQueen21]

Erin's swatches are now making me want Tissue Weight e/s, Instant Chic blush and Fold & Tuck l/g!! I will resist the lipglasses and the eyeshadows from now and only end up with just Coral Crepe p/p.

 

[stv578]

I really like the looks of Gazette Grey and Tissue weight, esp. since tissue weight doesn't look overly frosty. I really also like Instant Chic blush, which wasn't a consideration before. I should have enough to b2m for the two e/s, but the blush....? And if I do get the blush, then I'll have to at least get one lipglass to round out the haul... hmmm.

 

[abbyquack]

-Gazette Grey
-Chromographic NC15
-Instant Chic Blush

...and do I need Tissue Weight?

I have Ricepaper, wonder if it is similar...

 

[iheartangE]

I actually really like the combination of the eye shadow colors together!!

So do I. I have Ricepaper e/s and rarely use it. Since Tissue Weight e/s is a frosted pale peach while Ricepaper is a peachy gold with shimmer.

 

[clslvr6spd]

Gazette Grey & Tissue Weight look like yummy goodness!

 

[rhode]

Might have to get Gazette Grey.

I love Ricepaper! It's my go to highligter. Although, I've been trying to use Creme de Miel and Retrospeck a bit more. Ricepaper will probably be the first shadow I hit the pan on.

I want Gazette Grey and Tissue Weight. I might skip Cut to Fit b/c I am not a fan of how brassy colors look on me. They can make me look ill. That's why I rarely wear Antiqued and Coppering. We'll see. I am loving all the swatches in the swatch forum. I want pretty much the whole collection. I knew it would rock!

 

[GlamQueen21]

^Tissue Weight e/s would be the only e/s that I'll get in this collection along with Coral Crepe p/p.

 

[Civies]

I LOVE club.. so I might get gazette grey just to pair with it now because I'm crazy

 

[angelisagemini]

So if someone already had fresh salmon, lollipop lovin, and ever hip....would they really need made to order and dressmaker dressmaker?

I'm hoping no...it's tempting, but I'm a stay at home mom and what am I going to do with 5 similiar lipsticks, lol?
