Nah uh, we are not falling for Tissueweight!

Looking at Temptalia just now, I have totally kicked the urge to buy it. And Gazette Grey was so unappealing to me personally, I won't even consider it. But I will find you missy, I will be at your local Mac before you get there and I will stop you from buying Tissueweight!

We cannot cave.

And no it's not bad. Instant Chic is full of win. It's strange but Temptalia's got me thinking about Garb. Maybe it just looks better on her skin because I remember going

when I swatched it. We'll see.

I was planning on skipping this one entirely, but now I'm thinking I need Instant Chic. I deserve it after writing 4 exams and a 22 page paper, right? Right?

^I'm scared too 'cuz i'm having second thoughts about Tissueweight but i have about 10 other eyeshadows that look just like it and i'm obsessed with my Grand Entrance eyeshadow right now so i need to put it in my head that they are too similar!

Awwww i'm getting a little disappointed with Fold & Tuck....its very creamy almost and i was hoping for a baby sister version for my pink grapefruit!
Edit: ok so i keep staring at the swatch done on her skin and i'm really liking it but not so much on her lips. I still want it!!! And where are the lipstick swatches already!!??? Hurry

You definitly deserve it! Doooooo itttttttt!!!!! *enabler*

Temptalia needs to get it together. The site has had issues loading for several days now. Me no likey.

And I stick by my opinion that C-thru is gross. It's like you went to town on a glass of milk and didn't wipe your mouth. Gross.

Oh good i thought it was just me having problems getting onto her site or getting to load quickly and properly.

I can't wear c-thru either and i'm nc20. Its milky and glue-like. It would make anyone look like they finished a dirty scene in a porno.

 

[GlamQueen21]

Instant Chic blush is so going to be ordered tomorrow along with Coral Crepe p/p!!

Ok I just shook my urge to buy Garb. So it's just Kraft lipstick and Pret-A-Papier gloss. I'm thinking Dressmaker will be too light. I will go with my instincts.

I have some stuff at Sephora I need to buy. New Nars products!!! and I need to get back to the MUFE boutique.

 

[FemmeFatale]

I thought I was okay passing on Instant Chic, but I dont know now... AH!

I think it's stunning. I say buy it or at least try it on. If anything, you can return it.

 

[Snarkling]

Ok so now that I've seen the swatches my list for tomorrow is going to be:

Coral Crepe PP
NC15/NW20 Chromagraphic Pencil
Dressmaker Dressmaker & Made to Order l/s
Instant Chic Blush
And just because of Temptalia's swatch i'm going to have to get Originality, its just too pretty!

Maybe Archetype & Fold and Tuck as well?

Also I was wondering what peoples opinions are regarding using the Chromagraphic Pencil as a brow pencil for a pale brow look?

 

[aeroerin]

My order comes tomorrow! I'm so excited to get my pret-a-papier goodies, finally.

Temptalia isn't working on my iPod touch right now.

I want to see her swatches...

 

[monter]

Instant Chic and Dressmaker for me. I don't have a single coral/peach lipstick, and that one looks reaaaally nice for spring.

I shy away from coral because I'm so pale and I'm always afraid I'll look too 80s in coral, but that one looks so wearable!

I was going to skip completely, but I'm okay with just those two products! Free shipping means I can finally get Sorcery too, which I'm been lemming for WEEKS.

 

[sss215]

i am going to get

coral crepe paintpot
gazette grey
memorabilia
cut to fit
dirty greasepaint stick, cause it compliments gazette grey pretty nicely i think
naked lunch, cause i think this would work well with the shadows in the collection. tissueweight is too light for me. naked lunch is a staple i should have anyway... we'll see.

 

[aeroerin]

Okay, got onto my laptop to look at Temptalia's swatches...

I'm very happy that I ordered what I did! I think Coral Crepe p/p is still a possibility for me, but I'm holding out until I can swatch in stores so I can hold it against my eye & see what it looks like with my coloring specifically. I only have Painterly p/p, so I *could* justify having another paintpot... I'm just not sure if I should really buy a coral one. I use almost exclusively neutral shadows (think Laura/lollipop26, though I'm lighter-skinned)--do you all think Coral Crepe p/p would do my collection any good?

 

[mac_aiken]

OK, maybe I missed this but how does Instant Chic compare to Hipness?

From what I've gathered, IC is a softer, less-pigmented and pinker blush (not to mention a sheertone finish), while Hipness is a frost-finish, bright coral. HTH!

I'm planning on getting both.

I think it could give your neutrals some interest when used under them. Its not going to show up that much, but it works.

These pencils sound similar to what I used the new nude lip pencil for - except for lining the waterline.

Outlining the outside of the lips, dark shadowing at outer eye corners...
