Yes, I would say they are different enough on the skin.
Glamour Check is much darker on.

I got coral crepe and instant chic.. passed on the lippies cos they didint jump out to me.. I much prefer Fresh Salmon to dressmaker and made to order.. and Pret a papier l.g was pretty but i know i wont get much use out of it..

Coral Crepe is super pretty! This is one paintpot I can use on my lids by itself and it doesnt crease. I have dark eyelids and it helps neutralise then, just giving it a peach/pink sheen.. very pretty..

Instant Chic.. why did i succumb to this.. store lighting is ALWAYS deceiving.. it looks so ashy when i tried it at home.. its pigmented yes, but soo ashy on

this will go for swap/sale..

I had a lot of things going on and missed out on this collection :*( The 2 things I wanted was the chromagraphic pencil & instant chic, but they are sold out

I saw that MAC has IC on their site, but not the pencil. I'm still debating on whether or not to get it........But I REALLY wanted the pencil. I hope they bring more in stock!

Officially, right now, Instant Chic haunts me no more! So lets hope it doesn't come into my dreams again

I figure if it's this hard to decide, maybe it's not standing out enough for me to consider it a "must-have". I'm sure I will find something else that is similar but will grab me right away and I will be happy with it.

For a lot of the items lately I have been having trouble deciding. All the ones I did skip, I have not regretted. If ever any of these wants become stronger, there's always the CB

Finally I have a notch in my belt against MAC

Ooh I know of those dreams.

I kept dreaming of Blooming Lovely and I knew I have to get it!

I agree, if it is not a must-have to you, you should wait it out. Maybe the lemmings will be gone in a few days time. Good luck! There will be another blush that comes along which you know you must get it! I'm more tempted by Coral Crepe, but no dreams of it yet so I guess I'm fine without it.

Expensive pink over the coral crepe pot is a winning combination!

After some thought, I've narrowed my list down to 4 items: Coral Crepe p/p, Instant Chic blush, Brown Bag n/l, and Gazette Grey e/s.

Not sure if I should get Memorabilia and Made To Order too. Hmm. Is Made To Order really just a shade darker than Ever Hip? Coz I read this somewhere. If that's the case then logic tells me I should skip it. Not being able to see and judge for myself in person totally sucks.

I ended up getting Instant Chic after swatching it and falling for the colour in the store. I remember the swatch being quite pigmented and pretty, the colour looked too cute to pass up. But when I finally tried it on at home, it looked so different on my cheeks so needless to say I'm quite disappointed with this product.
ssad.gif
And on me (NC25) I really had to pack it on and by that I mean I had to reapply about 4 times for me to even see colour. By the end of it, I'm not sure if it's the product that's giving me colour or the scratchiness of my angle brush irritating my skin thus giving me the pink because I've had to reapply so many times. I'm not one who love bright/bold cheeks so it's definitely not me expecting too pigmentation from it. I've heard others say that Dainty has poor pigmentation, I have dainty and I get colour on my cheeks easily with 2 swipes. I know IC is a sheertone blush and initially I thought I would get it so I can have a blush where I don't have to be careful with application. I'm not sure if I'm more disappointed with the colour or the payoff. I really wanted to like it just like everyone else but as it stands it's probably going back.

Now I'm so embarrassed

sorry you thought this. She's an actress that I adore, and to me she's underrated so she's not widely well-known
winks.gif
(think soap opera's
lol.gif
). When I was younger and she was younger, some people said we looked alike, but now she's gotten even more beautiful and I've gotten uglier
lol.gif
Her name's Lindsay Hartley (married name - to Justin Hartley) if anyone was wondering

Sorry again, embarrassed!

MissQQ it's great that you understand what I mean!
greengrin.gif
This lemming has been there since it was released and is finally gone!
lol.gif
The couple reviews I've seen now that the colour isn't what people thought makes me feel better! It did look like an ashy light pink in some swatches and that's not what I was looking for!

So, this collection is an official skip for me

Well after a day off from work finally got to wear Gazette Grey, I loves it! I wore Gazette Grey on my lid, Smoke and Diamonds in the crease, and did Grand Entrance as a highlight, Black Line liner on the lower lashline with Feline in the waterline, very wearable day smokey eye!
