OK, so I went to the event tonight. It was really crowded, but I managed to swatch everything. The lighting was horrible. It made everything look yellow. I tried to take pics when I got home, but they're not much better.
I bought Local Wares, a BU of Dark Diversion since I already have one from Mac Me Over, and Dipdown since it's been on my to-buy list forever. I also threw in Rich Ground for the same reason, but I accidentally bought two and will be returning one. Local Wares isn't an obvious green. It's a very dark brown green.
I thought I bought Restless lipglass. I was given C-Thru instead and I will be returning it ASAP. I didn't notice it until I got home. I was devastated. Restless is gorgeous, and I'm going to buy it when it launches online and a BU. I didn't get Eclectic Edge Edge or Ready to Roam because I thought they were similar to other colors. I was wrong. Caqui is more coral than Eclectic Edge and lacks shimmer. Rivera Life is a brighter orange than Eclectic Edge. Eclectic Edge is a darker, more burnt orange. Nitrolicious and Send Me Sailing don't have Ready to Roam's shimmer. It's close to Cult of Cherry, but Ready to Roam is a richer red.
I swatched the eye shadow duos. I passed on them, but I wasn't planning to get them anyway. If I were to get one, it would be On the Hunt. I also passed on the mattenes for now. I like the colors of Fashion Nomad and Eden Rough, but didn't feel excited enough to get them. I feel like I already have those colors. I don't have anything like Camden Chic. It seemed to be the most unique of the mattenes to me. If I do decide to get a mattene, it will be Camden Chic.
I also swatched Styleseeker nail polish. It's really pretty, but I wouldn't say it's a duochrome polish. It seems more like a bonzey metallic orange to me. It applied streaky on the 1st coat. I didn't intend to do a 2nd coat, but I smudged the first coat and had to do it over.
I took a look at Cremesheen+Pearl while I was there. I was surprised by how much they swatch like lustres. Again, it was too crowded so I only looked at Pure Zen, Pink Pearl Drop, Saigon Summer and Sunny Seoul. I know these are permanent, but I feel like I need them now. Oh, and I got my tube of Prep+Prime Lip. I like the blue shimmer in the packaging.
EDIT: Oops! I listed a lipglass name incorrectly. Electric Edge has been updated to Eclectic Edge.
