Jeanette, I love Dior's apricot creme. It's $$ but it lasts forever and there's nothing better.

You do an amazing job, especially the shape of your nails, that can be tricky!

Thank you!

Crème Abricot is about 21 Euros here but so worth it!

On A Mission is sooo beautiful!! I am wearing it over Refined Golden (which I still have) right now! This combo is hot. It is. I love On A Mission as much as I love Blomming and Stark Naked. Gorgeous shade. I will post comparison pics of these three and with Flirt & Tease tomorrow. Second thing I love: Bright Future. It is yellow, a Veluxe Pearl and in this adorable packaging. This is my definition of summer. It will become my fave yellow e/s from the ones I have. I will post comparison pics as well. Third thing I love: Fierce & Fabulous. I have a lot of bright pink l/g, also Magnetique. But this one is so unique! Such a great blue pearl shimmer, very pigmented on me. On A Mission and Fierce & Fabulous will look hot in fall as well with dark smokey eyes! I will try Solar Riche, Eversun and Liberated tomorrow. I love my Refined Golden but will give SR a fair chance And I love Sunbasque so Eversun will be great as well. What a great day! Style Warriors haul and first news of the fall collections!

I'm so glad you got your SW! Enjoy and post some looks.

Refined Golden, Purple Rite and Fierce & Fabulous are very pretty too! I liked Vibrant Grape but it felt very gritty so I passed. I tried the lustre drops which I was curious about. Pink Rebel disappeared when blended and Sun Rush showed as a pretty, golden highlight. I don't like I will use it much so I passed too.

Glad you got your goodies, I had the same problem with pink rebel, just disappeared on me. Thanks to Tish I got sun rush ld, which I love.

Read above, I was excited about pink rebel, but it doesn't show on me.

And be sure to stamp the image plate immediately after you scrape the extra paint off, otherwise it will dry too quickly and not pick up the entire image. It was a bit of trial and error for me, but once I got my timing down, it was a breeze. I can stamp both hands in less than 10 minutes now Let me know if you have any other questions once you get it!!

Aah, too much trouble for me, so sad.

Thanks for all tips though.

About Mercenary.. I did my nails with Richelle from ZOYA today and even though I don't have Mercenary (yet) from the swatches I have seen they seem to have a very similar finish. Richelle is just lighter/brighter and less antique gold and more gold.
I made pictures and will post them tomorrow.

 

[Yushimi]

Did anyone even bother trying the skinsheens? Lolz I totally forgot about them until I went in yesterday to check out OAM again.

 

[NeonKitty]

I'm going to post an FOTD when I get home tonight, where I'm wearing BNB, gold rebel, and sun rush l/d. I lurve this look!

 

[juaini]

hey guys

sorry if this has been discussed... how does On A Mission compare to Benefit Dallas, does anyone know? it kind of looked similar in one of the pics in the swatch thread. it also looks kind of similar to NARS Sin in another pic. thanks!

I hauled my 3rd installment of SW today, and I am officially DONE!!!

1st haul:
purple rite
bright future

2nd haul:
sun rush
Brave New Bronze
gold rebel
liberated
On a Mission
Mercenary

3rd haul:
soft force
sunsational


I have to say, sunsational is a hidden treasure. My third time trying it on my hand, I finally decided to try it on my lips. It is subtle but stunning and I think it is a must have summer color for all NCs. It makes my lips the most perfect golden shimmery natural color. Gorgeous!

I 100% agree...It's my dh's favorite out of the collection...Prob because I wear pink and nude all the time ...he is welcoming gold...lol

I am still trying to edge back over to RR and get another Virgin Kiss

 

[BaDKiTTy69]

I tried BNB with darker eye makeup and I really like it now. I posted FOTD on it.

Oh, thank you Tish! I am a little bit lazy to do my eye makeup to work, so I only play with it on weekends. Plus most of the time is nothing special, so I dont take any pictures.

But I will try to post more.

 

[TISH1124]

^ Yeah but a lot of us like simple neutral looks....Anywhoooze you look amazing!!!!

 

[coachkitten]

Why does BNB look amazing on so many people but not on me! It looks like the perfect nude/pink color on BadKitty. Very pretty FOTD!
