Nothing wrong with bringing that up. I've been saying this for the longest. I love her blog, she's funny and she reviews a wide range of things, but her picture quality is lacking. Most colors just are not true. I'm always more interested in the product photos and her review than her swatches. Say what you will about Temptalia, but I have never been misled by a picture on that site.
this is exactly how I feel about both blogs. I sometimes go to Karen to see swatches because shes closer to my skin tone than temptalia is, but I find temptalia's swatches to be more color accurate.

I bought the chunky pigment stacks from last years Spring collection and honestly its my least used pigments. Its work. Based on that alone I'm skipping the pigment stacks from this collection. Even though the green one is tempting.

About My Paradise... I really oped it was more orange

Anyway I really love this color because it's not pink at all..it's a coral! Full stop. You can see it better on my cheek that is not a scary orange at all (I want scary oraaaange)


PS I've used Surf Baby products to create this! I think it's better to see make up in action!!

I chit chatted with my MA a little about Surf Baby today while I was in the store. He tells me My Paradise applies sheerly, so I guess there's no need to be afraid of it. The Blushettes are not going to be manufactured after all, so don't expect them. He was sad about it - thought they were pretty cool. The pigment stacks are going to be coming in in very limited quantities, so yeah sorry ladies, you'll have to hustle to get them most likely.

Just a couple more weeks!

At first I wasn't really looking at this collection, but now I really want some of the eye shadows and the blush! Does anyone know if there are dupes in the permanent line for anything, or is it all limited edition products?

1. hibiscus l/s
2. naturally eccentric l/s (karens swatch makes this looks almost white.. im a little hesitant now).
3. strange potion l/g
4. saffron e/s
5. sun blonde e/s

[/quote] Paparazz-she is more orange and shimmery. Saffron is a flat, deep rusty orange.

Hm... anybody know if we can buy samples of the pigments?
I'm only really interested in the brown, mauve-y and gold one...

I was really looking forward to the teal pigment stack, but after seeing Karen's swatches I think I'll pass. I am interested in Bust Out now though.

Sorry, but they are different :haha:. Both of those are good duos. I own them both. Actually, looking at all four shades, they are completely different from one another. Saffron is my personal fave even though I have yet to use it :eek:hboy:. Like I said, Saffron is a deep, matte, kinda rusty orange. Like a Rule/Orange shadow baby. Paparazz-She is a shimmery orange kinda like a cousin of Amberlights. The orange from Balthazar is a soft, muted, slightly shimmery orange, but more on the gold side. Kinda like an orange Goldmine. The orange from Mediteranee is the boldest, more peachy orange with shimmer. All are worth having, I think. Left to Right: Saffron, Paparazz-She, Balthazar, Mediteranee

[/quote] Yup. They are very different. I kinda regret buying Paparaz-she, but that's only because I don't really care for that kind of shade on me. I was just on a Peacocky high and bought damn near every piece of that collection.
