Have you seen poppy z's FOTD? She used the exact same eyeshadows (Floral Fantasy, not Purple Haze) for the look and it looks just as stunning. The face chart though was a tad misleading, since they use the green colour to represent Moonflower. I'm tempted to even buy those shadows just to recreate that look, even though I know the blue wouldn't look that great on my asian skin.

In comparing the two l/s, both are the frost formula but Fresh Buzz is lighter and pinker, Strange Hybrid has more depth and a touch more peach. I hope that helps!

Yet again I'm really kind of underwhelmed by this collection (and you guys have posted GREAT swatches, thanks!). Of course I will have to go look at it, but thus far only Hothouse l/g may come home with me. I was all fired up for Jardin Aires pig but now I'm unsure.

Now Nordie's Novel Twist -- THAT I am interested in!

About Fleurry being frosty, personally I think a little frost is much more flattering than shimmer in a blush. You get a glow rather than obvious bits of glitter all over your cheeks.

Flowerplay is more coral than lustering.

Agreed. I tried it yesterday and it turned out I didn't have any problem with the level of frostiness (I always apply blush very lightly though)....but the shade didn't do much for me. There really wasn't much of anything from this collection that I liked on me. On to Moonbathe. That I'm looking forward to!

Edited to say I did buy First Bloom, which I do like!

poppyz used "pencil bourjois metal effect "vert pépite" UNDER moonflower
that's the reason why it looks different of moonflower alone

This is good to know. Can I ask what your skintone is?

I'm so excited about this collection, it's right up my alley. I'm going to MAC Pro class on Sunday so I'm excited to see how Konstintine (the MAC pro artist) uses the colors or even if he does. I'm gonna spend soooo much!

Thanks! I am just the opposite... NW15, pink undertones. I am secretly hoping it won't work for me either, cause I want so much other stuff! LOL!

This collection is really prettier than I had thought it would be. I loved both the blushes and all the lipsticks. The eyeshadows weren't like out of this world, but I still bought them all. I think Fertile and Seedling are my faves. I didn't think I would like Seedling but it really is a nice neutral. Anyhow, now I'm just waiting for Moonbathe, and then C-shock, and....uhhh it's a neverending cycle!!

I really love this collection! I wasn't expecting to want to much. I had to break things up into 2 hauls. Today I got both blushes, moonflower, strange hyrbid and flowerplay. Next week I am going back for Orchidazzle, Fertile, Rose Blanc and Floral Fantasy

Same here AudreyNicole! I originally wanted a lot, then decided against it... but then when I got there to just buy the pigments it was all so pretty & tempting! I ended up buying Provence, Jardin Aires, Seedling, Orchidazzle, Strange Hybrid, & Cultured.
