very nice! how are the beauty powders? are they matte or have some shimmer? also do the lipglosses have some shimmer? Thanks!

I am tempted to buy the Quiver pearlizer. Is this the goldenish one ? Thats the one I am looking for.. not the pink one.

i like the b/p! they are really soft feeling and they are a bit shimmery. not too much though, less glittery than the iridescent powders. i got the gadabout lipglass and i don't see that much shimmer. i'm not sure if the others are shimmery or not. hope this helps!

i only own full-size eye brushes so i can't tell you if the quality of the face brushes are different. the 187se is super soft and so are the other brushes. the only difference is that the se brushes are not handmade. i have a full-size 242 and i felt the 242se. they feel pretty much the same!

i'm nc30 and both show up really well. the softdew b/p is more pink, and the sun twist b/p is more peach

i think they both would look good with your skintone, but i personally am favoring softdew for the moment

Nice haul! What finish is the blush?

 

[hunnybun]

awesome awesome haul! that gadabout on your lips is mad sexy. hubby was sitting next to me as i was browsing specktra and when i scrolled down to that pic he was like....dammmm. haha. looks like i need to be getting my hands on some of that!

 

[paula3boys]

Do you like Quiver and the brush it came with? Would you buy it again now knowing what it is like? I am waiting on mine in the mail right now.

i really like the pearlizer set! when i saw it in person at the nordies counter, i was a bit put off my the smallness of it. the 181se is the height of a blush compact and half the width. the pearlizer is the size of the clear part of the blush compact excluding the plastic black surrounding the plastic clear stuff. but i tried it on, and the brush is super soft. you don't even need to pick up a lot of the pearlizer, a sheer coat on the brush will do the trick. i probably would repurchase it during summer and maybe during fall if they had it. i'm kind of thinking of getting the other pearlizer!!!!

Awesome haul!

Im still trying to decide what to get from the collection.

Which Beauty Powder do you think would be best on me im NC25 with Blonde hair and blue eyes? I'd love to get both but I must resist! hah.

I already own both the Barbie Beauty Powders, are either of them similar to either of those?

 

[ginger9]

Yay what a wonderful haul

dontcha just love NT?!

I only got the Pro Brush set and I LOVE it so much. (I only have two MAC brushes aside from my NT set). Oh and I also got Other Worldly after seeing your tut

 

[Ms. Z]

That's a great hual.

Enjoy!

 

[steph0891]

i am not sure how they compare to barbie because i don't have any of their collection.... sorry i can't help with that. but i love whim. it gives a beautiful pink glow and when i add soft dew, it just is so pretty!

KiwiGirlie: i would suggest the soft dew b/p. i think it would look great on you!

Thanks a million for posting this! I'm torn between the Novel Twist Cool Eyes vs. Warm Eyes. I love how Cool Eyes looks on you though!
