As I've had some time to play around with the items I have, I appreciate it more. While the colors at first glance seem pretty basic, there are some hidden gems. Seemingly "basic" shades that actually have a little something special or different about them. A quad that looks boring, but when applied, contains such a unique and wearable green and purple.
I admit, when I actually used the products, I was surprised.
Oh and I can't forget all the shades work especially well for Fall.
The concept of the collection... still a bit fuzzy to me. But we won't get into all that.
Here are the items I have from the collection. Keep in mind, this isn't the complete collection, just the items I have.

thanx for posting your thoughts and swatches
Did you use a primer when you did the swatches? Cause the swatches I saw on temptalia are not nearly as pigmented.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about this collection- not many of the items made me think "I neeeed this" but the Creamy Bisque eyeshadow, Deep Sea nail polish and the eyeshadow quad look pretty.
ReplyDeleteBelissimas.

ReplyDeleteTo keep the swatches as true as possible, I use the same type of primer I'd use under the product on my face. (eye shadow primer under eye shadows, face primer under blush)

ReplyDeleteThe Creamy Bisque is actually really amazing. Really a perfect highlight color.
Some are very similar to others but overall a few look worth it! Great picks you got I have been thinking about going to get that equilibrium blush

think i'll take a pass, it might be interesting after buying it, but theres no guarantee especially with the basic looking front hmm..
ReplyDeletewould have been awesome to have some deeper shades for fall like oranges and forest greens and deep maroons, oh well

Would you say that the Equilibrium blush is peach or tan? It's hard to tell by the photo. Did you like it with your skin tone?
ReplyDeleteGreat products! Mythical and Creamy Bisque are amazing ♥ !
ReplyDeletelove midnight blue, secret lover and all lipgloss :D
ReplyDelete<3 those Fluidlines and lip-glasses
ReplyDeleteI love the lipgloss social light!
ReplyDeleteWow, if that was one shopping trip thats kinda crazy expensive. After adding all that up thats clearly over $400.00. Even though I love your videos, your collection is a little overboard.
ReplyDeleteI did get excited when i saw this collection.. even though these are neutral colors and they are repromoted colors,most of them i haven't seem before and i love almost everything of this collection :) Great quad!
