Unsolicited swatches of the new Clinique 'Honey' cheek pops

the lighter one is 'Pink Honey' and the darker one is 'Black Honey'

[MK89]

oh! thanks for the swatches, P! I'm loving Black Honey. Do you think it's similar to Cola Pop at all?

[Mochapj]

@MK89 I looked at them after the fact and Cola is darker and more red. 

Black Honey is lighter and more pink toned.  

[MK89]

thanks @Mochapj! you're always a huge help 🙂

Oh Catherine I NEED you!!

thanks @TKLJ

[TKLJ]

Catherine is the coral I looked for for years!

@TKLJ, shoot, maybe it's also the coral I've been searching for for years?!

Anyone have a swatch of Nars Stud eyeshadow? I saw they were back in stock.

[Elles117]

@Samtian There is a swatch on the NARS thread that was posted earlier today. I have Stud and it's a fantastic eyeshadow! If you need a swatch on a lighter skin tone let me know and I can search mine

[Samtian]

Thank you, that would be great if you could, I'd appreciate it. 

[Elles117]

@Samtian I'll do it tomorrow so that you can see it in natural light 🙂

[Mochapj]

Here is sassy grape in action.  Do we have an ABH thread somewhere? I should probably put this there if we do 😉

[fatimamummy]

Beautiful and very helpful. They look very wearable on. You should make a ABH thread @Mochapj? I would have but I have only handful of her products so I think it is better if someone who has a good ABH stash start the thread.

[Ispend2much6]

That's way more natural looking than I thought it would be.  I like it!

[Mochapj]

Thanks, me too!

 Unsolicited swatches of the Laura Mercier Eye Art Caviar Inspired palette

The shades aren't super exciting nor is there great variety, but the mattes are pretty creamy and pigmented. The darker shimmers felt a little drier (especially the last one) but the lighter ones were very nice. 

[jozkid]

This is a very different grouping for them. I like it.

[k617]

I do love the LM eye palettes! I have last year's (purples and browns), this one looks pretty but last year's colours are more up my alley. Thanks for the swatches!

[Kelizabethr07]

Thanks for posting these! I am seriously contemplating this palette.

[k617]

Here are some unsolicited swatches! I have a lipstick problem, but metallics/frost finishes are my weakness. If I see a pretty satin/matte, I'll think about whether I might have something similar first before buying. But if I see a pretty metallic or frost? I'm done. 

Today, I picked up these 4 beauties after discovering the 2 Sephora Rouge Cream lipsticks online, and swatching the MUFE Rouge Artist Intense in store. 

Clockwise from top left: MUFE #13, MUFE #11, Sephora Temptation #26, Sephora Magnetism #27

The Sephoras!! The metallic finish is amazing. I like the MUFE's too but they are more of a shimmery finish.

Then I thought...shoot...what if I have similar metallics in my collection already?? So I went an swatched them along with all the other metallic pretties I own... 

Left to right: Lise Watier Grenadine, LW Gala, LW Hot Coco, LW Creme Brulee, LW Pomme Cannelle, MUFE #13, MUFE #11, UD Wildfire, UD Wrath, Sephora Temptation, Sephora Magnetism, UD Amulet, NYX Covet

And more....left to right:

KVD Adora, LW Tiramisu, KVD Mercy, KVD Wolvesmouth, KVD Thin Lizzy, KVD Magic (and Burberry Honeysuckle #305 stacked on stop, these 2 aren't exactly frost/metallic), MAC Odyssey, MAC New York Apple, Clinique Heather Moon, Clinique All Heart

I've been going crazy ordering more too...got Coloured Raine and Jouer ones coming...ahhhhh!! I need all the metallic pretties!!
