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

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!!

Beautiful! Your lips are enviable.

[Ispend2much6]

Love the MUFE ones.

[TopazBeth]

Holy perfect lips, Batman! You need to model every lipstick.

Just in case anyone is curious here's what the new YSL vinyl mascara looks like #contest #allinawink . I did one eye with no mascara and then one with black mascara on for reference to the blue I'm in trouble shade. Sorry for not wearing any other makeup/eyeshadow - didn't realize how red my nose/eyes were.

The blue is very captivating with your eye color @niki172!

I wish the glitter one was this pigmented.  Although I did get the mini black one and it's good.

[niki172]

Thanks @Mochapj I really like how pigmented it is and think I'm going to try to use it on the tips of my lashes. The only thing I've ran into is that this stuff smears like crazy if you get it wet such as watery eyes. Gotta love allergy season! Sorry the glitter one didn't work out - it looked very pretty online.

[Mochapj]

I think that's a great idea, @niki172!

I was really taken with the promo photo of Cara Delavigne with the blue on her lower fringe.  So pretty!

[natalie12]

Could someone swatch laneige bb cushion in either light medium or medium? Thank you! 

[ShopgirlM]

Here is light, medium, and medium dark @natalie12

[natalie12]

@ShopgirlM

the medium shade fit me perfectly! Thank you for the swatch! 

[natalie12]

Thank you! The medium dark is a lot lighter then I would expect it to be.  I have medium olive tone skin. I might get the medium dark then? 

[TopazBeth]

Unsolicited round two: bright pinks. Clearly I have a problem with picking up near-dupes in this category.

[missjeanie]

I love both this photo and the purples... I was on the fence about radish, and haven't tried any of the buxom gel yet, but it looks like both are now on my loves list!  Thanks!

[JazaChai]

I don't think you actually mean Baci. Baci is a cool-toned nude. Bacca?

Also, love your tattoo!

[TopazBeth]

Oops, you're right! Updated accordingly!

And thank you! It was my first and remains my favorite.

[TKLJ]

I was curious, so I swatched my new lippies against some possible dupes.
