Very pretty, @Kim888 ! 🥰  I've not heard of this brand.  Love your pumpkin, too! 🟠

[Sunnysmom]

I so agree with you @Kim888 ! I love mine and the palette is really wearable! I was wondering same about eyes. Let me know how it goes! 

[Kim888]

@Sunnysmom @So I gave them a go as eyeshadow! On the bright side, no reaction. But they definitely aren’t as intense as other cream eyeshadows like the Laura mercier or Bobbi brown sticks. It’s a pretty little wash of color for daytime, but I didn’t feel like I could reasonably build it up for nighttime 

[Sunnysmom]

Thanks for letting me know @Kim888 , I haven’t tried them on my eyes yet. They do make a pretty wash at least . Could we use them as a base under powder shadow maybe or are they too creamy? 🤔 

[Kim888]

@Sunnysmom Hmmm - I’m not sure they are too creamy, but they were a bit less smooth than I think I would want for an eyeshadow base. But I was really trying to build up the color so many less bad if I was just putting one layer 

[Sunnysmom]

Yup I get that @Kim888 . They have that balmy texture feel kind of. Prob best for just that quick swipe on kind of Saturday etc! I’m gonna give it a try too and see. Love the shades!

The new holiday beauty from Givenchy Intense Silk. This is the prettiest festive pinky red ever and so smooth. Love their version of matte more of a semi. Pigment and scent/ taste is same as all Givenchy. Case is adorable and slightly puffy. 🥰

Very pretty, @Sunnysmom ! 🥰

Thanks @Titian06 ,I usually like these but this one is extra pretty for some reason!

New Byredo liquid lip vinyl gloss in Scarlet River. These pack a punch. @WinglessOne did you pick any of these up yet? Know you were debating as well. 😊

[WinglessOne]

@Sunnysmom  I haven't ordered one yet; been trying to narrow a cart to just one shade this time, to be a "more responsible" lipstick hoarder. 🤣 Thanks for the swatch! Scarlet River's gorgeous. Byredo claims these aren't sticky. Do you agree? 

[Sunnysmom]

Goal @WinglessOne goals, same. lol. Mentioned on other thread also that it’s very smooth at first, almost gel- like and color sheers out vs how it first swatches so pigmented . I disagree sadly on sticky. It starts out smooth then it got sticky and stayed that way. Color lasted ok for one of these but a bit bummed about sticky. Why I’m better off with a diff kind of lippie I think. lol. Not as tricky as new Haus but different. The taste is also tricky. Not just floral or fruity but almost synthetic plasticy kind of? Hard to describe. Let me know thoughts if u try it . Taste sticks with you. Literally. lol. Think paying for packaging too of course. 🤔 

[Titian06]

Thanks for sharing, @Sunnysmom !  A definite turn off for me. 😝

[Sunnysmom]

🥴I’m so so sorry @Titian06 !

Great pics @itsfi ! How do you like Rosy Beige so far?

[itsfi]

Thank you @makeitup305! So far, so good. Rosy beige has been working as a 2-in-1 shade for me at the moment - makes for a quick blush and light bronzer in one. Great for those lazy days. 👍

[tsavorite]

Thank you for these  swatches, @itsfi !  These are inspiring!  The shades are lovely.

[itsfi]

Awww, happy to inspire @tsavorite! Thank YOU for your always kind and encouraging words! Appreciate them. Appreciate you! 

These blushes feel so silky and smooth! I'm not a big blush person but I could see myself picking up another one. At another date, of course. hahaha! 

[Titian06]

Wow, you got all of them, @itsfi ! 🥳  They look great on you! 🤩

[itsfi]

Oh @Titian06, I only got the one. I went to see the shades up close and swatched them; went with the rosy beige one. All of them? A girl can certainly dream ...
