Oh no @Ispend2much6 ! 😱That’s awful! I’ve had that before also. Such a worry I’m so sorry. Is that a silver lining a little maybe?! 

Don’t read on here much maybe so not as tempted. That’s what I sometimes have to do! 😕

[Ispend2much6]

@Sunnysmom   True; you can't want what you don't know about. 🙂

[Sunnysmom]

Ha so true @Ispend2much6 ! Except it usually backfires on me as I then am desperately looking for something I missed out on! Can’t win sometimes! 😖

@Sunnysmom I missed the Velvet Collection the first time around and had been planning to pick it up when it restocks.

I ordered the summer collection after I saw her video; I didn’t like the way any of them looked on her model photos but I liked the way they applied on her, as well as the swatches Temptalia posted the other day. Hoping they arrive this week, but mine are shipping from UK ☹️

[Sunnysmom]

Ugg that was ridic that first round!  I hope she has a ton more this time and no changes for formula either! I wasn’t sure I would like them either from her pics but they do feel nice. Not sure of longevity etc. She must’ve done Eva Green’s with a liner because it’s somewhat different and quite neon still. Tho pics always diff I realize. I hoped for more of a reddy pink. Will experiment. I was shocked to get mine already but came from US. I’m sure they will be very pretty on you! 

[Sunnysmom]

See above @Mochapj , forgot to tag! 😘

[Sunnysmom]

Think you may like any of the new ones @Ispend2much6 .  Or Velvet Jazz if not too deep. 

[Sunnysmom]

Having trouble attaching pic. Will try later

Got my paws on new Gucci lipsticks. I tried Satin formula only. They are very smooth , soft and shiny almost more like a glossy look with some more color. They are also very perfume scented though not like old formula scent. Comfy but I don’t think they will last long and I am seeing some bleeding into lip line and corners sadly. Colors are pretty tho unremarkable in my opinion. Case is heavy gold with detailing. Weight feels like new Kilian lips and Bond No 9. I didn’t get pretty floral case because the formula is supposedly very sheer and didn’t think was worth the money. Also 2 of these came w scratches and 1 was heavily damaged. Saks is replacing thankfully but that was disappointing to see! Louisa is my fav color - pretty bright pinky red, Love Before Breakfast is very bright pink fuchsia, Goldie red is neutral warm red color in editorials and Ivy Dark Red is fun deep red w purple. Just my thoughts 🤷🏻‍♀️Lol. Pretty but not necessary except to collect maybe?! Anyone else try these? Love to see sheer and balm formulas if so! @blackkitty2014 , @TraceyEB , @Ispend2much6, @Mochapj etc! Top to bottom: Louisa, Love Before Breakfast, Goldie Red, Ivy Dark Red

Beautiful bright shades @Sunnysmom - they look creamy and comfortable ❤️

[Sunnysmom]

They are creamy @2manyperfumes and feel good. Just wish they lasted longer. I want to see a more semi matte formula. Lots of shades my goodness. Lol 

[2manyperfumes]

Semi mattes are hard to find @Sunnysmom agree.  I like the Huda Demi-matte liquid lips and the MAC amplified and Satin creme formula for consistency.  NYX ultra suede isn’t bad either.  Bite has some formulas too that are a good semi-matte consistency.  I tried some of the Fenty and it was hit and miss with certain shades.  

[Sunnysmom]

Thank you @2manyperfumes for good ideas. I like some of those too. I’m somewhere between a drier satin creamy matte girl. Lol. 

[RebeccaBT]

@Sunnysmom Beautiful! Love these colors!

Best,

Rebecca

[Sunnysmom]

Me too @RebeccaBT fun newness and packaging. I hear there are more new products coming down the pike soon also!

[curlychiquita]

The colors are really pretty, @Sunnysmom! I'm sorry the arrived damaged. I was disappointed with the packaging of my last Bergdorf beauty order, too. All stores are going way too cheap with their shipping.

[Sunnysmom]

Oh nice @curlychiquita , I haven’t tried those. What do you think of em? I would expect more of BG! Ugg. 

[Sunnysmom]

Ugh @curlychiquita you too?! 😞 I’m so sorry. They just chuck em in a box and off they go!! Zero padding. What did you get from BG?! Such a great store I’m jealous!!

[curlychiquita]

@Sunnysmom, I got my Tom Ford Glow Up cushion compact there because Sephora doesn't carry it yet.  Hopefully Sephora will pick up the line so that I can get my refill here.  But, yeah, BG just sort of threw it in a large box.

@Sunnysmom 

THANKS SO MUCH! I have been searching all over for some more information on these. I am Happy(?!) or sad t hear that they are not an absolutely need purchase 😞

Too bad because they are so pretty!

[Sunnysmom]

Ah well @ChristalM give em a try and see what u think for yourself maybe too!? I’m just not a person who likes a too satiny formula if it may bleed or not last too long but it does feel nice on and maybe you would love em for summer etc. lol. I’m fussy. Like matte but not too , so maybe just satin matte?! So many shades to choose from it was tricky! I’m going to go into my store and see if they have and I’ll search all of em if they have em. Have both Saks and Gucci in mall. Insane. Lol. Let me know what shades you may like if so otherwise I’ll just do em all! 🙂
