I ended up getting a few things but not the whole collection (Yay!...for my wallet.) :)

5N lipstick - This is a very unique shade. I don't know how to describe it but on me it looked a bit like Double shot l/s but deeper....almost beige-plum-taupe. It gives me a nice, very unique, nude look.

4N lipglass - This looked beautiful when I first applied it. It looked like a mauvey bronze shade but the bronze kind of disappeared on me after a while and I was left with a plum-mauve toned lip. Similiar to the look I get with Lovechild lipglass and I already have that so I returned it.

Modest Tone e/s - I love this! I've been looking for an e/s like this forever. It's the perfect skin tone shade and wonderful to even out the eyelid area. I've tried finding an e/s that I could wear on my entire lid area to even out the tone on those "no e/s" days and this is it. Other e/s I've tried either are too yellow or too white and this is the perfect beige "foundation for the eyelids" shade. This would work great as a base shade with every color under the sun.

Remotely Grey e/s - I really like this. At first I was debating because it can be compared to French Grey, which I already have. I tried this on and love that it goes on lighter and has less purple in it than French Grey. It's a nice taupe and great for a less dramatic smokey eye.

Demi-Blanc n/p - I was hoping this would be exactly as the site decription states "gold beige with green pearl" but it's more of a fushia pearl that I see so I took it back.

Melba blush - This was an impulse buy and I'm so happy with it. When I went to go return the lipglass and n/p, I saw a display of the blush palette behind the cashier with six blushes in it. I asked her what the peachy blush one was and she said it was Melba. I had seen the tester before and always debated getting it since it seemed too coral. She said it was one of their most popular shades and so I just decided to take a chance with it. It's EXTREMELY pigmented and I have to be super duperly careful when I apply it. If this was a sheertone, this would be the most perfect blush but I still love it. It has more peach than Pinch Me and less orangy than Peaches. I'm so glad I got it and I know it's going to last me for ages....probably pass it on to my grandkids :p since you need very little of it.
