Hi Christine! I’ll be reviewing it bit by bit over the next few days. I am wearing Brew lipstick and Illicit gloss today and it’s true love, I tell ya. (Oh, and Emote blush, too.) Can’t wait to bust into the shadows!
Pigments are magical…. And you need Vanilla, Golden Olive, Blue Brown. Crucial to your survival is Gold Mode or Jardin Aires. Also Subtle or Sunnydaze and Mauvement. I am not saying that I have all of these pigments, I do not want to be judged!! LOL!!
y’all are something else! i’m glad i’m not addicted to pigments. i’m satisfied with being addicted to everything else, lol. karen, how does brew and illicit compare to viva glam 5 and its gloss? i tried on illicit alone, but felt my VG5 was too similar and better. when you do your fotd, can you get some good shots showing off emote? =) i tried it on (without my face being made up) and i felt bruised. i have some natural contouring color/pigmentation in that area of my cheek anyway… but i really want to like it because its such a different color in their collection… see how MAC has me addicted??? i figured i’d have to go back for an appt or with some foundation etc on… =/ ehhh
So, I got a sample of pigment from the SF Fashion Week goodie bag, and since I still have my training wheels on, I’m not sure what I use it for? I’m guessing it’s a loose powder shadow. Yes? My sample was Gold Mode and haven’t done any experimenting yet. I’m thinking of doing experimenting with a brown look and maybe a lighter pink look. Or would that be disastrous? Any color pairings I absolutely have to try?

Gorgeous, aren’t they?
I am so sad that I really cannot pull off the vampy lip look. I tried Burnin’ lipstick + Bizaarish lipglass… Ohh, not the way to go for me.
Let us know what you think of the collection!

OH, and the vampy lip look … you can TOTALLY ROCK THAT! are you kidding?!?!
That Burnin’ totally reminds me of the 90s and my days of Paramount Lipstick. *sigh*

How are you enjoying the pigments? I got a sample of Smoke Signals. it looks great sprinkled on (a little Coppercast) BlackGround paint pot… Lovely!!!
Karen says
I LOVE THEM, Apple Diva! I think I will go out this weekend so I will to do a face of the night look for an upcoming post =)
I know you’ve been trying to get me addicted to the piggies for awhile. You’re like my pusher!
Christine says
Careful, Karen, I’m a pigment addict, you’ll see me pushing them your way too 😉 We’ll have you outnumbered and cornered!
Karen says
So far I have Reflex Pearl on my list. Oh and Cocomotion! And old gold! I can already see where this is going …
