February 2nd, 2011 at 11:18 amOMG. I used to work for Lancome a while back and I loved it! I really like the new collection that they have. Purple is my favorite color! The whole collection is the bomb! Do it up, Lancome!!!
Karen says
February 2nd, 2011 at 11:21 amHi Mignon,
Ah, it’s so great to see that kind of enthusiasm? Want to know something really cool? The lipglosses have a lavender scent!

February 2nd, 2011 at 11:20 amThat French Touch lipstick will be mine!!
That last photo with Prince made me laugh out loud, brilliant! 😀 Which reminds me I’ve been meaning to watch Purple Rain for months now and listen to more Prince stuff than the only 2 songs I know..
Karen says
February 2nd, 2011 at 11:21 amOh gosh! I remember watching that movie at a sleepover when I was eight. I have no idea what my friend’s mom was thinking letting a bunch of elementary school girls watch that movie (she was known as the “cool” mom).
Advah says
February 2nd, 2011 at 12:00 pmHah, I’m pretty sure my crazy snake phobia comes from watching Labyrinth at my friend’s house when I was way too young to stare at DB wearing tight tights and throwing snakes at teenagers..
Is the film any good?? (random fact, the boy I was seeing over the summer once told me he got so blown away by When Doves Cry the first time he heard it, that he couldn’t sleep for hours after that hah)
Also, I thought of you this afternoon. Had to stop by the shop on my way home to get Nutella, I couldn’t get rid of the craving.

February 2nd, 2011 at 11:48 amPrince totally cracked me up. My coworkers probably think I’m nutso just laughing away at my computer. I will pretend a customer emailed in something funny.

February 2nd, 2011 at 12:00 pmUltra Lavande looks awesome. That’s the one on the far right of the first swatches, right? Yeah, that’s awesome. I’d wear that in a second.

February 2nd, 2011 at 3:05 pmHey Mela,
The potted shadows are less like creams and more like dense, semi-dry glitters. Are you looking for something along the lines of a MAC Paint Pot?
Tracy says
February 2nd, 2011 at 4:10 pmThat pic of Prince keeps popping up and I keep laughing my head off! hahahaha
That blush-omg-that blush. I have a blush problem.

February 2nd, 2011 at 7:54 pmThe Ombre Magnetique’s have a place right next to all my other beloved glitter like a disco ball shadows. 😉

February 4th, 2011 at 7:43 pmI was wondering if you might know or could take an educated guess now that you’ve done the swatching and playing…what color or colors is the model wearing on her lips in the promo pic? I thought it might be the Berry Rose or one of the lippies with one of the glosses on top but that was just my wild guess. What do you think?
LorraineER says
February 6th, 2011 at 12:14 pmI didn’t realize there were different images on the displays too, sorry!
I meant the original image that was released of the brunette with a silky lavender shirt with a bow at the neck.
