So my samples came today. I love, love the foundation. I, amazingly, picked the right color for me on the first go, confirming what I suspected - I'm a neutral skin tone. Neither cool nor warm.

The blush is beautiful, plus they sent me 3 extra samples - so I have several colors to try, but I loved the first one I tried, and that'll probably be what I get full-size.

The powder I chose a little too light and too cool. They've got a darker neutral that might work. To be honest, the foundation and blush looked so perfect, I think even the right powder might detract.

I still look awful in blue eyeshadow. It was a bit of a whim. Not excited about their eye shadow at all, but that might be that I didn't have brushes small enough to apply it, and it's not as easy to a apply powder by hand as it is a solid (a bunch ended up on my cheek and I had to start all over). I'll have to try it with a brush (maybe one of my paintbrushes) before I write it off. I loved their eyeliner, though. I did use one of my paintbrushes for that, and used it wet, and wow - pop! Much easier than using a pencil, and the shiny blue-black does a lot more for me than the standard flat black I've used in the past.

Wish the lipgloss was lipstick. It'd be the perfect color. But it is extra shiny, soft, and lasts ages - even after drinking.

All in all I'm going to probably look to buy the Charmeuse foundation, Dahlia blush, and Nuit eyeliner, along with a Toast powder sample. Maybe some more eyeshadow samples to see if I can find anything better than my standard white. I might buy the gloss, but.. enh. I have lipgloss coming out my ears. What I need is lipstick, preferably the same color as my nail polish.

Speaking of, Shawn painted my toes the other day. He's so cool.
