@@lovepink I've had my eye on that Tributes collection for awhile! I'd love to hear what you think of the colors.

Will do!  If I can feed myself soon, I plan on swatching while I still have good sun!  Then I am off to the gym so I will try and post them!  In person the colors stike me as bold and lots of warm fall, earth toned colors so just in time for the season change! Can't wait to swatch!

 
The NM VC overstock and DC clearance shades go on sale at 10am Eastern tomorrow, aka 7am Pacific!  Also the Geek Chic Reckoning starts tomorrow!  I just ordered Clone Club and samples of the Go Boldly collection as well as Riddle Me This.  I wanted to get samples of everything they're DC'ing, but I finally talked myself down on that, mainly because of the NM culling.  There are a bunch of things on that DC list that I want to get, and since it's a choice between GCC and NM, well, I'm not going local this time around.  But I did need to get Clone Club before it went *poof*, so I padded my order with some soon-to-be-gone stuff as long as samples were still available.  I feel only slightly guilty about this.

I'm begging you for swatches because I may get a few samples and I have NO idea what to get.

 
Ok here are the swatches of the first 6 from the Tribute collection from Shiro @@CurlyTails @

These were taken outside with my iphone 5 camera.  I am not a photographer and rarely post swatches so be gentle!  I am putting a lot in as I am not sure what views are most helpful.

photo 1-93.JPGphoto 2-87.JPGphoto 3-48.JPGphoto 4-33.JPGphoto 5-24.JPGphoto 1-94.JPGphoto 2-88.JPGphoto 4-35.JPG

Swatches are from my elbow to wrist as follows:
1 Baker's Boy
2 Beyond the fence
3 Cornucopia
4 Ever in your Favor
5 Girl on Fire
6 Huntress

First impressions if you do not like glitter do not buy! These things rain glitter! I used one swipe on no primer. The most beautiful color (to me) from this group is Huntress, Baker's Boy and Ever in your favor. Girl on Fire looks like it will stain, Cornucopia is pretty and beyond the fence is more muted? Guess I suck at descriptions too! Note black blobby thinkg near wrist is my tattoo, not a swatch.  It is my doggie's paw :)

Ok the other 6 of the Tribute collections from Shiro.

photo 3-49.JPGphoto 4-34.JPGphoto 5-25.JPGphoto 1-95.JPGphoto 2-89.JPGphoto 3-50.JPG

These are from elbow to wrist:
1 Mockingjay
2 Rebellion
3 Remake
4 Star Crossed
5 Unforgettable
6 Wildflowers (between my 2 tattoos, hard to see)

I like this group better. All the colors are beautiful. Rebellion is like a dark navy, mockingjay a bronzy copper ish rose color, remake is like burnt gold, Star crossed is a bronzy brown, taupe ish color, unforgettable maroonish red and wild flowers pinkish frost.

I don't wear foundation so I can't give my skin tone in foundation colors so hope the pics help!

@@lovepink That second group looks perfect for fall! I have been considering getting Girl on Fire (because I really like orange colors and have been thinking about getting a full-size shadow because I want the decorative sticker), but I didn't realize it was so red. Huntress looks really pretty!

 
@lovepink. Thanks for the swatches! I really like the colors (especially the second set). This will be my next indie purchase!

Sooooo gorgeous!

And I'm not sure if this is just on my computer, but it looks like the pics flipped in both color sets so one should look at the colors from right to left instead of L-R.

I keep wavering on whether I want to order these... I love them, and the Hunger Games connection, but I have dupes or close dupes for most of these shades, and I can't order just a few!  I would need them ALL!   :laughing:

Here's what I'm thinking:  Skip them now.  Halloween collections (have we covered the fact that Darling Girl is going to have a Ghostbusters collection this year?  This is one of the few comedies I own and watch over and over, and I may still go see it in a theatre this weekend just to relive being twelve years old) are going to start coming out Real Soon Now.  Grab those.  Put the Tributes (and any other HG collections from any other company) on your Secret Santa wishlist and see what Santa does.  Problem solved!

 
@@meaganola I received a sample of The Tragic Death of Mr. Stay Puft (from the Ghostbusters collection) with my Darling Girl order! I've never watched the Ghostbusters movie (sad, I know), but I used to watch the cartoon series.

I have a feeling that the Halloween collections from Aromaleigh (based on Dante's Inferno), Shiro (should be based on The Nightmare Before Christmas), and maybe i+ta (if she does one) are going to be sending strong attractant signals my way when they're released.

I have to confess that the Nana collection didn't really thrill me.  I think I just have so many similar colors that I just kind of shrugged.  They're gorgeous, but I just didn't reach for them, and then I finally just put them in my i+ta storage case so I wouldn't lose them since I wasn't using them.  (It didn't help that I received Rose City right around that same time!  *Everything* got shoved aside for that one.  RCTID!)

ETA MY POINT!  BECAUSE I HAD ONE!  September slots go up on Monday!  I'm super antsy to see what the next round brings.  I'm hoping for an extreme departure from the pinks and purples that seem to be the basis of most of the i+ta sub collections lately, just to see what else Linda can do!  I would love to see another morpher shadow like the one that was sent out with the Vanishing Cabinet -- the one that looked like a meh pinky-beige with a little bit of sparkle but blended out to a gorgeous shimmery pinky-purple.

But I don't care about the colors. ;) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I wanted it purely for nostalgia reasons. I still bawl my eyes out when I think about where NANA got put on hold, and there is virtually no merchandise being made for the series any more, so just to have this as a collector means the world!

Yeah it doesn't help I was taking the pictures all differen ways to catch the light.  It was taking forever to get the photos to my computer from my phone then posting them.  I was also too lazy to do the writing on pictures.

My right arm the one with the 2 tattoos (as opposed to one) has the second half of the collection starting with Mockingjay ending with Wildflowers.  I just swatched them in Alpha order as they were on the Shiro site.  Same on my left Baker's boy at elbow ending on Ever in your favor.  

Then I tried to be fancy and do both arms at once but I am home alone and my dogs are not big helps in the photo department lol.

I think tomorrow I am going to swatch the Seven Kingdoms collection just so I can have glittery arms.  I quite enjoyed it today!

I have never read or watched NANA (but definitely remember when it was popular), and whoa! I thought it was completed - I didn't know it was put on hiatus. D. gray-man has gone through a bunch of hiatuses so I didn't want to read the manga and be left hanging if it wasn't completed (even though I watched the anime).

But on the topic of anime/manga nostalgia-feels... I was actually surprised Geek Chic did a collection on Revolutionary Girl Utena considering that, although it's a classic, it is a bit out-of-date. Also... I found out that Baroque Cosmetics is planning a Kingdom Hearts collection (supposed to be released in December) - and I'm super excited for it!
