i don't know if anyone cares or even reads this anymore but i am switching livejournals.. it's etpapillons. i'll probably add you there but yeah.

large pictures behind the cut so beware :) a couple fotds from recent collections, so.. fun!

( my heart goes out to those affected by the bridge collapse in minneapolis! hope you're all okay. )

So, I don't really know how or why, but sitting next to the Flashtronic and Rushmetal displays when I walked into my counter in Belks today was In 3D.

I'm telling myself the gods are rewarding me for being patient and waiting the extra day, since when I went in to get Flashtronic and Rushmetal yesterday they weren't available because they hadn't yet done inventory! I got to see but I couldn't buy. :(

Anyway, I swatched ALL of the lipglass pencils and ALL of the 3D glasses. They're GORGEOUS. I have never been excited about a new collection of lip products.. these... are HOT.

I just want you to prepare yourselves.. it is ALL about RACY 3D GLASS. It is a beautiful ruby red with lots of shine and has a lot more of a color payoff than I expected. I have to go back and get it ASAP. :)

Because I was buying from the other 2 collections as well I only got three products from In 3D.. and unfortunately, the MA gave me a lipglass pencil that I didn't want instead of Rosebound.. Rosebound is GORGEOUS. Pinkish and light but shiny with gold reflects. Instead, she gave me Part Nude, which just isn't my style -- a bit too brown/dark -- but would still look great on the right skin tones / with the right combinations.

And I'll definitely try to go back later tonight, in the hopes that they haven't realized their mistake and taken down the display yet! :P I still want to exchange the lip glass pencil I didn't want.

( [VERY LARGE] Pictures!!! )

I was going to refrain from wiping off my hand so I could take a picture, and I knew something wasn't right with it being released yet, but I figured maybe I misunderstood what I'd read or something. Enjoy! :)
