Keep in mind, online retailers like Nordstrom, Macy’s, Dillard’s, and Bloomingdale’s will also launch the collection online. Love Goddess was just a bit hydrating for a few hours. Scarlet Ibis was neither drying nor hydrating. Pure Zen was slightly drying, which is typical of my experience with the Cremesheen finish. Shades like Charmed, I’m Sure and Deeply Adored tend to wear six hours or so, and they have a tendency to stain as well. I haven’t had the time yet to test all of these shades, but I plan to do so today and tomorrow and will update with wear times. They have a subtle sheen that wears away after an hour or so and results in a true matte finish. The matte shades in this launch are like the more recent matte launches–creamy, smooth, easy to apply, and opaque.
