Sunday Riley- Don't Read This
« on: February 05, 2012, 10:23:56 AM »
I think it was the Non-Blonde who "told" me about this line at Barneys.  The swatches of the blush and e/s had me at "Hello".  Made an order [ebates saved me like 3% ... big whoops but hey it helped push me over the precipice].  Here's what I ordered along with the body lotion for Byredo Gypsy Water... my favorite fragrance of all time.


Blush - Honeymoon Night

Prismasilk Eye Color - 104: Lady Godiva

Prismasilk Eye Color - 111: Fool's Gold

I'm going to be honest here...I not only read SueP's post, but I also checked out this new-to-me line on barneys.com.  I felt pretty safe in doing this, because I am immune to its price point.  I do like looking at the pretties, however, and would love to hear your thoughts when your order arrives.  For example, how do the products compare to your other makeup and what is the deal with spherical pigments, anyway?

Here is the link in case anyone else would like to "not look" at it. :evil:

Beautiful colors, SuePhilly! Hope your order arrives immediately, if not sooner. :grin:

The names, alone, are so evocative..."Honeymoon Night," "Gypsy Water".... how could anyone go wrong with colors and scents with these names?

SO intrigued with Gypsy Water's description: "A vagabond story in scent: bergamot, juniper, orris, amber, pepper and sandalwood nestled in pine needles." No wonder it's your all-time favorite.

[whispers] the e/s has arrived.  I haven't opened the boxes.  Will try them tomorrow a.m.

I am confident I will look like the siren I've always dreamed of.  Look out Angelina Jolie.
