I don't understand the thinking behind this palette, esp. at this time of year when fall colors are prevalent. This will NOT work with oxblood or forest green!!! In fact, I have a hard time seeing WHAT these will work with.Mamavalveeta03https://www.blogger.com/profile/17079883155916629361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-56890668957897322832012-11-12T16:10:02.487-05:002012-11-12T16:10:02.487-05:00CG, I'm in agreement with you and everyone els...CG, I'm in agreement with you and everyone else here: these colors are too "loud." Also, why did he include shades so similar in one palette? It would have been more workable if he had included much paler pinks, and perhaps a deep mauve so that the user could create flattering colors for their complexions.Avahttp://celinecrowne.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-60044879783639584182012-11-12T13:06:12.383-05:002012-11-12T13:06:12.383-05:00those colors remind me of Nicki Manaj lolthose colors remind me of Nicki Manaj lolAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-69839084780069169072012-11-12T09:01:01.078-05:002012-11-12T09:01:01.078-05:00I love pink lipsticks, but wasn't even curious...I love pink lipsticks, but wasn't even curious about this palette.

I'm on the cool side and shades like this are tricky for me. And they tend to look very 80s tacky on olive toned or darker skin. They lack any kind of dimension that would make them more interesting and less "in your face".morelikespacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14579614920085665069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-35260569222138797532012-11-11T14:27:03.087-05:002012-11-11T14:27:03.087-05:00The colors look like bubble gum.
