For whatever reason, there are about six collections out right now. I'm usually not into collections. (Honestly, the last one I remember purchasing multiple items from is To the Beach, this summer.) This one was an exception. After admiring preview posts the entire month of December, I knew I wanted Feline and Dangerous Cuvee, I picked those up the day of release. After reading more reviews, I picked up Chilled on Ice, and after hard searching for the high demand/always sold out 'I get no Kick' (where did that name come from...?) I finally picked it up, too.
Chilled on Ice (Paint Pot)
Swatches were gorgeous, and me being a paint pot lover, I decided to pick this up (not an original "want".) The best way to describe this is Bare Study with gold shimmer. I have liked wearing this all over the lid with Bronze Eyeshadow in the crease. It's also good for an under-brow highlight.
Good, but if you have Bare Study and you aren't a shimmer/glitter lover, you probably should skip it.
Dangerous Cuvee (Paint Pot)
This was the main thing I knew I wanted from the beginning. I don't understand why there's not a gray paint pot in the permanent line, anyway. I have been reaching for this at least every other day. It's a must have if you're a smokey-eye lover. Even if you're not into shimmer, you can put a matte eyeshadow over it, it makes a great base.
Great, worth a buy.
Feline (Kohl Power Eye Pencil)
Reviews raved about how this such a great pencil, the blackest black, great staying power. Etc. The first time I used it, I was impressed. The second time, felt/looked like a normal liner. The third time, my eyes starting hurting. The fourth time, the eyeliner completely smeared, by mid-day, I looked like a sweaty mess (a gothic girl, or someone who wears dark smokey eyes to the gym.) Not only that, but my eyes were just burning. Then I realized I never even checked to make sure it's waterline safe, I never found a straight forward answer, so that could have been my problem.
For this to be so talked about and people say they pick up three or four when it is released again, I was majorly disappointed. I already swapped this for another paint pot on makeupalley.com (go figure. lol.)
Disappointment. For a better black eyeliner... I would recommend: MAC Technakohl in Graph Black (Twist-up Pencil), MAC Fluidline in Blacktrack (Gel), Make Up For Ever Aqua Eyes in 0L (Pencil), or Urban Decay 24/7 Liner in Zero (Pencil.)
I Get no Kick (Eye Kohl)
I really want to know what type of name this/where it came from. Even the Sales Assistant was confused by the name. lol. I went to three counters for this, it's always sold out online, I was tempted to ask someone make a customer purchase for me, but a counter finally restocked.
I used to be a huge fan of white eyeliner (inner corner and waterline) then looking back at pictures, I realized it was way to harsh, I needed a nude color... so I picked this up. I like it, staying power isn't that great. By early afternoon, I noticed major fading. It does open up your eyes.
Okay. Other people have recommended Make Up for Ever Aqua Eyes in 23L and Stila Kajal Eyeliner in Topez (I don't own either, so I can't say which is better.) for better staying power.
Overall, Feline & I Get no Kick are way too hyped up. Dangerous Cuvee is the only thing absolutely a must-have/worth the buy, in my opinion.
A lot of people have been raving about the lip products, specifically the Lip Gelees. (I can't step away from my chapstick and Viva Glam V) If you're into lip products, they may be worth it.
