Today I got three custom made lipglosses from Pink Quartz in the mail. I couldn't resist ordering when I saw that you could choose both color, taste AND name on the label for only $4 a piece. I named these after my username, due to bad imagination :) The color is very subtle, almost transparent and they feel very moisturizing on the lips. I like to know that they are very fresh and custom made just for me! :D
I also got my not yet released Lumiere blush in the mail today. This is called "Be Mine" but it has nothing to do with the Valentines day collection with the same name - read more about this misunderstanding in this post. It is so pretty. I think it might bee released as a part of the "Happy Hour Collection" that I read about today in the Lumiere Addicts forum. If the rest of the collection is this good I will be poor! ;)
That is so cool about the lip balm!
The blush looks a lot like I Love You blush. Is it different since you have both? Is it shimmery like I Love You? I really like I Love You blush but it is quite shimmery.

They are different. I Love You is much lighter and more glittery. Be
Mine is deeper pink/wine and has a silky satin finish without the
sparkles. Both a beautiful and they are different enough to justify
getting both. ;) Here is a swatch:

The swatch link in the last post went crazy - here is a new one :)

They do look different! Yep, I don't see all the sparkle in the Be Mine blush and it's a warmer tone too. Thank you for the swatches!

Neat lipbalm ideas! My girls would love their own w/their name on it........what shades did you choose? Thanks for the blush info too, it looks very pretty!
Posted by: Ruby2 | 12 March 2008 at 22:09
I choose Elvenwood, Rose Gold and Eros, but the glosses are very sheer. If I would order again I would choose brighter colors. I'm sure your girls would love 'em! :)

I've stumbled upon Pink Quartz and almost purchased hteir lippies. It's cool to finally see someone review about these. I wasn't "sure" of Etsy...have you purchased thru other brands on Etsy too? I might have to give them a try now. Thanks!
Ooooh, the Lumiere Be Mine blush is very pretty! Like LadyTee mentioned, it definitely looks warmer than I Love You and has way less sparkle, if any at all.

Thank you for the tip on sheerness. Where did you choose the colors from? That big square w/all the colors in it? I found it very hard to read w/the font on there. How was shipping time?

I have only only ordered jewelery from Etzy before, but I have only good experiences. There are a lot of mmu interesting mmu retailers there, I might have to try some more of them out too... :)

Yes, I did choose from that square, but I think you can mail the seller
and describe what color you like instead. It was quite hard to guess
how the pigments would look as a gloss.
The time to create and ship these glosses (to Sweden) was 9 days, which is really good IMO. :)

Thank you again! That is very quick TAT, I am impressed!
Posted by: Ruby2 | 12 March 2008 at 23:26
Be Mine looks great! I will make sure to order a sample of it when it comes out!
