[kazablanca]

I heard that Armani in Oz is slightly exp! Here it's HKD160 so around AUD28?

I think Armani is cheapest in HK by far, compared to Australia, Paris and the US that is.

About the same in HK. I think because there's not much sales? But then when it's located in the airport, what kind of sales did it expect? :piss:

Your Personal Shopper *wink wink* has asked the SA who told her that it will be available in early Dec! Ask her to get it for you as well as the lip shimmer lar!

[babyflite]

ah i see my personal shopper has been hard at work.

so which lip shimmer do you recommand besides #1?

[kazablanca]

Of course I love them all! But esp. #2 as it's so wearable for a light makeup day look. Sometimes I'll wear #6 but as it's too red the SA recommended me to mix it with #1! I remember the SA told me that the model on the Lip shimmer ad actually uses #1 and #8 instead of only #8!

Since I've taken Roaccutane, my lips are dead dry and I have not wore lippie for half a year! I can only wear GA Lip Shimmer or KP lipgloss which are both moisturizing enough! That's why I keep buying! hehehe

I was 90% sure I'll not buy the palette but after reading 3 pages of this I want it again... *simpers* Help...

Girls! I just found this whole list of descriptions of GA e/s and blushes amidst all the junk in my computer. I believed I copied and saved this info from a kind MUA-er on the MUA boards last year. Not sure who she was though but it's quite detailed.

Shall share it out here, it might be helpful for us to refer to shades.

Armani E/s
1: dark smoky blue, like the color of a pair of jeans but darker
2: jade green shade with tiny slight shimmer, but not sparkley
3: shimmery lavender grey/brown
4: matte black
5:
6: a dusty light rose that looks beige at first glance but then you notice it is rosey
7: wonderful matte taupe (described to me as a "brown suede jacket" shade, which is a perfect description)
8: a pretty basic yellowish-beige
9: peachy-champagne shimmer
10: Rich, matte chocolate brown w/plummy undertones & gold flecks
11: shimmery medium taupe brown
12: VERY light, almost sheer silver that actually looks like a warm color..I think this is the "mystery color" because depending on how I hold the card, it appears silver, or shimmery light pink-beige
13: a medium smoky lavender, heavy on the gray.
14: neutral lime green,; in your Armani booklet, it is featured on model with red lips & green shadow.
15: ultra-transparent silvery baby blue, almost invisible color
16: sheer white
17: VERY similar to #14, only more gray. a very grayish lime, too similar overall (due to the green) to #14 to justify both, in my mind
18: looks like CG shade called "buttercream". A yellow creme color like you see in baby's clothes.
19: peachy golden tan, pale pumpkin
20:
21: basic dark charcoal gray, same depth as their black shadow; if I look at the card from a distance they look the same
22:
23:
24: your basic sky blue, again like the blue color you see in baby clothes
25: light pale shimmery blue
26: taupy color with a touch of gray
27: purple/lavender
28:
29:
30:
31: pale green/grey

Armani Blush:
1: pale pink (paler and brighter than Stila Tutu, brighter also than Cargo Catalina but similar to both those colors) that has tiny tiny microsparkles that don't translate to sparkles on the face but lend a glowy effect
2:peachy-under-roomlight-pinkish-rose-under-sunlight color with small goldish shimmers
deeper warmer pink that registers on me as a sort of windblown/sunburn effect,
3:
4:shimmery brown pink.
5:match to Becca turkish rose
6:
7:
8:

Hope this helps someone!
