LUSH Emotional Brilliance Colours

2012-09-06T17:12:00.000-05:00

So today, I stopped by LUSH after a long afternoon of trolling Northpark with my BFF. We were playing the game entitled, "Look. Don't Buy." Clearly, I lost. One look at the new (new to me as I hadn't played with them yet) LUSH Emotional Brilliance Colours and I broke down and bought thus losing the game. I call it a wash though because these gorgeous colours are a total WIN in my book.

Now, for me, the whole concept of "Emotional Brilliance" is sort of lame. If the product is stellar, I don't need some marketing ploy to tell me I'm a decisive controlling passionate strong wagonburner. I know this, mayne! However, the little color-reading game was fun if not a goofy waste of precious makeup swatching time. I will also add that the set-up and/or sales pitch at the store was far less informing that the website. I felt overwhelmed when swatching at the store because the colours were displayed very cutely, but sort of chaotically as in the eye products were mixed in with the face products.

Part of the display.

I picked up two: Passionate and Decisive. Duh. It's almost fall (despite today's 104 degree temps here in Dallas); and I've been on a bright lip kick.

Behold...

I die at the gorgeous. ::dead::

Swatchity Swatch...

From L-R: Passionate, Independent, Decisive
