Good Morning loves!!
Today I have swatches of Color Club's Blossoming Collection for Spring 2012. This collection is made up of Six creamy shades and one "Shard- Like" glitter. I was pretty excited about this collection when I first saw promo shots but in person I was left a little underwhelmed. The colors are not ugly, they are pretty. But they are just that, pretty. There is nothing special or unique about these colors and that is kind of a bummer. Overall I was left with a feeling of overall "meh-ness".
To see close up swatches read on after the jump. I will go just go ahead and say this now. The formula on EVERY SINGLE ONE of these was just terrible. They were all either thin and streaky or thick and goopy and I will point out which ones were which as I go on with the post. I am not impressed with these at all just from that perspective because I expect more from Color Club's formula. These left much to be desired. I wore all of these as bases for glitters because I just couldn't handle how bland the color felt to me.
(Old camera pics so kinda off) This color is much more Turquoise in person. It is a lighter and cleaner version of For Audrey. Gotta get this off my chest..... ENOUGH WITH THE TURQUOISES!! OMG!!! How many versions of this shade do we freaking need? Terrible Three coat formula. Streaky and Gluggy. Sorry for the ding on my Index finger, I wore Blue-Ming under Jordana Sequins.**From here on it is new cam pics**
Color Club Blushing Rose
So this is super pretty and super girly and I love shades like these but I have many like this (that have much better formulas). This is a soft shade of Blue toned Pink. Very similar to O.P.I's Mod About You or Bettina Cotton Candy. This is the only color in the collection I actually enjoyed. The formula on this color is pretty bad. Streaky, thin.. Just wrong. I left it at Three coats because I was wearing under glitter. I wore Blushing Rose under Jordana Celestial.
Color Club Hydrangea Kiss
Dusty Periwinkle Blue creme.. Blah... Done... Bad streaky and think formula. Three coats... Yawn.....Color Club Sweetpea
Dusty Mauve creme with some slight Pinkish- Purple tones? This is a weird color and not in a good way, it feels tired. Formula is ok-ish. It is pretty runny but somehow it only took Two coats.Color Club Lavendarling
Not quite this vivid in person. Dusty Red toned, medium Purple creme. BOOOOORRIIIIIINGGG!!. That is all. Thin runny formula. Three coats....Color Club Diamond Drops
Weird Shard-like Holographic flakes in a clear base. The wordst thing to apply in the world loool... No, I'm sure there are worse, but this is pretty bad. These flake things also do not like to lay entirely flat so they snag on things all day long. I'm not a fan of this top coat. So yeah.. There you go.. I'm left underwhelmed by these and I hope their Summer collection is awesome!
I still love you Color Club...
