- Forget-Me-Not - medium lilac cream
I am on the fence with the rose scented nail polishes, I love the scent of roses but scented nail polish reminds me of a polish formula that I would have loved in middle school. I am willing to bet that either the polish is so scented that it gets in the way of other fragrances or it is so weak that you can only smell it when you put your hand right up to your nose. And how often do we have time to do that during the day? Nice concept but it wouldn't make me buy the polishes unless I liked the shades to begin with.
I don't need to restate that my face piece of the collection is the Garden Clutch palette, it is a rare combination of both great packaing and lovely shades for lips and eyes. This is one of the few makeup palettes that is lovely enough to set on my dresser to display. I love the Garden Roses eye palette, the pinks and lilacs will be perfect for the spring season. I can skip the other palette since I don't wear greens all that much. The blush is another top choice of mine, I want to try this one out at the counter and I hope that it turns the perfect rose shade on me. I had wanted the Rouge Dior in Pisanelle Pink a few months ago but never got around to purchasing it, perhaps this would be a good time to follow up on this shade.
I love these collections witth all the pinks in them, however they are best for pale cool skintones and they are slightly polarizing since not everyone can wear these shades very well.
