Word of Warning: This is a picture loaded post.I cannot tell you how excited I was to see the Sephora+Pantone Universe collection at my Sephora Inside JC Penney. One of the lovely ladies convinced me to let her apply the items on me because I was a little afraid of the color. I LOVE what she did, although I think she got a little happy with the blush, lol. I was pleasantly surprised when she showed me the results; even my mother liked it. Heck, even my stepdad liked it. So I picked it up and took some pictures when I got home. I don't have any swatches just yet, but I did snap a few pictures of what my makeup looked like when I left Sephora. The set is very nice and at $68, it is really a good value considering what you are getting. I love the packaging of the individual items. Everything but the lip gloss, eyeliner and Prisma Chrome Blush is magnetic. Everything is really sturdy and well made. I will go ahead and tell you that the lipstick and gloss have a scent. However, it is not a disgusting synthetic or play-doh like scent. It actually smells really good and vanishes as soon as you apply it. The lipstick is long lasting but is a tad bit drying and the gloss has a nice consistency from what I can tell so far. Everything has great staying power and pigment. I am also including picture I took about 10 min ago to show you how well it stays on. About five hours has elapsed since the makeup was applied.
