My main criticism is things get teased and then never make it to market. How long have we been waiting for the brow pencil that was pulled a couple of days before release? And the blushes were supposed to be rereleased months ago.
I wonder what is going on behind the scenes for this to be happening. Lisa has a lot of goodwill but making promises she can’t keep will only be put up with for so long. I know there were some changes on Companies House and new companies being involved (but all related to her such as Leb Holdings Limited, Betty and Friends). But a lot of the info on companies house goes over my head so it might not even mean anything significant!

I lost self control and ordered the 3 that were used on me at the pop-up (1, 3 & 5) plus the brush. I will use powder, although the MUA didn't, and this will matte it down a bit. I'm very self conscious about how long it takes for red marks to go away from even the smallest breakout, more so than my actual undereye circles because as I said, my glasses mostly hide those. I got flustered and forgot to use my points to get a discount and had to quickly cancel and re-order :oops: Lisa's CS is always excellent and they were very understanding and kind.

Sometimes the email to emeralds has had the yotube video embedded in it so you aren't buying blind. The velatura or whatever they are called balms had the video so you could see begore you buy. I don't think I've received an email though and I've bought it already so 🤷 😅
Haha me too!

I’m still patiently waiting for these blushes.

worried now that if she ever did release them they will be very warm toned/orange.
I think she is bringing back (at least some of) the original shades ... I think I saw in a reply to a comment on Insta that Pink Soap will be coming back. I LOVED Dante's Dream, had it decanted into a tiny pot after the tube burst and used every particle. I'm also longing for a creamy concealer ... I'm eyeing up the new Charlotte Tilbury one.

The new products are showing online - but not available to buy yet.

I like the look of the shade Rose Madder and Hellebore Heaven .
Ohh thank you! I LOVE the look of Rose Madder too! Not that I need another blush....but have been waiting so long for Lisa's ones that I'm sure I'll find a way to justify a purchase to myself 🤣

I have both and they are pretty much the same for me. Both as creamy and soft as each other. If anything i think LE ones blend a bit better as VB ones tend to fade when I blend them and have to reapply, but that could be as I have dark shades in LE and medium ones in VB. Neither smudges through the day or travels so I'm happy with either.

I used to only use Urban Decay ones and both LE and VB match them.
I would tend to agree with you.

My only comment would be I hate the smudger in the VB liners, it lifts so much product. If you blend with a brush the pigment is more concentrated.

There's a wider shade range in VB, which might be worth considering, depending on your personal preference and style.

Hildun and Zoeva are both decent, less spenny options, but the longevity isn't as good as either VB or LE IMHO.

I'm not sure how necessary a corrector would be for everyone, depending on your area of concern - obviously sales people are usually advised to upsell wherever there's scope for it. I'm in my mid 60s, struggle with poor sleep, very fair quite translucent skin so I have this thing going on where directly underneath my eye is very pale then along the lower orbital bone there's deep bluey black shadow - it's that blueness which particularly benefited from being neutralised with the peach corrector. For generalised redness/uneven skin tone around the nose/"muzzle" area it wasn't needed.

I have been on Tattle for a few years now but Today learned there is a Lisa thread! I love Lisa's work and own a lot of her stuff. Far too many lipsticks which I'm trying to sell off on FB... but I'm tempted by the pink lipstick. I have Medici in the refillable for winter, and wanted Audrey to work on me but it REALLY doesn't. A decent pink for summer would be nice. I wear Velveteen Rain which is lovely but a bit bright for every day.

I love all the shades ... I've gone for Cinnamon Bun first to see if the formula stays on my oily skin. Rose Madder next if it does ....

Ok I watched the video and OF COURSE I want it AND the brush! (I use her stubby face blending brush already and love it!) I use shades T6, T 6.5 and 7 in the tint according to how I’m feeling, they all work on me. I took the quiz and I think I’m shade 10 but going to sit down and really look at my bare face in daylight and work out which tint works best for me then do the quiz again.

I've just had the concealer delivered. I ordered shade 4, I am shade 4 in the skin tint and shade 3 in pinpoint concealer. I have the foundation in shade 6 but seldom use it nowadays. I've been searching for a concealer that suits me for a couple of years now and spent a fortune. I have both Chanel concealers and a Suqqu one. None of them compare to the Lisa Eldridge for me. I don't have bad under eye darkness but around my nose is always red and I have a lot of pigmentation along my jawline.

The LE just feels smoother and blends perfectly. On my pigmentation I used this and on a really dark sunspot and popped a bit of pinpoint on top. I am not massively red compared to people I have seen online but red enough for it to bother me. I haven't used a corrector, they still confuse me tbh.

I am impressed so far. I'll check later on and see if it still looks nice. I only have sunscreen and concealer with a bit of balm blusher on and I don't think I look like the walking dead.
Thanks for reporting back.
I’ve ordered shade 4 but I’m T3 in Skin Tint and 1 in Pinpoint so I’m hoping it’s not too dark. 😬
I do have dark circles under my eyes so hopefully there will be enough coverage because, if not, Chanel is my next try.

Which colours did you order?

Han Beauty and Charlotte Holdcroft have both put videos up.
Hannah has all the colours.

I think I made the right choice with Rose Madder. Mine hasn't been dispatched yet.
I have them all because I'm a magpie. I groan at myself

Guerlain came out with this idea many years ago and then they changed the packaging so old lipsticks and cases wouldn’t work with new lipsticks and cases. There’s a great Chloe Morello video where she learns about this in real time and she displays the absolute frustration and disappointment of the issue haha. So for me that would be a worry, if they have changed before they will likely change again. Also they are quite light and feel cheap even though they don’t look it. I remember on an old episode of Fat Mascara their guest said for us to become more environmentally sustainable with makeup we need to move past this idea that luxe = heavy but I’m sorry, I just can’t!

Also did anyone else see Lisa has stepped down from Lancôme as Global Creative Director. I did find her appointment a bit odd after awhile because she used to regularly appear on their social media, especially their YouTube channel and she would promote a lot of the products she made with them (that infamous highlighter flower) but for a good while she hasn’t visibly been associated with them so much so I asked her team if she still was a few years ago (curiosity gets the better of me again!) I also found it a shame they didn’t seem to update their main collections and Lisa worked (seemingly) on new ideas or limited editions. I’m still gutted they got rid of the Juicy Shakers because they were amazing! Mine still work and don’t smell off or have mould on. Justice for them!!
I have one of the old Guerlain refillable lipsticks and cases and hardly used it as the lipstick wasn’t fantastic, and the case was just too heavy.

It was my most-regretted makeup purchase for a while, because of how expensive it was and how little I used it.

Mines come and I've tried it. As I mentioned previously, I ordered 5 as a corrector and 6 as a concealer. It's incredibly lightweight; I can't feel it at all which I'm astounded by. The 5 for me covers most dark circles but not all, but mine are bad and perhaps I need another layer or a thicker application. Both the 5 and 6 work so well on me (I'm a 7 in the foundation). Some did settle in fine lines, but I buffed it out with a brush very easily.

The brush is excellent, however I would warn you it's not as dense as it looks. Now that works perfectly for me, and I think for the thinner skin under the eyes, but if you're looking for the denseness of a brush like her foundation brush, this isn't it.

As for the olive, I like it. The box is olive too, and the brush box is a deep aubergine colour. Like others I expected gold as that's been her brand but I'm not against it. Olive is a fashionable colour of late, so it makes sense she's wanting to change things up.

For those who have bought more than 1, the numbers are on the bottom so you'd have to remember which number is the corrector. And either I'm old, or the numbers are small. This is very picky of me, and the shades look different enough side by side to tell which is which. However, I thought it worth mentioning in case of anyone who is perhaps a little tired in the morning or those who are short/long sighted (I can never remember the difference).

Interestingly, in using this I have noticed bags under my eyes. Now I may have had them before and just not noticed, or it may be down to some weight I've lost in the last few months. I understand why it's luminous, however I will always mattify this product with powder when using it under my eyes as a result.

In short - for anyone on the fence, just do it. You won't be disappointed.
Mine came this afternoon and I've already decided to write the numbers on the side in magic marker because I'm longsighted, I do my makeup without my glasses on in a 10x magnifying mirror. And in the UK winter, esp under artificial lighting colours can look off.

I forgot to say, I was given this useful card at the pop-up which might interest other olives. I'm pale (2.5 foundation, 1.5 tint) but prefer Blush Lightly which the MUA chose for me on Sunday, to Enchantment which I do own but looks a bit in your face bright on me. Painterly is kind of MLBB, that I reach for when I want to look finished and not have dry feeling lips. Duchess is stunning but I have to be feeling really brave or wanting to make a certain impression. Epanoui (as in the Liberty ad with HBC) is pretty enough, I was given it as a freeby at another event but prob wouldn't have bought it, a bit shiny for my liking but more than that I find the taste really intrusive.
