I have been away in La Jolla all week and came back to see my Dreamworld order.  My order took quite a while but i am glad i waited.  Ellie is also super nice to deal with. 

I ordered toppings in the clay/silica version:

1)  FS of cafe au lait topping
2)  peach topping
3)  raspberry topping
4)  cocoa creme topping
5) angel creme

then whipped creme and whipped strawberry

I think I made a mistake in getting the FS of cafe au lait (i blindly bought based on Xarata's raves but we don't have the same skin tone, she is more yellow than i am).  I find the cafe au lait makes me look muddy but i like using it so far as a contouring color.  The strawberry creme does have yellow undertones which also makes me look kinda ill so far.  peach topping was ok but i need to test it out a little more.  i think i am definitely a more cool toned gal even though the undertones and overtones thing puzzles me. 

whipped creme is super nice, way better than SN sheer perfecting powder and i definitely want a FS of it.  whipped creme really does blur imperfections and makes me look quite translucent.  i am going to try raspberry creme tommorrow.  Ellie forgot to include cocoa creme so i contacted her and told her to hold on to it for my next order.   sorry i didn't take a picture of the powders, but i do think you really do need to sample these.  DW samples are a dollar and Ellie gives a generous portion.   i also placed an order for a FS of SN date bait because i don't think any of DW finishing powders are the same as date bait and i love that stuff even though you definitely use more than with DW's.

Hades, underworld

I also ordered eyeshadows in hades fire and underworld.  i decided to try hades fire which is described as aqua marine blue because of Aileen's post about the blues being forgotten for the greens :) .  I love hades fire!  It's a great blue with tones of green and shimmer but it's very wearable.  i would totally wear this to work (law office). 

I also forced myself to buy a brown color as i tend to shy away from brown as i prefer black anyday.  i really glad i tried underworld, it's a real brown, not blackened brown, and is really intense and beautiful. 

DW eye shadows do not have to be foiled!  I applied it straight and it's very creamy and spreadable.  I apologize for the poor lighting for the swatches, we had no sunshine today. I recently received  my first She Space order (post coming soon), and have to say DW is better than TSS, which impressed me very much.  the eye shadows are also better than Cory too.  I love it. and thanks to Xuan, I discover i do have a macro setting on my camera and can take close ups now :)

Eyes

I will probably be placing another order soon for a FS of whipped creme unless raspberry or angel topping impresses me more.   i also want mummy glo!

I also got a little hair cut, it looks shorter in the front but i only took about an inch off all over.  yay for fantastic sam's grand opening in SD, it was for $12.99 which included shampooing too.
