    First time ordering

    I loved the book! I read it in the first week. I also was really pleased with my 2 lipsticks in  Portrait Peach & Portrait Pink, they are exactly what I like to wear. And I love the shape of the lipstick & the formula! I also, liked my Ella Fitzgerald eyeshadow quad . I like the  Pistachio Eyeshadow duo, & I just got a chance to wear it today. I hope you come out with more shades of everything. I will probably at some point purchasing again. I love this cosmetics brand!!!!
