I dropped by counter to pick up my last order. I'm not sure how I managed to place four separate orders and NOT order A Natural Flirt, but I did. I asked the SA if it was still available but she mentioned that A Natural Flirt, Small Vanity and the pink F/L were all sold out. I'll pick it up tomorrow. I wanted to spend more time comparing swatches but we were on our way out of town and I didn't want to leave the BF and dog in the car too long, haha.

I swatched DE and YR on my hand and they were similar enough for me to skip DE. I didn't try a lip swatch, but I probably would have given in and bought DE at that point!



Top: DE Bottom: YR

I wanted to love RM but I swatched it next to RC and it wasn't as purple as I'd like it to be. It was definitely brownish and I couldn't justify paying that much money for something that was just OK. I've seen swatches where it looked more purple, so I don't understand why it was showing up more brown on me. Maybe I'll check it out somewhere else, but for now I'm ok with skipping.

which 1 do you prefer?
for the pop of color i like EM (it looks so light in the pan , but once swatched it turns more of a pink color.. totally weird..) but for more natural look i like the TPC... so i guess i like both

Lol I was at Pleasanton, I had to contain myself or they'd be like this beezy is from the bay she's not from the valley. I was upset though I think I made the guy nervous but he was really helpful he didn't help anyone till he was done w me :bigstar:

Ok...I have narrowed down my list to Ready to Party edes, Dramatic Encounter l/s and Talk Softly to Me l/g. How is the texture of RTP...is it patchy like T says. What about DE. Would it be too dark for nw20? Are there any dupes for Talk softly to me?

I better make up my mind quick. I see that DE is sold out at Nordstroms.

NC20 here.. DE is really pretty.. Its more of a wine color. Here it is on my lip paired with Vino lip liner and clear gloss in the center. Applied with a brush to sheer it out in the center of the lip. Note that it does look darker in person. i cant get it to photograph darker! I also had a little bleeding issues but I had lotion applied all over my face (already took off my makeup) so thats probably why.

Thanks,

they both look very nice. I just feel so guilty getting both. Maybe this will help me out, I have Nars Albatross, do I still need WOG?

Alas, I was not done with this collection. Since I was already backing up Moth Brown I decided to add another Deliciously Demure to my cart. With all the feedback from my WOC Specktrettes, I decided to add SV, too. Can't wait to try it!

I have really pigmented lips, basically red. It did seem to have more brown on me than Temptaia. Not in a bad way though. I plan on using it and blotting to mute the brown out a bit. :D

EDITED: I just tried it on again it did seem a little brown next to my skin. I'm very pale. BUT... Its very VERY flattering. I wanted to tone it down a bit so i used Underage lipglass. That made it perfect! Just like what I wanted. Did you order it? If not, it would look so pretty on you!
thank you, glamourdaze is probably the only thing I'll take from this collection! I think this collection is really cute, but I already have a lot of products in this range of shades! My last haul of the year will be:

Glamourdaze lipstick
Viva glam Nicki lipstck and lipglass
Sublime culture cremestick liner
224 brush!
