I think I need smoked purple now.
I do have 3 extras if anybody wants then. Only 2 girls said they "might" want it so, just let me know thru PM
I ordered last night when it was in stock and got a back order notification. The rest of my order has shipped but YR. I noticed no triangle as well. Weird. I wonder if I'll get it or if it'll get cancelled.
CartoonChic,
Yes, You do need Potent Fig in your life. It is gorgeous.
It is a mattene - love the shade and formula!
I bet you'll find it @ a cco!
WAIT! I think I saw it @ cco in Hagerstown last time I was there in June.
Chanel La Provocante arrived today. It's a plum purple with red undertones. It's not as dark as it looks in the tube. The formula is matte and buildable. It's not drying on my lips. It may be similar to YP, but matte. I won't know for sure until I can compare them on Monday. There's a pic posted in the Chanel FNO thread, but you can't see the red in it.
I saw Potent Fig and the brown one from last year at my local CCO last month. It's the Orange, CA. location.
Thanks! I'll see if I can find it. It may still be at my CCO too.
Just got my YR in the mail!
OK, the first few swipes feel rather sheer, but I think it's just some sort of manufacturing coating, because after removing it then reapplying, it wasn't sheer again. I'm more of a dabber than a swiper anyways....
Also, on me it's an exact color match to Fervent from Gareth Pugh. I tried YR on both lips, removed it, put Fervent on both lips, then removed that and put fervent on the bottom lip and YR on the top. The only difference is that Fervent is a Satin and has a little denser texture. YR is creamier with a more emollient base, but it's definitely an Amplified, the same type of Amplified as Reel Sexy. You can get the exact same color density as Fervent if you do an extra layer, or just do a single layer and the color will seem slightly lighter, but only because it's glossier and is reflecting more light. When you remove it, it comes off easily without leaving a stain.
I had zero issue with patchiness. Sometimes I think Temptalia must grip her lipsticks like a lumberjack and grind them into her lips. The only thing is, since it's pretty moist, I would make sure that any primer you're using has fully absorbed into your lips, or the extra dose of creaminess will conflict with the lipstick's texture. If you put balm on underneath, prepare for it to go on very sheerly, again because of interaction between two textures. 'Haven't tried lip pencil yet, but that certainly will absorb some of the creaminess of the lipstick, so if your lip pencil is on the dry side, watch out - it might act like a resist and again result in some weird application issues, unless the pencil is well blended into the lips first.
Finally, you're going to have to apply it and let it set a bit with your mouth open, if you don't want any transfer. Once it sets, you're good to go, though. This happens with creamy dark lipsticks - Potent Fig being the biggest offender. YR isn't as picky, it's less picky than Fervent too.
On the up side, this sort of texture is great for dark colors, because if you use it on its own, you get this sort of "suspended in glass" effect, sort of like how the cremesheen glasses operate, but in lipstick form. It's lovely and now I've pretty much got a BU of Fervent.
La Provocante looks an awful lot like Cunning, from Fabulous Felines, which is to say gorgeous....



No problem!!! I went to go order the Chanel one last night and it was sold out. Then I see it is back... As backorder... Which means I probably won't get it...
I want this color..But if I don't get it , it won't be a huge deal. Save me 32.00 dollars right? 32.00 I really don't have.
I have Odyssey by MAC... I have a midtone plum "Fantastic Plum" from Chanel ... So I kinda feel I got the trend for Fall without really spending a lot or having to go extremely dark.
However if I don't get the Chanel , I'd happily try Smoked Purple from MAC or there is a NARs matte pencil that is identical to Smoked purple I saw on temptalia.... Or even Nightmoth liner from mac.
Actually Lancome has a purple similar to all these.. I just have a feeling lots of brands will be bringing their version out in the next two to three months.
Still it would be nice to get the Chanel one.
right as always. i would always think how i wanted to buy chanel peridot nail polish... look how many brands have a dupe.. it's sickening. i almost don't want it anymore :/

OMG!!!! 
I got my YR in the mail and tried it on as soon as I got home. It looks just like it does on Azalelia. Its deep purple, 2 layers. I was surprised it looked that way since it looks so different in the swatches. But she is about my skin tone, so I guess that's why. I will try to get an in the sun photo to post tomorrow. i like it, its my Cyber fix without getting Cyber.
BTW, I think YR looks very similar to cunning swatched on the back of my hand. Cunning has a little more sheerness to it. They could be sisters, but not twins.
If anyone is looking for a deep purple. Kat Von D, homegirl is a good one too.



Its probably all of the above.
Girl, you don't NEED it at all. The OPI and China Glaze dupes are dead on. So much so that I didn't even buy the China Glaze one. I wanted to buy the Chanel but didn't once I heard about the possible dupes being released. When it turned out that they were exactly the same I just bought the OPI and saved a bunch of money.
Beet Liner - Delectable - Yung Rapunxel, Plum Bright and Prince Noir
Beet Liner and Delectable thrown in because they came wtih my YP order and I immediately had to swatch them lol, so I just added Plum Bright and Prince Noir to compare.
YP is definitely plummy! I'll have to see how it is on the lips, but so far I really don't mind the sheerness, even though it is an amplified. I'm still wearing my Full Fuschia that purplerinne was so awesome to CP for me, and I'm seriously in love with FF right now I don't want to take it off lol. If it weren't perm at pro I would definitely stock up on that baby.
Anyway! I'm hopeful about YP. I'll have to test it out when I get back from my trip on Sunday!
here's a pic of me wearing YP. a few swipes to fill in my larger lips :)
photo taken outside in about all the sunlight we are getting today. Sorry, no full face, because I took this while dog walking, early.
its deep purple for me, like cyber. i like it. i will have to put a gloss on top or use a red liner to redden it a bit more.
