I'm in love w/Raffinement!  I'll have to try Poise in the crease when I wear again.  Great tip.  Thanks Elegant!!!!!

Yay!  I didn't know you were on the Raffinement train...awesome!!   

what's raffinement?

My All Woman quad is due to be delivered today and it's after 6pm and UPS is still not here. WTH! I want it to show up before the hubby gets home from work. Curse UPS! Oh, and I paid for second day shipping so it better arrive today.

Edit to add: I got it and my hubby is none the wiser lol. He complains even though he buys stuff too. I think it has to do with my being a stay at home mom.

Anyone seen Strong Woman on someone with NC15? I've only seen it once, and swatched on NC15 skin... 

I just picked up SW and AP from my local MAC store tonight. 

They got more stock.

MATTE! What more can a girl ask for???

This goes to show that if your meant to get it you will. I got lucky last friday in picking up pipi in store and being able to order papa during the 20 minute restock yesterday. Enjoy!

Oh, and I got a CP of SW which I was lucky to get. How awesome that you found those.

Did they still have AP when you left?

Seasoned Plum - Yung Rapunxel - Go For It - Kontrol (Illamasqua) - Goes and Goes - Plum Bright - Heroine - Strong Woman - Up The Amp - Airborne Unicorn (Lime Crime) - Play Time

Absolute Power strutting her stuff with some fellow reds. I'm surprised how lightly it swatched. It's so much darker in the tube.

Thank you so much for this, Buick! Ruffian pops out of the crowd. It's my favourite. But now my head is spinning. To get or not to get AP?

 I love Ruffian too! It's the most unique of the bunch.

AP is also pretty unique because there's so much pink in it. So if you like your pink-reds it would be a nice lippie to have. The application was divine 

Pink Pigeon and chums:

19 Fuchsia (YSL RP) - Quick Sizzle - Show Orchid - Girl About Town - Candy Yum Yum (BR version) - Pink Pigeon - Lickable - LT18 Hitoeume (Kanebo) - Chatterbox

Can you compare it with Moxie, Gesina and/or LG? I have those.

Yes, I believe so. They got a lot in stock. You should give them a call. The MAC store @ Towson Mall, MD.

I have a feeling it will be repromoted at some point. Even made perm. Look what happened with CYY!

I thought you bought it already. Inglot 281 is gorgeous too. I was going to get 282 as well but I skipped it thinking it was similar to Up The Amp. Now I'm not so sure. There's always room for more purples!

My thought exactly 

I wasn't able to get Airborne Unicorn when I ordered Chinchilla/Poisonberry cause it was sold out. I'll probably buy it when their new stuff comes out. I have been searching high and low for Inglot #281 and #282. They had told me it would be avail online and in stores, but it isn't. I've gone to their stores in the city and they are either all sold out or just never got them in.

Online I haven't found them either. I may just forget Inglot and wait for another company to come out with the purple shades, MAC, CoverGirl, Maybelline, Revlon, WetnWild, etc. I agree with you. There is always room for more purples!!!

Firm Form, GF and some random greyish stuff:

Natural light (or what remains of it):

Firm Form - Grey Friday - Riveting - Chinchilla (Lime Crime) - Gris Chintz (old skool Lancome). The last two look like twins in the tube but they swatch totally differently.

Thank you for all the swatches. They made my day brighter.
