Yes. The artist used Preferred Blonde on my eyelids but that was the only one I really looked at. It's a very nice light champagne color. Looks great on. The pan is larger than the standard e/s. The packaging is nice in person.

And was it a veluxe pearl or pressed pigment? Enquiring minds need to know...

When I was in the site map, I realized just how restrained I've been of late. Of all the collections below, I've only purchased two e/s from By Request (one gifted away) and a lippie, two duos and a fluidline from Styleseeker. Pretty good! :)

Well, my interest in Love Goddess is out. It is too light for me. At the rate these swatches are going, I might only end up with Deeply Adored.

Thanks for the swatches! I'm wondering if Love Godess is similar to Chanel Rouge Allure Palpitante. It's described as a raspberry red. I thought it would be close to Moxie too, but Palpitante is definitely red with a hint of pink.

*___* I'll be super happy with LOve goddess although it's not the color I was expecting from promo pictures... it looked darker!
Which colors would you compare to it? In your picture it almost looks like watch me simmer (on my lips.. and it can also be my monitor that changes the color).. one of my followers on my FB page says it looks like force of love...

Force of love I own. It's more corally compared to Love Goddess. Love Goddess looks extactly as how it is described. (pinkish red all the way cool toned)

I wonder if LG will pull more pink on darker skintones

Not sure. But fyi I have pigmented lips (reddish hue) so it showed up really nice on me. At the event the make up artist used Redd l/l on me and it pulled more red then the picture I posted eariler in the thread with no l/l on. She also mentioned Magenta l/l will make the color more pink.

Well, crap. I pre-ordered the BP ages ago and it's been on my very short list of 'to buys'. I think I'm going to need to get CIS. I'm going to try very hard not to get Deeply Adored, but I like that swatch too. I'm hoping someone will post swatches of those shades against some of the other MAC reds so that I can be strong and not succumb. Someone talk me down. I have way too many reds already.

I like that the BP is light and not too shimmery - that stays on my list no matter what.

Ohh Thanks for that idea! I could def. pair it with Magenta or my 16C liner that would help the pink show.
