Check out Beautylish. They have swatches up. You won't be able to do a side-by-side comparison per se, but you can toggle between the two shades.

Exactly. It's not greed or hoarding. It's SCIENCE. From the KISSINGER formula, has anyone tried Stoned Rose? I'm considering that one or Bitch Perfect as a neutral. I'm worried SR will be too brown and that BP will be too light.

I LOVE science! Probably because I do it every day.
I don't have either, but I'm curious about BP...it looks really pink pink in a lot of swatches. If they still have it up, Beautylish had Confession, which is pretty beige/neutral. In swatches it favors BP but is more beige. I hated the formula at first (no, I can't put my finger on why), but that lippie is almost always in my purse.
I'm in mobile so can't immediately check, but look in the gallery as I think I posted a pic of me wearing Stoned Rose. I'm a deeper skin tone, so that won't help you determine how it may look on you, but it might give you an idea whether it's rosy enough or too brown. Another idea is to check the product swatch on Beautylish.

Thank you!! Since your smushed lipsticks came from Nordstrom, I'm more tempted to order from Beautylish.

Not sure if it's Nordstrom!! The ones I have gotten directly from CT came like that too ( esp the recent ones ; mostly mattes)
I have no idea if it's a manufacturing issue, or a shipping issue, but I will say that Nordie's didn't pack these very well and who knows how my package was treated in transit. I only went through them in order to use Ebates. In my experience, Beautylish packs their orders with great care, so it's a good chance it would all arrive intact from them. Then again, my orders from them don't have to travel very far since their headquarters are in the same city. I always get them the very next day.

They've got a problem. That's really too bad.Thank you!! Since your smushed lipsticks came from Nordstrom, I'm more tempted to order from Beautylish.
But they weren't manufactured at Nordstrom

The same thing happened to me. My Bond Girl was smushed too. It looks like someone did not wind the lipstick all the way down into the tube. I called Nordstroms and they agreed to send me a new lipstick in two days. It should be here by tomorrow. My other two lipsticks were fine. (Glastonberry and Love Liberty)

FYI: Magic Foundation is on Harrods, Selfridges, and Net-a-Porter. Selfridges won't ship it to the U.S. (maybe cause it's liquid?). And Harrods already sold out of what I think is my color, so I bought two shades from Net-a-Porter and paid too much in shipping. I'm incapable of waiting until March!!
By the way, Net-a-Porter has shade descriptions, which is nice. I did see some swatches posted by muartistry_by_waj on IG comparing LIght Wonder to Magic Foundation, which were quite helpful:

Did you send a picture? Mine was over a bottle of shampoo that exploded due to the cold weather. Another was over a eyeshadow palette smashed to powder. I called within minutes of receiving. I offered to send back and both times no please toss were my instructions. Then when I got the Black Tie that the case wouldn't work. Again same thing, except they didn't have another in stock. So they credited my account and no demand to return product. Maybe I just got a really nice lady to help me???? But they had to have a picture ASAP proving what I claimed.

Weird. Hopefully, it makes its way home. I received my Spring purchase (Bond Girl, Amazing Grace, Mona Lisa). Mona Lisa arrived looking half empty and melty...how full is a full pot of her cream shadow? Bond Girl looks very RED on me. LOVE Amazing Grace and the cute lippie samples.
