I ordered Venus in Furs too and it shipped already. Looks like my kind of nude. Femme Bot looks darker. I want to get Modern Woman too but I am waiting for swatches.

I ordered Modern Woman! By the way, isn't it little weird? In the swatch above, Femme Bots looks darker than Venus in Furs. But Venus in Furs is darker than Femme Bots in the promo pic. lol
I didn't order Peep Show. It looks pretty, but it looks a really nude lipstick.

Did anyone get Decadence? For some reason I thought it was going to be permanent and was going to wait for the Sephora spring sale. But now I feel there is an urgency to getting it lol.

I must admit that the LE did push me to buy it now. The FOMO is real.

I just ordered Venus in Furs and am waiting for Soft Core, Polaroid Pink, Modern Woman, Femme Bot too. Yes. I'm a lipstick junkie. :rofl:I'm not sure which one looks good on me between Femme Bot and Venus in Furs, but I'll try after I receive them next Tuesday.
I wish I have one of the eyeshadow palettes too, but for me, some of the colors (from each palette) are too bright or shimmery for every use.

Sephora is weird. I ordered 4 lipsticks yesterday morning (Around 9:30am, EST) and one lipstick yesterday night (around 11pm, EST). Even if I ordered the former one a way before the latter one, the latter one has been shipped, but the former one hasn't been shipped yet. :scared: (both are Flash 2 day shipping orders, by the way)

It just came today from the Pat McGrath site. I thought it would take forever to come. Nice surprise. I hope to play with it tomorrow.

My Polaroid pink & full blooded has shipped so waiting on Femme bot to ship.

Femme bot is certainly darker out of the others which is why I choose it.

I just received 5 lipsticks I ordered. I haven't tried, but in the tubes, Femme bot is lighter and more pinkish than Venus in Furs (darker and brownish).
Modern woman is lighter than I expected. And it is less mauvey than I expected. It looks muddy in the tube.
Soft core are wearable pink and Polaroid pink are bright pink.
I can feel Venus in Furs and Modern woman are the ones I should return, but I'll decide after I try.

A little swatch:
(The swatch is lighter and brighter than actual shades because of the light)

Modern woman, Femme bot, Venus in furs, Marc Jocobs Slow burn

Modern woman is muted grayish mauve.
Femme bot and MJ slow burn are really similar, but MJ is slightly darker. They're muted natural+neutral pink.
Venus in furs is darker than Femme bot. It is brownish pink. It leans on brown rather than pink. It is darker than Femme bot' slow burn and Modern woman.

I think I might return Venus in furs and Modern Woman because brownish lipsticks don't look good on me and MW looks too muddy and gray.

Thank you for the swatches! I meant to say that Venus in Furs was brown based/dark and not pink. Looks like I'm going to be happy with Femme Bot.

No problem!
Actually, I wore them on my lips around 3 hours ago. I can say Venus in Furs is a brown lipstick. It's more like brown with a hint of pink.
And Modern Woman is gray-mauve and looks muddy on my lips.
I'm going to return Venus in Furs and Modern Woman tomorrow.
I like Femme Bot too. It's a little bit brighter and pinker than Slow Burn. Slow Burn is pretty boring to me, but Femme Bot is not! I think Femme Bot and Soft Core are MLBB lipsticks, but Femme Bot is muted (neutral) and Soft Core is bright (cool).

That's sad. Those you want to return are the only ones I ordered. Venus in Furs looks disappointing but I am keeping it anyway. I will surely love Modern Woman (just ordered today), similar to Madame Greige?! I am obsessed with mauvey-grey lipsticks. Like Cava from Bite Beauty.

I wasn't interested in the eyeshadow palette, but after I watched the swatch, it caught my attention. But the only problem is it's too expensive. Hmm..
