I did too. It's like that awful Allglam website, they just stole content from everyone (including me)! Glad that site got shut down. Hope this does too.

CCSorry for the poor quality shot. In natural light (through a window), no flash.
Approaching Storm, Camden Chic, Retro
IRL Retro doesn't look come as close to Approaching Storm as it appears to. Camden Chic is deeper than Retro and Approaching Storm is deeper than both.

I'm not sure I'm reading this comment right. Maybe I didn't label the pic correctly. Just to be sure. Sweet Sage fluidline on the top, then come avenue and local wares (side by side) then under that are Desires and Devices and Treat Me Nice on the very bottom.

I misread the label.
Avenue and LW look like the closest dupes.
However, LW looks like what I wanted D&D to look like. (like the outside of the tube) the actual swatch looks more gold than green.

Do you have the Bite of an Apple blush to compare it to??? Inquiring minds would appreciate any comparisons

I have it and just by eyeing the pans, Bite of an Apple is way more coral.

Nope, but if you look at Christine's swatch gallery, you should be able to get a good idea.
Hidden Treasures is beautiful. I'm so glad I got a backup.
The duo is not particularly unique, but I didn't have another orangey-gold in my collection like Chessa; and while I have plenty of warm browns in my collection, Indie Spirit had enough of a different nuance in it's tone, that I wanted that color as well. I haven't used the duo in any eye looks yet.
Indie Spirit did remind me a little of Brown Script, which I know is more red-toned, but I pulled it out for comparison. They look similar in the pan, but you can see the difference when swatched. It was difficult to get a really good pic to capture the true color of these shadows, but it'll still give you an idea. The only other shadow in my collection that I think may be similar is from my NARS Surabaya duo, which I can't seem to locate right now so I can't say for sure - just recalling from memory.

Bite of an Apple's in here, and as icecaramellatte said, it's definitely way more coral than HT.

That's exactly the reason why I do not post any more swatches, especially before collections are released, in the near future. It's too annoying to deal with intellectual property theft.

If anyone has LaFemme's Golden Sunset then you almost have a dupe for Hidden Treasure. HT is more red but not sure on the face it will make that much of a difference.

Not identical just darker/smoker compared to Avenue.
Bite of an Apple was more cooler coral pink tone but with a light hand both would look similar on the skin even with the different finishes. Love to see Bite of an Apple repromoted some day.
