Yup! Just as I had suspected and stated earlier this week! FMP is similar to seductive intent with their difference only being "slight". I don't need FMP, must shop in a smart manner. Thank you for posting the swatches :)

That's a great idea! Thank you, will do. I guess I'll take Chanel's Frivole with me to the counter then to compare.

The thing is that my mind tells me to skip BMS, but my heart tells me to get it, no matter if I have dupes or not because of quality, texture, subtle color differences, and so on and so forth. I guess resistence is futile for me at this point until someone is going to step up and tell me that the quality is horrible and I guess that's not going to happen!!!

Thanks for your ideas, though!

I know. If I really want something I can try to reason why I shouldn't get it, but I will remain a hub of unrest until I decide to just get it. I love my HS Pro Longwear bronzers but rarely wore them (using them a lot the last weeks) and in my heart I know I have enough bronzers or they'll repromote something in the future, but it keeps haunting me until I just give in. Back ups for both it is then...

I have also reasoned myself out of the two Art of the Eye quads. Hello Rimal Dahabia, welcome Masat Al Lail quads to my humble home,,.

If it keeps haunting you, just get it to set your mind at ease. I think it is skippable tbh. If When in Rio was sold solo it would have been here, cozying up to RD and MaL...

There, I just had my 5 seconds of fame, being useful on Specktra until next year around this time...

So I just received the first part of my haul.




Feel my pulse is pretty, but it doesn't make my heart skip a beat. If you want opaque coverage you need to layer it.I feel that it is not terribly unique amongst my other purple lippies. The packaging is pretty though. If only they had made a gorg hot pink or red l/s I would be good... I'll post some comparison pics in a bit...






The pencils are shorter than I expected, but gorgeous... They can be sharpened with the NYX sharpener just fine. I quickly applied all three and blended them quickly with a brush / fingers. I think they are easy to use but I don't know how long they'll keep on my oily eyelids.
Ripe for Love = purrrdy.... I don't think I have a dupe in my stash... (No Ripe Peach here)

FS is old news to many of you but I loooooooooove Silly + Ablaze l/s. Embrace Me is pretty but not terribly unique in my collection I think. I already have Heroine l/s, but contemplating backing it up.(along with Silly / Ablaze?)

Yesterday I saw the ED collection live and saw just how pretty Opalesse and Zestful were IRL. Those arrived today. I also saw Triple Impact which wowed me too so I should be getting that one within a week or so. Fiery Impact and At Dusk will reunite with Bareness and Flaming Chic in 1 -2 weeks or so.
Lavender Whip is ok but it makes my teeth look like I coated it with a banana peel

Perhaps that'll be in fashion next season though. I have the feeling that one will not get the love my brights get. I hope Raspberry Swirl will look good on me but I have a feeling I should have gotten an extra Silly. Did I mention I

it?

Farasha is pretty but I only swatched it quickly on the back of my hand and I just proposed to Parrot

. Unfortunately, it turned me down, because it wasn't into an open marriage. Looking forward to getting Banafsaji too next week.

After looking at T's swatches, I still think I have too many colors like FMP already. I'm going to stick with getting Caliente. I have nothing like that and I think I can rock it this summer.

And BMS is back on my list.

Hello there :)

I'm new here (first post ever on specktra!) and I'm from France :)

I can't wait for this collection... I'm a real coral fiend and RFL looks so beautiful ! I really want BMS quad too... Sure, I don't NEED it (I have both Naked 1 and Naked 2) but it looks like the perfect quad to put in a travel bag!

I'm on the fence regarding the bronzers... I'm quite pale, and cool toned I'm NW15/20 ... I'd like to add a bit of warmth and sun on my face but I don't want it to be too dramatic or obvious... After reading the last pages I think I will go for Sun Dipped...

It supposed to be out in stores tomorrow here in France, but I don't know if it's going to be online at the same time... I'm preparing for a loooong day having to F5 mac website in between classes! :D

Powerchrome Eye Pencils:
http://www.musingsofamuse.com/2013/05/mac-powerchrome-eye-pencil-review-swatches.html

Muse brought up a point of how these pencils are a bit troublesome to work with due to their stubbiness. (Do I want the black part scratching my eye during application?...uhh no thanks!)
Also, the comparison of the eye pencils next to a lippie is also a bit off putting. It's the size of a deluxe sample from some brands...=/

I've scratched them off my list...It won't be difficult to replace with other stuff from the TR collection :D

Temptalia said Oh Oh Oh is less brown than Calisnte. That means Caliente is a skip for me because Oh oh oh looked straight up brown on me and it wasn't cute.

In order of appearance: L- R: Lavender Whip, Up the Amp, Rebel <3, Plumful, Seductive Intent, Feel My Pulse, Daddy's Little Girl, Heroine, Strong Woman, Violetta




















I think Seductive Intent is the closest colourwise. Feel My Pulse is the sheerer tiniest bit more muted version of it, but really close...

Awesome swatches MACarette. Thanks for taking the time.

Definitely keeping my three original lipsticks on the list. I can deal with the sparkle, plus I don't have any colors like Sheer Seduction. I missed out on Seductive Intent, so I'm happy to snatch up FMP.
