Shoot. Temptalia's swatches are making me cave to order in addition to my previous order all the blushes plus Rio & Lust.  What do I do??
They made me want all that too! I was just going to get Adored, Narcissus and Fever Isle, but now I'm eyeing all those.

I agree, I was just wondering why the LE MSFs from this collection are so highlighty! I don't think there's been a collection since Blonde, Brunette, Redhead where I didn't get at least one commemorative MSF but since I am not that into highlighters, I tend to get the ones that I can wear as blushes. Here, I thought Rio might be it, but it's not looking promising at all. They all look very dupable since I already own Redhead, By Candlelight and Petticoat. Oh that is small indeed! *that's what she said* (Sorry I couldn't help it) I expected it to be between the 131 and 150 in terms of size.
It's in between the 131 and 130, not 150. My adored and 159 came today. Yeah, I'm gonna need BUs of adored. CRAP!

ORLY? I am worried mine will look too peach on me, it was compared to Shell Pearl and that just looked wrong on me...so I hope I get the same reaction you had.

Do I need to BU Heroine L/L or do we think it will come around again?

I just was on youtube and the lady doing the video was wearing Midnight Mambo. It really did look gorgeous on her! I am trying to fight the urge to buy more (brush, Midnight Mambo, Rio and Simmer). I have already ordered Adored and Lust. Someone please talk me out of this, okay? Help!!! Maybe one more item, but really I need to put the brakes on purchasing so much. I'm an NC 37 with dark brown hair and hazel eyes, if that helps.

Hey girl, I can't help you, if there is a restock I am totally getting Midnight Mambo. Someone here enabled me on that thought.

Sooo, as many have stated, pictures will hardly do the items justice, but I went ahead and tried to swatch some things. Picture overload will commence in 5...4..3..2...1!

I forgot to ask, So what does that color actually look like on you?
It's hard to describe but one me it's a blue/grey/lavender color with gold and lavender flecks. Ill include a picture but it just doesn't even look like what it does in person. It's soo pretty. Hope it helps a tiny bit. This was taken outside. Time To Tango Left dry right is wet

By any chance, was this ShadesOfKassie's video?
