I'd need comparison swatches! Relentlessly red and All fired up may be similar to: Love goddess, Moxie, party parrot..?
flat out fabulous in T' swatches reminds me of Quick sizzle

and I love Runaway hit!

I just ordered two ben nye palettes, and have never tried any ben nye shadows before. I couldn't find any swatches on google and figure for sure she'd have some. NOPE!!! Not a single one in her swatch gallery. WTF! Thankfully some specktrettes highly recommended BN shadows, but even tho T had no swatches, her gallery is a bitch to navigate! And if you type in a certain colour you're looking for a dupe for, it matches the dupes up by brand or something, rather than the colour? People don't look for dupes by brand usually. They look for dupes by colours, knowing full well that many brands won't carry a dupe. It's just one big clusterfuck IMO!

The swatch gallery as great of an idea that it is, it sucks. Mainly because the lighting is different in every swatch! Would probably be more efficient to just have comparison swatches in one post and not have to visit the gallery. Just sayin.

Let us know Erin how you like the palettes!

The gallery was an awesome idea but is just SO cumbersome and her style for taking photos has changed so much over the years it just isnt reliable =/

I think we all knew these lippies would be like similar colors in MACs perm line or LE colors that have came out before . . the BIG difference being the formula. So far I think I want all of them. . . however Im unsure about Runaway Hit

I'm gonna wait for these to come out in stores so I can b2m My list: all fired up, fixed on drama, relentlessly red, flat out fabulous and for liners, just dynamo, all the other I have close enough dupes for. Quick question, sorry is this is repeated and I have looked in the b2m thread but since the policy changes so often I don't know what's accurate anymore. Do paint tubes qualify for b2m?

Agreed. I think it would be best if she took new photos to accommodate the gallery although I can imagine she might not have some of the old items available. I'm sure it would be a pain to take on that task but I would want to make my gallery as uniform as I possibly could, even if it meant a lot more work. The idea and intent is awesome, but right now it's not as user friendly as one might hope.

Fashion Boost looks like a good Heroine dupe, of course that one isn't listed as perm -_- Shock Value!! Seems very Silly-esque.

Thanks doll! I bought the essential and the theatrical palette. So far they've got great pigmentation and they're matte-can't go wrong!

And i will say-my wallet hates me because of her inglot swatches. So it wasn't all bad. It just needs some major reconstruction and made more user friendly i think.

If you ladies wear just liner do you put lip balm or something under it? I feel like its always wayyyy to dry to just wear on its own =/
