Thank you so much for posting this helps so much!!! I missed out on Toying Around so I'm glad to see that La Vie En Rouge is pretty close, but in Temptalia's swatches it looked much darker than TA.

LVER is darker also because it is a matte but the colour is quite similar. I am glad I could help :)

I really want to get it, but I'm kind of worried it may be way too bright for comfortable wear... YSL Peach Passion for some reason turns pink and neon on me (in a bad washed out kind of way)... I hope this doesn't have the same effect.

Both TA and LVER are bright colours. Especially TA is quite neon on me. I didn't buy LVER it is more red than TA so it might be more wearable for you, if you don't feel comfortable wearing bright colours. :)

I actually like bright colors (especially orange), but Peach Passion just doesn't seem to work... maybe it's too light idk...I'm going to put some gloss over it and see what happens(I HAVE to use it up). What kind of eye look do you do when you wear TA? I think LVER being darker will help. I was also thinking of getting Estee Lauder's Defiant Coral which is supposed to be a pretty close dupe for TA.

Well I don't have Glam or Toying around... So maybe I need DG and LVER. And FR just for good measure. I'm thinking that's what's going to end up in my cart. Along with the blushes...obviously :haha:

Fashion Revival is my only definite here, which is a good thing for my low buy! It definitely looks similar to Rebel in T,s swatches, but I don't mind that as I haven't got Rebel yet...

(FR, Rebel - credit Temptalia) Vaguely considering Damn Glamorous, Nouvelle Vogue and Pander Me, but I think I'll end up skipping them tbh.
This looks an almost identical match......like 99.9%.

Bought Fashion Revival and Living Legend today. Fashion Revival is EVERYTHING! Better than Rebel..the perfect berry of my dreams! So glad I decided to get it. Not pink or bright on me..just plummy/berry goodness! It isn't the mattest matte out there but not too creamy from what I can tell so far.

Living Legend is super dark on me (NW10 or lighter skin, pale pinks lips) . Bordering on black. But it has a nice plum tone to it and I am fairly sure that I wouldn't have liked Lingering Kiss as much as this one. Also a rather creamy matte but I think if you let it set it will be ok. Texture is more like Russian Red rather than Pink Plaid for example. (Pink Plaid is drier and more matte on me)

Lip swatches will follow :)

Thanks @VelvetLips. I'm sold on FR. Glad you love,love,love it. I think you may have talked me out of LL. I returned LK for the same reason. LK looked like mud on me. I hated it. I realize some people love it. I guess that's why they say, different strokes for different folks.

I do like it and I think it's just so dark on me because I am like the palest person in the world ^^
TTT was almost black on me, too. Except for flash photographs. But on the plus side, LL is not the slightest bit patchy. Goes on perfectly smooth.

I usually just wear mascara for an everyday eye look - I am not really a heavy eye makeup girl...
Definitely take a look at LVER. It is an orangey-red with some pink in it IMO. Similar to TA but not too similar. I think you'll like it :)
I didn't try it on that's why IDK how it'll look on the lips. Maybe I will try it on when I visit my store the next time - I can tell you what it looks like.

Swatches on NW 10 (or lighter) skin, pale pink lips, no liner

Fashion Revival

direct sunlight:




no direct light:



Color is pretty true to what it really looks like in each lighting. If anything, it might be smidge darker in real life.





Living Legend

direct sunlight:


It's less brown in real life.


no direct light:



My camera doesn't capture the plummyness that well unfortunately.

It really looks like one of those old Hollywood film noir lipsticks. Very dramatic but despite its darkness rather sophisticated than goth looking in my opinion.
