I've been super busy - haven't had time for my usual manuscripts about collections, but I've got to say:

SiS = if you can wear these colors easily, SiS is one of the absolute best, since it's deeper than RiRi Nude or EE. I saw it on a gal who was more like NC35 with brown hair and eyes and it wasn't so great on her, though. You have to be willing to wear some serious black eye makeup and/or strong brows to balance this color out. On a side note, this color eventually pulled a teeny bit reddish on me, since my lips are red. I think it's going to look amazing over a brick lip pencil or even over Nightmoth!!! Just for an added change of pace with it

Pander Me = Unexpected love. I thought it'd run too brown for my taste, but it settled into being a warmed up, deeper Runway Hit on me, with plenty of orange in it. Like a terra cotta orange creamcicle mix. If it looks good on me, it's going to work for most people, although fair NWs might get more orange out of it, possibly.

There's something about the formula of this batch that somehow lets your natural lip color or maybe just your lip pH balance effect the color a bit - it will change in around 5 minutes after application as it sets. Everything would pull quite different on me than on the other gals trying them on. I like this - it customizes the colors and makes them very wearable.

Soooo glad to see you back hun! You've been missed!
And that description is me all day... So now I'm worried about SiS on me. Guess I'll find out soon enough, my box should be here Mon or Tues.

Quick swatches of "Pander Me," "Fashion Revival," and "Styled in Sepia" (NC15-20):



Originally, LVER was to be my favorite from this collection. Then my mom picked it and I found out it was identical to something [pricier] that I already owned - hence why I'm not purchasing my own tube (nor did I bother swatching it up there). But "Styled in Sepia" ended up looking exactly how I wanted it to look on me, and as such is now my favorite from the collection. A very pretty, gray-toned brown. That's what I wanted the most: for the gray to show through. And, since I never buy straight-up browns, I can say that this has its own unique spot in my makeup drawer.

What's so interesting to me is that I was only attracted to the gray in SiS because I own "Black Sesame" from the NYX Macaron lipsticks, and I actually really, really like how it looks on, LOL. Granted it's not at all 'wearable' - but that's why I now have SiS!

Thank you for the swatches! These are my top 3 as well. I can't make up my mind about LVER and honestly I have no idea how I'm going to pull off SIS but I'm too intrigued by it not to get it

DG looks soooo close to All Fired Up that I don't think it'll be an issue. It also looks slightly like Glam if you have that one.

Oh sorry, I meant LVER

But yes, I have Glam and I already swatched it next to DG they look really similar...
Anyway: thank you

Do you ladies who've seen pictures of me think I could pull off SIS? If so, I'm going to pull the trigger and order it. I usually shy away from browns.
