Linda

Hmm... I'm starting to like the blush. It looks more peachy in recent swatches.

Sunbasque was just the working name. Here are swatches.

Linda

Hmm, Linda looks like it might pull too orange in this swatch. Skip!

Like others have mentioned, I'm curious to see how Acai compares to Fashion Revival. I have two FRs and if they're similar then that would be money saved. Still want PR though.

Sorry of this has been asked 1000 times but I'm confused to how the working name thing works ? They dont just rename the same product right ? Or do they use the same product and just change small things like the finish or a tad sade lighter... so they change the name ?

When they make a product, they give it a temporary name, called the "working name". They eventually decide on a name that fits best with the product and collection, and that becomes the final name. Nothing about the product changes, just the name.

Here are swatches of Petite Red and Acai and comparisons to Damn Glamorous and Rebel. HTH

I can't wait to get my hands on ACAI! Dare I might buy TWO?!

 

[Mizani]

Thanks! I think I may back up Acai... it's gorgeous.

My sentiments EXACTLY and I rarely back up. I just love how in all pics we've seen of it that it appears to be vivid. Thats what I find attractive about it.

 

[Mizani]

Hm ok, i can see a difference between them. Now i wonder if i also have fashion revival if i should get acai. and petite red reminds me of something i may have already, maybe red balloon. not sure

I personally think that Fashion Revival will be more muted and subdued in comparison to Acai. But I could be wrong.

Don't say that. Lol. My goal is to get one not two. However, the color is so beautiful it certainly looks BU-worthy.

That blush will be mine!

It really does. This type color is up my alley! Hope it is different from Fashion Revival too. Know this is an unpopular opinion but FR is just okay to me. If it were more vivid It would stand out on my skintone.

thank you for your reply :bouquet:

Here is @liba's response from earlier in the thread regarding the working name. Hope this helps!

Quote:

I have to point out that Sunbasque was the working name. This is a name that's used while the product is still in development. While I'm sure that Linda will be very similar in one way or another to Sunbasque, it won't be an exact dupe. Something will be different, either the texture or the finish or the color cast will be somewhat different, etc. It'll definitely pay to compare the two, but it might be that there will be something about the LE that will make some folks want it more than Sunbasque.

'Just want to point that out, because I'm pretty sure this blush is going to go fast, even if it's not a completely unique color.

I've decided I'm skipping this collection entirely. I was initially interested in Boca, but I'm passing now.

Thank you [@]MACina[/@]! :kissy: Since Açai is more purple than Rebel, I wonder if it would be closer to Strong Woman? I have not even touched DG so I should be good and skip PR... Decisions. [@]OctoberViolet[/@], you're not weird! But I do think you should pick Rebel up sometime. Imho it's a must-have, year-round color. It can be worn in varying levels of opacity, and I've never seen it look bad on anyone. And forget about dupes, I'm over here singing "Nothing Compares 2 U" to my lipstick tube when I hear people talking about Rebel dupes :haha: /loveaffair

Here are Acai and Fashion Revival....HTH
