Ig you want a coral lip go for Skinny Dip, if you want a lovely pink go for Paradiso. It also depends what your skin tone is, if you can pull off Skinny Dip. I love it, my skin tone does not....
So Skinny Dip arrived today (Paradiso comes Friday...no idea why separate). It pulls beige on me with the golden shimmer and a hint of nude pink. It actually looks very very similar to pink sand on lips (for me). It looks nice but not what I was expecting, and I'm not sure if it's $50 of nice, especially given pink sand. It's my first TF lipstick, and man, can definitely appreciate the quality. Can't wait for Paradiso, and it really makes me want VV!

God, I LOVED Mac F&B...perfect match, best feeling, lasted great on me...unfortunately, my face HATED it...caused a major reaction and breakout (& I'm not even sensitive). I was so bummed. I'm trying the Nars tinted moisturizer right now. How does the TF compare to either of those?
I'm sorry M F&B didn't work out for you. I enjoy how light weight and dewy it is, but I haven't used in quite some time---product overload is a real killer.
I wish I knew. I'm waiting to use up the huge collection of foundations that I have before committing to TF. For now, Chanel Perfection Lumiére Velvet is my HG
foundation. I absolutely love it. I recently purchased Estée Lauder Double Wear Liquid Foundation and the All Day Glow BB Moisture Makeup. I alternate between those
and Guerlain Terracotta Joli Teint Healthy Glow Fluid Foundation and Chanel Double Perfection Lumière Powder Foundation for daily use. I like my Chanel PLV for
special occasions.

Oh geez---I wish I had some helpful insights to offer but I've not yet worn my Skinny Dip----I'm too obsessed with Rose Soleil topped w/TF Pink Guilt lip gloss!! If you're
finding them sheerer than you prefer, line and fill your lips w/ a lipliner. It will give you a pseudo opaque, yet nice look and longer wear time.

I hope you love Paradiso​ My VV arrives Friday and I have a feeling you'll need that next----it's pretty special.

Yeah, I think RS might have been the better choice, but not because SD looks bad...it's lovely, but just so similar to pink sand on me that I'm not sure I need a $50 dupe, haha. I think you're gonna be right about VV....

[COLOR=0000FF]Pretty, do you find it as sheer as MAC Face & Body foundation?[/COLOR]

Tinted moisturizer is a different animal to regular foundation. Not that one is better then the other. Just as foundations and finish and coverage and our own uniqueness makes foundation or whatever so difficult. Thanks to my Mama and her genetics I NEVER had a zit. Until I started to play with foundations. As well as the work environments we find ourselves in. Some of us are in the sun all day, others night owls, working in kitchens or office space. Or living on airplanes....get GOOD size samples in numerous foundations. Wear them for at least a week straight. No switching back and forth. For those with kiddies think of when you first introduce foods other then breast milk. Heck even with formula with babies. It takes 7-10 days to see if this works for you. Unless of course you get a BAM reaction.

remember Bloomies does that goofy shipping it starts out FedEx or UPS can't remember which one, then turns in to USPS. Which for me sucks. Since it is literally 15 minutes from my house when it flips to USPS and then goes into Wisconsin and then back to Illinois.
Yeah, it happens a lot. I'm surprised when it ends up being UPS, but it doesn't bother me. It still says Back Ordered, usually before it ships it says Processing and then In Transit. I just wish they'd ship it already since it's showing as being In Stock, it's making me nervous because usually they ship stuff out really fast. That really sucks that your package gets sent to Wisconsin and then back to you. Mine always comes from Connecticut and then comes straight to Minnesota and makes two trips in the state before it gets to me.

Oh my gosh, that is such a FUN gift to give & get! I love Kate Spade. You are a very sweet daughter

My mother has shoes with the Dr. Suess Go Dog Go on them, as well Campbell Soup can labels, etc. and yes, she wears them daily. As my brother I still say to this day, we have a different kind of Mom. A brainiac but goofy in a good way.

the flats, since my Mama's uniform is always oxford shirt, blue jeans or khakis and a navy blazer....no it is not her uniform but that is pretty close to what she always wears. This is the woman who will wear high tops under a 5000.00 formal. Comfort above all else, but her shoes are always funky!!! Of course she has the Chanel loafers too for those conservative days.

They will carry it in the NYC flagship store by Christmas. No other stores are this time.
I assume they will stock everything online as well. It would be awesome because Macy's is almost always the last to sell out with LE collections
Might be a very limited portion of the full line. As in fragrances, nail polishes, a few lipsticks, and the men's line. And not the full line of fragrances, lips, nails. As in not the LE. Even online. Remember stores are graded by designers. The designers are pretty careful to keep their product in their target range. Not that there is anything wrong with Macy's. Except they took away the heart of Field's and what that store was built on....yes, I am from Chicago.

Backorders are like the socks lost in the washer. Never know where they went, or if you will ever them....

Just suck it up Buttercup and pull the trigger now.....
I'm going to at least try to wait until I know more about the fall lipsticks. You ladies make that hard to stick to, though. :)

They've had a small amount of TF fragrances for quite some time and then I just saw the Men's skincare added. Macy's is definitely not my favorite retailer. I miss Marshall Field's though, the quality was so much better. I just buy makeup and dishes there! lol MF was pretty much like Nordstrom. On a happy note though, there is a Nordstrom being added to a mall by me and will be done October 2nd!

BAM was F&B for me...within 2 days, which was sad because it really was perfect otherwise. I was using clinique cc, but I wanted something with a better match and easier to work with. I have freckles, so I have to lean sheer. I wish I lived near a NM or Nordies with some of these brands to swatch.
