Thank you very much my makeup guardian angels! I was able to grab the pink! I was being indecisive about whether to buy the coral also, but I didn’t want to miss out on the one I know I want.

So what happened? Did you all mass-return half your backups?

Yay! But you need the coral too- honestly. It is my favorite favorite. I want like 100 of them!

Lol. Not helping with my goal to NOT buy all the things this year! How would you say it compares to TF Pipa Moisture Core...you have that, right?

Shoot! Sorry! I don't have that one. I'm just super in love with these lipsticks Here's a quick swatch. In person it's pretty obvious that the Pink is cooler and Coral is a lot warmer View attachment 62938

Coral on top. Pink on bottom.

Thank you the swatches! They both look super lovely on you, but I can see why you like the coral so much. On you, it’s just EXTRA.

Looking at it, it does look close enough to Pipa that I’m going to pass, sadly. I really am trying to show a tiny bit of restraint this year, lol. I’m super excited for the pink, though! I can’t think of anything I have like it except maybe the Rouge G from a few holidays back.

Restraint is a good thing. I definitely need to show some myself! And thank you. You will love the pink

My powder arrived yesterday, and while it is beautiful in the pan, it barely shows up on my skintone. I tried doing swatches but you honestly couldn't see the powder other than the faint shimmer. It is a finishing type of powder it seems and while it probably would work a lot better on you fair skinned beauties, not so much on me.

Ugh, that's what I was afraid of. Such a bummer because its so pretty. Not sure what they were thinking when they created it. It should have had at least some color to it.

It really is a bummer. You can see in the instagram videos that @awickedshape posted above it does show up better on lighter skin tones, but even then it still is quite light. I also wonder how much product was used in those swatches. My guess is a fair bit. Blurg
