Raspberry Swirl - Left, Pink Lily - Right. Same in swatches. They are very similar in tone. Pink Lily is a bit sheerer, texture different & a tad more violet. RS is a bit heavier in texture & a bit more subtle rose tone than violet. They are very similar in shade.



^Pink Lily ^RS





^You can see in these swatches that RS, left has a bit more rose base & PL has more of a baby pink with violet.

So I'm a little "special" when it comes to matching lip liner and lipstick. I'm like NC15 and just ordered Snapdragon, Rose Lily, Dreaming Dahlia and Fleur D'Coral. Any lip liner suggestions? I'd like to combat the sheerness. Thanks!
I'd say if you want to keep the integrity of the color of Snapdragon, use something like Shock Value Pro Longwear liner. I used it today with SD and it really popped out the blue-lavender of the color. I'd say Hip N Happy for Rose Lily. HTH!

My items are here! Petal Power blush is insanely gorgeous I can't wait to wear it! The gold sheen just makes me happy lol My Perfect Topping has a few lavender deposits too, but I never had the original to compare

I forgot - DD has this beautiful subtle gold shimmer in it. Its so darn pretty on the lips. I have really pigmented mauvey lips & they show up lovely, cover my own lip shade, & show true to color. So don't be afraid that they are too sheer.

I just finished playing with my stuff that came like an hour ago lol. I absolutely LOVE everything. I bought H.Hybrid, Snapdragon. And the Stereo Rose MSF and I cannot find one bad thing to say about it . Its BEAUTIFUL. I only tapped it lightly about 3 times LIGHTLY with my 129 brush (I no its a big ass brush but I didnt feel like digging for a smaller brush. I was too excited) and I put it on and it looks to pretty. It definitely compliments my skin tone and I think it will take me 5 yrs to finish that thing with the little amount of product you need for one wear so I wont be getting a backup. I have a few gold strikes in mind and I did a swatch of the gold parts and of the regular and the gold is just a smidge more coral and the other is a bit more pale but I have enough of both that im fine with it. And of course the lipsticks are just fab, I would suggest wearing prep n prime lip base underneath though.

Yeah I never got around to mentioning that - they all have this really subtle shimmer in them that doesn't look shimmery unless you are peering very close. From normal viewing distance, I think this pearl powder mostly serves to make the colors look more opaque and also more moist and glistening. I love this trend - it's like they're using translucent pearlized pigment that's very finely milled to provide color density instead of just using white, like was done in the past with pastels. It makes the colors so much more wearable and keeps the texture much nicer and easier on the lips. I can't wait to come home with my stuff…I've got a makeup appointment on Friday during the event and will make sure to get a picture. I hope I can decide what colors I'll want him to use.

not sure if anyone has posted this already, and sorry but not digging thru 140 pages to see if anyone has posted this, buuuuuut....I got HH yesterday and it is an almost EXACT dupe to Plumful. HH may be like half a shade darker but they are suuupppper close....so if anyone missed out on HH, you can always get Plumful from the permanent line. Or if you already have Plumful, you could skip HH guilt free cause I swear they're too close to tell a difference
