If you take a look at the lipsticks on the product images here:

Which lipstick is which?? I think I want the second one!

I don't get why it is LE too. If it is that fantastic and improves the skin why make it LE? So we either have to buy backups like crazy or the effect will be gone after a while when we run out of it?

I think I will skip it then.

To me it doesn't make sense to buy a LE skincare product that would be part of my daily skincare routine and I am pressured to buy backups or hunt it on ebay and the CB if I want more.

I think it is impassioned too. The neon pink is show orchid.

Yup that IS Impassioned. I think the model is wearing it on the outer half of her lips.

I am going to swatch both of the lipsticks and eyeshadows when I go to pro today. This way I can have a preliminary swatch collection for my blog.

I have nars schiap on my birthday wishlist, so I am wondering how show orchid compares. Im guessing since schiap is coming to me, i don't need show orchid but who knows?

 

[Krasevayadancer]

OK! I am back

My conclusions:
Both impassioned and show orchid are very very bright and not for the faint of heart. That said they are both gorgeous colors that look almost exactly like...

The Dame Edna lipsticks! Impassioned is coral polyp and show orchid looks very similar to Gladiola only a bit shinier. I will have comparison swatches up tonight on my blog but I figured I would let you all know.

Bitter is your traditional shade of chartreuse and white frost is a creamy super frosty pale white.

HTH!

Adina,I have Schiap and I loveee it

I also have Show Orchid,hmm,I think I need to go compare now

 

[Susanne]

Ok, I want Impassioned!!

Thank you all for helping.

 

[Sanayhs]

Impassioned != Coral Polyp.

On me, they are ABSOLUTELY different.

Ok, I changed my mind about Show Orchid. It may be too bright for my NC55/NW47 skintone. I may end up getting just the Prep + Prime Transparent Finishing Powder, Prep + Prime Refined Zone and the Prep and Prime Line Filler.

Here is a comparison pic of the 3, also posting this to the swatch thread and my blog

I adore Impassioned! I wear it personally and I am an NC15-20... but it really picks up on my white hair!

 

[User38]

It is Impassioned... yep

wait wait, Impassioned looks like a mix of Coral Polyp and a bright fuscia on me.. on this pic it looks way too corally!

 

[dreamer246]

From the swatch, Impassioned looks like a pinker version of Coral Polyp.

I'm getting both anyways, they're both ACs right?

 

[Susanne]

I thought Show Orchid would be more... pink?

Impassioned is really pretty though!

 

[Krasevayadancer]

Show Orchid wasn't as bright pink as i thought it would be actually!

I will have more photos up on my blog tomorrow, i can't access them while at work. Keep in mind there is a bit of a shadow on my hand too.

I will post more on it tonight
