But I have Queen's Sin and 2 Red Romps.. should I skip Cult of Cherry? I don't really use red that much, though I used to a lot. XD


But cult of cherry is a beautiful color! It is brighter than red romp and warmer too. It reminds me of a bright ripe cherry. Yum. It is also perfect with So Scarlet Lipstick

I think with a light hand any color will flatter. If you like plums and browns in your blushes than I say go for it.
With shadowy lady I don't think you will get the bruising effect. Just watch out for the fall out, thats the only problem I can see with the colors. Smudged violet is beautiful!

It does remind me a bit of fab but fab had more purple in it to me whereas plum de bois had more brown

Adina, holy moly woman! Those lip combos look phenominal on you!

Any WHY must you have so much love for Smudged Violet? I am trying SO hard to resist that quad. I don't know if I will be able to now


Thanks Audrey! I am just recently starting to rock the red lippies more often. So scarlet is just perfection!

I already have the new French line matching OPI nail polish

Is it a grey violet - how pronounced is the violet color in it?

Thanks for all the info dear


You don't know Jacques is the matching color right? Yes, smudged violet is beautiful. To me it is a beautiful taupe grey with a purple tinge in the pan. On the hand however, the purple really does pop out atcha. <3 this color! I am sure it will be awesome for a smokey eye

elegant-one (or anyone with pigmented lips), what do you think of Creme Cerise? Is it too like and will make me look dead?

Looks like I will get all the lipglasses except Cherry Blossom, some of the lipsticks and one of the Mattenes, Rapturous or Kirsch.
Oh man. I so love those reds....

Can anyone tell me if brash looks like coppering in person?
I can't tell if its a different shade of copper on the comp. Oh and does sweet chestnut look like trax or cranberry in person? Im trying to save money, so if they are that close I don't need that quad.

Adina, thanks for awesome swatches yet again!

Do you happen to know how Smudged Violet compares to Bobbi Brown's Velvet Plum Metallic e/s? I'm thinking maybe SV has more grey to it while VP is more brown and warmer?

I wish I could but sadly I don't have anything BB so I can't compare.

Parlez vous OPI is the matching color, I believe. I have it on the way along with a few other France OPIs and the Sephora by OPI in Metro Chic which I think would go too!

I really liked some of the pictures/swatches of Cerise...but then in another it looked kinda orangey...so, as of right now, I'm unsure of that one.

Adina, you look so fabulous in all the pictures

Thanks for the great swatches, I'm so happy you had fun!

I'm totally going for the dark lips looks! I can't wait until my Bing lippie arrives. Hey, I'm a modern trendy woman (gosh, why is it any time I hear or see the word trendy, I think of Bobby Trendy)

whatever

The modern colors help you break out of makeup ruts

Does sharp from the tempting palette come on sheer and the color can be built up or is it very intense? It's an interesting color but I don't think I'm comfortable walking around w/bright lemon lime on my eye.

Thanks so much Adina for the review and swatches!! Now, I cant wait to get to the Pro store tomorrow. So far it looks like I will be getting all of the lipglasses except Liquor (doesnt look too hot to me), all of the quads, the So Scarlet lipstick, I THINK both of the blushes and..............um...............thats about it.

I'm not too sure about the mattenes, especially the dark ones (I kinda have the same concern as lsperry).

Is Sharp from the Tempting quad similar to Bitter from the perm line? I kind of like the look of Sharp but I can't see myself buying an entire quad just for one shadow. So if there's anything in the perm line that's similar it would be great.

Next to Nothing - Literally did not show up on my nw20 self
Sharp- Eye popping acid green. Similar to pagan and bitter and with great color payoff
Dark Edge - Good for the crease, its a pretty basic brown with a hint of purple
Tempting - A gorgeous warm shade of cocoa. Perm I know but so beautiful!

It's funny,when I swatched Rich n ripe on me,it didn't look dark at all,it was more of a medium pinkish color on.

With all of this chatter about the OPI France collection, I went searching for nail swatches. This collection and CoC were made for eachother! Check out these babies! I think I need all 12, though I could probably live without 3 of them

Hope this is ok to post. If not, MODS, please delete.
