I'm quite like to know this too. I missed out on X-rocks cos I didn't think my pale NW15 self would be able to pull it off, and after hearing reviews saying otherwise I'm kicking myself. I don't wanna miss out on Plum du Bois too if it's similar!

Yesterday I ordered Plum de Bois (yes, elegant-one you NEED it, same as me, lol) I also ordered a backup jampacked l/g & I went to check my order status today & everything is accepted so I'm sure I'll get them, but I noticed jampacked is now sold out. So that is the first thing to go. That always sends me into panic mode, lol. I was sure So Scarlet would have sold out first. I wonder what will be next to go?

I love you too Elegant
There is one difference between us...I somehow haven't fallen in love with or ordered Blooming. And that is really is funny cause when i was just looking at the collection it is the only thing I haven't bought from CoC. I only have enough willpower to not buy ONE thing, hahahahahahahaha

Did you see them in person at all? I did, but I forgot to swatch Plum du bois because it wasn't in the display.
One, only one item remains that you do not have

Was just going to post a "public service annoucement" that Jampacked is sold out on the mac website - but others have noticed it too and already posted.
Consider this the ultimate enabling post - if you have been holiding out for the CoC - the time is NOW people!
*runs off to order blooming and tempting*

Ah, that's good to know!
I ordered both hoping that there would be some difference between the two.
Hopefully, when my order arrives I'll be able to see a difference as well.
Thx!

I have both X-Rocks and Plum du Bois and I would say on me, they are not similar. I get great color payoff from X-Rocks but when I put Plum du Bois on, not so much. Plum du Bois, on me, is really a blush that needs to be layered over another color, to add a little kick.

I did see it in person & thought it was soooooo pretty, but after I thought about it I remembered that color really doesn't suit me(every pinkish blush I get really doesn't work for me & ultimately sits in my traincase unloved)
And I have to not buy it so when my hubby complains when the cc bill comes I can truthfully say that I didn't buy the whole collection, lol
*I also didn't buy Rapturous or O or Russian Red...but they don't count cause they are perm/repromotes*

Kirsch was my first choice! I am nw20 with dark mahogany hair and i loves it!

I swatched em both. X rocks is warmer with more orange/copper in it whereas plum is more burgundy/brown. Also, the textures are completely diff with xrocks having an almost metallic sheen. X rocks screams summer and sunshine while plum de bois is more of a muted fall flush color.

You knew that already though didn't you?

Does that fall into the same category as I can't believe I got another pink lipstick
