Whew thank goodness this will be a small haul. Cause I NEED that Marcel Wanders brush!

My list is pretty much all maybes until swatches...
-Budding Love lipstick- if it doesnt look too close Quite Cute)
-Budding Love lipglass if its pigmented enough
-The purple mes if its not dupable
-I love the polishes but dont know if I want to pay that much for a polish. I have to REALLY want it. Hope its not a cream. Thier cream polishes are just so goopy most of the time.

-Maybe Waveline f/l. I think it looks a lot like Imaginary p/p so probably not

Swatches on my new blog: http://artificially-pretty.blogspot.com/2012/02/test.html

I assure you that Budding Love is a lot more wearable than Quite Cute. Quite Cute was extremely pastel and pale. Budding Love is a light pink-lavender. I didn't get Quite Cute for this reason, but I will probably end up with budding love or the other ones from reel sexy.

I'm going to try to skip this collection. I need to save for Tres Chic & Reel Sexy. I am curious to know how Budding Love will compare to Pink Popcorn and Lavender Whip though. BL & PP seem more on the pink side than the purple. I'd love to have a Lavender Whip repromote or similar color but in this new Matte formula or Amplified Creme formula.

Thank you, I said that about the mes for a couple of days nobody believed me, lol
Is the texture the same? or improved?

Thank you so much for this! I did think they looked familiar, but now I can skip them for sure as I have all the other 3 MES and I really don't need any backups, however pretty the design is. :)

Thank you, paparazziboy! I love lipsticks, but I cannot (and should not LOL) buy them all. You save me some money.

yeahhh its hard to capture. I was really fustrated that I couldnt get the neoness of force of love to show up, but I agree that they are so similar. Nicki is less neon and paler force of love. Like if force of love scares you, go with Nicki. If you want extra POW, go with force of love. God knows I'll have both though LOL. Of course the Matte with not have the sheen of a satin. I wonder how different it will be on the lips though. Both are opaque formulas
