I read on Lauren's blog that FOL is similar to Party Parrot.

She's got a few comparison swatches here: http://www.laurenclarkmakeup.blogspot.com/2012/02/mac-chen-man-haul-swatches-and.html

Definitely looks like PP. I'll still buy it though

I hate when I loose a lippy I love! It happens more than I'd like it to. Force of Love is not as bright as PP but its nowhere to be found anywhere so I'll be getting FoL. The gloss is pretty too. Still iffy on Budding Love. Wish we could compare it to the one fron Reel Sexy in a swatch.
The shadows are pretty dupable imo and I think Ill save my shadow lemmings for ED.

I hope there will be some comparison swatches of Watch me simmer and force of love. I'm interested in both. :(

You can use Temptalia's swatch gallery to compare.

yes they look alike. I saw this collection in person that's what I thought of when I swatched Force of Love. Budding Love reminded me of a lustre version of Gaga 1

Anyone have an opinion on whether Force of Love looks like Watch Me Simmer?

Thank you.

The bright coral/orange pink lipsticks MAC has released recently started confused me TBH. Party Parrot and Force of Love look so similar. (Probably Watch Me Simmer, too?) They are so pretty, but do I need to own all of them?

Is this collection is coming next week? What's on everyone's wish list?

If you're on a budget, you can get away with one or the other. If you like matte, go for force of love. If you want a creamy sheen, go with watch me simmer since its an ampified. On the lips, they won't look TOO different since they are both opaque formulas. They're both warm bright pinks and lovely, but I do think they are similar enough to skip one, especially if you already have party parrot as well (party parrot being darker and redder) and viva glam nicki is the muted force of love.

Thank you.

I think Temptalia's lip swatches always come less saturated and duller than what it would look like in real life. I still appreciate her blogging and efforts, she just has too much flash or white lighting. Force of love is so much neoner in life.

I'm definitely getting the Force of Love lipglass, not so sure about the lipstick though since I have WMS, Flamingo, VG Nicki and I purchased the Dior Lipstick from their Spring collection in Pink Tulip - I'm set on corals for quite a while!

Budding Love is tempting, but not sure if I would give it the love it deserves (haw hawww)....

I'm not much of a pale purple person. I have Fresh Amour, but I need to really tweak it to satisfy me, therefore it mostly sits in my drawer unloved :( nothing else is really speaking to me, which is refreshing since I hauled most of Shop/Cook....

FA is a difficult colour, but pink lavenders/purples are so much easier, like Playtime (pure looove!).

Im considering getting supersweet! am i crazy?

Not at all. It's a great neutral color for those who like golds and taupes with a hint of pink. It will be an awesome product for a neutral day, especially if you are NW.


But I'm surprised you are not jumping on the blues and purples. Are you becoming a neutral gal?

I'm definitely considering getting Supersweet...that pink color is sooo gorgeous and I can't stop staring at it in Temptalia's swatches. I'm not sure about the chunkyness though or the fact that every Mineralize Eyeshadow I've ever seen has had horrible color payoff. And I absolutely hate the brown side, I never wear brown makeup. Oh what should I do?

I need swatches of Budding Love. I am in a purple lip frenzy right now. I just hope its more purple than pink.

I agree. I like her swatches to get a general idea of the color, but when I buy the same lipsticks, they are usually much brighter and often look more pigmented on me.
