right now the only thing i would get without seeing swatches is deeply adored. everything else sounds like it would be too pale for me.

Kimbo: I believe theye mean with "true red" is that the colour is balanced. No too much of either blue or orange. But blackened deep.

After taking a peek at the color story my prelim list is Deeply Adored l/s Charmed I'm Sure l/s Scarlet Ibis l/s (I missed out on all of the Apfel lipsticks) It looks like this will be an easy and inexpensive haul
but I can't complain because if all goes will and these reds complement my neutral leaning NC45 skin, three brand new mattes will be coming home with me :encore:

I don't mind the repromotes in this collection. I have them all, so it's just money saved!
MY LIST:
Lipstick
Deeply Adored - Deep scarlet (Matte) & Charmed I'm Sure - Dark true red (Matte) - I hope these 2 won't be too dark. + They sound like not blue based ones, so there's hope.
Pure Zen - Warm nude (Cremesheen) - I'd love to find an awesome nude, this warm aspect interest me, but it's a MAYBE.
Love Goddess - Mid-tone pink red (Satin)
Dazzleglass
Phiff! - Sheer yellow peach - I might get a BU (I only have a mini from G&I). I like this one with bright lippies.
Little Rock - Soft sheer white with pearlized pigments - MAYBE?
Eyeshadow
How to Marry - Soft White (Veluxe Pearl)
Preferred Blonde - Pale champagne beige (Veluxe Pearl)
Silver Screen - True silver (Veluxe Pearl) - I might skip this one. Since the e/s are special packaged I don't have buy a quadfull of them.
Showgirl - Dark blue grey (Veluxe Pearl)
Beauty Powder Forever Marilyn - Sheer pale peach highlighter
Powder Blush Legendary - Pale soft coral (Satin)
Nail Lacquers - big MAYBE
Not too much damage, but I hope this doesn't come at the same time with other collections.

Here's Scarlet Ibis over Redd lipliner. I tried to take a picture of Sail La Vie and SI side by side, but my camera sucks and can't pic up the difference, but really they are different. Maybe if you're a darker skintone not so much. I was able to take a picture of SLV by itself in the same lightning. That picture is on the right.

Thank you so much! This is definitely redder than SLV. Sold!Here's Scarlet Ibis over Redd lipliner. I will take a picture of Sail La Vie later, because my old picture has different lightning so you can't see the difference between the two lippies as well.

I will take another picture of the two side by side on my lips. I do have to tell that SI is a touch more orange without Redd lipliner.
Edit: My camera couldn't pic up the difference so sorry, but i can't show the picture
I only have a picture of SLV by itself to compare to SI.

I would wear SI with Redd to make it redder as well. I wear SLV with Throw Me a Line.

Ahh stupid camera can't show the difference
And it gets blurry when i try to take a picture of my lips only. Aren't TMAL and Redd like the same colour?
Audrey C

Are they? Well, that's good to know. I have TMAL but was going to buy Redd. And my list shrinks again!Ahh stupid camera can't show the difference
Can you see a meaningful difference between SLV and SI? I'm trying to avoid near dupes but am happy to get SI if it's redder.

You can always take your TMAL with you and swatch them side by side. I swatched them in store side by side and they looked the same to me.Are they? Well, that's good to know. I have TMAL but was going to buy Redd. And my list shrinks again!

Then I'm glad I have TMAL - I like the PLW formula.

So I should still get The Perfect Cheek even if I have Pink Cult?
You tease about the penultimate liner being released so often but do you like it?
Thanks for your help.
