I Like It Like That was exactly like Bubblegum from SCF on my hand, I already have two Bubblegums so I skipped ILILT. ASU was pretty similar to Saint Germain, but seemed a bit more wearable so I decided to give it a try (I look kinda harsh with Saint Germain). I had no intentions to get GFI, but since I had three sets of empty packaging I thought why not get it. It swatched nicely, there's a little shimmer there plus it looks quite wearable especially topped with a pink gloss. I also got Right Image gloss. I didn't see On The Scene, which was the most interesting to me, but I guess I survive without it. The cremesheen glasses are at the same price range with Chanel glosses here! Then I got Stereo Rose and Happy Together. I was surprised to notice they were both 26€ (31,5 usd)! I for some reason thought the MB were cheaper? Stereo Rose swatched quite light on me, not bright coral, more like a peach-beige-coral. It had strong sheen, but it didn't look metallic. Happy Together was also light, beigey colour with sheen to it. Those two weren't very different to each other on my hand, but I'm sure they will look different once on cheeks. Hang Loose didn't wow me, it was so light pink I thought it would look just odd. Very pretty colour indeed, but not for my cheeks I guess. Band Of Roses was beautiful, but I passed on that aswell (aren't I well-behaved ). If I would go back for some things I would get Band Of Roses and On The Scene. Oh, and New Vibe was so pretty too, that blush I would call sexy! Actually now I don't know why I skipped them! The MES were again pretty to look at, but they offer me nothing, so skip it is.

Thanks for your review, very well behaved indeed

On my list are SR and Happy together and it make me happy to hear that SR does not look metallic.
Would you consider Band of Roses a very pigmented blush? I like the colour, but if it is too pigmented, I am too lazy to make it work

Thank you so much for the swatches and for answering my question. I think I will get this.

see sheer is a different finish and its more coral than both but personally i didn't like it i prefer the cremesheen finish more.
here it is on the right i applied it more opaque for you to see the colour better

and yes i am still typing with the swatches on my hand!

Thank you for the swatches! Jazzed is a lot more pink than I originally thought.. I think it's one I'll have to try in store before I buy.. But thank you again!!

Yes Band Of Roses is well pigmented, but it's not like say, Azalea/Full Fuchsia/Devil, those insanely pigmented pro blushes. Depending on your skintone, you can go very heavy with this, but I don't think it will be too hard to use it subtle. This wasn't scary at all in person.

I don't know if it's my screen, but Jazzed doesn't look so pink in person. It's more orange than pink for sure. I try to take some swatches too to see if my screen makes it look like that?

i'll try and get my swatches up before work on monday, if not they'll be after 7pm GMT so that should be up in time for the US launch

Band of Roses may be the only one worth getting if you don't have something similar. (No more pinks for me!!)

I find this collection very skippable. My counter had lots of Stereo Roses. The male MA was super nice and gave me like 10 to pick out from.

 

[PinkBasset]

I posted comparison swatches in the swatch-thread!

It's not only you, the swatches look completely pink to me as well.

I would've done some lipswatches but my lips are dry from being out on a festival yesterday, all the heat and dust made them not qualified for swatching

(it's the annual Tuska open air metal festival here this weekend, this was my 11th time I was there! Tuska means pain/agony in english).

i've always wanted to go to tuska! a few of my friends have been and loved it

but the swatches look quite pink to me too, but at least they show both colours so if you own one you can kind of work out the other

Great swatches here on Bubblegarm!!
I'm glad to see someone swatch Jazzed against Made with Love

[peachsuns]

^ Thank you so much for the link!
Stereo Rose looks gorgeous!

 

[LisaOrestea]

For anyone asking about Hang Loose, I grabbed it today

I actually love it, way more than I thought it was going to. The lilac side isnt that lilac on its own but layered over a pale pink makes the pink turn more lilacy

Really unique colour! Its gorgeous as a highlight too

I looked at Stereo Rose but honestly didn't like it at all :| Its way too orange for my liking.

 

[wetwater]

Can someone with Jazzed compare it to Shy Girl and/or Fresh Salmon?

temptalia has swatches up of Jazzed l/s and All Styled Up l/s

She says that Jazzed is in between Ravishing and Vegas Volt from the permanent line but not as bright.
She also said in the comments that Ever Hip is pinkier than Jazzed and that Dressmaker, Dressmaker is orangier. HTH!

For All Styled Up, she said that it's a cooler Gaga and more pigmented and is in the same family as Snob.
