Liba, this description makes me even more excited, and I was already extremely excited for Black Ivy. Thank you!

Me too

Thank you, liba!!!!

Sorry Dolly, Black Ivy is darker than Ivy, BUT it's not blackened! Not at all. It reads vibrantly deep bottle green. There is no mistaking it. In fact, if you don't like green colors on your eyes, you might need to really think about BI before you buy, or take a look at it in person. It's going to be tough to go by photos because it's a color that isn't going to play nice with camera flash, plus it's going to be heavily altered by your skin tone and appear greener, or bluer, or lighter or darker. It won't look near-black on anyone, though - it's vibrantly jewel-toned…so gorgeous!

Okay Black Ivy is on my must have list! I love jewel tones, and I am really getting into green and teal eye looks so this is a winner. I already know copperthorn is a must. Thanks for the reviews Liba!

Liba thank you as usual! Black Ivy sounds so stunning! Might actually back it up. Moody Blooms sounds divine, sounds amazing for fall

BI will look amazing on you!!! You could wear it all year round.

MB is gorgeous too, but it is definitely on the sheerer side, for those who only do opaque lipstick. It might not show all of its amazingness on very thin lips, too, but in that case, the sheerness is actually an advantage. It runs rather warm too, so pale NWs might have to try with caution, but I don't think that'll be too huge of an issue overall.

Liba, any comparison between Moody Bloom and Caliente from Temperature Rising? I know the finish is different but when I hear bronze plum, I think of Caliente.

 

[martiangurll]

Okay @liba you have convinced me to retry the SS formula. My list is Artistic License, Hidden Motive, Venomous Violet & Black Ivy

Drastically different finish. I'd say imagine deconstructing all the different color elements in Caliente - the plum, the red, the gold, the bronze and instead picture them as a constantly shifting range of color blended into a sheer finish. It's like a custom car paint or those multichrome nail polishes that are getting more common, but also sheer. From some angles, you won't even see a color, maybe just sheerness with a wisp of deepening or a flash of bronze for a moment.

If MAC did an entire collection of just this sort of thing in 8 different colorways, I would lose my ever-loving mind. Single most OMGWTFBBQ moment I've had in makeup since I saw this crazy hot pink with violet shimmer mascara back in the 90's. Haha, I am going bananas here, just thinking about it. Sorry, please excuse my temporary madness.

FYI, I didn't see Venomous Violet, since that's not in-store. In the past, I haven't much cared for the darker SS colors and found them patchy. It sure looks nice from the swatch we have, but I'm not sure if I want to buy before trying and go through the stalking frenzy for it. I'd say if you were going to try one, Lust Extract might be purple enough to satisfy your purple love. It's very violet fuchsia, reminds me of a pinker Riri Boy, but very glowing.

Thank you again so much [@]Liba[/@], you've been incredibly helpful not only in this thread but all the threads and it is really appreciated.

Dangit @liba you almost have me talked into Moody Blooms but the warm bronze part has me afeared.

Did you look bad in Caliente and Thrills and Funbathing and colors like that? Or warm nude colors? It's got all of those in it, so if this isn't up your alley, try before buy. I doubt it's going to fly off the shelves in stores, because it doesn't look the same just glancing at it in the tube or on the back of the hand than on the lips.

Thank you for the swatches!!!

Pheromonal is a must, Phosphorescent is likely and Lush Extract looks surprisingly like Pink Nouveau and not that purple so it's a maybe for me.

Hi doll! Okay, these two for me too! I am hoping that Pheromonal won't pull to red on me, but if it's in the fuschia range, I'm on it!

Yeah Caliente isn't my best look, and I have Astral, Solar Plum, and Strapless if you recall that one. Plus the bronzey plum from Archie's Oh Oh Oh was Meh Meh Meh on me.

Thanks Liba for the description. It sounds fantastic. My list is out of control for this collection.

I'm trying to keep this collection in control, but it's very difficult. As nice as the Osbournes products are, this is the one to beat in terms of pure fashion forward stylishness.

Don't be selling me on another darn lipstick! I loved Oh, Oh, Oh and the colour of Caliente but gave it to my daughter because I just couldn't deal with the grit and glitter. I'm down to digging what's left of Oh, Oh, Oh out with a lip brush. Bronzy plum sounds pretty good right about now.
