I swatched them side by side when I went to the counter. I didn't get a picture, but IMO they were similar enough to not need both, particularly if you don't find yourself reaching for that colour super often. I mean, if greys are your absolute favorite colour in the world, then the subtle difference might make them both worth having. But if you only wear greys every once in a while, then I would say that you are safe skipping GG. I did!

Yeah, actually I did that today but I didn't have any other makeup on. I did mine smoothed underneath my lash line, & inner & outer eye corners. I usually use more of a highlighter shade underneath my lower lash line to bring brightness to the eyes.
The pencil did work great as a quick spot, redness concealer. For that reason alone, I'll be keeping it.

Not that I'm trying to create more lemmings for anyone, but I did another look with my Pret A Papier goodies.

Yup. That's exactly what I said a few pages back. It doesn't last long at all.

That's a great idea. I think I'm gonna try that soon.

Yeap Instant Chic looked ashy on me yet again. Ugh I hate any product that takes more effort.

I just bought Made to Order today after much debate since i was afraid it would be too much like Fresh Salmon which i already have. I swatched 'em both on myself and noticed the Fresh Salmon is more of a golden sheen peachy coral compared to MTO which is a pinky sheen deeper coral which i think i'm going to love! I like Fresh Salmon yet i find i have to use a darker l/l to tone down that frosty halo i get since my lips are a bit pigmented. I'm hoping MTO won't require that!

Here are some great items I've wanted when they were released but held off, end up seeing and bought from a CCO a few months down the road: Lollipop Loving l/s, Silverthorn e/s, Glamour Check e/s, Perfect Topping msf, Refined msf, Just A Pinch blush, Eversun blush, Goldyrocks d/g, Black Russian e/l, Sorceress palette. I can't tell you how rewarding these purchases felt!

I don't despise Fold and Tuck, but I don't see the resemblance between the two. I thought maybe it was just me, so I'm glad someone else feels the same way. They look nothing alike to me. I thought maybe I just wasn't seeing the similarities. I guess it is all a matter of perception and personal opinion.

I think Gazette Grey is super pigmented and it showed up just fine over Painterly and Soft Ochre. Gazette Grey actually is more of a brown-grey, so I think any neutral base will work.

I just saw a Youtube video with someone wearing Dressmaker lipstick and even though my lips are more pigmented, I want this one now. I will probably pair it with Fold and Tuck. I really do love this collection.

This really is your collection
I have also pigmented lips and I find Dressmaker to be very pigmented, feels more like an AC to me than a Lustre.
Although I am not sure about the colour on me.
