This actually makes me happy because Red Devil is a fave lipgloss of mine but I don't really want to use it too often because I'm afraid I'll run out. So having a dupe will be great, now I can rock those coral lips without worrying

I couldnt take any pics for you though so you could see. The MUA even said they were pretty darn close. Fold and Tuck is also close to Cha Cha. |

I think that gazette grey is really the stand out of the eye shadows. Other colors are pretty similar or can be easily duped.

So far I've only bought Dressmaker Dressmaker but I've been thinking a lot lately as to whether I should wait on the products I'm lemming (Instant Chic & Gazette Grey). I'm trying to practice self-restraint because after having picked up a lot of great products from the CCO I'm convinced that great things do happen to those who wait.
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!

Well I tried out the chomagraphic pencil....hmmm, I don't know if I really like it on my waterline. A dark lining there really looks much better on me. I'm going to play with it today a little bit more.
Also, I'm not sure that this pencil has staying power for the waterline as usually you need something more waterproof.

Elegant One, did you see how Temptalia used the Chromagraphic pencil in her FOTD? She used a regular black eyeliner on the waterline and then lined underneath with the chromagraphic pencil - it bought some light to her coral look. Maybe you could try using the pencil like that and see how you find it?

When I went to buy my goodies I was sure I was gonna get Gazette Grey but my MUA said that it looked exactly like the dark e/s from Notoriety quad that came out with MakeupArt Cosmetics collection. I never really got around to swatching them both together but I'm debating if I should still buy gazette grey

Can someone swatch both Gazette Grey and Notoriety? I want to get Gazette grey and also get the quad with notoriety in the summer, and it would help me skip Gazette Grey if they are similar.
