I love this collection! I got all the lippies except Runway Hit and I got a BU of FOD and from the PLWLP I got High Energy, Trust In Red (thanks Elegant-one for the enabling!) and Fashion Boost. FB is very similar to Heroine on me, but I like the PLW formula a lot, so I had to get it anyway. High Energy is a bit lighter and more orange than Redd and Trust In Red is pinker than Cherry and that makes it perfect for Ronnie Red and Love Goddess. Relentlessly Red is quite different from All Fired Up on me. AFU is a bit darker than Moxie and RR is a tiny bit darker and matter than Party Parrot. Flat Out Fabulous is darker and more purple than Daddy's Little Girl. Dangerous is very close to Lady Danger and Scarlet Ibis, but LD is slightly more orange and SI slightly more red. I also swatched Diva next to FOD in store and I think I still want Diva, because it was not as matte and a bit redder. So I don't have any exact dupes!

And, now I am regretting skipping RR. Guess I will end up getting all of these except Dangerous if I can track down RR and SG. I may need TiR too, but not sure I will need it if I have the red from Hey Sailor.

RR should be perm, so you can always get it later on. If you can swatch in person you could take the red from Hey Sailor with you to see if the difference is big enough. I don't have that one so I can't compare them.

Got any swatches of RR and AFU on you? I'm thinking about skipping RR and getting AFU instead, because lots of people say RR is kind of a coral red and I despise coral on me, and AFU is more of a fuchsia red and I like that idea more...

Hi ladies. I just found an excellent dupe for Fixed On Drama. So if you can't get your mittens on FOD here's an alternative. It's part of the LE L'Oreal Le Matte lippies called Matte-R-O-Fact.  It's also a matte textured lip product in a pen form. Actually, I like the L'Oreal version better. It's easier to apply and last 4-6 hours on me. However, they're difficult to locate.

I am catching up on this thread and just a moment ago thought about the same exact dupe. And I see you posted it... Awesome! This gives the rest a chance if they weren't able to get FOD. But on the other hand Matte-R-O-Fact is getting hard to find too... Smh

First picture is Relentlessly Red and second is All Fired Up. I only applied the lipstick, so no lipliner or any other makeup. Please ignore the crusts on the skin above my lips, I had an allergic reaction or something. If you want more of a fuchsia red then AFU is indeed your best choice. I love both of them, but I think AFU is slightly more flattering.

Here's Flat Out Fabulous over Fashion Boost. I love this combo. I swatched Fashion Boost next to Magenta and Heroine again and now I do see a difference between it and Heroine. Heroine is darker. I also swatched FOF together with the liners to find the best match and that's FB, Heroine is too dark and purple and Magenta too pink.

If you could only B2M for one lippie which one would it be? While I'm in the mall going to go ahead and get another Retro Matte. In my car in the parking lot and have decided to go back in. Lol I already have RH, FOD and Steady Going. I'm NC 44 equivalent Thinking about Dangerous or Flat Out Fabulous. Worried that both look like other colors though. Dangerous similar to Lady Danger. And Flat out Fabulous similar to Embrace Me? Am I right? Guess I'll go swatch a bit :)

I've also read that Flat out Fabulous is like Girl About Town (different formula of course) but maybe someone who has those lippies can enlighten us!

Thanks. I ended up B2Ming for Flat Out Fabulous. I don't have Girl About Town I swatched Dangerous next to Lady Danger and on my skintone they looked identical. I still want it though. Lol
