Is anyone else out there thinking that Caliente is rather dark for a summer lipstick? I already have the PreRaphaelite (oops if spelling is wrong) and also Show-All. They are kind of dark for the summer as well. The eyeshadows are dark too. I feel ike sticking them in a drawer until winter. I wish they would have lighter colors for the spring/summer collection. It just makes more sense. By the time the July 4th collection rolls out, there will only be several months before it will be time to plant bulbs and gett the yard ready for the fall/winter.

I have the same lipsticks and I gave up the FMP. I watched live FMP, and it's too similar to the lipsticks above.
Congrats, a good choice

I'll probably give up on it unless i see a WOC swatch that changes my mind.

Same! it's the packaging thats attracting me to it, the other lippys don't appeal to me and i havent seen any WOC swatches yet.
Had to quickly search for the TT color story. I had no idea they were releasing another purple

Could someone compare the when in rio to the deep blue green in the surf the ocean pigment stack.The only thing I am really interested in is the quads and maybe the blush but I think I want to get the blushes in the other June collection instead.

They're nothing alike IMO. The pigment is much more blue and has no brown whatsoever.

Thanks Erine! Is it difficult to depot the powders? That I have never done before... That pic is so glamorous..:eyelove:
Easiest thing in the world! All you need is something thin, like a makeup spatula. Do the step at 3:10-3:30. http://youtu.be/6ZeHuFhYlrY Then just pop the old powder into the new compact!

Uhmm yes maybe that haha. I do actually have an contents insurance. (This is what my translator gave. Is that how it's called? Inboedelverzekering in dutch.) Anyway I'm secured up to €15000 or something. It's a special insurance for students, so it's not a lot per month. I still hope nothing bad will ever happen to my collection, because obviously the limited edition items will be hard to replace.

Your husband is so sweet to say that. My boyfriend also says I'm always pretty. He's amazing and I don't know where I would be now if I hadn't met him. I'm afraid I would still be that insecure scared girl.

You're right I also wear whatever I want to, but compliments are always nice to get and give.

Pinkdollface- you'd be surprised by how many women, young trailblazers and seasoned dames alike -who find significant resonance in your last line.
Your strength and confidence becomes you!

http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dJuWbdsPUb0 Crap I love how FMP looks purple on her. I've got pigmented lips though so it might lean more pink on me. Also love the TR quad on her. I just can't keep my list straight! Lol

I just took a peek at my MAC purchased list for 2013 (I hoped keeping this would slow me down a little) and I have not purchased ONE lipstick this year. Altered Beige will be my first.

maybe I should start keeping a list to shock me into not buying dupes of the same thing????

I didn't find my list slows me down...but it does keep me from buying the same product again and again. Except carbon, because it kEeps popping up all over!

So I did a look with most of my TR goodies. I used the Bare My Soul quad on the eyes. I have Bare My Soul on the lid, Romantico in the crease and Friendly to deepen the crease, Blanc Type as a highlight and to blend the edges of the crease colours and When In Rio is underneath my eyes. Romantico is a warmer version of Satin Taupe and the warmth makes it work great with the other colours. Friendly reminded me of Carbonized, but I just checked and Friendly is a bit more bronze and lighter. Bare My Soul in the pan looks like a muted version of Goldmine. On the eyes Bare My Soul is even more muted, it's a nice warm golden nude. When In Rio doesn't look as green on my eyes as it does in the pan. It definitely has some duochrome in it, but the green is deeper in colour and more apparent than the green in duochromes like Club and Burmese Beauty.
On my cheeks I'm wearing Ripe For Love and it actually shows in the pics! It's gorgeous

If you're not sure about it just stop questioning and just get it.
On my lips in the first picture is Feel My Pulse. For some reason my camera always gives purples a grey undertone. It's more pink and brighter in real life. For some reason I find it more summery than some other purple like Seductive Intent or Heroine. It looks a bit juicy because of the finish. I'm personally a bigger fan of mattes and satins, but this colour stands out because of the cremesheen finish.
In the second picture I'm wearing Caliente on the lips. Now again these dazzle lippies are much prettier in person. The sparkles are just so pretty and you really have to see them in sunlight. They don't feel gritty to me when I first apply them, but that might change once I have them on for a couple of hours, so if they start to feel uncomfortable I'll let you guys know later on. The only problem I have is that Caliente is hard to apply even because of the darker colour in combination with this finish. I think that unevenness will show less for Sheer Seduction, because it's lighter.

BEAUTIFUL as usual PDF. Love the descriptions---definitely helping my decisions /w TR Collex.

I got an invite in the mail for an event. It's been a while since I've been to one. I've been switching my MAC purchases to Nordstrom, so I'm not sure if I'll go.

I watched The Hunger Games last night. Caliente sort of reminds me of the purple lady's lipstick.
