Damn! This collection is so close to launching and idk what I'm getting lol I think ill just skip it all this is how i'm feeling too!
i just can't decide...everything is too pretty!
I'm skipping. Nothing has really stood out to me but BMS, which I can dupe. Plus, Riri and Tropical Taboo are coming up and I want a couple of things from both collections.

BH is much more subtle even on me, unless I really pile it on or wear it over foundation. It's like a half-strength RFL.

I don't really know the NARS blushes in person, so I wouldn't want to compare, but RFL is extremely pigmented, plus it's not made light by adding white into the color mix, but rather gets it's level of brightness from yellow instead, plus it has brown and a touch of red in it, so it's not pastel at all. I think it will look absolutely fabulous on deep skin tones and you'll just have color, rather than a highlighting effect like you get from BH, which is much more translucent. I think the deeper your skin tone, the more BH and RFL are going to work as two very different products, which seems like a better reason to buy it!

I just called as well to make sure.

It didn't say Strobe Liquid Golden Elixir in my cart. She did say it is the Golden Elixir version though showing up on her end in my order.

I just went back to look at my order and the picture in my cart/confirmation is white. So when I saw your post I freaked out. But I called the online number to check, and he confirmed that my order color is Golden Elixir. He said don't go by the picture, that's a standard image they use. I'm def getting Golden Elixir.

i keep talking myself out of RFL, and then it just ends up back on my list. i have and love BH as well, but they sound very different texture wise!

i'm going to be out of town when this launches, so i'm not going to be able to pre-order from my usual store for this collection. (they only allow setting aside and pickup the day of the launch) i guess i have a few days left to decide before it releases online for us regular people...!

I only got Ripe for Love, Bare My Soul and Life's Luxury. I was happy that Sounds Like Noise was still in stock, so I ordered this too!

totally agree! And not to mention All About Orange collection! Are you getting anything from there?

yes everything is very pretty! I'm not sure why I'm not feeling like anything is a must have . The only thing I want to try out is sun dipped and I'm intrigued by ripe for love but that's mostly due to the hype. *shrugs shoulders*, we'll see what happens when it goes up.

Hmm, that's interesting. I bet Underdressed went fast too, along with Rhythm. Do you remember how the other lippies did? I actually like the TR quad. I bet that probably will be around for a while. I have hazel eyes, so purple and orange shadows are always calling my name :)
Underdressed did go fast. Rhythm is still available though. Don't remember the other lippies that sold out. The TR quad is gone now too but lasted longer than BMS. Can't wait to try out the products tomorrow at preview night!

Damnit. Lol. Well if anything it saves my wallet from hurting a bit more, until it hits stores. I'll probably be getting 2 bottles of it!

Oh good! You got it too.

I'm glad you mentioned it--just another hiccup!! Gotta love the adventure, right?

I didn't order any lip products or bronzers--these look amazing (I'm still tempted by them), but I had to cut somewhere.
