I saw your video and it makes me want Straw Harvest.

I compared the swatches at Karlasugar as well, and I thought they are too similar to justify a purchase with my tight budget. I have Nars Gilda and I think that should have the same effect (or at least I hope so ). Thank you for this, Shontay! Now let's see if Azalea Blossom would work on my skin

.

I too wanted Ripe Peach but I had swatched NARS Torrid before going to my MAC counter and they looked really similar. The only difference was that Torrid has gold sparkles in it. So I passed on getting it then but after being on Specktra, now I WANT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope that MAC repromotes RP though because I really loved the ombre pattern! *crosses fingers*

So, do I need Gold Dust. It is getting good reviews and I don't want to miss it before it sells out.

 

[bad girl glam]

okay! i went back and got Kumquat and Lavender Wind. i bought several other things as well. i am not going back to that counter for awhile. okay, that's a lie! lol! but i will be going back to get some Strobe liquid and another MSF natural in Deep Dark to add to my kit. i really need to hurry up and get my pro card.

those two l/g s that i got are so pretty. i wish i would have got some lipsticks, but that's ok. i haven't swatched them though. i just like opening the boxes and looking at them and then i put them back. i know that's crazy right?

I would recommend Gold Dust. I really like it even though it's a color I don't normally go for.
BTW, have you gotten Siss yet?

lol hi there, i'm the makeup addicted person who just cannot make up her mind.

at first i said i was going to skip the colour 3 quad...yeah...NOT!

i already have in my possession: springshine, vintage grape, stacked 1 pigments, and colour 4 quad.

now i am getting: colour 3 quad, purple rage and gold dust lipglasses

now after i get dirty plum from riveting, breezy blush, a 188 brush, and mineralize foundation, i am going on a NO BUY...

i know what you're thinking..."good luck with that..."

but i have to do it!!! haha

 

[bambibrneyes]

hello all, i am nw45, i recent brought the coral (ripe peach) blush ombre..to be honest its okay, its not an orange blush (sad face) it's really a peach color on my skin with flecks of pink and gold. I'll say this if your looking for a blush thats really light and not really noticable than by all means this is the one for you. i generally wear this blush to work and its gives me a pretty glow. its kind of a radiant glow.

Hey fellow NW50 here!! How did you like vintage grape? Would you recommend it?

I'm also a NW50 in Mac I tried vintage grape, I do like it but I'm not blown away. I think there has been a lot of hype, over the ombres. Ripe Peach hardly showed up on me, so I swapped it (I can see it looking nice on lighter skin tones).

But don't get me wrong it is a nice blush, just don't expect it to blow you're world

I don't know how much that helped.

i tried it on at my MAC Nordstrom counter, on top of the new mineralize foundation (NW47, suprisingly i wasn't an NW50 on this stuff) and it was beautiful!!! my MA enhanced it with Dirty Plum and it was just really really pretty.

but to be honest if you have the vintage grape you kinda don't need the dirty plum...i have both anyway but still...if you're trying to save, you don't need both...

Don't feel too bad it just showed up as sparkles on my skintone with a hint(very minimal) of color.

Check out Makeup alley if you're interested, I know there are a few listed. That is where I swapped mine.

Colour 4 Quad is dupable! I have a drugstore quad by Prestige that is dead on. I will try to post pics later on this weekend.

 

[spectrolite]

^Is Quad 3 a MUST have? I'm still ummmming and ahhhing about it. That colour Black Tulip looks super pretty. Has anyone got any thoughts on it? Regrets? Raves?

I have 2 1/2 palettes of purples and I still think Quad 3 is a must have. The colors are gorgeous and have great texture. Get it!!!

yeah everyone is super picky on there...only swapping it for lightscapade or pleasureflush.

i bet if i offered my metal rock for it i'd get offers from everywhere...but i am not going that far, haha.

Before you go outta your way to get it, go to your counter and try on the sample and see if you really want it. There's alot of products people raved and raved about that once I tried I knew weren't for me at all.

She has, I think, 3 glosses to compliment the coral lipsticks and Fresh Salmon would fit right in. Last note, I wore Gina blush by Nars with Fresh Salmon yesterday and it was great. I'm not upset about missing out on Ripe Peach at all. So, ladies try Gina. I don't know how it compares to Ripe Peach in a side by side comparison, but I do know it looks great with FS.

What lippies did you end up getting from Bobbi Brown? I have been looking at this collection and wondered what other woc think of it.
