This is the best I could do and I don't have Ladyblush, sorry! They were taken in natural light and I'm lighter than NW15.

Small chance that someone would have both, but I'd love to see Into the Light e/s (Asia Exclusive, Lightful Colour) next to Pandamonium e/s from the quad. Thanks!

Violet Trance (bottom) is more intense & pigmented, perhaps with more blue tones to it. The matte finish intensifies it, I think.

Jeweltone (top) has sparkles and has a softer colour and finish (being a velvet). It may end up being easier to apply, but I think VT will last longer and make more of a statement (as I talk myself into getting the quad...)

More pics in my gallery but really should do hmwk. I'll post them 2mo. HTH!

I'm thinking of having a friend from Canada pick up some of the Balloonacy stuff for me this month since it won't come out in Singapore until October. boo!

So, I would love to see a swatch or text descriptions of:

Perky L/G vs. Nico L/G vs. Opal Luster/G

Thanks in advance!

Cloudbound (Pandemonium quad) vs. Amazon (Raquel Amazon quad)

Up at Dawn (Pandemonium quad) vs. Leap (Corps de Couleur quad)

Thanks in advance!

I've only got the last request. Here it is:

Clockwise from top ending in middle: Up At Dawn, Leap, Quietly, Helium, Viz-A-Violet.

The main difference I've noticed is that Up At Dawn is cooler, and tho I don't own Lavendar Sky I can see the similarity. I also found Up At Dawn better to apply than Leap (i.e. more pigmented & smoother), but not by a lot.

I can only help you with one of them:

Cloudbound (Pandemonium quad) vs. Amazon (Raquel Amazon quad)
cloudbound is more whiteish and amazon is more yellowish
cloudbound is also more pigmented i find and was easier to swatch and build colour with my fingers

both are over UDPP

amazon on top, cloudbound on the bottom

Can someone swatch Crystal Avalanche and White Frost?

I often use a sparkly white color on the inner corner of my lids and Im running out of mine (its a bonne bell color ha) and need a replacement, and am worried that I'll get a color that is better off as a highlight than a nice bright sparkly white. Would one of/either of those work or is something better? Thankss <33
