Hi all!
I'm sticking to my list so I'm going to buy: Spitfire l/s (I'm a sucker for pink lips x_x) and Athena's Kiss l/g. I reallyyyy want a mascara, but I'm not sure if I should get Victorious (purple) or Themyscira (blue)...

Finally some swatches!
I originally wanted Amazon Princess but after seeing the swatches that's getting switched out for Mighty Aphrodite. I barely wear Briar Rose so I know Amazon Princess wouldn't ever get used. Mighty Aphrodite looks beautiful though. I love BOA and NARS Gina so heck what's one more coral? It does look slightly different to me though. Warmer? BOA tends to looks more coral/red on me so a pink coral would be nice. I'll be interested to see what the red/coral looks like on my shade.
Secret Identity looks nice, but I'm going to need to see that one in person.
WW looks like it might work. I originally decided against it because of the applicator, but after seeing it I really need to try it. I have full lips so hopefully it will work out.
Looks like I'm only spending about $39.50 which isn't too bad.

[/quote] You make a good argument for Mighty Aphrodite. It's more coral than Gina and not as red as BOA. I actually think Amazon Princess would be much better than Briar Rose because it doesn't seem as pale. The pink shade is deeper and the other side of the blush gives it more depth. BR is kinda tricky to work with for me, but I think AP would be nice. I just can't jump on board. I keep looking at both but I can't get excited.

I trust you! Temptalia' swatches had convinced me that this collection has nothing so special and unique
I've had the same reaction. I've avoided Peacocky up until now, but it's on my radar again. And I'm back looking at a few things I haven't picked up yet from Mickey Contractor and Stylishly Yours. Or, I could put $$ aside for Surf Baby, which I'm hoping will blow my mind.

I just want to get a lipstick for the packaging, but i do not like Heroine, and I already have Russian Red.
I like Spitfire, but i want to see how that looks compared to Up the Amp, because I have and love that.
Marquise d' is nice but i'm not sure if it's going to show up on my pigmented lips, and i've been into more opaque lipsticks lately since I have two toned lips.
soo..... its basically between spitfire and marquise d', but its not like im excited to really get it. lol

The more I look at swatches, the more I am unsure Russian Red will work for me. Any NC25s like it?

[/quote] Yeah, right! When I woke up this morning(I mean afternoon) I thought, "did I really say I wasn't buying anything?". :lol: Cut to the day of the release, you and I will post about how we dropped triple digits on this collection. What is wrong with me? I feel obligated to buy.hboy: And while I'm thinking about it, Do I need Russian Red if I have Moulin Rouge by Mufe? I need to do some research.

Ok, so Temptalia's swatches are confirming to me yet again that this is a skip. I do like the peach Aphrodite blush but I have so many peachy pinks and pinky coral blushes, lol!
Oh and on Russian Red, I used to have that one (swapped it away) and I've seen it work on a variety of skintone. I much prefer Ruby Woo for a bolder blue based red. Russian Red looks more orange toned in comparison.

Heroine looks awesome on Christine but I think it might look crazy on my full lips. I want one of these specially packaged lipsticks, darn it! I am deciding against RR because it's matte and after looking at swatches, it's a poor man's Moulin Rouge. I might have to take a chance on Heroine, if anything.

So far my list reads:
Marquise d' l/s
Mighty Aphrodite
Valiant Palette-must see first, I have Photo Realism and love it so much I've almost used up 3 of the shades. I've already replaced the lightest with Solar White after I used it up.
Mirror-maybe, jsut for fun
I agree I don't think it looks anything like Ripe Peach, it looks pinker than RP. I'm NC15 and I like Ripe Peach. It looks good with a nice highlighter with it.Ok...Mighty Aphrodite has now been moved to the DEFINITES list!!! I CANNOT ever pass up blush shades in this color...I don't care how many dupes I have...this one is coming home with mama!!!
Also...that looks NOTHING like Ripe Peach. I have Ripe Peach and actually don't really care for it on my NC45 skin...but I refuse to get rid of it for "collection purposes." (SAD BUT TRUE)

that 19 inches of snow was crazy! I got a snow day out of it though. I wonder how MA blush compares to bite of an apple? this looks nothing like ripe peach..
