I realize Riveting Rose is purple on swatches of skin, but since it is a frost it does sheer out to berry pink on me...but it is LE and harder to find now, although maybe not sold out yet, possibly still available from the Jeanius collection (I think it was still in stock last time I checked the site)
How about Speak Louder or On Hold, both permanent Cremesheens? http://karlasugar.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/MAC-Cremesheen-perm-1-Medium.jpg
These are blue based berry pinks--I love On Hold!

Also, have you checked out I Love Winter in the Dazzlesphere collection? (Lipbag delights, Sultry) It is awesome. Not quite berry pink but an awesome blue based pink that is a cremesheen...

I have seen Oh Oh Oh and I swatched em, but never found them...
yeah riviting rose is very frosty - but that is why i love it :)

Alright this is my last best guess then I gives up, it is not a cremesheen finish, but I thought Oh Oh Oh was similiar to Odyssey or Plumful. Both are berry nudes, but not in the formula you liked...

its ok. I wont blame you for giving up. Im guessing you dont have both in sync and ohohoh otherwise you could see the color. but ya...these are nothing like it! :( I guess I'll have to lone them first (something I hate lol)
thank you though for trying. i did go through karlas swatches when i first found this combo, and there is nothing like it.

Funny, I feel exactly the same way. I love Runaway Red, but I feel like I need an occasion to wear it... Perhaps I'll trot it out a lot during the holidays...

After I posted a pic on fb wearing it and everyone raved over it, I wear it every chance I get. LOL Yes, I'm vain like that. I love how red lipstick can dress up an outfit.

I don`t like Midnight Blues, I had high hopes and tried it a few times but still don`t like how it looks, suggestions?
I didn't get it because I already had Siahi. What don't you like about it? If it looks weird with your skin tone, you could try just tightlining your eyes with it, without making any sort of cat eye, so it only has the most subtle color, or put a black or other color powder shadow over it to change the color to something more flattering.

romi u r not alone.... somehow colored liner doesnt work for me unless i have a double lining happening... but then i can do that with shadow! and blacktrack....

I think it's a matter of taste rather than the product itself. I did find midnight blues and dark envy and dark diversion to be low in pigmentation and i returned all 3 (except avenue) from this collection

^^ I love Delphic fl for a pop of color on the lower line with a neutral make-up on the eye, I always get compliments when I wear it.
Also Dark diversion looks good with my hazel eyes.
Midnight blues not so much, rich ground is a little lighter than I would like . I think a dark bronzy one would be much better. I guess we should stick with black and a couple of brown ones, how much colored eyeliner can someone use? I already have every color in pencil from from UD

I just ordered the Lady Grey Quad. I passed and passed and passed on it... but finally cracked! Any thoughts on it? Any combo suggestions? It was an impulse buy, and now I need some creative assistance!

It depends how dramatic you wanna go. I love hazy day for a neutral look from that quad.

I would be able to get both if one could be a Christmas gift or if someone buys some makeup from me, but usually I always end up buying my makeup myself and I have to have a budget for that.

i don't feel that the lady grey quad and daphne's look the same. similar in a sense that they are more muted shades but that's it so go ahead and buy!
