As promised with my swatch comparisons of Dish It Up, I tried out my Shop & Drop quad paired with Dish It Up lipstick. Here's the look I created last night!


Excuse the cell phone pictures, I don't know where my digital camera is at the moment! I tried to use my make-up mirror to give some sort of natural daylight glow..I also don't know what the hell went wrong with my eyebrows (!!!!) but that sparse side is usually somewhat hidden by my bangs anyway lol.



I attempted to use Shop & Drop minimally, so that the lipstick would more or less speak for itself. For reference and comparisons, my skin leans more toward NC15 (though rather neutral undertones).

Sugar Snack was applied all over the lid
Hynotizing was placed in the inner corner, and inner half of the bottom lashline
Power Boosted was applied in the second outer half of the lid and into the crease blended toward the browbone, as well as the bottom outer half of the lower lashline.
Shop & Drop used solely in the crease to smoke out and blend with Power Boosted
I also used Urban Decay Virgin as a brow bone and inner tear duct highlight

I used Just Wonderful l/p to line the lips and fill it in (my lips are very red, so sometimes they eat up lustre colors), I then applied Dish It Up l/s and paired on top with Narcissus cremesheen glass.

My cheeks have a mixture of Vintage Grape and Coygirl blush :)

I can't rely on her swatches either. If she's an NC25, her skin is only a few shades darker than me, but things look drastically different. I do like going to her site to get a better idea of dupes, amount of wear time, and texture though.

I placed a second order (plus a few things from Vera):

Hush, Hush Tendertone Lip Balm
Tread Gently Tendertone Lip Balm

Florida Cremeblend Blush
Restores Dazzle! Cremeblend Blush

Still waiting for my first order (Hot ‘n’ Saucy, Purring, Dish It Up, Naughty Saute, Quick Sizzle, and Watch Me Simmer).

I think that's it for me.

HOw will those fluidlines look on NC44/45 with brown eyes?
I think they'd look great on brown eyes and darker skin. I'm considering Added Goodness because I love the idea of a black/mauve/taupe type gel liner. Don't have anything like that even though I don't reach for fluidlines much. I still can't believe I want so little from this collection. It kinda makes the trip to the store not worth it. I wish I had known of the online launch. Oh, well. Right now, the list is: Watch Me Simmer lipstick Added Goodness fluidline and that's it. :shocked: I've dropped the quads because I either have the colors already or the pigmentation seems weak. They just don't excite me anymore. I'm not getting Optimistic Orange cremeblend blush anymore, that's for sure. I know I won't reach for it much. I hope something will change my mind once I play with it in store. :eek:hboy:

Duckrodeo-fab look! Was thinking on passing on the quad cause I have loads of purple shadows but your photos and temptalias swatches are swaying me...and those colours do suit my green eyes!

Does anybody else think T's swatches of the tendertones look different to other swatches online. Can anybody confirm if the colours are true to life?

Got most of the items from my order today, but I have only tried out Added Goodness so far.

Added Goodness seems to be a fluidline version of Dirty Greasepaint Stick. French Quarter is slightly darker than both AG and Dirty but they seem to be in the same color family. Regardless... I am in love with Added Goodness. It is absolutely gorgeous.

French Quarter Greasepaint stick is on the left, Added Goodness Fluidline in the middle, and Dirty Greasepaint Stick on the right. Sorry about the horrible swatches. Tried taking the pic in natural lighting. For reference, I am NC30.

I'm not sure there will be a second order for me, from this one.
The only thing that I kinda sorta want, but didn't include in my [first] order is Dish It Up lipstick, and I'm hoping that by the time I convince myself that I "need" it, it will be sold out.

Gorgeous look! Can't wait to get this quad so I can try something similar.

My first order (3 Pearlglides, Hush Hush, Runaway Red) gets here tomorrow and I'd say my Quick Sizzle order will be here Wednesday. I'm leaning towards getting the Shop & Drop Quad as I still have a smallish e/s collection and only have Seedy Pearl in the purple family. I'll see how I feel when pay day gets here.

DO I need this new brown fluid line if I have a backup of avenue? I know they aren't the same, but can anyone compare them?
I've been debating this too. 'Just going off Temptalia's photos, Added Goodness is definitely a bit lighter than Avenue and doesn't have the glitter bits. I honestly like it a bit more than Avenue (which I use a lot but didn't back up). I think I'll get more use from Added Goodness overall.

The ones I can't make my mind up on are Midnight Snack and Wholesome. I just bought a new Blacktrack too, so I'm a little bummed about that. Wholesome honestly looks a bit better to me. Midnight Snack may be too grey and grey liner just doesn't do anything for me usually, but when it works, it really works, so I'll have to see it in person.

Yes, very helpful. Thanks for posting. Dirty is one of my all time favorite liners, the only issue being it tends to get on the lashes when using it in the waterline. Won't have to worry about that now! 'Looking forward to getting it.

After much debate, I decided I wanted Florida and Restores Dazzle Cremeblend blush to go with the Optimistic Orange I had already picked up. Well I figured I would go to the Mac Pro Store rather than ordering online. I stopped by the regular Mac store that had the party I went to last week. I figured I'd peek in and see if they had the new permanent MES. Well they didn't but they did have S3/C3 on display with soldout stickers. I couldn't believe it. Usually when they have a party, they take everything away until launch day. Well, they had Florida but not Restores Dazzle. I decided to run to Bloomies. I called asking for the new S3/C3 collection and they said it had been out for a few days and that stuff was already soldout. What's going on? Well they had Restores Dazzle so I lucked out again. So basically, if you are waiting for launch day, you might do best to call and see if it's already out (at least in NYC).

BTW - Today's look included: Shop & Drop Quad with Hypnotizing all over, Power Boosted in the crease applied with 286 brush and Shop & Drop in the outer V applied with the 226 brush, Added Goodness fluidline, Subtle Breeze on Cheeks, Chanel Pleasing glossimer.

edit - I didn't see any Vera though.
