Here is what Razzledazzler looks like on me... probably better to show the color than hand swatch.

ENABLER ALERT! I'm trying to talk myself out of it. I've seen the pictures

I tried it on...its basically a bright peach color on me (things end up very true to tube on me though, you may be different)... as for another possible dupe-ish thing for Flamingo...the tokidoki gelato lip balm stain in Donutella is kinda similar also. I can't really help with the staying power thing...thats one of the things I like about lustres, that I can just apply them whenever, in the car, etc...no need to be super neat or use lipliner with it.

Thanks again for the help. Do you like RD on you?

Thank you for going out of your way to help me. I just saw this after I posted the last thank you. I really like this & it looks especially nice on you! I think lip swatches make it easier to picture how it may look on me. ENABLERS!!! :shock:

Theres a picture right there above this post wearing it...

I do like it...its more on the peachy side for me than orange and its a little bit cooler toned than most shades in that range of color so I can pull it off...

normally orangey tones make me look sick but I can do peach....if paired with a peachy blush (it looks really good with Launch Away)...it does take a bit of work to get it non-streaky but its still pretty cute.

Okay, to help my RD curiosity I'm going to wear one of MU lustres this weekend and see if the staying power drives me bonkers (like it usually does). If I make it work this could be bad for me & the HC collx lippies.

I'll be honest. I like the way lustres feel, but staying power? Forget about it. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to talk you into it. I just know how that remorse feels. I hope this weekend helps in your decision process.

I just bought Launch Away & have worn it twice, but I really like it...so hearing that they look together makes me want it more. Ahh.

I'm just giving u guys s--t, after all that's why we are all here. MUAA. Make Up Addicts Anononymous. Trust me, I want to love lustres...that's why I'm trying to make them work.

Am I the only one super excited with the MES? I don’t know..I liked some lipsticks but when I go out at night I hate to keep retouching it, so I think the MES (depending on swatches) would be a better investment =D

wishlits so far:
- Water
- Universal Appeal
- Neo nebula
- Aurora

- Super Nova
- Solar Ray

- Light Year

i had 2 different lists, but now that i've seen swatches, that list has gotten smaller...

 

[duckrodeo]

I might be back on team Cut a Caper. It seems like it may be in between Razzledazzler (more peach than CaC) and Flamingo (more pink than CaC). I just wonder if Ever Hip would be repromoted again, because I am lusting after that one, big time!

 

[Anitacska]

No problem. I have only really worn it once or twice. It goes well with stuff like navy blue eyes...  Flamingo... lemme think. The Viva Glam Nicki isnt too far off from it...

Imo, VG Nicky is nothing like Flamingo. It's much brighter and the finish is completely different.

I am excited for this collection! I love mineralize blushes and msfs. Thanks Yuki for the product photos and swatches!!

 

[Audrey C]

Thanks Audrey, I'll check out Warm Soul. Did you buy Launch Away? Is it too close to Warm Soul, because isn't it kind of peachy???

They're nothing alike. Launch Away isn't peachy on me at all - it goes pink. Warm Soul is almost a bronzer/glowy peach blush cross. It's much browner, although it doesn't look brown on me. I'm really enjoying Warm Soul. I like Launch Away too, but I've been reaching for my coral blushes and bronzers all summer.

I agree with you there...its not a dupe by any means, but i dont buy a lot of colors like that so out of the lipsticks I had, it was one of the closer ones.

 

[Audrey C]

Very pretty - it's much closer to a nude on me but my skintone is darker than yours.

Haha! If i know you, you'll go craaaazy with this collection! SUPER good to see you back on here btw! Been missed!

I'm about to cop razzledazzler now, I've been wanting it for a while. Thanks for letting us know.

Thanks! Too bad it's only available in the US.

I am getting impatient waiting for this collection!

I am getting impatient waiting for this collection!

Yeah me too =/ I'm more impatient to see other swatches so I can decide what I really want

 

[Mac-Guy]

Tx Naynadine!! I'm not interested in Stratus anymore. From the swatches it appears brown. I want a freaking lavender(ish), lilacy or purpley blush darnit!
However, am in love with Supernova. I'm still debating on it. I may just stick to my "no buy" rule until the Fall/Winter collections. More money saved for me and more products for the rest of you. LOL.

If you get a Stratus with little brown/beige, it will swatch much more purple (see my post a few pages back). It might take some effort to find a Stratus with a lot of purple, but IMO, it's well worth the time and energy to find the perfect swirl.
