If you missed "Moxie" try Dior Lipstick in "Star Fuchsia (766) " ... The finish is a gloss sheen, but it is dead on color wise ...

Lancome's "Posh Pink" matte lipstick is slightly more red-pink , but is also a good dupe...



L to R : Star Fuchsia by Dior, Moxie, Posh Pink by Lancome :

Congrats! You know that's what happened with mine (wrong building, street number and street name) and I had to track it down on foot with the UPS driver in tow. I'm so glad you can enjoy your goodies!

I think eyeshadows just tend to stick around longer in general. People don't buy as many backups or place multiple orders or buy an obscene amount to sell on eBay. Not to say non-lipsticks aren't on eBay, but there's probably a small fraction of scalped shadows per dozen or so lipsticks that wind up on there.

Ok, finally done with review and swatches. Here is the most important swatch picture I think (Don't want to overtake the thread with a huge picture post, haha) I picked this one vs a non flash one because I think with flash really shows how this Moth Brown does have a sort of purple-y tone to it. At least to my eye it does, what do you all think? My arm is a bit lighter than NC15 at the moment!



I wrote out a description of the other colors, because I know some people haven't seen these, and sometimes people's browsers distort colors

MAC Smoke and Diamonds: A silvery, smokey dark grey warmish taupe
Too Faced Lap Dance: A beautiful lighter taupe greyish/purple, that flashes purple like Moth Brown, but is substantially lighter in shade.
Too Faced Unmentionables: A darker grey shade that leans a little taupe.
Rouge Bunny Rouge Delicate Hummingbird: A medium cool toned purple taupe. Has a silvery frost like Moth Brown
Le Metier De Beaute in Corinthian: A very warm, brown taupe that leans burgundy/purple. Really hard to describe this shade! It's sort of similar to Satin Taupe actually.
The Balm The Mistress: True Gunmetal Grey color. <--- I mainly included this one to show off the purple in Moth Brown

ETA: I must say it is also very similar in color to Chanel Illusoire Illusoire D'Ombre, the shade underneath the layer of silver sparkles.

I've been curious about OCC Lip Tars, but I'm hesitant to try them. They seem like they're too advanced for me and require extra work like pigments. I don't want to make a mess.
I love my lip tars! I have about 7 of them. It's easy to apply too much straight out of the tube, so using a brush is the way to go. A little goes a looooooong way. They can probably be used similar to MAC's lip mixes, which are available at Pro stores, but are less expensive. I can't yet attest to a quality or performance comparison between the two as I have not even used my lip mix.

I did the Patina/MB combo again today so I took a picture. It's Patina on the lid, MB in the crease and outer V and UD Polyester Bride to highlight.

No I just used it straight from the tube. I'm sure NYX would def. have something they have so many lip liners in every color!

Oops. I thought I was getting my Styleseeker order today, but it was my By Request shadows instead. Too many black boxes are coming. I'm getting them mixed up. I like all 3 colors. Moth Brown is a purple gray on me, so I'm happy. I think my favorite is Guacamole. That may be because I'm more drawn to green eyeshadow, followed by purple, orange and pink. I would describe Guacamole as an icy green color. I'm wondering if I should get a BU.

I waited too long to order my Inglot shadows and missed the 20% discount. Now I'm waiting for the next code before I place my order.

you might want to wait until you can go to the store in person or call in an order. I made an order on the 12th and a second one on the 16th and still havent recieved a shipping notification for either one. I have emailed them twice and no response.

I haven't placed an online order with them since last Black Friday, but I can't recall receiving a shipping notification. I had to go to their website and check my order status to get the information.

I check the site everyday and it just says "authorized". I'm hoping it just shows up soon and Im stressing about nothing.

I placed an order with Inglot yesterday and they gave me a unique code to use one time to get 30% off because the code BIRTHDAY didn't work at all and I e-mailed them the issue about it and they said it was a system glitch. I have ordered a 5 Eyeshadow Palette with 5 eyeshadows.

Aw! I do hope they will have another sale soon so you don't miss out.

I really dont understand why Inglot is ignoring some emails and not others. Its very frusterating. I ordered two 10 eyshadow palettes and 20 eye shadows. 1 palette the first time and 11 shadows and then the second order a palette and 9 shadows. I had a problem with an order from nordstrom and I called to let them know I had an item missing from an order they said it had to be shipped from a store so it was going to take longer. It still hasnt showed up and I called the first time a week and half ago. I called them today to let them know I still havent recieved it and the girl resent it to me and sent two day shipping for free. I wish all online retailers had good customer service.

I have heard that some people didn't get a response from Inglot at all! It is very frustrating. I do hope everyone does get a response from them soon.
