Agree to both. I'm NC35/30 and unless I use a light hand and buff like I mean it, I can see the cast on my face. I won't be using it as a highlighter, maybe just on bare skin every once in a while. I like sniffing it, though. lol! BPs always smell so niiice to me.
DA is like a matte version of Lime Crime's Glamour 101 on me, and CIS is just slightly brighter than DA on me as well. SI was the same as my Apfel version, so that's a plus. Overall I'm most pleased with having another Scarlet Ibis and DA.

off topic, but I love your hair color!!!My MM FOTD!!
LG with Beet Liner (PERFECT match... a must-have if you have LG!)
TPC w/ FM BP lightly layered on top (TPC is nice, I don't have any of the dupes, so I'm glad I got it. The BP is NOT a must-have in my opinion on NC30/35. It wore VERY light and very close to ashy. I'll give it another try, but it wasn't a "wow" highlighter shade like Light Year is for me. I had to layer LY on top of FM to get rid of the ashiness. And I didn't overapply FM either.)
PB e/s on my lids, Moleskin to warm the crease, Showgirl e/s layered over Moleskin in crease and outer v. (The shadows are nice and the packaging makes them worth it for me, but they are absolutely dupable shades.)
Blacktrack Fluidline
Fascinating e/k on lower lashline and inner corner

First off, I love every single lipstick! I didn't take pictures of my swatches because there isn't enough light, and there's already plenty of great swatches posted. I did take a picture of my box. I moved the black tissue paper to find the lipsticks all lined up. I didn't arrange them that way. That's exactly how they looked on their own. I don't know why that tickles me so much!
I
Love Goddess. It pulls more pink on me (
) and is actually really close to Chanel Palpitante. I did a side by side comparison on my lips. Palpitante's formula feels better on my lips and has more sheen than Love Goddess. Palpitante is also a smidge more red, so they're not exactly the same. Revlon Cherries in the Snow is another close color, but Cherries in the Snow has a smidge more fuchsia. I'm very happy with Love Goddess because it's a lot more red than my other deep pinks (Moxie and Girl About Town), but still more pink than Palpitante.
Scarlet Ibis is a beautiful orange-red. I'm so happy to finally have this lipstick. Not much else to say from what's already been said. The color is just like Sail La Vie, but the matte finish makes a big difference in my book. I also compared it to Chanel Incandescente out of curiosity. Incandescente is definitely a red-orange and isn't matte, so that makes it too different from Scarlet Ibis for me.
Ooooo Charmed I'm Sure! It's such a great looking red. Plus the matte finish too. Love it. It is not the same as Runaway Red on me. Aside from the sheen of its satin finish, Runaway Red is definitely darker. I have the Runaway Red from Mac Me Over. Not the one from Shop/Cook, so I don't know if that makes a difference.
Deeply Adored is a lovely deep red. I agree that the color is like Rocker on me, except Rocker has the glitter flecks. I'm happy about that because it's a great I-mean-business power red. I like having a version of the color without glitter for more options. Surprise, surprise --> Deeply Adored is also the matte version of my Runaway Red! That I didn't expect. I also compared Deeply Adored to Chanel Pirate, and was further surprised to find that Pirate is actually closer match to Charmed I'm Sure.
It should be noted that there's something a little extra special about the Chanel lipsticks. The colors are more complex and not as flat as MAC when I do my side by side comparisons. But they're part of my lipstick stash along with Revlon, so I compare everything I have to see what's similar.

I'm glad you like all of the lipsticks! I'm also glad that LG pulls more pink on you. It does the same on me and that's why I like it. Scarlet Ibis is noticeably different on me than SLV, but I prefer the texture of SI much, much more. I keep telling people there is nothing like a Chanel lipstick.First off, I love every single lipstick!

It's almost 4pm here and no sign of the UPS truck - once that box is on my doorstep I'ma snatch it up and get right to swatching! I have Pink Fusion, so I will def do a comparison! Sometimes my UPS deliveries come after 7pm. I hope the driver is earlier today!!! For anticipation's sake lol.
Thank you so much! The other comparison swatch I was hoping to see was deeply adored and viva glam 1....do you happen to have both of those lipsticks?

MAC really is twisted, they totally know how to f*ck with our heads lol. We spend precious sleeping time stalking the website waiting to spend money on products we may or may not love/hate. Yep, we're suckers.

I hope they put it up over the weekend for you PeachTwist. MAC is twisted in some ways. They know how crazy us addicts get, so why keep us waiting? Good luck!

Do you guys mean Fusion Pink? I'm not sure if "Pink Fusion" could be a different lipstick. I have Fusion Pink and it's nothing near Love Goddess. It's pink and brighter, more like Moxie for reference. Love Goddess is red with hints of pink. The previous swatches posted of Love Goddess and Moxie should give you an idea of the difference.

Yes, Fusion Pink lol. I was actually just looking through my stash and pulling out lipsticks to compare once my Marilyn box arrives - I have my MAC's alphabetized and was like "Where's Pink Fusion??! I know I have it!" Then I realized it's Fusion Pink lol.
