Allllll right! I got my Marilyn goodies last night and just now got a chance to upload some pics and swatches!


The goods:



Aaand the lipsticks!!!

Here's some comparisons
Left to Right: CoverGirl Tempt - Rimmel Kate Moss 06 - Revlon Cherry Blossom (Shanghai collection - LE) - Full Fuchsia - Moxie - Love Goddess - Fusion Pink - Lustering........Then we have Scarlet Ibis - Sail La Vie - Revlon Red Lacquer (Shanghai collection - LE).

So the closest dupe for Love Goddess would be Full Fuchsia. FF is a smidge more pink and has a different shine being that it's amplified. Love Goddess has just a touch of red but otherwise, they're similar enough where if you absolutely love Love Goddess for its color, Full Fuchsia is permanent at PRO stores, so snatch it up! (Thanks and shout out to Purplerinne for CPing at her PRO store for me, and getting me Full Fuchsia!
Moxie is bolder and definitely more watermelony than Love Goddess.
That being said, I love Love Goddess and since I've been wearing Full Fuchsia so much, I'm glad to add LG into the mix!

Scarlet Ibis swatches included just because. I didn't purchase a Marilyn version, but I just got the two Revlon Shanghai collection lipsticks and thought I would include those in as a comparison. I think Cherry Blossom would also be a great drugstore dupe for LG. It's a little sheer, but you definitely get the pink aspect of it.


Runaway Red (old) - Rimmel Kate Moss 10 - Ruffian Red - Charmed, I'm Sure - Russian Red - Red Racer ............ Rimmel Kate Moss 11 - Rimmel Kate Moss 09 - Rimmel Kate Moss 01 - Deeply Adored - Rocker - Dubonnet

Runaway Red (old) - Rimmel Kate Moss 10 - Ruffian Red - Charmed, I'm Sure - Russian Red - Red Racer ............ Rimmel Kate Moss 11 - Rimmel Kate Moss 09 - Rimmel Kate Moss 01 - Deeply Adored - Rocker - Dubonnet



I feel Rocker pulls more burgundy on me than Deeply Adored does. DA has more of a balance between the red and the purple, and it appears more complex and multi-dimensional of a shade.

Charmed, I'm Sure is definitely blue-toned and it seems a little more pink than Runaway Red. I still love my Ruffian Red and Red Racer for my "go-to" red shades, but Charmed, I'm Sure is a lovely addition nonetheless.

Came home from dinner with my sister. I asked for my son to change into his pajamas while I talked to my DH. Went to take my darling child to bed and he's covered in beautiful orange-red lipstick. When I say covered, I mean it. Yes, it was the Scarlet Ibis. Before it became body paint (and carpet art), it looked incredible on me. It's kind of a more subdued, user-friendly, version of So Chaud. No, I didn't back it up. Yes, there is some left, but it's pretty chewed up looking. I can use a brush...maybe. No, I haven't killed my son - or his father. Yes, someone will be selling a kidney to get me another one.... Yes, I have pictures but, out of respect for some of you with more delicate natures, I won't post them. Those of you with small children, be warned. Your makeup table is not safe.

Totally OT but I was with my nephews today and while we were not looking at them, Isaac took my brand new Nars velvet pencil in my handbag! My brother saw him just in time, he had opened it and was ready to draw with it! Whew, saved the lipstick! lol

seriously, reading the replies here, I don't know why some counters allowed to take pre order , some don't. all i wanted is just the beauty powder and a lipstick

I kind of believed the manager (south center nordstorm) I talked to have been giving me lame excuses.

Actually , I placed the pre order 3 weeks ahead (was there today in the center, just checking about the status, whether they have started on holding), was informed that order cancelled. !@!@#@@#$$$%$, she blamed that on the staff , who wasn't a regular staff and blah, blah, blah.She said it was a company policy, no pre order was allowed for this collection (who is also the same person who told me they only took pre order for certain period and stopped).
So, it is alright to let people who placed pre order (within the right time) to get their order, while me if I did not follow up today, I probably would only be in great shock in the release day that my pre order placed 3 weeks ago is invalid and no products placed on hold for me.
silly, the way this manager handling issue and her "customer service' is quite a disappointment; if not because of bad feeling for the 'new" staff who placed the order for me, i would have blown up, right on the face of this manager. poor management, you are not making customer feel satisfied about the result, but feeling lousy management.

Oh no...this is seriously one of my biggest fears. I have two young daughters and I keep all of my makeup in a storage container that has 5 drawers in my closet and when I am not home I lock my bedroom door. I am so worried that one day one of my much loved lippies will suffer the same fate. Well luckily you were able to salvage some of it.

Will have to get that one day. I haven't tried any of NARS's lip products yet.

MAC Fan 1: They cancelled your pre-order?! That really sucks! The manager should have done better with customer service and should have let you preorder the items that you wanted. My Nordstrom counter, MAC Store/Counter will not do preorders because of very limited quantities.
