Comparison Swatch from my blog post on Love Goddess (left) and Moxie (right)

Hmmm maybe thats y Ive never given Love Goddess a second thought... It has absolutely NOTHING on Moxie which I own... Moxie is vivid where L G seems dull for my tastes...

My Moxie is very vivid to and Love Goddess is buildable into an intense colour. The finishes definitely contribute to the differences in these lippys

Just tried my Moxie and Love Goddess and must report that THEY ARE BOTH AWESOME!!!!

I tried on Moxie first and almost ran to my computer to buy like 3 more backups, but then I was like "whao there sister, how about trying on one of the 2 Love Goddesses you bought before upping your stash of pinky-red lippies to ridiculous proportions" (that was me talking to myself). So I tried on Love Goddess, and Lo and Behold.....
ALSO AWESOME. Very similar, it's true, but like Princess Sarah just said, it's all in the finish. Moxie reads a bit pinker, brighter and with more flourescence on me, and Love Goddess appears much more tame somehow. I have a feeling that I will wear them in tandem, like put on Moxie before going out, and then carry LG with me to "top up" throughout the day (since layering mattes over dried up layers of older matte l/s is all kinds of bad on me).

Bottom line: I am glad I have 2 LGs and I think I may have to go to Back Up town and nab a few more Moxies.......

Dude, are those dancing rainbow hot dogs moving at warp speed or is it just me?

I thought those were bananas, LOL! And yes, they're dancing so fast they make my eyes hurt.

So, my Marilyn story has a happy ending!

Everything was sold out release day at the counters/stores when I called. But my Dillard's counter got a shipment in today for their Marilyn event!

I ridiculously waited for an hour outside the store and phoned in my order 15 minutes before it opened.

I am now the proud owner of the beauty powder, the Perfect Cheek, Love Goddess, Deeply Adored and Charmed, I'm Sure!

I don't know if they have sold out yet -- there were maybe seven or eight people there right after the store opened. It's the MAC counter at Dillard's in Arlington, Texas -- 817-784-6873.

Very nice you were able to get what you wanted after all!

Your haul is almost identical to mine, the one more thing i bought was SI (missed out on the Iris Apfel collection earlier).
Enjoy your goodies!

I wanted to take a minute to say how awesome specktra ladies are. I had mentioned that I have been waiting and waiting and waiting for a NP from UK and 3 people pmed me offering to either sell me theirs or CP for me. I have one on it's way but am not getting any back ups since I do have a friend living in the UK who has been combing the stores for me these past 3 months. If she never finds one I will be okay with the bottle I am getting from a fellow specktra member! Thank you all so much for being awesome

Same here except I got Legendary instead of TPC. I'll have four lippies, a blush, and the bp once it all gets here lol.

You almost got me. I was this close to calling. I'm practicing my willpower. ha.... But I did call back my Belks and purchased the last BP so I have a BU.

Supercoolstephy · Oct 11, 2012

I know I only bought one lipstick from this collection, but I did try them on and swatched them and I'm still certain that Pure Zen is my favorite. I'm glad that its Permanent.

MissTT · Oct 11, 2012

DA wears so well on me. I'm glad I added it to my order. I will post this in the Clearance Bin as well, but does anyone want to swap a Love Goddess for a Deeply Adored?

Do they ship to other states if I called & ordered something?

gorjess678 · Oct 11, 2012

Yesterday I watched a documentary about Marilyn. In the end of the 3rd part and the beginning of the 4th they show and talk about a photoshoot. I think the packaging pictures are from this photoshoot. The first shot of the 4th part has the blush picture.

From what I understand and think these pictures show Norma Jeane's real feelings better than the more famous pictures. I actually can really appreciate that about them.

Thank you for posting these videos! I will definitely check it out when I have time this weekend. Definitely makes the packaging all the more special

That's so cool. I actually read Marilyn's biography a couple of months ago and I really enjoyed it. She was such an interesting person!

I had placed an order of "Love Goddess" with Nordstrom and finally it got cancelled

. That's the only one I wanted and couldn't get it at the store at 10 pm on release date as well. If anyone has an extra they don't want and are willing to CP, I would be grateful.
