I went to see the TT collection in stores and bought more than what I wanted. /no self control
The mattene formula didn't dry me at all and it was quite good with and without a lip balm. I bought Nocturnal Instincts and Seductive Intent (first purple lipstick). I skipped on Night Blooming even though it was a beautiful color, but it seemed the most dupable out the three mattenes. NI is a cool lavender grey that to my surprise looked great on my skintone. I prefer this one over Budding Love lipstick because I don't know what to do with the latter. I don't know how to describe it, but the color of NI felt more natural for me. Seductive Intent was another surprise for me because I usually avoid purple like the plague. It turned out pinky-violet on me which was a bit weird for me because it looks more purple on other people, but I really liked it so I got it before a flock of women went after that color to try it on. I also got Perky lipglass and Unconventional (my first actual blush). The item I was interested the most since the beginning, revenge is Sweet, turned out to be a bit of a let down for me. I didn't mind the sheer color or the pink tones, but I guess I hyped it too much before trying it on.
