All swatches are two swipes.

Seductive Intent. Heroine. Strong Woman
.

Firm Form. Absolute Power. Pink Pigeon. Strong Woman. Party Parrot.





Firm Form is actually wearable on it's own for those into dark lippies. It's not that intense as one would think. It's not inky,oily slick black. You have to build it up to get it super dark. I'm thinking of backing it up and pairing it with Black Swan liner (have to double check if it's lip safe). The only lippie I BU'ed was Strong Woman. I maayyyy check out Apres Chic tomorrow. This collection totally over took my mind and I forgot all about that one.

Dang! I was going to skip Strong Woman but it's so pretty! I'm still debating whether or not I should get Firm Form. I can't see myself wearing it much. I just think it looks fun.

Yes, please. TIA!

Thank you so very much for the swatches Slimmycakes. I'm loving Firm Form and Strong Woman which are the two I plan on getting. Firm Form looks more dark brown than black. I had hoped for a blacker color, but... I'm still getting it and let's see how I can pull it off before whinning about it being a darker color.

strong woman is looking like a darker "Dish it up"

[nudibelle]

Strong woman doesnt look anything like the instagram pic posted awhile back

 

[OctoberViolet]

In that Instagram pic it looks way more blue violet. I would die for a shade like that. Strong Woman looks like a nice deep rose color which is something I've been looking for for awhile now.

Thank you so much for the swatches, Slimmycakes!

They look heavenly!

Same thing I said when I tried it on. It's not that saturated/bright. It's a slightly more subdued Heroine on the lips.

You're welcome for the swatches ladies, hope it helps you solidify your lists.

Yum Yum! Love the kitty DJ at 2:55

Me too lol

 

[liba]

Ok I'll get it...why even try to resist haha

I have many fewer red lipsticks than you do, but I still think this one is upper echelons of gorgeous. You're not going to be disappointed. It's the only one from this collection I'm backing up.

Post one of your awesome photos when you get it!

My pro store started selling Strength and Apres Chic today, so I ordered this:

Taupe Shape blush
Absolute Power lipstick
Party Parrot lipstick (yyyyyyyyyyaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyy!!)
Lasting Sensation lipliner
Rich Experience prolongwear eyeliner
Mountain Air prolongwear eyeliner
Snow Shadow prolongwear eyeliner
Viva Glam Nicki lipstick (can you believe I never tried it?)
Candy Yum Yum lipstick (oh oh sunny d and rum, YUM YUM)

Now I feel bad, I really shouldn't have spent so much, the shipping would have been free if I ordered online! I should receive it tomorrow.

I love red lipsticks so much so it's not like it will ever get wasted. I will definitely post a picture when I get the change. I'm glad you like them

I haven't posted pics in a while, but it's because I don't have a change for it anymore. When I leave for work it's not light enough yet and when I'm back it's completely dark I want summer back or a winter with more sun. It doesn't have to be hot I just want more light during the day and for a longer time.
