I also think we'll see some similar colours so I'm not slitting my wrists just yet

I was initially surprised it went so quickly because it's not a super original or striking shade but then I realised that's precisely why it sold out as quickly as it did. A gently flattering and relatively tame colour like AC is likely to appeal to a much broader audience.

While it is great to have a range of statement colors in your stash, most people tend to wear more neutral tones on an every day basis.

That moment when you almost drop your SR......... My heart almost stopped! This is why I BU MSF.
I dropped my SR yesterday. The product didn't break put a piece fell out of the compact. The compact still closes snuggly but I couldn't get the piece back in w/o taking the entire compact apart. I just left well enough alone.

I already have my Amber Glow and Winter Pursuit - both are gorgeous

Winter Pursuit looks great with Gareth Pugh Obscura shadow in the crease

Not only does it appeal to a lot of people, but when you think about how really strong or pastel colors have been pushed for a few years now, a soft color like AC is "new" again. A few years ago, people might have thought "Grandma Color" about it, but fashion is what it is!

I really would like to get 2 of the mineralize lip balms but do not know which? Any woc with pigmented lips could give me suggestions?
The mineralize lip balm give me 0 color. But still I bought two of the same- pure and tender because it feels good on the lips not sticky. I chose the colors that looked pretty in the tube due to the non color pay off. I like the coral looking one too but passes as I have so many lippies that color. Oh!the deeper plum shade did yield a slight tint....

Hot chocolate is pretty. Thanks Cartoon Chic. I love it. It looks great with Small Vanity blush as well.
Don't forget about your nails PrettyGirlDoc. Butter London's 'TOFF' nail polish is gorgeous with Hot Chocolate. BTW, that too is a recommendation from CC!

Sowing the seeds of fatal NP addiction, I see?

As if there aren't enough lost causes on the NP thread!

Amber Glow is very gentle - like invisible on the face, but face beaming thanks to him; my precious

I really like Amber Glow. It's almost invisible--someone here described it as a the perfect "no makeup" blush (for warm light skin tones). It adds some glow, but not as much as a mineralized skin finish. Very natural, healthy-looking and pretty if you have the coloring to work with.

I don't have Obscura, but I do have another shadow that WP looks beautiful with! Wore WP on the lid with Antiqued in the crease the other day and fell head over heels in love. Some Sunbasque blush with Whisper of Gilt to highlight on the cheeks, Morning Coffee PLW liner all over the lip with Power Supply plushglass on top, and I found a new look to add to my favorites list!

Dang, you guys, reading this thread keeps resurrecting my Amber Glow lemming--pleaze stop nao.

Is there a lipliner that will make my Hot Chocolate less mauve and more chocolicious (brown). My natural lip color is light, rosy pink...
