Here's my (first ever) attempt at swatches! The quality isn't great, but please forgive me.

Top Left: Outrageously Fun (Left) Daddy's Little Girl (right)
Top Right: (From Left to Right) Charmed I'm Sure, Ronnie Red, Russian Red, MAC Red
Bottom Left: Play it Proper Beauty Powder (Left) Veronica's Blush Pearlmatte (Right)
Bottom Right: (From Left to Right) MAC Red, Ronnie Red, Outrageously Fun, Daddy's Little Girl

I tried to swatch Play it Proper vs Veronica's Blush, but it didn't show up well enough to photograph. As I mentioned earlier, you can see that Play it Proper is a little pinker and deeper in color. Veronica's Blush is lighter and seems more silver to me.
I also think that Outrageously Fun and Daddy's Little Girl actually look more similar in person than in this picture. I think because Daddy's Little Girl is more opaque it is showing up darker. I will say that prefer the finish of Daddy's Little Girl to that of Outrageously Fun.

Hmmm... the products look very nice! Although I am not an Archie fan (I prefer japanese manga as my comics), I am really tempted by everything.

Does anyone feel like Temptalia expects all make up to be *bam* crazy pigmented in one stroke? I feel like many people benefit from the so called "dryness" and sheerness of make up, which makes it more wearable for people. I wonder if she thinks of anything that doesn't have sheen as dry? I really like MAC for how wearable everything is. With a good base, you could always build up to full pigmentation as well. If i want crazy pigmentation, I reach for Sugarpill. However, for day to day wear, I like my make up to look appropriate, flattering and wearable due to versatility of the products, which is why I love MAC. Full pigmentation is not for everyone and doesn't necessarily make it the best product. I just needed to put that out there... lol People automatically write off a product, because temptalia says so. However, I often find myself loving products she reviewed poorly. Products also look very different on me compared to her. She gave the betty quad a really poor review, but I feel like it is something I would really love. I am skipping Archie, because I just bought a white limited edition ps3, so I will live through everyone's hauls! lol

I agree. I think she has her own idea of what good makeup is and many people have the same idea but it's true that crazy pigment is not for everyone. I remember she gave the Evil Eye palette an F and I love it. LOVE IT. Next time I go to the CCO I'm getting another one.

I am NC15 and almost all T's color reviews are the opposite for me, I got the Caramel Sundae and it works for me. Maybe you could check it out in person.

I very much like her style of reviewing, but I think it's impossible to entirely separate yourself from what looks good on you. If you look at the swatches with the review, it actually looks like a palette that would work really well on a very fairly skin tone- softer, more natural colours that (from the pics) apply very smoothly and evenly and give a more subtle look. I think this could work for a lot of fair-toned ladies.

It's so great that they restocked super fast this time. I hope everyone can get what they want.

Restocked already?? I'm still gonna wait for next Thursday in case I get rehired by Macys. I'm very tempted to order some stuff now though.

Yay! Glad I was able to pick up DLG. I had skipper's remorse after seeing all the beautiful swatches. It's a beautiful shade so I can put aside my qualms about the name lol (much like Fresh Salmon)
