Awww! Thank you all for the kind words *flutters eyelashes*
I'm very happy with both palettes and I can't pick a favourite. I also love how sleek and compact the packaging is (unlike two certain palettes UD released recently *cough*). Perfect for popping in the makeup bag when going away.
Spoiled Rich scared the hell out of me when I first opened the palette because it looked so dark. It turned out fine though lol. I felt using Feminine Edge with Spoiled Rich really made a difference too. SR looked nice enough on its own, but it was a bit flat. Add FE and boom! It lifted the whole look!

Thanks! Do you find yourself reaching for it on a regular basis?I am around that and I love BS, I wore it to work once and got loads of compliments..)) I didn't use any lip liner with it, just applied from the tube and sheered it out with a finger and done

Depends if I'm the mood for a deeper lip colour, but it's pretty wearable for me for work, well I feel it is lol not sure what customers think
but yeah, I like it and I can see myself reaching for it quite a bit Pinkdollface

Today I did a Betty look. Lucky in Love on the lids dry, Satin Taupe in the crease with Carbon to deepen it, Satin Taupe underneath my eyes and Vanilla as a highlight. I love how versatile Lucky in Love is. It's softer when used dry and when used wet it can be more intense. On my cheeks I'm wearing Cream Soda with Chanel Poudre Signeé as a highlight and on the lips is Betty Bright. Betty Bright is more saturated in real life, but very nice.

NC is warm undertones, right? I always get my NW and NC mixed up lol.
re: Boyfriend Stealer - yes, yes, and YES! Do you have Yung Rapunxel? BS is a sheer, lighter, cooler toned version of YR. I love the Cremesheen finish with dark colours because sometimes matte, satin or amplified darks look to harsh on me for everyday wear. Particularly when the sun's out. Yikes! BS doesn't do that - it looks more like a stain. A bit like what happens when you scoff a big bowl of blackberries with little regard for table manners. I didn't have any problems with patchiness (unlike YR) but I noticed a bit of bleeding as the day drew to a close. Nothing that can't be fixed with a good liner though. I wore Stila Glaze Pencil in Lavender with it but I'm going to use something else next time. No idea what though. Suggestions most welcome!

Oh, you will love it allright! It's a great spring/summer vampy, if there ever is such a thing
I'm wearing Ronnie Red today. Oh me oh my! What a beautiful pinkish red! It's a lot pinker than Absolute Power, which is great because I don't like having lipstick dupes in my collection.

Eek! You should not have said that! I passed on Ronnie Red because it looked redder than AP, but I've panicked and now I have to have it! Ordered it from House of Fraser (missing out on the 10% off from Debenhams, but it's already sold out there). Aaaargh!

Oops! I still stand behind my words though
If you like your pinky reds I think you did the right thing by ordering it, 10% or no 10%. The colour really is beautiful (it's a fresh, summery kind of red) and the texture is divine. It sticks around too! I've had it on for nearly 5 hours now and it hasn't needed touching up (I didn't eat anything apart from some biccies so I don't know if it would survive a proper meal). I hope it gets restocked here - mum would love this colour too.
