So Chaud Not at like DLG. DLG is definitely more purply. It's bright, but it's GORGEOUS!!!

They are almost the exact same colour, with TT being a bit darker. And of course the finish is different. If you missed out on TT, get ablaze and add a bit of gloss, unless you want it matte ;) Ablaze pencil is a bit darker, but unless you're one that needs matching pencils, you can get away with using LS. It's just a bit lighter and a slightly different shade. Heroine is definitely more purple than than magenta, which is more, well, magenta. And yes, the textures are WAAAY different! Heroine is smooth and buttery, magenta is most definitely not that! No kidding! I had a back injury years ago that kept me from working for 4 years. I couldn't even stand for more than 10 minutes without doubling over in pain. Never officially diagnosed it (took those entire 4 years to find a fix) but i take a muscle relaxer (usually given to people with MS or spinal cord injuries) every day. I've been on it for 7 years now and i haven't had a single twinge of pain! You wouldn't believe all the tests and treatments i underwent! Back to EM, it is most definitely different than DLG. There's obvious purple in DLG that isn't in EM at all!
Oh thank you thank you. I totally derped on that lol. SC looks a lot like my beloved SLV.

Yeah, I've experienced the streaking as well which I'm sure no one is a fan of, esp. at that price point.

Heroine np is taunting me. Based off of the promo pics, it's not really what i was expecting. Do you think you'll take the plunge?
It's sitting in my cart. I'm back and forth on it. But, it is such a pretty color......GAHH! It's taunting me! LOL!!

Omg Ablaze ls looks so awesome! :drool: So glad I got it. I have nothing like it. Closest is Pa Pa and thats not even close! I'm super scared of trying orange lips. So I'm glad that it has a tinge of red in it. And my purple loving self is excited for heroine! Still got Silly on the mind. We'll see when it comes out everywhere else. And thank you Erin for telling me to get ablaze! I'm so excited :hug:

Great - how are you?  Yes that does help.  You know how I am about purples so I think I'll still be stalking.  However Violetta has faint shimmer which I love... I was wondering the same thing.  It looks like a more opaque version.  I love RIS so I don't think I'll mind too much.
I wouldn't mind either I love RIS so no complaints here when I get mine I'm gonna swatch em and see

They are close but no dupes.  Violetta has a pretty blue undertone to it that you don't get from Herione and then the finish is also different.  I have them both plus Strong Woman and I would never part with either of them.
Exactly!!!
I wonder how Ablaze e/s compares to MAC's Rule e/s.
I think it's gonna lie right in between coral (pro) and rule. Even after looking at that swatch.

Same here. haha...we need to practice more restraint. you did well this time! I remember looking over natural when I bought Beige which is the only one I own so far, but I wanted to try that one first. I'll probably pick some more up along with some liners in the near future.

Oooh! I love the look of this NP too!
Lol definitely! Ill practice buying makeup more efficiently! And I always look for beige and it's never in stock when I go! So frustrating !! I think I need to pay a visit to Ulta soon :) and I'm drooling over silly's nail polish ! I'm going to he tot in stores, it's too pretty to skip

Well my missing out on ablaze isn't as horrible as I thought. I have lady at play and while they're a different finish it still looks pretty much the same according to T. I might try to get it eventually. All these colors r gorgeous but w my now formidible collection pretty easily dupes. Kinda takes the fun out a little lol but it is cheaper. I'm loving the swatches. I hope everyone receives their orders promptly and w no problems.
