I love how Eclair just glides on. Very smooth. Lavender whip was creamy and raspberry swirl felt kind of dry but after 2nd layer was creamy.

Can any WOC direct me to modeling pics of Pure Decoration? I gotta hit up my Nordies SA tonight for my order. I guess I'll try LW, but that might be it.

Just got my Eclair PP and LW lippie. Lavender Whip is pretty. On my hand it swatched more lavender than pink. Hopefully it will do the same when I apply it on my lips. Eclair is very pretty. It really, really reminds me of Coco Beach and Chocolate Brown pigments though. I need to pull those out to swatch them next to Eclair.
I always wanted Coco Beach pigment

Lauren's swatches: http://laurenclarkmakeup.blogspot.com/2013/04/mac-baking-beauties-swatches.html I am so tempted to pick up RS and the beauty powders...I know RS is going to sell out but I just can't make up my mind.

I just ordered Mall Madness today.  I love taking my time deciding...hate being pressured.
RS is almost exactly like Saint Germain when I swatched them. I wasn't a fan of the color + cremesheen texture on the lips. I thought RS looked really similar to SG but someone said they were nothing alike but I don't know what they were smoking ;p It got here and I could only barely tell the difference when swatched. Mostly just an opacity difference on the lips and RS looks a liiiiiittle lighter. If you like cremesheens and SG then you might love it. I still prefer SG and wish I didnt order it tbh!

I just got pink buttercream today. I really wanted those brushes but just couldn't justify the expense right now + there are a couple of sephora brush sets I'm hoping go to clearance. Anybody who was looking for these, they're up on clarins website but they're not these colors, maybe this was a pic of last year's colors.

RS looks on me like saint germaine or lady gaga 1; however, I love it because of it's formula. LW reminds me of buddling love, and a little darker then pink popcorn.

i am wondering that too. How close is it to cozy up
Cozy Up is yellower and less white-based pastel. I'd say it's closest to Playing Koi, although PD has a teeeeeeny touch more yellow in it. I didn't get it because it was close enough to PK for my taste, and I've got plenty of PK to last me. Cozy Up is a color that's more flattering on me for more of the year anyway- Playing Koi looks good on me only when I'm at my palest, when my skin is the most neutral color without extra yellow in it, so late winter/early spring mostly….but when it looks good, it looks great, so I like it a lot even still - just didn't need PD as a semi-BU.

Girls! I really try NOT to SHOUT this out with the RUNAWAY euphoria I feel but ....REVLON'S JUST BITTEN KISSABLE BALM STAIN IN "DARLING CHERIE" adds just the right touch of "Je ne sais quoi?" that will indescribably intensify the lavender-lilacness of your lippie with a Show Orchid-esque flash of sophisticated blue/periwinkle duochrome! Seriously, i find that this lovely chubby lippie gives so much shimmering/luminosity to any lavender lippie i own-just a refined very pretty finish that engenders a smooth glass like look.
Now i will say that although is permanent to the line- i don't always find it in great abundance- but it is a sealed item so when you do find it -it is always a go purchase!
I'd be less than truthful if i did not reveal i literally have in excess of 12 backups- mind you I have a daughter whose "Spidey Palms" tends to latch onto a few every time she says she is borrowing one

MACjunkie give this a try and see if you don't blink back in amazement! good luck
I have bee wearing this a lot lately. It looks the way I wanted the Archie's Girls DLG l/s to look on me.

I agree I only ordered it cuz I thought people were saying it was different than SG but to me they look very similar and I'm not a SG fan to begin with it requires too much work to be wearable on me
