Thank youuuuu allthingsglam!!! I actually got mines yesterday with the cremesheen glasses, which I like too. I'm waiting to see you in yours! You know, I really like NO... It's that color that makes a statement you know? Thanks again :frenz:
That looks seriously great on you Pretty Honeybee!finally got around to trying on NO today.
Thank you JenniBeee73!! Did you get NO?That looks seriously great on you Pretty Honeybee!
I didn't actually. I have the Clinique chubby stick in Heftiest Hibiscus which, to me looks very similar. It's very bold for me. I do like the color but I'm just too chicken to wear it more! :lol: It looks great on everyone I've seen it on though which is making me question myself lolThank you JenniBeee73!! Did you get NO?
ahhhhh... One of those colors that's beautiful but you have to be feeling bold to wear it...lol
I'm just such a pansy hahaha I just don't feel like bold colors look as good on me as they do on all you ladies! For example, I have yet to wear FMP outside of my house. It's an amazing lippie but I can't find the right time!ahhhhh... One of those colors that's beautiful but you have to be feeling bold to wear it...lol
thank you liba and medgal for your reviews. there's a chance i may sneak it into my cart with riri lipsticks... the fact is that i couldn't think of any dupes in my collection for the lighter warm greys. and portability....so important. maybe i should try to check it out on my eyes in store though, now that i think about it....I 100% agree with Medgal's analysis!
The AWQ is a little more versatile overall, because there's a little more variety between the shades - nude/mauve/white/black-ish. None of the colors really read "grey" the way all the colors in RS do, though.
The lightest in RS is not as bright as the white in AW, it's a pale grey that is not bright or reflective at all - it makes a really excellent brow bone color for a grey eye look for people who don't look good with a bright or very contrasty color on their brow bone (like me!!!).
I bought both, and I rarely buy quads, because taupe (AW) and grey (RS) are the two colors that are super fussy for me around my eyes and usually look too cool. If you're trying to save money, have typographic and some other greys you like already, you probably can skip RS, but if you love grey and are always bummed because they never look that good on you for being too cool, the RS will be really satisfying. I basically feel like I don't need any more grey shadows at all now - my needs are being taken care of.
Seriously STOP It! Gorgeous! :bouquet:finally got around to trying on NO today.
Thank you Erine!!!! Lol.. I remember reading a post where you said it was a color you always loved. I'm really digging it ;-)
I don't know which I love more...NO on you or your gorgeous dimple!finally got around to trying on NO today.
I got my AAO goodies yesterday! My cp arrived together with my Mac order, so I got everything at once. I'm in love with the blushes! Honey Jasmine is similar to Modern Mandarin and I guess you can say Ripe For Love is similar too, but RFL is pinker and MM has a stronger sheen. Also when I hold MM against HJ it seems like HJ has some slight brown tones which do make it different as well. Royal Sunset is a lot pinker than Immortal Flower, Cream Soda, etc. It is similar in colour, but lighter than Hipness. It's so pretty!
I'm really glad I BUed Sushi Kiss. It will be great when I go for blue, turquoise or green eyeshadows. In fact all lippies will go well with blue, turquoise and green shadows and those just happen to be my favorite eyeshadow colours. Sweet & Sour is a nude with a peach tint on me and it's actually a nude I like! I also got Tart & Trendy and that's a big winner and I think I want a BU of that too. It's a very wearable orange. I might get Tangerine Dream as well when I get a BU of T&T. Here is me wearing Tart & Trendy and Honey Jasmine.

Thanks for the tip. I have yet to try my S&S, so I'll keep that in mind!
Thank you MACina...beautiful, Pinkdollface!
Thank you for all the comparisons!!!
:jawdrop: even more proof that tart & trendy is AMAZiNG! You wear it well :eyelove:I got my AAO goodies yesterday! My cp arrived together with my Mac order, so I got everything at once.

Frivole is my faaavorite blush; it's my go-to daytime color and when I don't know what else to put on my cheeks. Looking forward to swatching the two against each other tomorrow; even if they're super close, it's nice to have a cheaper backup. Also, seeing my username written out makes me wonder why I chose such a ridiculous one for SpecktraThank you MACinaAnd thanks to everyone else too for the sweet compliments! I actually have one more comparison for Honey Jasmine. I was reminded about Frivole from Chanel thanks to RaymondKurzweil and that's indeed really close. Frivole is just a bit more bright and orange and HJ is a tiny bit lighter, but I think you can skip HJ if you have Frivole, unless you're like me and love orange blushes and want them all! Frivole is one of my favorites actually, so it's nice to have another blush like it, so I don't have to be afraid of running out. Like I will ever run out of blush...I made the mistake of counting as well and I have 66, which is counting regular Mac blushes, mineralize blushes, extra dimension blushes, cremeblend blushes, blush ombres, the large wonder woman and my two Chanel blushes. I also have my summer collection Mac powders, pearlmattes, beauty powders, EDSFs, MSFs, but it's harder to categorize them, since some are borderline blush/highlight.
