My Rose Popillia came in today! It's so gorgeous I'm thrilled I was able to get it after thinking I missed it! Duochrome shadows are my favorite and it's so rare for a luxury brand to do them, I usually only find good strong ones from small companies like Fyrinnae (another favorite). I can't wait to wear this tomorrow I think it's going to be a frequently used shade for me. It's still available on Nordstrom.com if anyone's looking

I just ordered mine today! I'm planning on picking up the 609 lipstick and another ETK when I get paid.

That's great news!
Once my pay packet arrives, I'm ordering it

I want to try it. Wonder how it compares to Chanel and NARS cream compact. It will be launched at my counter in October. I was at the counter and finally saw the fall collection and Lip maestro. Rouge Ecstasy is not available as I expected. I had Rose Popillia in my list but came back with Scarab Violetta. The eye and face palettes were very pretty, especially the blushes. But I don't wear the eye colours often enough so I passed.

Somehow ended up picking up my third Rouge Ecstasy yesterday- Diva. I also got a little mini (soooooooo cute) of 400. I'm wearing Attitude again today- it's become my go-to Fall lipstick, since it's one of the few formulas that doesn't leave my lips parched in my horrific office air.
My counter has actually sold out of close to half the colours already (I got the last Diva), although the shades are all permanent, they're not sure when they'll be getting reinforcements. We're supposed to be getting a new Armani counter in Montreal any day now, so I hope they're well stocked!

Could you describe the color of Attitude for me? I'm having a hard time going by online swatches and I'd love to pick one of these up

Rose Popillia is gorgeous. I love the textures of these and I feel like I could layer it over several different colors to get a different effect. Armani is coming dangerously close to taking most of my October makeup budget. I'm considering looking into the foundations too, as the NARS one I've been testing is settling into my pores.

It's a medium-deep red violet. Leans more purple than red, but it has enough of a red tone to it to make workable for warmer skin tones.
I'm actually on my third day in a row of wearing my Rouge Ecstasy lippies. Monday was Attitude, yesterday was Dolci and today is Diva. I'm having way too much fun with them.

That sounds incredible. My skin is starting to rebel against the fall weather, so some comfortable lipsticks would be amazing. Attitude sounds perfect for me. I'll check it out when I stop by the Armani counter on Saturday. Either way, I'm definitely getting 609 in the other formula. I can't stop thinking about that color!

609 is one of my very favourite lipsticks. One of the ultimate Fall colours for certain.

That's great! It's looked great on everyone I've seen wear it, and I've gotten to really love vampy colors. I'm pretty convinced I'll pick up Attitude too. Since I usually buy all my makeup online, it's going to be hard not to pick up extra things will all of the pretties there in person.

I'm tempted by that one too! I found a swatch here:

I really wish bloggers would build up their swatches a bit so I could see what it looks like opaque

Thank you!
Yes, I saw that swatch too and the sheer application is the reason why I have not yet placed an order.
If it is really that sheer I' d rather skip it.

I'm going to the Armani counter this weekend and I'll check it out and let you know. If it's sheer, it's also a skip for me. If it's buildable into an opaque lip, I'm still interested in getting it.

Great...thank you very much
I am with you.I only want it if it is buildable to full opacity.

No problem! I wish I could go sooner, but it's about an hour's drive to, well, any makeup counters, which includes Armani. As long as the SAs don't mind, I'll get swatches of a lot of the darker shades, as those tend to be the ones that are sheerer in these types of formulas.Great...thank you very much

Wow, that is quite far away.But I hope that you will enjoy the trip!
It would be awesome if you could swatch all the dark colors
