Yall forgive me if this has already been posted, but Revlon's Va Va Violet is damn near identical to Instigator! Top swatch is VVV, bottom is Instigator.

@Trigger - Are you asking me about contouring? I wasn't sure because you quoted someone else, but it looks like you may have meant to quote me. I don't really contour. It still seems like an advanced step for me.

But I use Chanel Notorious when I do contour. It's like a neutral taupe color. I think MAC came out with a similar color if I'm not mistaken, but I don't know the name. I think NYX may have a color as well.

Taupe Shape - even better on me than Notorious, which is a bit deep and harder to blend. Notorious is amazing, though. I'm a little too fair to use it for a contour with the PC lippies, though. It'd be too strong. I like Notorious when it's the focal point of the look, with a nude lip like Restrict or Feed the Senses or brownish like Exclusive Event or Posh Tone and simple eyes.

On my lips, they're the same darkness, but AP is much more blue-based. AP is a lot lighter in a hand swatch than applied to the lips, I've found.

I like Instigator as a stain on me even more than straight from the tube. SK's stain is to die for too.

I love Taupe Shape. I wish I had brought it with me. I need a rereleare of Restrict!!!!

I missed Notorious but I am sure I would be way to pale to contour with it.

So what do you guys think about Cyber or Smoked Purple? Ive been wanting to get either one of these lippies for the longest. What do you think about the formulas? Are they worth getting?

Taupe Shape! That's the name of the blush. I remember it being mentioned as a dupe for Notorious.

You all look so great in your lippies! I'm still getting over this cold and my lippies won't be here until Thursday. I hope my lips are in better shape by then.

So I've been putting on my lippies daily, testing them out and I'm not sure I'm sold on Instigator. It's a lot darker on me than TTT, almost a reddish black. Totally wasn't expecting that. It's definitely a color I've never worn before so maybe I just need to get used to it. I'm wearing it again over the next few days to see how it goes. Haute Couture is so awesome and universal. It looks great alone, mixed with other colors and great under various glosses. Punk Couture is bad ass! And literally a 10 year old girl stalked me around the Pandora store to pull me to the side and whisper in my ear, "I like your lipstick, it's badass." I was so shocked but happy! She had spunk. Her mom was getting her her first Pandora bracelet for her birthday which is next week (a fellow Capricorn like me) so I brought her a charm just because! She was so stoked! Hopefully I converted her and this was the first step in her becoming a lipstick addict! LOL I digress, sorry! I'm wearing Studded Kiss today to see how it goes; will let you all know how that fares but so far I'm loving all these lippies. totally worth the wait.

If it smells like plastic crayons, I think your lippie has gone bad. I had a tube of Razzledazzler lipglass that smelled like that only after a month. I returned it and got a refund. I don't know if still using it is harmful to you or not, but I just couldn't deal with the smell. Yea it smells exactly like that :( I can't deal with the smell either . I had it in my stash for awhile so it must have gone bad. Taupe Shape! That's the name of the blush. I remember it being mentioned as a dupe for Notorious.

Somebody mentioned about comparing SK with Just A Bite (from the 2013 Fall Collection). Here are some pictures, one without flash and one with flash. Just A Bite is darker.
