Thank you, ladies! I am in love with it! I would BU it if I had the chance. I can only recommend it. It stays on for a few hours and it goes on smoothly (?) and doesn't dry out your lips.

Fiery Impact is definitely redder and more intense, but the colour is similar.

Okay my definite list Enchanted on Mystical And the brush Rg compact I'm fairly sure I'm skipping the blushes, even though they look so pretty in the packaging. I'm not sure I want to try out an ed bronzer. Neither are wowing me, and I don't think they'd get much use. If I stay strong those will also be skipped. This is my final list lol I actually cut it down a lot!

oh thank you so much. ok i have small vanity and i have to go very light handed so i think on my face they will look too similar to that one. i understand the color now as i don't consider that brown but I see why it's photographing that way.Well, it's definitely not pink. But it's not brown either.
Here are a few comparisons. I included Prim & Proper because that's the 'brownest' blush I own, while Early Morning is quite reddish.
Prim & Proper, Small Vanity, SMHM, Fiery Impact, Early Morning, Clinique Black Honey

Great swatches! I think I want SMHM. It looks similar to small vanity which I have been kicking myself for skipping.Ugh - I'm so in love with this collection that I caved and ordered Silver Sun and Sea Worship.
Here's a swatch of Mystical, by the way. My lips aren't very pigmented and Mystical looks like a lighter Glamourdaze on me.
Oh, please don't bother with the picture. Don't know what went wrong during uploading... It's just about the colour.
So pretty! Your lips are very nice!

so wait, silly question:
the ED bronzers are $33 US, and the compact bronzers are ~$27?
for some reason, it is strange to me that the more elaborate compact is less? (even though i know one is permanent and the other is ED) idk!
between the two, do you think AS or golden would work better on someone too fair for mac (nc7ish) and who leans neutral?
the only other bronzers i've owned are laguna (i didn't really like it, really flat on me) and benefit dallas (i liked it, seems a little pinker?)
i don't mind shimmer, but i don't think either option has much...
i'm not really a bronzer person, but i want to try... get some dimension here..
i ended up with 2 giftcards for $40 each- the first is towards two lipsticks, and the second i am debating using for the bronzer or something else (lorelei? silver sun? bronzer? wait for another collection?)
i just got the two proenza blushes, but i don't know much about ED products aside from they look neat in the pan, so i can't tell if i can justify buying another blush.

Yep, that's right. Probably because the regular bronzers are repromotes and ED products just cost more in general.

Thank you, soo much for these swatches! Gotta admit though, kind of sad that AS and Delphic will become skips for me. I really just want a nice highlighter in this packaging! Lol. As of rn, GotS, EO, and Mystical are the only ones on my list. Can anyone recommend a highlighter for NC37-42 (in summer). I'm using lustre drops (Sun Rush) as a highlighter. Thanks again, girly!you're welcome, @nasquiat ! i'm pretty sure RG would be better for us NC40s. an SA applied it on me on Thurs and it looked great! when i asked her which to pick between Delphic and RG, she suggested that i definitely go for RG. Karrie posted a comparison photo of both RG and Golden earlier, and Golden looked way too sheer. i also swatched it alongside RG on Thursday - i couldn't even see Golden on my skin! if it helps i've taken some comparison pics of AS on its own, and then again lined up next to RG and SHMH blush so you can see how well it shows up against more pigmented colours in this collectionAS swatches with and without pesky annotations (sorry if the font's too small)
SMHM, AS, and RG with and without annotations
AS could be used for light, natural contouring teamed with a highlighter but without blush. you can see it pales in comparison to SMHM. if you want something brighter and more pigmented, go for either RG or Delphic. the full haul! (minus the extra GotS)

You're very welcome! Just paying it back for all those countless swatches you US/Canadian girls do for us when we get the collections later than you!Thank you so much for all the comparison swatches, Anneri!Exactly the swatches I was hoping for
I thought Stolen Moment and SS would look very similar but they don't look anything alike ...so...yep, gotta have it!
