Another review from T: www.temptalia.com/nars-lana-annabella-rita-marlene-olivia-audacious-lipsticks-reviews-photos-swatches#comment-1942639 Btw I really don't get Marlene. Nars said it is red brick but it doesn't look like brick color at all!!

I'm trying to figure out which is my next pretty. Carmen, Vanessa, Vivien, Angela.....

These are so pretty I can't stand it. I had Raquel as a definite on my list, so this just reinforced that decision. Kelly is one that appeals to me but I am a little "scared" of too bold a lip. I think I could apply it lightly though and still get a nice effect. I don't know if it's dupable or not, but I know I don't personally have anything like it. Marisa is also gorgeous. I don't do bright pink very often, but this one does speak to me.
They are even prettier in person. I have a lot of pink corals, but Kelly is just so darn beautiful on. You can definitely do a lighter version. I am really happy I bought Marisa its so pretty. It has this depth of the color to that makes it unique.

I wear Angela now and of course it's totally different from swatches.
It's like bright magenta pink with violet undertone (I mean pink, magenta and violet are mixed.lol) and I can say it's a bright version of Full Frontal or violet version of Marisa. I haven't tried Silvia, but it's a muted-version of Angela in the tube. Full Frontal is somewhat between them.
Angela is totally different from what I thought (I thought it's orchid with a hint white), but I like it!

Vanessa looks yellow brown on me. Not what I was expecting at all. Its the only one I've been disappointed with so far.

Argh... So new here. That was to be about the Barbara swatches at Allura!
Don't worry. Happens to all of us, even people like me who've been around these parts for years. And welcome, btw.

It's much brighter looking than anything I'd call brick. "Bright brick"?

I think T's lighting is too bright. It's making everything look much lighter than it is.

Apparently the top photo here is Marlene: http://www.beautyalchemist.com/2014/02/nars-debuts-audacious-lipstick-at-naeem.html

And the top swatch (scroll down a little) here is Marlene: http://beautygypsy.com/backstage-at-the-naeem-kahn-fall-2014-fashion-show

That swatch and lip look reasonably consistent. And nothing like T's.
