lol I get it. I love the instant gratification too. Yep, go for the points I say. I might go to this really nice mall tomorrow but I'm not sure if anyone will have them. Maybe Nordies I'm hoping.
If you're lucky someone might have them in a box somewhere. I still can't believe the lady in Sephora told me they have 30 shades in back but not Barbara. :crybaby:

Ugh, I hate that. My Sephora never ever has anything it seems like. Either its sold out or they never got it. Makes going there kind of worthless sometimes.

Are they going to get that shade?

Barneys was super fast in shipping my stuff LOL snicker

I definitely want Barbara. I'm hoping it'll be the right nude for me, but I want to be absolutely sure by swatching it first. I refuse to look at Barney's right now. I will hold on. Haha

Yeah, and it makes no sense to anyone but me but I want it in my hands right now. Like, I want to check it out and bring it home with me. I don't want to refresh my e-mail notification every 2 hours thinking it'll say the lipstick will be at my door the next day. :lol: Plus, I really want those VIB points. I am so close to renewing rouge. So close. Thanks for looking out, though. :D
I couldn't wait to get mine any longer but for the rest of the shades I want I'm really trying to wait for Sephora for the same reason lol feels like a waste to shop elsewhere when I can get points towards Rouge renewal but I needed at least some of the ones I wanted sooner lol I wish Sephora didn't take so long to get things! There's so many times I want to buy from them for the points but they don't have items until 2 weeks-a month after other retailers

I went to a mall today and looked for these lipsticks. The big Sephora, Nordies, NM, etc. did not have them in stock yet.

Thats awful! I've had similar experiences. Sorry that happened to you. What shades stood out to you?
Thanks elegant! The place has a rep for being a bit snotty. The Armani counter and YSL counter staff are always sweet, even if they're swamped (frequently), but others can be hit and miss. The two shades that leapt out at me were Charlotte (what a shock) and Greta, but I didn't get a chance to swatch a lot of the shades before I got swatch-blocked. Bette looked nicer against my skin than I'd thought it would- brown toned burgundy shades are dangerous for me, though I love them.

I want to pick up a few, but I have far too many on my list. As of now, I want Vanessa, Audrey, Leslie, Olivia, Anna, Fanny, and Audrey. I think I want Audrey, Vanessa, and Fanny the most, but it's so hard to choose!

You will love Fanny. It is a beautiful dark wine color. Fanny and Dominique are my favs. Unfortunately Dominique is out of stock.

Yeah. I'm happy for you. Can't wait to see the lip swatches. I wish Barney's had Dominique. How close are you to buying all of them.
:) Carmen makes #8 lol. I'm really picky about the shades I wear so who knows what I will end up with.

I saw swatches of Vanessa & Carmen at a site, & her swatches of Vanessa looked nothing at all like temptalias. So, I am still searching that one out. If I can find those swatches again, I'll post the link.

I wore Annabella, Barbara and Brigitte.
Annabella is poppy red just like the color story. I hoped it's poppy red with a hint of pink, but actually with a hint of orange rather than pink. But it's still beautiful, so I like it!
Barbara is tan rose just as Nars said. It's also a MLBB lipstick and it's much prettier than I thought and I really like it! I thought it's a hint of brown, but no! (At least on my lips.)
On the contrary, Brigitte is quite different from the color story and what I expected. The color story said it's nude rose, but it's not at all at least on my lips.
It looked natural, but muted orange-coral. I thought it leaned on pinky-coral with a hint of white and red because it's nude rose based on the color story. But since orange usually doesn't look good on me, it made my complexion looked little dark, so it's not a perfect lipstick for me.
Tomorrow I'll try out Carmen and can't wait!

They're up at Nordstrom now, but only 28 shades. http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/nars-audacious-lipstick/3849706?origin=category
I just ordered Lana, Jane, Audrey, Vera and Charlotte. I gave up Geraldine because my BFF told me orange color is always horrible on me.lol

These are the color descriptions which I got about Geraldine and Marlene. I hope it's helpful.

Geraldine: Geraldine is going to be bright orange that you could wear now for summer or for a pop of color against fall amber tones. Timanfaya is going to be more of a bright orange than the Geraldine. The timanfaya has more of a vivid orange to it that make is more striking bright vs the Geraldine is a bright orange with more of a rich quality of warm orange.

Marlene: Marlene is red brick with have more warmth to it with like a terracotta undertone. A orange red with brown base. This would be a sultry red for holiday instead of the bright vivid red that might have more shock value.

Thanks!

Just don't tell me that Carmen & Annabella are similar :) I'm thinking that by the description, Carmen will be more red. Can't wait to hear what you think!

I think that Natalie & Vera will be my next 2 :)
