I wore Natalie today.

Love this formula. I haven't decided which one to try tomorrow.

Now I am stalking NARS and Barneys for Dominique, Vivien, and Julie.

Yeah me too, I keep trying to remind myself that most places restock something like weekly, not hourly... But what if I calm down, check next week, and miss it again?! But every second I sit here refreshing barneys and nars I find something else I want to buy... Like now I'm SURE I need pastel coats for fall, like pink, blue and lavender, and at least one has to be collarless to wear with pretty collared dresses. I can't find a lavender one, apparently that hasn't been cool since like 2011 but I missed it. I still want it. I don't care if I'm out of date. But wouldn't Vivien look SOOOO pretty paired with a pale lilac wool coat...?

I went to Saks to swatch the shades not carried by Sephora. I had the idea that I would go to Sephora anyway and get Lana and add to my points. However, Catherine actually turned out to be what I wanted. She came home with me instead. I was this close to getting Lana, too but I practiced some self-control. Next week. :D

It's a darker orange coral. The deep orange tone makes it work for me. Sometimes shades in this family turn crazy on me, but this is perfect. Again, the formula is everything and I have to get used to it because I put on too much and have to blot it off. The SA was super nice and chatty. I told her the shades I already have and she was freaking out because she said she wanted Dominique and couldn't get her hands on it even at the workshop. She also said Catherine was for Hepburn, but I'm pretty sure it's for Deneuve since Hepburn is Katharine. She was nice and hyper, though so I just smiled. :lol:
Aw :) I can guess for some of the names but it would be cool to have a master list

:agree: :kissy: Those 43 look so great on you. I am a falsie newbie so I have no idea how to apply them yet. I also bought the ones Erine had on in her picture and another # that I can't remember.
I used to just pick random pairs b/c you really can't go wrong w/ RC. I remember talking to Erine about #43 and she said they were too small for her eyes. They are shorter and that actually works better for me. It's hard to get lashes to stick to the inner corner of my eye b/c that area is so watery in the mornings. I'm glad the lashes stop short and it actually makes me feel like my eyes look bigger and that's a plus. I've always wanted bigger eyes. It's not hard to learn to apply lashes. If I can, you can. :lol: Just use tweezers. It makes things a lot easier!

Someone posted a master list waaaay back. Maybe someone will be kind enough to dig it up(?). I just remembered I was dying for Barbara and that's the name of my next door neighbor and I hate her guts. :getyou: That's why I refuse to get Angela, but Barbara was too good to pass up. I just have to remember Barbara Stanwyck and it'll keep me from wanting to vomit. I'm on the fence about Liv & Charlotte. I keep thinking about them, but I know the Mac matte lipsticks are coming up in similar colors and I might go for those since they are totally matte & it seems the Nars formula isn't quite as strong in those darker shades.

Hmm, I can imagine a name or two that might piss me off lol I'm hoping to get a couple soon but they'll be lighter shades.

What about Annabella, though? Is it really just Annabella? :lol: Also, Barbara is Barbara Stanwyck like I mentioned before and Catherine Deneuve. And Deborah is Deborah Kerr?
I thought for sure Barbara was for Barbara Eden. But you are prob right about it being Stanwyck......and Annabelle there was an actress who went by just Annabella.

I forgot about Barbara Eden. I do think it's Stanwyck, though. She just seems more iconic to me. 4 time Academy Award nominee. I just found Annabella. A french actress. I learned something today.

You are more than likely right about it being Stanwyck. I am super curious and interested in who each lipstick was named after. Jane maybe after fonda, like you said. She is iconic! Sadly it'll enable me lol.

I'm wondering why there isn't one for Gene Tierney. She was gorgeous.

I'm sure it's Stanwyck, but I would love to think of it for Barbara Eden. That shade looks like a very Barbara Eden sort of shade!
