Well, I got a few swatches in. I was racing the sunset! Never realized how fast the sun goes down... until you try to take natural light photos! I did lip swatches, but they're in yucky yellow indoor light, and basically useless. So here is hand swatch and bullet picture!
First impression:
Oh god, Alexander is Barbie-doll pink! This is a color I do not own, because I'm never sure if I look good in it. But I swatched it anyway because I was happily surprised with Wes and Luciano. Very barbie-pink for me. I will see how I like it again when I try it with makeup that might work with it. I have a bronzey/brown smokey eye look right now and, boy, that pink looked funny with it!
Julian is LOVE! A perfect MLBB color, though leaning a little on the purple side so it's noticeable on my lips. It will look so pretty under a bunch of glosses I have.
Patrick is a pretty coral. However, you can see some lip line settling up close. Guerlain Gloss in Coral Wizz looks very nice over it! This will be a really great go-to spring coral. For some reason, I mixed together Patrick's and Alexander's swatch on my hand... and actually liked the result. Maybe I will find a way to use Alexander after all! Made a very nice mix. Alexander will probably look nice under some glosses or toned down a bit.
