I'm so glad Patrick and Giacomo got great marks! I pre-ordered those two from this set :)

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I got Matthew and Justin and maybe Stavros for next haul. Yeah they are a hit and a miss. His pinks, corals and fuchsias are pretty good.
Love your picks. I agree those shades seem to be more consistently good. Naturally I keep picking the experimental ones with the indescribable finishes LOL

A little bit, I think it was less patchy than Alasdhair though.
Thanks!

I'm actually test-wearing Wes right now. It's pretty close to Black Dahlia to me, but I like the feel of Wes way better (cause mattes are too drying for me). When I tested it once last week, it was kinda patchy and sheer. Re-testing it now, I got it to be not patchy, although it's not as dark/opaque as Black Dahlia, which I prefer actually, cause being slightly lighter is easier to wear.

I love WG. This week is orange week. We're wearing orange lippies for the entire week. Last week was red week!!!
Oh that's right! I don't have Wild Ginger, but it's a beaute. I did however get Tomas from Lips & Boys (I know - I'm ridiculous. I'm not even counting anymore). Maybe I'll join you tomorrow and wear him.

If any of you live near a CCO they have the full size Violet Fatale for $34!! Might make more sense to buy that over Xavier. I saw it at both the Massachusetts and CT CCOs.

Oooo thanks!! That's my favorite lipstick! I already have one but I'm sure a backup wouldn't hurt, lol! I don't think my CCO has it though as I called them a couple days ago and they don't have much (admit it, which one of you rushed to the off saks CCO in great lakes crossing and took ALL of the narcissist blushes?!?! They had like 15 the one day and a couple days after I mentioned it here, they were all gone!).

@charismafulltv Finally swatched Liam! I personally did not find the formula patchy. I will say that the more I put on (swiping numerous times), the more obvious my natural lip lines appeared on my lower lip but it didn't collect on rough spots or in the middle of my lip or anything. And that was easily remedied by just not loading up the bottom lip with product. HTH!


Taken in natural light with the sun shining (which lasted for all of a minute!). So it's a bit lighter here than it would be indoors or when it's overcast because it's in the sunlight but still accurate. Needed the light to capture the grapeness of it.

I would have expected it to look on the lips, almost as dark as it does in the tube. Interesting.
