Iotas are everything. There are perfectly good reasons why I need thirty variations of red lipstick. It's all about the iotas.

Have you checked out the Chanel spring collection? There's rumor of a strawberry red with your name on it.
TF Velvet Cherry is also quite nice!!

Stavros is AMAZING! Everyone needs it.

Lovely swatches. Thanks for posting.

Enjoy your new beauties.

My boys arrived yesterday! Long post ahead :shock:

First some tube comparisons:

I actually love this size lipstick. I haven't finished a lipstick in years so these are perfect for me. Small enough that I should actually make a real dent in them, but not so small that they'll be gone in a couple of dozen uses.

The tube is small compared to regular TF tubes, Burberry etc. but I don't think it's that tiny compared to less bulky tubes. Swatches:

L-R: Alejandro, Luciano, Matthew

L-R: Alasdhair, Wes, Guillermo

L-R: Kyril, Stavros, Orlando

L-R: Pablo, Jack, Liam

L-R: Olivier, Alexander, Julian

L-R: Black Dahlia, Wes, Pussycat, Julian I LOVE THESE LIPSTICKS! :eyelove: Seriously, they're all awesome in their different ways. Some jumbled thoughts: There's a few different formula's in the mix here. Some shades like Alasdhair and Kyril are clearly not meant to be heavily built up, but they're really pretty with just one or two passes. Olivier and Orlando are fairly sheer. Matthew, Guillermo, Alexander and Julian are the creamiest and the most opaque, the rest are a bit more emollient and take a few swipes to be 100% opaque. I think a few people have said Wes is patchy? I wore it for most of today and I didn't find that at all. Orlando is a very easy to wear golden nude for us fair girls. On the lips Alejandro is pinker and much more shimmery/metallic than Luciano. The former's a real show-stopper and the latter's more of an everyday red. Jack definitely leans purple whereas Pablo is a totally standard blue-toned bright pink. Stavros is AMAZING! Everyone needs it.

Thank you for taking the time to review and swatch this collection. It's very much appreciated. Your swatches are all beautiful.

Thank you for the swatches. Pussycat and Julian look different enough for me to get both :yahoo:

Pussycat is very pretty. I'd say, get it. I hope you love it.

Thanks for the tip!

No problem! I'm hoping everything works out

Yes, I have guillermo, and I Swatched it next to foudroyante and the are soooo close. If memory serves me right, foudroyante is maybe just a tad rosier and Guillermo is more plummy. But they are super close.

I agree, I have both and they are just a smidge different, not noticeable. So I am not getting a backup of Guillermo ( it's is my favorite for now!)

I'm interested to see how it is on me. I've said it before but I just loved how it looked in T's swatch.

  [COLOR=0000FF]The very mention of it moves me to tears AWS[/COLOR]:crybaby: [COLOR=0000FF]Sniff...I love it so much.[/COLOR]

Aw! It's lovely

Lovely, thanks!

I guess the holder is only available in the store. I'm going to bring in my shipping invoice to NM and see if I can still get it without having to purchase three more lipsticks.

 

[claudestrawberr]

Totally off the lips and boys topic, but I wish TF would do a cool toned taupey brown matte quad, so like Cocoa mirage but cool toned or a matte Nude Dip.

They are really nice. I'd like to see TF put this much effort into the full sized lippies.

I have both of those but would be open totally open CT CM and a matte ND.

They are really ice. I'd like to see TF put this much effort into the full sized lippies.

What do you mean -- the number of shades? I was wondering if they might make full sized perm versions of the most popular minis at some point?

 

[Mizani]

Okay, I swung by the mall earlier and stopped by the TF counter at Neiman's. Glad I did. The girl I talked to did say they were taking preorders and that she could ring me up then if I wanted. Said they just can't show it to us. I asked her how much stock they going to have. She believes they should ideally have enough to sell for four days but can't make any promises especially since they don't have a limit in how many you can by. I'll make my final decision next week I guess.

Oh no....the best of the bunch would be good. That's just wishful thinking.
