It's beautiful! It's reminding me of OPI's Suzi Says Da!

So I like Xavier so much that I ordered VF on Evilbay. But I never got the package. And USPS tracking number shows it as "label created" from like two weeks ago but no other progress through their system. So now the seller is saying she sent it but maybe she got the address wrong. Meanwhile Xavier is sold out nearly everywhere. Wondering whether I should jump through hoops to track one down.

Nails and for lips too. I love a good red brown any day of the week.
Suzi Says Da is one of my faves!

She needs to show proof that she actually handed the item over to USPS and not just created the label at home! Either way, she'll have to reimburse you (through Ebay's T&Cs) and file a claim with USPS for the lost package.

Make sure to open a dispute with ebay! Worst case scenario, cancel that charge on your CC! If you tell them you never got the item, and have proof of the dispute, they might work with you. I almost had to resort to that once with Discover.

Do what the ladies above stated. It is the best thing to do. 2 weeks is too long. Pick up Xavier if it is available to purchase from a store.

Plus, Violet Fatale is permanent. I would just order from a department store or TF.com!

Well I finally stopped by Nordstrom on Sunday to pick up Julian and went to the tiny TF counter there to swatch some more of the boys. I LOVED Stavros! It is so pretty and unique. It has this really lovely purple/mauve sparkle. Fortunately I had an anti-enabling friend with me because I know I would only ever wear it around my house. Although if Nordstrom has another online restock or they ever make it full size I will probably have a f*ck it moment and get it. Alejandro was also really nice but I convinced myself I had enough reds and passed on that as well. And then of course tonight I decided to get myself an early birthday present since Saks still has the fancy boxes in stock online and picked up Didier, a BU of Jack, and Leonardo (so much for too many reds). Here are some arm swatches in terrible store lighting.
That unlabeled swatch under Cary is the perm lippie Casablanca. I know some of the repromoted lipsticks have turned out not be be exact dupes but I would say Cary and Casablanca are pretty much identical. They look a little different because of the lighting/angle of my arm but that wasn't the case in store.
I hope to compare Julian and Nars Anna tomorrow so fingers crossed the sun comes out.

I can't do a comparison swatch but Flynn is cooler toned than both Spanish Pink and Pink Dusk.

Damn, the L&B collection went online at the Kadewe shop and almost everything sold out in seconds! Since I'm so not amused about the size I thought I wouldn't order anything, but I still was too intrigued by some of the colors, so I got Jack and Peter. I'd have bought Xavier and Stavros as well, but they were gone already.
Maybe it's for the better, Xavier is not that unique and I'm pretty sure I'd have worn Stavros once and then never again (I'm already a bit tired of the grey D&G I bought - it just looks too weird).
But, you know how it is, if one is ordering anyway, why not get something else? The matte lipsticks in Black Dahlia and Flame were still available, so I finally decided that I need them. Did I ever think I have a spine?
ETA: I wasn't even sure why I had Jack on my list and now just had to take a look at Temptalia's lip swatches. Hmm. It's apparently a cooler version of Pablo, and I love those typical couture pinks, so maybe that was the reason?

I have it and I absolutely LOVE it!!!! I wear it with Chanel Foudroyante lipstick & Audace lip gloss---a trifecta of gorgeousness IMHO!!!

Beautiful color! I think it might work well with Burberry's oxblood lippies too.
