Thanks Nay! I'm so excited about this collection. The colors, the packaging, everything! Hope we see swatches of the other two polishes. All 3 are right up my ally. Esp that green!

Still want to know why the names are different on the samples

Good question. I didn't notice that at first and one of them is called Ablaze (I would hope it is not a repeat of Ablaze from fashion sets because that wouldn't make sense). Names do change, and sometimes samples are sent out with different names than the ones that end up being released. Interesting though.

Thank you Nay!
Sounds about right.

They're Working Names (WN). Even says so on the bottom. I've explained what WN means many times.

To be fair, it just says WN, as you pointed out. That's not something everyone is familiar with.

Seeing as they are both lustres, it can be a little harder to tell. But Flair for Finery has more pink, it was one of those good lustres. The nude appears to be more beige and has no pink.

I just looked up Flair for Finery. It's pretty! I was mostly ignoring LE collections at that time.

Ever since I saw these lipsticks I thought I'd get Lavender Jade but if Im honest with myself I dont even wear light purples often (like Dodgy Girl hasnt been worn a full day yet and I gave my Airborne Unicorn from LC to my sister) I dont look that great in them, I look better in deeper purples. This collection may be a complete skip for me, Im trying to be on a low buy so thats helpful. I got to be honest with myself and cut out the stuff I wont use much. I do like the look of Burmese Kiss so we will see with that one, if I can find a dupe in my collection I think I can pass

It is pretty! I gave mine away to a friend recently because it did nothing for my complexion---too light. But on her, it was really beautiful.

I've been more open to lighter shades lately, but I generally prefer lipsticks with more punch! There was a time not that long ago, though, that you would not see me in a light nude. I still prefer them with liners, though.It is pretty! I gave mine away to a friend recently because it did nothing for my complexion---too light. But on her, it was really beautiful.

I generally prefer lipsticks with more punch too, or that are more opague. With a liner though, this one might be really nice! Will definitely have to check it out in store to see if it works for me

These are beautiful. That orange is way prettier than I expected. The look like they have a nice texture as well.
