I have Patrick, Richard and Flynn which I reviewed on my blog, they're lovely! I may be getting another three and if I can I'll get Giacomo, Julian and a third one. I can't decide between James and Adriano and another two possible ones are Alejandro or Beau.

Is James similar to Patrick? In some swatches it looks very similar but less bright and I'd prefer my choices to be visibly different.

Any suggestions or any must-have shades I'm missing?

Thanks in advance!

Nice greens! I have Dior Jardin, Dior House of Greens, Gucci Serpentine Envy, Hourglass Color Field, GA Eye Tint in Green Iron, and I'm sure I'm missing some LOL. I had a gift card for Christmas and almost used it to buy the TF quad in Sahara Haze but I stopped myself! Those Shu and Guerlain palettes sound awesome which means I should not google them! I'm already mad I saw the TF Jade duo and can't unsee it!

As for the Burberry Earthy blush, I do not have it but I have thought about it several times. I am concerned it will be too brown or cool or muddy on me. I think it's one you need to swatch in person if you can!

Dior House of Greens is gorgeous. It is rare for me to see a palette where I know I could wear every shade. Are you happy with the quality? The Hourglass is a real beauty. I just gasped when I saw your swatch of it. Although I rarely to ever wear brown, I even like the look of the cool brown in the palette and the greens are to die for. That being said, I am trying to be realistic-- and I usually go for brightening on the eyelid area and so am not sure I could wear the deeper shades well and do this palette justice. There is some overlap between the Dior and the Guerlain I have so I am not sure one could justify having both. The gold green and teal green are in both palettes. Where the Dior has that great neutral shade, which I looooove, the Guerlain has a lighter spring green. The Dior has that lovely pink highlight shade, which makes this such a perfect Spring palette. The Guerlain instead has a warm orange, which for me is a brightening crease shade and also marries the overall look to an orange or coral lipstick. But I don't always wear it that way in any case. On the GA, I am very drawn to Onyx, but haven't tried Green Iron.

As to the Earthy, I did try it and it seemed to give me more of a tanned look in an overall sense and the neutral tone calmed down the sallowness. But my skin also felt mildly irritated afterward which is rare for me. I was not sure if it was the blustery day and the fact that I was not carrying a moisturizer-- or whether the perfume in the blush was sensitizing.

My boys and the two mattes arrived, yay! Flame and Black Dahlia are both amazing, much less dry than I expected. Flame is my favourite, though, the color is so vibrant! If anyone needs an incentive to buy it, hop over to Ruth's blog and watch this video.

However, I'm surprised how much I love Jack. It's IRL totally different from Pablo, at least on my lips. Hand swatches look very similar, but Jack is a lot more violet, less pink than Pablo. Seriously, get Jack while it's still available. It's going to be a killer spring color!

My vote is Alejandro! It's such a stunnnning red! I was worried I'd use it up so quickly that I hunted down a full sized LE Slander. I have patrick, but not James. My impression is that Patrick is more pink-coral and bright. While James is more of an orange coral, and maybe a tiny bit toned down? I remember swatching James but not liking it that much. But that's my personal preference. It looks loooovely on the ladies here!!

It was unexpected but Pablo ended up being my favorite with Giacomo coming in second. I'm wearing Pable in my profile pic.

I second the vote for Pablo. It's not a color I can easily wear but I love it. It's a real standout shade. It would look fabulous on you. None of the other choices are quite as interesting. And it's not close to your other choices. When Spring and Summer come, you will be happy to have it.
