Oh my gosh elegant-one! Such gorgeous colours! I love love love John!

I went to my local Holt Renfrew today to see if they had any of these lippies left and they didn't have any worth mentioning :(. I recently moved to a totally different city to be with my husband (who has been living 5 hours away since September) just before Christmas and then I went to my hometown for Christmas until the beginning of January! I totally missed this collection! I went yesterday to talk with the SA at HR since my old SA used to call and send me new collections automatically. She unfortunately left and I was given to another SA who said she would do the same but she never did (since just after the collection featuring Negligee). Hopefully this new SA will do what she promised and cal for the new collections! At least now i'm in the same city as Tom Ford's cosmetics and I can stalk like a crazy woman :) .
Oh, good! It will be great for you to actually see them in person. You would love these doll!

This looks close to Julian which I'm wearing today. It's a lovely color!

Yes, its in that color family. Very very pale & very sweet. I'm happy you are liking Julian! I backed that one up lol/

Huh, I'm back from my short but adventurous trip. I hoped to swatch the NARS girls and I did saw many of them but I came back with three new boyfriends: William, Tomas, and Diego!

I was super lucky because the boys had arrived to the town the same day I did!

I also tried on other metallics, Sebastian and Omar, but they were kind of "too colourful" on me, and Peter, who I found a bit too cold for me and it also reminded me of some Mac lippies I have.

I've got William on my lips atm, it's a great nude, looks more of highly pearlized than metallic to me. Earlier today I had Diego on. He's so cute. Definitely a red orange, not the other way around.

Ordered 3 more today from Saks: Beau. Adriano. Xavier. I was looking for Alejandro, but it's sold out. I already have Luciano and Based on swatches, it appears they are almost identical? Alejandro seems a tad more blue-based, which is why I think I would prefer him. But, overall, I do wonder why Alejandro flew off the shelves whereas Luciano is readily available? They just seem so similar.

I think because Alejandro is known to be a repromote of Slander, while Luciano is just Luciano.....but I prefer Luciano on myself and even backed him up.

Alejandro has a lot of shimmer, it's almost a frost finish if built up. I don't think that's really come across in most swatches, including mine. Luciano is a very similar shade of red but doesn't have the shimmer.

:lol: :D :frenz: You're so welcome my friend. I like many choices LOL! Just like Audacious, there's always a handful that just don't work for me.
I hate when the colour you want most turns out to be one of those colours that always looks bad on you.

I pre-ordered my spring items at my local counter today.

Estimated arrival time is 1st week-ish of February to counters.

I want to thank everyone here in the Forum who encouraged me to buy Xavier in case my ebay purchase of VF did not work out. It didn't. The seller was not being straight up and instead of acknowledging her nearly three week delay in shipping (which I had already written to give her a free pass on because, hey, it was the holiday) she instead acted like it was the PO's fault that all there was was a record of a shipping label. And then gave me a phony baloney story that the tracking would show by the end of the week. What she actually did was rush out and mail the package to the outdated address where it will sit there in an outdoor mailbox and freeze all winter-- after I explained to her that the address needed to be changed. A waste. But ebay gave me the refund and my Xavier arrived today. Thanks again!

I'm so sorry you had that awful experience and glad Ebay refunded you!
