Karen's, as always. It is a dark red, and Karen's swatches show that.
I knew Opera couldn't be that bright. I mean MAC's descriptions can be a little off sometimes but I haven't seen them describe a bright lipstick as dark or vice versa. :haha:

Right? The fact that she compared it to Kinky and RiRi Woo made me scratch my head a little since it's supposed to be a dark red.

She said that those were all darker than Opera. Even MAC Red she said was darker. I think I'm going to wait until I see other people's swatch comparisons before I get it. I don't want another plain red.

I'm going to try to get most of what I want if not everything on the 29th since I'll be in training for the next seven weeks. If not then I'll try Macys website on the 5th

That's what I found kinda odd about it being that Opera is supposed to be dark and so her saying bright reds were darker than this made me wonder. Especially after seeing Karen's swatch which makes it look more in the same realm as something like Salon Rouge than RRW.

This makes me wonder if she just uses the dupe search feature on her site instead of actually swatching them side by side to compare.

instagram.com/p/x11Xs4l1dw/?modal=true beautylogicblog IG has a nice pic of 2 of the Toledo red lipsticks, maybe Barbecue and Victoriana?

I've cut all the blushes from my list Oxblood, Bbq and Opera are still hanging on. Added Petrol liner. I need that!

Okay! I was going to skip that one. But if it is that lavender/purple I may pick it up!
Based on that photo, it appears to have more purple than the original one. I already have AB, but I might get this one if that's the case.
