Thank you for the swatches!!! I'm so glad Oxblood is not a dupe of Pander me and Barbeque looks like such a nice orange!!! Can't wait to get my order!I got my package today. I thought oxblood looked just like pander me until I swatched them side by side. Here are the 2 comparisons I was wondering about in case anybody else wondered the same:
Pander me vs Oxblood, Strange Journey vs Barbeque

Don't know if anyone's mentioned this before, but BBQ is verrrrry close to Sail La Vie from Hey Sailor. SLV is just a tiny bit lighter and is a Satin. I was going to pass on BBQ because of this, but my MA suggested I try a dab of SLV on the center of the lower lip on top of BBQ and that looked amazing, so BBQ was a YES.
Victoriana and Ronnie Red are also extremely close dupes, but Victoriana is a bit more vibrant, which made me want to bring it home too, even though it was so close.
One bit of a GREAT news: Chlorophyll mascara is full coverage OPAQUE in one pass on my black lashes. One charge of the brush fully coats both upper and lower lashes in total pastel lime green. It even works really well for temporary streaks in my black hair too. I can't say I've ever seen a colored mascara so completely opaque and pigmented in one coat like this one. There was zero black showing in my lashes…in fact I had to be really careful to get deep into the roots or they would be the only thing that wasn't bright lime. The other colored mascaras in this collection are no where near as full coverage. It's absolutely not a look for everyone, but if you ever dreamt about a colored mascara that brought full, obvious color while keeping a nice lash texture…all I can say is, I hope you love lime! One other thing about the formula; I have very sensitive eyes and most mascara will make me a little teary or at least feel kind of funny and irritating on my lashes, and this formula was one of the least noticeable in this effect on me. It wasn't irritating or heavy feeling at all. I'd consider using this formula just for daily use because of this - plus oh man, once it sets, it doesn't budge. Even cleanse off oil didn't get the lime green one completely out - you would have to use some serious bi-phase type remover to get your lashes back to bare. Great product and LIME!!!!

Thanks very much for the swatches. I was wondering how close it looked to pander me. Now I'm wondering how oxblood lip glass would look over pander me because I find it slightly drying.I was also interested in barbecue. It looks like a nice orangey red.

My order got canceled by Nordies but they're still sending me my free samples in a 0 dollar order. Almost like they're saying '''Hey girl, I fucked up but still love you''

I'm not even mad right now tho. A specktraette messaged me to let me know where to get it. I really appreciate the respect in this community. I still plan on getting it but some Vince Camuto boots convinced me to buy them on clearance and I listened. So, I will still get OB just not meow.

Belk and Dillard's online are SO of OB, the demand for this l/s is cray
lol That sucks. Maybe they will
Ohhh, the Vince Camuto boots were definitely a good call! I'm actually surprised that only two things sold out from this collection and if it's like the Simpsons it will be restocked another three times and will be available for months to come... especially at Macy's.

I'm glad you are going it get it. You will not regret it.
As beautiful as Opera is if you have Kinky or Stunner you can pass on it and not feel bad. Save your coins. Lol.
I would get Opera.Help! NC30ish should I get Tenor voice or Opera? Thanks
You will love it. Good luck.

IMO there really isn't.
I support you. You have Kinky. You can safely skip it. You don't need every shade in the rainbow. You'll never wear everything that you have now anyways. Stay strong.
Well that sucks. Did they say why?Got a email from nordstorm my order for oxblood was canceled

Damn. Bummer. That sucks. Belk used to do that a lot. That is the main reason I try to stay away from them.

I'm loving both Barbecue and Oxblood! Barbecue is slightly more orange than Lady Danger, so I think if you're really into those kind of shades it's worth having. I backed up Oxblood before I even got it and am so happy I did. This is the perfect peachy shade to wear year-round and definitely perfect for the office. If you do a little heavier eye makeup, it's also definitely appropriate for going out! Love it!

Even though I said I wasn't going to get anything from the collection I ended up with oxblood l/s and l/g. I'm patiently waiting their arrival. Now Barbecue is starting to look interesting to me. Does anyone know how close BBQ is to Scarlet Ibis? Any swatches of the two together? Any input would be appreciated.
