Which swatch is LJ and which one is DG? I wish I could see lip swatches. Sometimes arm swatches differ a lot from the actual lip swatch. They do look similar though.
I do love Dodgy girl but it is way less pink on me. I hate buying things blind but I love how these look in Charisma's arm swatches. She has the lip swatches on her blog.

I have Dodgy Girl but still want LJ. DG does that weird color changing thing to my lips. I'm hoping this one doesn't do that. Pasties unite! Lol. As pretty as the BP is I'll skip it. Thanks for telling us, cause that's why I was iffy on it.
Bronze in my eyes only. I embrace my pastiness!

I wonder if this highlighter is glittery….. Hmmmm

Left: LJ and right is DG. To me, I can't justify having the both of them
Thank you. I agree. It doesn't make sense. Why does Mac keep doing this ***t. Where is the creativity?

I will have to check out the lip swatches which is ultimately the true test.

Do not crucify me for asking this question... Has MAC run out of ideas, when it comes to lipsticks. Or do they save their creativity, when they collaborate with celebrities and designers? I think waiting for the lip swatches and comparing them then, would be ideal. Especially under the same lighting

I think MAC should repromote more finishes like dazzles. Also it does seem that MAC is churning out 5000 shades of the same red and hot pink. They could come out with other colors. For instance MAC rarely makes lavender lipsticks but the two they came out with in the past couple years, DG and LJ are dupes. There are so many other shades of purple and lavender to choose from.

I would love to see the dazzle lipsticks on the MAC website, instead of finding them on eBay or other sites being sold at extortionate prices. I know that I am getting tired of seeing the same red/pink lipstick having it's name changed for a new collection, or seeing Sin pop up in nearly every other collection (not that I have anything against Sin, as it's my go to Burgundy for work - also, Tribalist is an amplified version of Sin), its a perm lipstick and anyone can pick that up at any time. Like what one of the other specktrettes say, I would love to see a periwinkle, a true lavender that does not pull pink on my skintone. Or a colour, that'll make a lot of people go gaga for EDIT: forgot to add... I would love to see a Matte Frost collection... But perm
