Unique? No. But then what colours from any brand the last year have been unique? They're all slightly different variations of the same thing with a different brand name slapped on them. IMO. I do think though that while TV is not necessarily a unique colour, it's quite beautiful and worth owning. It's the first lipstick I've found myself actually excited about owning since I did a mini Guerlain haul before the holidays.

The reason I passed up on it was because it looked similar to Opera and Victoriana. If they were not identical twins they looked like fraternal twins. Lol

I decided to pass on Opera... It looks similar to Eden Rouge (mattene) which I barely ever wear!!! I'm sure the formula is better because ER's formula is super slippery and can end up being a goopy red mess if one isnt careful lol

It is a beautiful smooth blue-red matte lipstick. I was quite surprised. Glad I did not sit on it. I was not crazy about Victoriana.

Hmm how does Opera compare to Russian Red?[/quote] RR is warmer with more orange tones than Opera... When I swatched it Friday I immediately ran to the tester display to find RR because they r both warm reds

They're definitely close, TV just has that real bright vibrancy along the lines of Kinky, where the other two dont and it pulls a bit more orange. I love it,but I think if you pass on it, you may not regret it if you have a large red collection already and are trying to hold off on buying more reds. ;)

I should really stop reading all your posts because I am starting to get the urge to get all three reds in this collection. I don't have many reds. Just Heaux and RiRi Woo really and I am getting that itch to expand that part of my collection.

Thank you. I did not get a chance to swatch Tenor Voice today. Perhaps tomorrow.
