Well i didn't have skippers remorse about LJ because I have similar colors which is y I popped out Nyx Lilac and went in with Cyber World pencil... Everyone's gorgeous LJ pics in the other thread inspired me
My thing usually with le's are either the packaging or the person tied to it or just that it's an le. Rihanna was the only collection I really wanted, the others were just gravy. Most every color I already have in my collection, you're right and you have a great attitude about it.

Nightingale and Heroine aren't close relatives... Nightingale is a neutral berry and Heroine is a warm purple with magenta tones... They r both beautiful and having both won't hurt
@pinkcrush, you have some NYX, is Nightingale close to any of their liners? Do you know? I love their Purple Rain one, which is essentially a Heroine dupe though.

Here's what I have in what I think are the Cyber World and Nightingale family. I'm thinking I don't need either:


Top to bottom: NYX Prune (violet plum), NYX Never (violet brown), NYX Y2K (deep violet), Avon Luxury Liner Deep Plum, Avon Luxury Liner Wild Berry

This is Heroine and dupes (well last one is more purple):

Left is natural light, right is flash. Top to bottom: MAC Heroine, NYX Purple Rain, Nicka K Auto Lip Pencil Dark Orchid

Yeah Nightingale seems closest to Avon Deep Plum. My Macy's has Nightingale. No Cyber World, well it's not online for me to check. I was asking you which of my swatches is closest to that one but I think it's a mix of Never & Y2K. Super dark purple. Thanks! Nordie has Whirl on b/o.

I bought Whirl today at a MAC counter in Nordstroms... It doesn't seem like u have anything exactly like Cyber World in ur arsenal of pencils although the second Nyx one isn't far off. CW isn't super dark, it's medium-dark... Id swatch it if I was home... For me it's exactly like Smoked Purple lipstick

If I wasn't such an NYX lip pencil fanatic I wouldn't be finding it so hard to spend $16 on a similar MAC lip pencil! Whirl is like their Mauve...Never got Smoked Purple, again, similar to stuff I have...it's gorg though. I may...

I wore Whirl with Verve today and it was Marsala nude heaven but I feel u on spending $16 on something when u have cheaper alternatives in ur stash, I feel u 1000%

My Soar, Edge to Edge and Rosey Rim pencils are slated to arrive on Thursday. Stone (not part of this collection) is still backordered. They said it would be only a 2-week wait, and it has been almost a month now.

I initially had the same notice of it being 2-weeks and it took about a month to get my backordered item.. I wonder if it's just an automatically generated email?

Hopefully not too much longer. My Soar and Spice just arrived 5mins ago and took a month to restock.

It could be their standard response. My local MAC store also said 2 weeks and they still didn't receive the new shipment either.

I hope so! I want to use Stone to deepen/play around with some of my new nude liquid lipsticks from ABH, CR and LAS. The MAC website said they cancel orders if the wait time is more than one month. That's what is worrying me.

A month and 2 weeks. You'll get the 2 weeks email, and then it's one month from that email notice.
