Has anyone heard anything about there being some lips & boys repromotes among the new full size lipsticks? I was about to order Casino and Lilac Nymph, but looking at the images on Nordies and Psych's swatches, I'm suddenly thinking they look an awful lot like Blake and Alexander. Sweet Mystery looks similar to Peter. Dark and Stormy looks similar to Pavlos. So Vain looks similar to Guillermo.

I was thinking of doing a big haul but now I'm worried I already have all these lipsticks in mini form. Either way, probably a sign I don't need more lipsticks.

Edit: I compared the promo images from Lips & Boys to the ones of the new lippies on Nordies. The promo images for Casino, Sweet Mystery, Dark & Stormy and So Vain look exactly the same as the promo images for Blake, Peter, Pavlos and Guillermo. Also Flash of Pink=John, Guilty Pleasure=William, Seventh Sin =Omar, Showgirl=Francesco and Sunset=Tomas. Maybe Nordies or TF have just made a mistake with the promo images, but aside from Seventh Sin=Omar (looks more like Gustavo to me), they all seem to match pretty well.
My wallet really really hopes that you are right but I hope that you are not

I loved some of the lipsticks you are mentioning in @Neicy's swatches but I didn't like any of the corresponding boys (except from Peter). I guess I should wait for more swatches.

I love Lust, also have Bare and Nubile or something like that. I am bit confused, if the full grown men lipsticks went up by 2.00, then why are the little Boy's 3.00 more? Perhaps daycare expenses explains the extra 1.00????
That's really funny. Hah!;)

Bravo! That makes a lot of sense and you may well be right. Wonder how we can find out for sure.

I hate it when just the names have been changed to increase the sales. Own it, Mr. Ford, we might be pretty, but we are not stupid. Greed is unbecoming.....

I remember watching a segment on 60 Minutes about high end eyeglass frames. Regardless of the designer, Chanel, TF, whomever, they are made at the same factory in Italy. Using the same materials. I have nothing to base the following on except for being the daughter of an accountant.....

If TF is owned by Lauder, Mac is owned by Lauder, are these products being made in the same factory? The lipstick colors are close to each other, but perhaps more expensive additives are being added to TF? As I was putzing yesterday in my makeup sanctuary, to me, there are many Mac lipsticks the same color as TF. No they aren't as smooth as TF, but the color to my untrained eye is an exact match.

Daddy also said the little Boy's containers probably cost more to make, and since they have a limited use vs. the across the board use of the Men containers, that is why the extra 1.00 in cost. As in when you make the cast or mold of a container, the more you are able to use the same mold, it makes the accountants happy.

Yup. Really good @beauteblogueur. SA at NM just confirmed they are the same but they don't know how the names convert at this point. But I bet all of us could look at those swatches and know which boys are now which men!

Yay!!!! I got so vain but Me thinks me needs that Virgin rose too
Me thinks you do as well After So Vain, Virgin Rose was the next "must have" out of all of them for me. It really stood out and photos just don't do it justice. It's stunning (iPhones version of poke)

Just got Ravenous Lip Shine :eyelove: :love: It's THE prettiest just bitten pinky rosy slight berry fuchsia  I own! I LOVE LOVE LOVE it! The texture, the taste, the coverage is just amazing!
Stunning shade! It looks so beautiful against your skin
[COLOR=0000FF]   Awesome!!!!  I ordered So Vain and now I'm mulling over some others!!![/COLOR]
Yay! I have a feeling you won't be able to just stop there
Thanks so much to @Neicy  @Psych1  and @elegant-one  for the beautiful swatches. Any chance you could tell us which are which Psych1? Is Sunset Blvd one that you felt was frosty?
Sorry for the delay in responding! No, Sunset Blvd definitely wasn't frosty at all. It was an orangey red, just like a sunset and the finish was creamy. I remember that shade well, it's on the third row, third one down. HTH
