I just saw the swatches on the Sephora forum, and now I'm 100% sure Flash of Pink is John, Sunset Blvd is Tomas and Seventh Sin is Omar. The swatches really caught the sparkles in those shades. I'm surprised they brought Omar back given it never even sold out as a boy, but I guess it fills a gap in the range.

I still can't decide whether So Vain is Guillermo. The color actually looks about right to me. Guillermo looks mostly brown on me, but on my more tanned ie. not Casper white friend it's mauve and plummy, the brown only comes through if she applies it very heavily. However the finish of SV seems significantly less opaque and glossier than my Guillermo. Maybe they reformulated it to make it more wearable? I just confused myself even more by looking at Really Ree's swatch, which makes it look like it has a strong orangey red undertone.

I think I'll just save what little sanity I have left and hold off til all you lovely ladies get your orders.

I haven't seen Flash of Pink in person, but I have John and it looks identical to it, so I'd agree with that!

Are the new shades online anywhere? Apart from the actual TF site? I can't seem to find them.

I thought Sunset looked just like Tomas on those Sephora swatches too. I know what you're saying about Guillermo - have not seen Really Ree's swatch but Temptalia's old pics of Guillermo look nothing like how I'm picturing So Vain either:

Edit: Just found Really Ree's swatch...don't understand that one either. Well I hope it doesn't look straight up brown OR like Really Ree's swatch on me. Just not what I'm wanting/expecting from it.

Did the original lipstick and boys boxes have colors on the panel that said the shade name? I see pictures that show that some places.

I have some backups of Addison from Bloomingdales that do. I just checked. However, if I'm remembering correctly some I got from elsewhere (I think maybe TF.com?) did not. I wouldn't be concerned about authenticity either way if that's what you're wondering.

Not at all. I got these from TF direct. I don't think I was supposed to be able to, and I was thinking if all the previous ones had colored box lids, then I had insight about boys that were returning based on what I bought and could have bought. Now, I think it could be either way, but probably just extra stock.

Geez, I know Nordies overestimated shipping, but my notice says the 24th, and I placed the order the other day with the rest of you.

Yeah, I just want a list of boys to men.

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't read your question carefully enough. No, none of my old ones had colored box lids. Some did and some did not have an extra white label with the shade name.

Ebates also sent me $25 cash bonus by email if I spend $200 in beauty. I think I have until Monday to use it. Also, I put "S" in the promo box and another promo popped up in the promo box for $50 off. I assume it is an old code but it applied to the item I had in my cart. I don't know if it expires today. I don't believe that was a code from this last promotion as I don't recall entering a code from a card or email this week. I'm assuming it is really old.

The Alabaster shade is for those who are a Mac NW10 or lighter. It is a perfect match for a Pale Pink Casper. The cream shade is too dark for a true Alabaster shade of TF. That is why I avoided the new cream/powder foundation since it "cream" color. Then the manager of a TF store showed me the actual guidelines from TF corporate and it clearly explained the "cream" in the liquid foundation that came out is not the same color as the "cream" in the cream/powder foundation just released. She put both on me, and the liquid is much darker. My Mom is truly a super pale Pink Casper and Alabaster is a perfect match for her. I hope this helps.

Guillermo on me pulls brown. Gee, perhaps someone who reads but rarely posts knows the real story of the Boys 2 Men name changes???? Would be helpful, just saying.....

Oh don't apologize! I appreciate the help.

I bought Guerlain Mon Exclusif fragrance plus that Guerlain aqua cream shadow from the summer collection.  I didn't pick up any lipsticks just yet.  I will probably get So Vain, Casino, Sweet Mystery and one other that escapes me at the moment.  I'm leaning towards not getting Love Bruise.  I put the boy lipstick I think is So Vain on with Chanel Audace gloss and liked that look.  I think Love Bruise may be too dark for me.  But who knows I may change my mind when I see everyone else rocking it.  Oh I forgot to mention, they did have Love Bruise out on display with the releases.  They also had a peach gloss and a pale gloss that I'm assuming was Naked.  I think that is the only pale gloss they carry but I could be wrong. Ebates also sent me $25 cash bonus by email if I spend $200 in beauty.  I think I have until Monday to use it.  Also, I put "S" in the promo box and another promo popped up in the promo box for $50 off.  I assume it is an old code but it applied to the item I had in my cart.  I don't know if it expires today.  I don't believe that was a code from this last promotion as I don't recall entering a code from a card or email this week.

Thanks for all the info! How would you describe the new fragrance from Guerlain? I'm dying to try it....

 

[elegant-one]

I just want my so vain here now! (Stomps foot). What did you think of sweet mystery and forbidden pink?

I'm anxious too. Mine should be here early this week.

I love the look of Sweet Mystery a lot! I already have Forbidden Pink which is a pale/medium slight rose peach pink.

not YAY for milestone Birthdays

I will be 56 in 2 months

Crazy Sweet! I don't remember the notes except that it has Toffee in it. I follow MonsieurGuerlain on instagram and he did a write up on it some time ago. I'll look it up. I'm surprised that Guerlain came out with a scent like this. I'll probably save it for cooler weather.

 

[ashievic]

Forbidden Pink on me pulled coral/orange. But then for some reason TF lip products that have just a touch of peach in them , pull orange on me. The drama of being a pink Casper.

 

[elegant-one]

If Psych1 says So Vain is a mauvey plum shade & its not Guillermo, than that's what I'm going with.

 

[Ernie]

I'm so confused, not getting any lipsticks till I know more.:shock:
