Crappy light, end of day makeup, brows not done, but here I am! SV and Guillermo are DEFINITELY NOT the same...similar-ish to where you might not NEED both, especially under gloss. G pulls darker and more brown. SV pulls more mauve. I LOVE LOVE LOVE SV. It is very glittery, and I do feel the grit upon application or when it's wearing away but not during prime-time wear, if that makes sense. Glitter is not noticeable more than a fine sheen until it wears off...then I agree about eating a fairy.
You look lovely, its a very pretty shade on you!

Awww, thanks! I seriously love it. So glad I got it. I may have been a bit impatient, so I cleaned my lips and popped on Jack. Also a win! It's not as purple as I was expecting, but it's really pretty, wearable, and comfortable. It feels like silk. [@]Psych1[/@], how do you think lilac nymph and Jack compare? I'm itching to try some purples, and my virgin rose will need a buddy...it's a long distance to my house for it to travel alone. ;)
I love purples too! Lilac Nymph & Jack are definitely different. LN is almost a pastel, very cool toned pinky purple shade & it even has the very slightest hint of frost, but it's truly undetectable unless you're examining it closely, which I did. It's a really pretty shade for spring/summer. My only complaint is that I find the formula to be a bit inferior, it's thin, on the sheer side & doesn't feel as buttery/creamy as Jack. Jack is several shades darker & much warmer. The formula is top notch, I just love this one. If I had to pick I would definitely choose jack, but the shades are certainly different enough to warrant getting LN if you like the shade! HTH

It looks fabulous on you, fairies or not!

Thanks everyone!! You guys are too sweet...you know it must be good if I'm willing to post a 'real' pic, haha! Currently fighting the urge for Virgin Rose. Although I know as soon as I see someone looking lovely in it I'm so done.

SV is stunning on you----you look gorgeous. Thanks so much for taking pics and swatches---they're so awesome!!! Eat a fairy?? Could you imagine regurgitating one!

Glitter everywhere!!! Do you have AW15? If not you need it. It plays so well w/these colors and would look unbelievably good on you w/SV!

You mean you haven't yet ordered SV

I got it now, I got it! Don't be disappointed in me, Meddy! It's my first TF lipstick and I had to stop choking on the price tag first.

I'm good now. And might be eyeing a few others.

Hey girls, can someone swatch Virgin Rose next to Julian? I'm holding out hope that Julian will make a reappearance with this year's L&B, and I read somewhere that he's similar to VR. Thx!

This color looks amazing on you, too! I'm happy I have LB on the way now.

Once you have Mr. Ford on your lips, you never go back.....but in our rabbit hole, we have plenty of noodles. As well as the van for blood donations stops by every six weeks to fill our depleted bank accounts.
