Yeah, Bikini is even worse on the lips. I recently got around to wearing it & noticed something was off with the formula. I'm tempted to exchange it b/c it almost feels like there's something wrong with it compared to the other satins.

I wish I had Up The Amp, I would do a comparison swatch for you. But I have swatched it several times at the counter & always passed bc it's a purple with warm undertones, which I find sort of dulling for my complexion.

Off the top of my head, I would say that RR is more vibrant, a truer, more cool toned purple. If I had to guess, I would say RR is slightly darker in tone, but not by much. I do have Heroine. I could do a comparison swatch tomorrow with that shade if that would help?

Yes please compare Heroine and RR! I like Heroine but it's a tad bit too purple so if RR is softer then it will probably work for me. And yes do take back Bikini! These lipsticks are too expensive to not be perfect for you.

Ok, I will definitely do the swatches tomorrow! I'm interested to see how they compare as well lol Thanks, I think you're right. I hate to take back a makeup product I've used, but it's not consistent with the other shades. That leads me to believe there's something off with the formula as opposed to me just being picky.

Well at $90 a pop you have lots of room to be picky lol. Also it's not our fault that the lipsticks are at limited locations so they have to accept what comes along with that which will mean lots of returns and I certainly don't feel guilty about it nor should anyone else.

[COLOR=0000FF]   My Pluminette was sent to the warehouse so I should get a shipping notice soon.  That's too bad about Bikini---I was reviewing old swatches and it appeared to swatch[/COLOR] [COLOR=0000FF]   like what I would expect to see from a sheer formula.  EO posted amazing swatches of 'P' in the Sephora thread and that pretty much sealed the deal for me.[/COLOR] [COLOR=0000FF]   [/COLOR]:love: [COLOR=0000FF] [/COLOR]

My pluminette has be "sent to the warehouse" since the beginning of the sale. Not happy! I have received orders that I placed after this one. I want the discount, so I haven't complained/cancelled yet.

how close is missloubi to wms and toxic tale?
Click to expand...
Sorry that took so long! Busy weekend... I shall compare them now! So WMS is lighter than the other two and the least similar. Much lighter and much pinker ("much" in this comparison, but not very much if we were talking about a mega-swatch situation with all the other corals). Toxic Tale is very close but redder and oranger. Miss Loubi is actually rosier than TT, which is weird, I hadn't noticed that before. Like rose as in kind of cool toned, kind of muted pink with a hint of grayish. It's not rosy, it's just a hint rosier, if that makes sense. The texture, pigmentation, and shine are identical with all three. Well, I guess WMS maybe is slightly less pigmented, but it's probably more that it's a lighter shade. I did two in natural lighting (one so you can see the lustre) and one in warm indoor lighting. Yay corals!!! Okay and it took me so long to crop and label the pics that the colors had dried down to matte(ish) and I tried to wipe them off, and I can say that all three have equal stain and equal staying power. They all left identical marks on my arm after being rubbed "off" (off is in parentheses because they won't come off lol).

Love Miss Clichy... It's the berry I have been wanting. A little furious with Sephora- Pluminette has YET to ship. Don't know when/if it will ship, and I will have to pay UPS to intercept it because Sephora can't get it here in a week.

It was too beautiful to pass up! At least it's moved beyond 'in process' to 'sent to warehouse', That leads me to believe I hopefully won't be getting any out of stock notice.
I think I would return Bikini. You have experience with the formula and discern a distinct difference----take it back!!!!

They were OOS and then went back in stock----that's when my order status updated to 'sent to warehouse' so hopefully you'll get a shipment notice soon. BTW, it's still
showing as 'In Stock'. Fingers crossed for all of us who are awaiting Pluminette!!!! Isn't paying nearly $20 less so worth the wait!!!

They're all really pretty and on camera appear pretty close in color

I'm glad you love it. I can't pick a fav between RL satin and RL matte---they definitely look different worn but both look so darned good!!!!

I hear that!!!!!! PO-----product overload!!!! I ordered Youpiyou at the eleventh hour of the VIBR sale. My CL collection was lacking a bright orange-----photos remind me
of YSL Rouge Pur Couture Le Orange but I really won't know until it arrives.

Have you tried/heard of Dry Rose from Laura Mercier? I got it last week & it's a gorgeous mauvey purple. I had a hard time tracking it down, apparently it's a repromote from years ago & it's been selling out like crazy. I found 1 at a random Macys counter, I'll post a swatch just for fun. I thought if anyone has this shade, it would be EO.
