:screams: noooooooooo I want so much more than I should want right now!! I started 2017 vowing not to buy lip products and I love those lip tints... also love the multiple tints and both e/s duos, but will probably only get one multiple, the Old Church Street duo, and maybe all 3 lip tints.... but I shouldn't

Old church duo looks a lot like Rajastan

I think I am going to skip the whole collection

It definitely does look similar, but I think the texture of OCS looks nicer than Rajasthan. Plus I don't own Rajasthan so that justifies my purchase haha

This is random...but is anyone else kind of creeped out by Karen's new extreme close up lip and eye images?!? I am not liking it...maybe if she zoomed out just a bit...#justsaying #toocloseforcomfort

I am not liking them either. I think she has been experimenting with photos lately and her product images are so much better than before

I do agree, her images are improving. ;)

I've been wanting to ask you if you're into workout wear with what you do? I joined Fabletics about 4 months ago & I really really love their leggings & tops. They do run on the small side mostly because of the high compression fabric which is amazing. It firms & leaves no jigglin anywhere lol. When you join, you get to choose 2 pairs of leggings at an insane cheap price - $24. The quality is WAY better than Nike, Underarmour etc. which are overpriced. It's co-owned by Kate Hudson. Just thought maybe you would be into this.

Hey lady! I sure am!

I agree! Nike and UA are overpriced and the quality is sometimes questionable.
Currently, I am all about Victoria Secret Sport. I find the styles and cut of their bras and sports pants are perfect for my curvy muscular build. Also their sports pants are thick, opaque and high compression...no see through anything and highly supportive.

I have heard of Fabletics but I am not a fan of subscription based fashion. You mentioned their clothing runs small...and that is the other reason I have been skeptical. I am muscular, have thighs and a booty, and think I would be out sized...meaning things would not fit me.

p.s ALL ~ I messaged Karen about her images. She just made another post and it is too much for me to handle. So I sent on some friendly criticism...I hope she won't be offended.

I have several pieces of the VS too. I agree, they fit very nice. I like crazy looking wear, so I think that's what attracted me to fabletics & they have some sexy tops :) Yeah, they might now be what you would want. I'm always looking for new brands to try.

I have Rajasthan and it is my all time favorite NARS duo.

From what I'm seeing in the swatches, Old Church left side is warmer and more golden. Rajasthan left side is a barley taupe, sorta like Burberry Pale Barley.
Right side Old Church looks more slate, while right side Rajasthan looks more teal/blue/green.

I think it's very different and can justify both.

I don't have Rajasthan and this is the one thing grabbing my attention from this collection so I am definitely getting it. I love the slate and the peach is totally me. I also LOVE the brush set but it's a bit pricey. Will have to see about that one.

I think this is going to be a skip for me. It's a good thing....I've purchased way too much makeup lately.

Thank you for the comparison! Think Old Church is right up my alley, I'm pretty excited about it!

That article is from Singapore, so it will probably cost less here in the US. Based on the price of past brush sets from Nars I'm thinking around $180. Just a guess though.

You are right on. April Glamour article lists the 5 piece brush set at $175.00 ;)
