Are Fresh Buzz and Awaken at all similar?

I was checking out Jude's swatch thread for Culturebloom, and I have 12 empties for B2M. I know I want Fresh Buzz and I like Awaken too, but it looks kinda similar in the swatches. Are they too similar to get both?

I think they are very similar. You can barely tell the difference when I wear them.
I liked Awaken better at first, but I decided it washed me out a bit. Fresh Buzz is (very)slightly more flattering on me.
It's really up to you, but if I had to do it again, I would only buy one out of the two.

On me, they're nothing at all alike. I have rather pigmented lips, and on me, Awaken appears as a lightly frosted peachy beige (not as frosty as other MAC l/s can be, at least in my experience), while Fresh Buzz is a gorgeous neutral frosty pink (definitely not too cool for me to pull off with my warm coloring).

Each looks completely different on me, and I like both for different reasons, but if I HAD to choose one, I'd probably go with Fresh Buzz, only because it's rare that I can find a pink that flatters me.

HTH a bit!

Fresh Buzz on me is a very frosty, neutral pink that switches between a gold and pink iridescence. It is absolutely gorgeous, infact, I bought a backup which is something I never, ever do. Awaken, on the other hand is a peachy frost.

IMO, Frsh Buzz was *super* metallic-y. Which is cool if you like metallics, but I don't. I'm returning it today to get Awaken!! Lol.

Fresh buzz is very frosty looking on my lips....irredescent even...

Awaken is more of a glimmery beige.

I think they are both totally different on my lips.

I have both and they're very different on me. Awaken is a coral peachy nude with a bit of shimmer (not a 'frost') and Fresh Buzz is a gorgeous neutral shimmery pink with a bit of an extra pink iridescent kick. Both are nice, but I'm also considering a Fresh Buzz backup!
