Don't know if these pics were taken under similar lighting but Pulsion looks very different from those, more red:

Wonderful...maybe I do need it!

No, R & RI looked almost the same in the bottle or in bad lighting, but on they are different enough

I really don't mind the baked quads! I do agree that the square pans look nicer and they don't get as messy.

They actually look different in her pics. RI seems to me a cleaner pink, perhaps a bit warmer than Riviera. Like Elegant, I looove Riviera, it's just the perfect bright pink, not hot pink, not fuschia, not too blue or yellow, just the perfect pink!

So ya, this smilie does not make any sense in this particular post, but my daughter picked it out!

Exactly! Its the perfect pink color on. I wish that I would've bought 2 Riviera

but thats probably not a good idea for polishes. Maybe they'll make it perm.

EDIT: Aww that is so cute! I love to see what catches her eye.

Sooooooooooo my local Nordstrom has the collection. Pleasing gloss is TO DIE FOR! Love it! Bought it. So sad that I have to wait for the rest now from NM, I ALMOST did a double purchase, but alas... I'm not that crazy (or flush, lol). I tried the Patchouli lipstick... YES! Perfect. I also got the mascara. But it's going back tomorrow. This stuff is NOT good. Omg. YSL and Armani are kicking Chanel's ass in the mascara department.

Which Chanel mascara did you purchase? I've heard good things about Exceptionnel. I agree about Armani mascara though, Eyes to Kill is my HG! I heard they're churning out an "Eyes to Kill Excess" mascara that's supposed to be blacker and more volumizing.

I wonder if Pulsion np has dupes in OPI, Essie, or in other brands? I think it looks similar to NARS Schiap polish. Still thinking if I need it since it's not as unique as Paradoxal or the Khakis.

Also, does anyone know how close Rose Dilemma is to Charming glossimer and is one sheerer than the other? They look very similar as well.

Is Pleasing gloss really brown with flashes of pink?? I didn't think I wanted it until I heard that description somewhere.

I was going to post Holiday 2010 FOTD pics today but I looked like poop in them :-(

I LOVE the quad. It is sparkly though so there is some fallout but it is nice sparkle and not over the top at all. It really is a gorgeous quad!

I may keep Magnolia. I'm not sure. It is definatley NOT like other Rouge Coco's but it is nice. Just not the lasting power. It is more sheer and creamy and actually has a glossy finish. It also has sparkles in it. Makes adding a gloss on top unnecessary. Definately not your typical RC. Patchouli also has sparkles in it as opposed to the typical sort of frosty shimmer that some RC's have.

I was seriously trying to convince myself that I don't need the quad, but now I guess it is just inevitable

Have any of the Canadian girls seen this collex here? I want that Patchouli l/s and a couple of the glossimers.

Or maybe I should just get them in the US as I will be vacationing in NYC and Washington D.C. in like 6 days

I'm guessing everything is cheaper in the US.

This sounds lovely -- creamy and glossy with sparkles

Is the color a medium or darker pink?

Absolutely not dark. I would call it light pink but some may say light to medium. Maybe I'll post one of my horrendous pics lol

I have posted quite a bit on these theads about how it is definatley cheaper for me to order online from Neiman Marcus in the US even after duty and taxes. You should be able to see examples I've posted. It would definatley be way way cheaper to actually buy in the US and save the duty too! Have fun shopping!!!!!
