How sad...

Ladies, how does Strawberry Fields compare to Viva Cyndi l/g?

I keep going back and forth on these 2, and they look too similar in swatches for me to justify getting both.

They are not similar at all! Cyndi is coral. SF is, well, dark strawberry. See above for my pic wearing SF.

A lot of WOC complain that Douceur doesn't show up on them but I am skeptical of the reviews because some said Plaisir was squat and it's fine on my NW43/NC50 skin.

see Douceur didn't show up on me, but I have Plaisir and that shows up nicely on my NC50 skintone.

You look beautiful!

I guess they just look really similar to me in some swatches.

Hmmm...

 

[elektra513]

The only thing I would say is that maybe lighting would be a factor, but in this case, they're not even close. And maybe if you do a thin layer of SF like I did in my original pic...but still.

Here's more pics I just took of them together.

Top:VG Cyndi
Bottom: Nars Strawberry Fields

With Flash, Left: VGC, Right: Nars SF

Same, no flash

I agree! I am so glad to have tracked this one down recently (thanks to an awesome Specktra member). Outlaw is love

THANKS SO MUCH, ELEK!!!!!

Whoa, those colors aren't even remotely similar. You must've thought I was crazy, lol! I think I needed to see both colors on the same skin tone. They are different enough to justify me purchasing both. A million thanks, beautiful!

I need to check out this lippie.

I have been wearing my Gina and Taos blushes out lately! I love them. Thanks so much for the recs on Gina everyone...I never would have picked it up but I love it especially layered with other things.

 

[sss215]

Taos is my favorite one. LOVE IT! I want China Blue also. I have a thing for mid to dark blue shadows. I am in my blue period when it comes to makeup.

I gave NARS a bit of love last night wearing deep throat blush with MAC spaced out blush + NARS albatross as a highlight.. it was a great combo!! I layered my lips with MAC Twig lipstick with NARS dolce vita.

With all this love for Gina I need it in my life ladies! I'm getting a CP from sephora but Gina is not listed as part of the NARS blushes? is it atleast in store? or do I need to order it from the NARS website? All the help is appreciated <3
