Ok the pic I posted before with the neon orange lipstick was lined with auburn pencil, after I got home and checked my stash of new liners I seen I had half red which is pretty close to auburn so here's the pics of this combo, top is with flash bottom is without

so i ended up picking up RS, HJ and TD. TD is kinda like ms beauty bunni described - an orange nude. i don't think i have any lipsticks that look quite so yellow, but the lustre finish makes it a good thing in my books...

i thought RS might be a fail when i tried it in store, because it was SUPER ASHY on my hand...but, on the face - not ashy at all. it showed up a lovely peachy pink shade. the mua was actually surprised at 'how nice it looked'...i think she expected most of the shades would not be suited to darker skintones. i haven't tried HJ on, but i think if RS worked, HJ should not be an issue.

i didn't try on anything else on my face... the rest of the lipsticks were outside my comfort zone, and they did not have neon orange, which i thought might have worked. but i guess i can try to pick it up at pro sometime....
Only one lippie? I knew I should have went to the store tonite to check out RS and the quad. I came home and crashed out.

I gotta say the sunset blush really color blocks the orange lippies.... It's too dark For swatches but o man it really counteracts Em 94 YJ white.

I figured as much. I rushed to Macy's today to try Honey Jasmine. I virtually disappeared on my hand and RS was a bit ashy on my hand as well. I wondered if it was like Immortal Flower and the others last year that swatched poorly on my hand but looked lovely on my face. I may just try these two again. But goodness knows I don't need any more orangey/corally blushes. I can't wait for lipstick delivery tomorrow.

The trip wasn't a total waste because I bought Elegant's rec - Smashbox CC cream. The rec came just in time because I had noticed a lot dark spots on the side of my face that I don't really even notice when I make up my face and I was looking to get some kind of lightening cream. I thought I'd give it a try. I think I am between the two darkest colors. I decided to go with the medium because I figured I would put something over it anyway and I wasn't sure if the dark would work for layering. I may be able to give the dark a go come summer time when I get a little bit darker. But we'll see how it goes when I try it tomorrow.
let us know how you like it and if it works.

REALLY had to stop myself from forcing liners on all these new orange lippies!  I am ADDICTED to lip liners, but I think these shades look best on me worn alone.  For example, I have Flamingo from the previous release.  Thought I didn't like it at all... just didn't "do" anything for me really.  Stored it away.  This release had me dusting it off and just swatching it quickly on my lips, NO liner, and completely different result!  Went from "MEH" to "LOVE" in a couple swipes.  I was happy to grab a BU from the secret site the other day since it's a lustre and I know they go quick! (I'm looking at you Venus lippie!) I look a little awful in this pic cause I'm sooooo sick w/ the worst cold/sinus crap EVER right now (due to all my traveling lately I imagine)... BUT that doesn't stop a TRUE makeup addict from trying her new Sushi Kiss lippie today!  NC30/35 for reference. Hope everyone scored what they wanted!!!   AND SHELLCAT... I'm going to need to see those TD & S&S lippies on you PRONTO missy!  HeeHee  But seriously, I do!
Man, wish I looked like that when I'm sick lol. You still look gorgeous. Loving it on you. I love Venus too! One of the few things I've bu'd

LOL....
sounds pretty! enjoy your AAO goodies!
my plan is definitely to go well into my 70's, (heck 80's and 90's if i'm lucky enough) wearing mac...i still have a few makeup-wearing years to go ;)
hope your allergy subsides soon!

thanks for your thoughts on the quad. it looks so pretty....i might try and catch that one in the CCO's. i hadn't heard of any dupes for the LE shades, and already own typographic. if i buy it at a CCO, i can just about justify having a duplicate eyeshadow ;)
