Yay, list twins!!  :frenz:   I have a few greys already, so I'm not jumping at this quad.  Maybe I'm weird for this, but grey just isn't a color I feel I need more than two or three shades of.  Plus since one of the colors in the quad is a perm color, that's always a drawback in my mind, unless the other three colors are really stunning.  Most importantly, I have to keep my AAO list as short as possible so I can spend spend spend on TT!
Yay! :hug: What are the doubts you have on SnS? I have ever hip and others like that, so I'm not so sure about it yet.

Ablaze is almost exactly the same as Toxic Tale. Don't tell me you skipped that one

I got it and it takes a gloss to make it work (which is why I probably swapped TT to begin with and then lived with that regret for years). I will prob'ly get Neon Orange and perhaps a blush, but thinking the other summer collections are where my wallet will bleed this summer...

Basically I'm just less enthusiastic about SnS than SK, and the way my wallet has been hemorrhaging money on makeup lately, if I don't love it, I'm not going to buy it. I'm thinking I'd like it and that I don't have anything quite like it in my collection, but it's gotten to a point where I just have to stop and ask myself if I love it. Every swatch I've seen of SK makes me think "Oh I am definitely getting that!" whereas the few SnS swatches make me think "Looks nice." Of course, as more swatches come out, SnS could possibly get bumped into the "love it" category, but if not then it's one more SnS in MAC's limited stock for someone who really loves it to get their hands on!

ah wish we had a cco here in Canada .. my upper lip is pigmented brown and the bottom is pink with brown outline. maybe that's why it looks off on me..now im thinking If may have the same issue with ss and rdazzler.. I need to see swatches on darker tones or go try it out in person which means skipping out on buying online only to find out its sold out in stores!
Lip twins!
Triplets!

I finally caved and am getting ripe for love when it comes out at nordies. Which means I need to skip AT LEAST or of these blushes, because I just bought the nars Pierre hardy ones as well. So which one (or 2, but I'm trying not to go there) is a must have for nc14/bluey-green eyes, and light brown hair? Erin? Anyone?

Skip honey jasmine and go for immortal flower and/or royal sunset. Honey jasmine would bring out the blue in your eyes, but it's more orangey, and i think the other two are easier to work with.

Anyone have thoughts on whether or not IF blush is worth buying? I feel like I'd be perfectly content with just Royal Sunset.

I'd like to know whether or not there is really any difference between IF and Royal Sunset. I don't have Immortal Flower so would like to get that one, but is there any point getting Royal Sunset too if I get Immortal Flower? I don't want to get both if they are practically the same.

They don't look similar to me. IF is peach and RS is pink, if you ask me.

I like IF, but I could live without it. Don't really wear it much.
I think I'm skipping HJ, I already have Modern Mandarin and RFL and I can't keep buying blushes left and right. And I want to try other brands as well, so just RS for me.

Hmm, maybe I will just go with Royal Sunset instead of IF, since I have Peaches and Blazing Haute. I think I will skip HJ, too, since I have Shu Uemura Vivid Orange, which doesn't look all that different.

I can live without IF too. It looks pretty on the finger when swatched though. I much prefer Modern Mandarin from that collection.

I saw on Temptalia that she said IF is like a light version of theBalm's Frat Boy, which I have, so all the more reason to skip IF. For sure I'll get Royal Sunset, but maybe I'll get HJ instead of IF if I decide to get a second blush (plus i have Ripe for Love coming).
