UO has IT, the flower ring sorta!
But for way too much!

Did anyone know UO is owned by a Republican that supplied campaign money to the Prop8 campaign? IDK that until a good mofriend told me.

Erine, thank you again for the fabulous swatches! I posted them in the swatch thread as well

WOW, looks like I may be taking Blooming Lovely and English Accents off of my list. They are really close to Lavender Whip and Cultured. I already have LW, and I prefer Cultured over EA. I definately want Dame's Desire though.

Crap, I might be getting more from this collection than I thought...oh well, it is my birthday, and if you can't treat yourself that day, then when can you?

 

[Goat Goat Etc.]

OMG! I don't have to worry about hunting Gladiola at CCO's anymore!
Also BL is pretty CLOSE to LW!!! Thanks Erine~

I was about to buy Blow Dry from my CCO! BD is so weak in comparision to EH! Thanks Erine!

 

[purrtykitty]

And now I'm wondering how I've ever lived without Cultured?!

 

[esme77]

So Blooming Lovely goes on the list, and Ever Hip goes off (I already have Blow Dry). Looking forward to EA to top Blooming Lovely!

What do you have your eye on, Karin?

 

[xoleaxo]

looks like ever hip is off my list, too... too similar to blow dry!

 

[purrtykitty]

Well, originally, just Bough Grey, but now:

Bough Grey e/s
Prim & Proper Blush
Petals & Peacocks (since I don't have Gladiola) l/s
Frankly Fresh l/g
English Accents l/g
Blue India n/

and totally unrelated, Cultured l/g, lol.

Not half bad...I've done worse damage before.

 

[AudreyNicole]

^^ I am wondering how I've made it this far without Cultured too... probably cause I am always too broke after shopping LE collections to even bother looking at permanent stuff.

Your list has really multiplied... for the first time in forever, my has shrunk.

 

[purrtykitty]

Yep, damn swatches!!

j/k Erin!! I love your swatches!

I've looked at Cultured online, but never found the description appealing...I need to remind myself that MAC's descriptions and swatches are rarely ever correct.

NYX Power lipstick might be a really good dupe for Blooming Lovely. I own both Lavender Whip and NYX Power Lipstick but I am too lazy to go compare both right now. I know that they are similar. I find NYX Power lipstick more wearable than Lavender Whip.

I found a blog comparing the two with swatches.
Holley's Beautyful Life: Review: NYX Lipsticks

 

[omgitzstephanie]

Hmm, do I need Blooming Lovely now? I passed Lavender Whip the first time around because I thought it was too purple so I guess I should skip BL now right? I didn't realize how purple BL looked.

 

[GlamQueen21]

I was so close to getting Blow Dry l/s at my CCO but looking at Ever Hip l/s, I might consider getting it instead of BD. Now looking at Lavender Whip, it reminds me why I didn't get it in the first place!
