I would say LA is lighter, like a muted version of LC. LC is a more intense pink colour.
Launch Away seems very similar texture wise to Immortal Flower and Lovecloud (those are only TC blushes I have so far). It seems to be a bit more powdery when picking up the product, but applied on the skin they're very much alike.
This seals the deal. TY so much for confirming that, of course now I need both p/b but that's okay, I think I am starting to narrow the potential haul as the swatches roll in. I like Europe getting this first with all the swatches it is cutting down on the impulse buying and paranoia that stuff will sell out so I am taking chances on stuff that doesn't work out.
My list:
- TCAS lippy still a go
- SLV lippy oh yes, gotta have it, my favorite of the collection
- Shore Leave PL l/p
- Jaunty e/s
- Lauch Away and Fleet Fast p/b (now both are a must, since TC I am now a confirmed blush crack ho)
- Nude on Board bronzer (plus possibly a BU, but I am trying to be good, right?)
- 168! (nuff said)
These are moving to the maybe pile:
- Old gold piggie (can't resist the stripe cute jar)
- Crystal Avalanche (will be cut if I need to save cash since its perm, but I love the packaging--oh noes)
- Gone Sailing tote (love it, but its expensive and ultimately dupeable minus the MAC logo)
- Au Rose suntint (its the prettiest in the swatches and I want to try the product, but if cuts have to happen, I can live without it ultimately)
- 167SH
- Man Rays oil (still focused on that "multidimensional sparkle" but need to know about scent and where the heck would I use this product as I am not a professional body builder and no where near a beach?) probably, ultimately, a skip that I will find months from now and buy at the CCO
Well, still this haul is going to hurt, but I won't have to sell any body parts to afford the haul. Maybe just an unborn child...
