Yes! I want to fall asleep all the time in here. The light directly above me was out and I wanted it left that way but I guess someone called and had it fixed. Ugh
When I worked for PNC I was friends with the building engineer so if I wanted my light out he would turn it off, if I was cold and wanted the vent turned the other way I would text him and he would come right over. One time the Blue Angels were flying over the city so he took me on the roof to watch them. Ahh, good times. Haha

You all look very beautiful in your swatches! There were far too many to quote. You're all rocking them
There were so many pages I had to catch up on I had to just scan through to all the pictures posted. I couldn't read through everything, it would've taken me all day!

So I'm wearing Whirl again today but I wanted to see how it looked pinked up so I added Anastasia liquid lipstick in Bambi (crazy bright pink- I always use it to pink up other colors bc it really makes a strong pink base that can't be easily drowned out like some other pinks can) underneath and I really like this shade! This is actually how I picture Whirl in my head lol I like it regular but I feel like regular is more fall toned and for summer I'll probably wear it lighter like this For all the ladies not happy with the brown, definitely try it w some type of pink base!

I love it! It looks awesome on you. Maybe I'll check Nordies to see if they release tomorrow and I'll see how it looks over SG. If it looks anything like yours I will not be able to resist the Whirl.

I called my local Nordies tonight and they said they release it next Thursday.

This is exactly how I feel! I haven't had a chance to read the thread this week, so the bombardment of gorgeous swatches was a treat! Thank you ladies!

I want to see that! I love Tom Hardy, he is a beautiful specimen. I met him when they were filming the Batman movie in Pittsburgh. He was all decked out in his Bane costume. His body alone knocked the wind out of me, I've never seen him so bulked up before, it was beautiful.

They filmed in the middle of summer so the poor thing had a tan line on his head and face from having to wear the mask. Haha.
It was a lot better than I thought it'd be and agree with you that Tom Hardy is one hell of a nice looking specimen.

Just tried on all my new babies and I Love Tropic Tonic and D for Danger!!! I like MLM much more than RRB and LJ. Persistence is pretty and Whirl is the mauvey nude I wanted it to be. I'm going back for MR and Stone.
Pics of TT please Miss Sassy!

Love, love, love this idea! I will be using my Bambi this way for all my MAC lippies that turn too brown (or orangey-brown) on me.
Definitely try Bambi as a base! I use it on its own but it's also my go to pink base bc it's so strong and isn't easily covered. It works under so many colors

D for Danger. Love love love. The pic doesn't do it justice. I think this is my new power lipstick. I feel amazing in it.
Stone with NYX Prune liner which is described as a "violet-plum". Flash and indoor lighting No flash. My deer caught in a headlight look :haha:  
Ok sooo I decided to dig into my order to get a feel for the colors:

Antique Velvet Surprisingly I love AV!! Stone and Whirl are my top faves and MR is a wearable blue so I like that. MLM I'll swatch along with RRB n UTA later!!
My black box came LATEEE!!! Of course I read UPS for filth and blood!!! Anyhow, I had to be to work n didn't have time to play with all my colors, so I threw on Matte Royal real fast... Please excuse my rush job with its lack of color correcting, eyebrows and so on lol

Persistence. Please excuse the lame bathroom lighting.

I'm loving allll of them minus stone. it washes me out completely . MLM is now my replacement for UTA, I love it so much!! Whirl is definitely one of those mlbb lippies, I'll be keeping this one in my purse for touch ups. I gotta get used to AV since I don't have a such a intense brown lippie like it. I do love it on me tho
Here's a quick pic after work. MLM is very similar to RRB but it has more of a shine to it than RRB even though they're both matte. And I looooooove D

for Danger!! So happy with both.
Finally tried Whirl today with Whirl lip liner. It looks more brown on me. I'll try it with a pink liner next time.

If I thought Nude and SiS were the perfect nude for my skin tone, Stone is my exact nude. Like it nearly matches my skin totally. It really mutes out my lips...in a good way. I like! Perfect for a heavy eye look. Glad it's perm. It reminds me of how I like VGR2 lipstick. It's the same concept on me but frost. Some won't like it...

With NYX Bloom liner Someone kick me in the shin the next time I say I'm buying a similar color. Didn't include Lavender Jade and some others because I felt they leaned too lavender...

I tried on Stone and Matte Royal really quick before I take my makeup off for the night. These are in bathroom lighting, it's been so rainy (and cold!) here so i hope these show up somewhat true to color Stone. I like this even if it's a weirdo shade on me lol reminds me of the 20s

Matte Royal which my friend describes as "Plumpy from Candyland color"

Box finally came!  Matte Royal definitely still pulls purple on me rather than blue but that's ok it's still very unique.  Stone is pretty much exactly how I wanted it to look.  Whirl does pull a tiny bit more brown than I would have hoped but it's not make me want to cry brown lol I think it's ok on me on it's own and in fall will be pretty.  I'll probably pair it with a pinker color underneath though when I wear it Matte Royal, Whirl, Stone Top to bottom- Stone, Whirl, Matte Royal Comparison of Whirl (top) and Boca (bottom) Whirl on me (NW 10)
Took me forever to pull everyone up on the phone lol But you ladies look so beautiful in your new lippies :eyelove:

Those, along with Whirl, are what I pre-ordered. I was a bit hesitant about Steady Going but my MA showed me how great it looks over Soar and I caved in. Besides, I have two daughters who are happy to take anything that doesn't work off my hands. My older one is already asking if I think Whirl will work on me. :haha:  
Ooh I do have soar...maybe I should try that!
There were so many pages I had to catch up on I had to just scan through to all the pictures posted. I couldn't read through everything, it would've taken me all day!
I know there was lots to read and look through! Tons of beautiful photos!
I finally tried Runway Hit today and I really like it, I think it's a must have.
Oh a must have! I can't wait to try it, I really want to love it!
My Pro store already had them out when I went in this past Sunday. I like Maison, so I'll definitely like Stone. I'll be picking up my package tomorrow or Friday.
I didn't even think to call my Pro Store I just went to my closest store, I can't wait to check them out tomorrow!

Now... I will say Whirl lip liner and lipstick are different colors but they r not far off... The l/l is definitely a dirty rose color while the l/s is a pink-tinged brown nude but u know wut, they look beautiful together... A super pretty nude look for everyday on every skintone... Whirl lipglass anyone??? I'd be innn
