^ Erin, you're my hero!

The dupe list helps me to guess what the official products look a like.

Do you know which e/s might look close to Sweet Joy?

Innocence, Beware! was added to my wish list, too. I don't think I have anything similar.

Hope to see more swatches, soon!

You are welcome!

I would love to continue this idea as well. I think dupes for LE collections are always requested.

This is puzzling me, too.

I know! It makes zero sense.

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

Aside from some questionable matches (BAre Study), the dupe list is incredibly useful- Thanks Erine!

I also have to say, though, that it sort of sucked away my excitement for the collection. I have such a big number of the dupes already, including items like Vegas Volt and Fluid that I find beautiful but barely use, that I think I should start crossing the products they match up to off my list.

MDM-earthly riches: I thought so. What about the Deep purple pigment, could that dupe? If not, I was thinking the same effect.

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

As much as I am grateful to Erin

-- whom I lubbs and respect immensely, I think you guys should remember that the "dupes" are for guidance only.. and therefore not the exact color. If you can live with a similar color -- that means use it and enjoy it, cool

IF you want the true color and not a dupe, you will not be happy with the dupes (even if you have it).

Think of it this way: the base colour is similar, but the finished product has been revised and changed and the is different from the original

I am a stickler for colour and although I have Fleur Power, and can and do use it (I think I did post it in photobucket -- where's Spunky?) .... it is DIfferent from BOA.

which has more of a red (think a Scarlet Red hybrid with FP).

As is BR from Dame -- they are not identical. So enjoy the dupe list and use whenever you can or want.

No frowny faces if you do not get the same exact shade

by using a dupe
