If one of you lovelies who's received Gulabi could do me a huge favour and swatch it next to Catharina from Marcel Wanders, I'd be forever grateful. Need to have my curiosity satisfied as to whether or not they really are dupes...

[/quote] Did you check the swatches on Temptalia? Maybe you want another comparison to confirm. To me, they seem pretty close with the exception being Catharina looks a bit brighter.

Hey, that's a great news! You love Mehr a lot! I'm happy for you! Yay! Can I join you?

Hehehe. My Mehr is still backordered. I'm getting nervous.

Really! I just want MAC to tell me if I'm getting this lippie or not. I got tired of checking the order status everyday. I learned a lesson today. Do not go to bed before you finish ordering from MAC.

I really hope you get it! But, on the other hand, the dupes do seem to be close enough that you could get away with a different color.

Probably a good lesson now that MAC is making everyone basically compete and rush for their products. *rolls eyes*

Elegant, how does Gulabi compares to Gesina from Marcel Wanders?
I adore Gesina and your talk of Gulabi leaning more redish-fuchsia has me adding Gulabi to my must have list.

and gggrrrr...I am still waiting for my Chanel counter to get the Pearls collection. They said "any day now" but I am VERY impatient.

in all 3 pictures:

left - Gulabi
middle - Gesina
right - Full Fuchsia

sorry for the kleenex dust on the lipstick tops

Pics all in natural light. The top swatches are quite accurate to real life. It really did capture that Gulabi is more of a red rosy pink in comparison to Full Fuchsia.

I am off to order Gulabi - I love that deep rosy pink! Definitely not as red as Gesina. It'll be a perfect spring lip!
You're the best, Mama Spy!

(I also think I am going to also order So Vain Kissable Lipstick.....I am in love these KL!)

Looks like the single eyeshadows and lipsticks might be replenished as they all now say "coming soon". No such luck on the blushes which are still listed as "sold out".

IMO - The difference in Gulabi is even more noticeable when you actually put it on the lips.

I am thinking about getting Saffron and Oomph when and if they go back up. Any input on those from my pale NW15 sisters out there?

I have Saffron, and wore it today. It looked great - not too bright at all, but I think I am going to have to wear a base under it in future as it faded within a couple of hours. Mind you, I was at my dance class, so that probably didn't help lol. I wore it with Virgin Isle on my cheeks and lips, as I just needed to put something on quickly as I don't have much time to get ready before dance class.

Saffron

Slight Rosy Browned Terracotta color.

Dark swatch on the left, lighter swatch on the right.

I have nothing else even close to this color.
