I went to Barneys and picked up Dominique and Vivien yesterday. I was so excited to try the exclusive shades and they were incredibly smooth, pigmented, and ugh, I just love them! It's pretty funny that I ended up with Vivien despite returning Givenchy's Violine Précieux. I guess that touch of coolness is what I was looking for? I'll just keep telling myself that...

Here are some outdoor hand swatches of the two Barneys exclusive shades in direct sun/shade:





As a side note: The SA was out of control. I told him I wanted to try Dominique on and before I knew it, he practically redid my full face. He also managed to turn that amazing lavender into this awkward brown thing by sculpting my lips with a chocolate brown eyeliner (Mambo) and topping it with a golden nude gloss (Striptease).
Wowwwww. Vivien added to the list.

Have you tried blotting it? You have to be light on the application. I'm heavy-handed and accustomed to layering a lipstick and I'm still learning that less is more with these.
Yeah, I have. I'm heavy handed too so it was definitely a learning curve with it. But idk, I'm just not feeling it on it's own. I will throw a gloss on it and wear it though.

I think my next 2 are pretty finalized, I've decided on Charlotte and Olivia. I'm trying to stay away from the red reds bc I have sooooo many reds. But this line is the kind that I want to buy all the shades from, even ones I probably have dupes of just bc the formula is so amazing On a sidenote I love that Charlotte is a deep raspberry red, my guinea pig is named Charlotte and loves raspberries and always gets them all over her face lol it's too perfect

Trying to decide between Anita and Brigitte. Brigitte seems to be a little more opaque the Anita on swatches, is that correct?

Yea, I agree. That is how they swatched on me aswell. Both are stunning though, you really can't go wrong with either.
Thank you, girls

JEEEEEEEESHH I love these puppies. I've been blinded by high end lipstick lately... my Mac obsession has finally substantially curbed after 3 years. I'm gonna take my time collecting these since I want so many and they're expensive. That plus the fact that I just splurged on two more Givenchy Le Rouge lipsticks (if you like Anna, check out Rose Plumetis from Givenchy's new fall line... totally stunning and comes in burgundy leather packaging.) I'm feeling so inspired by these Audacious lipsticks and all you ladies in this thread! Totally different feel in here than in the Mac threads. Anyways, I encourage people to keep swatching/posting pics from this fantastic line! These might become my favorite high end lipsticks........maybe

OK ladies, more awesome swatches! This video isn't in English so I cued it to the swatch portion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVBjPZLGzRg#t=112

I don't think I've ever fallen this hard for a lipstick line

It's something about the fall lines this year. I've been lippy crazy and normally I'm a nude lip/balm kind of girl. First the Guerlain KissKiss lipsticks got me. Then I bought all 3 LE giorgio armani sheers from the fall collection. Now these audacious lipsticks. Have the lipstick brands finally started to nail it? Or maybe I'm just finally going through my experimental lip phase.
