So disappointed. I just found out that dominique is a barney's exclusive, and won't be available at sephora. Companies always do that with their more uniques products :(

I agree with you totally. It sucks. They took one of the most popular shades and made it hard to reach (unless purchasing online) for us purple enthusiasts. I know ordering online is not a problem but it is an issue if you want to try on the lipstick first. Returning stuff is an inconvenience. How many states have a Barney's. Washington, NY, CA? The bottom is not many. $&?#

Tell me about it girl. I want Vivien badly!
Totally. Like, I pretty much never order stuff online as I only use a debit card/ live in canada so it tends to cost too much in shipping and customs fees. Like, they shouldn't be so exclusive. Like honestly, it's a bit pretentious to only have it and the other exclusive shades available at a pretty high end inaccessible store. They'd make more money selling it at sephora. It just bugs me so much cause it's the perfect grey undertoned cool lavender, like you never find those in a permanent collection, let alone in a decent formula. Normally, I'd let it go due to the inconvenience, but this time I may pay the shipping fees just cause it's such a nice lipstick. Yeah, returning stuff is always frustrating. Glad I'm not the only one who thinks this is unfair. Mutual sympathy for all of us unique lipstick lovers. Sorry for the long rant, I'm just really disappointed.

OMG OMG OMG....Audrey is seriously gorgeous. I mean I expected it's a really dark plummy shade, but NO WAY! It's lot different from swatches.
It's soft rosy red on my lips. It's like a deep version of Dolce Vita matte lip pencil with a hint of plum or purple. Compared to Dolce Vita, I can say Audrey is slightly cooler, whereas Dolce Vita is warmer.

By the way, does anybody have Tom Ford lipsticks? How are they? Which one do you prefer between Audacious lipsticks and TF?
My friend highly recommended me Pink Dusk and Flamingo (she recommends all the time), but I'm not sure they're worth the money. I mean it's really expensive. $50 per lipstick??!! Besides, they have quite noticeable shimmer which I don't prefer.
There're no TF counters in my neighborhood, so I can't see them in person and that's why I'm asking.:)

I may or may not have ordered Anita and Jane from from Bloomingdales because I may or may not have had those good Bloomingdales rewards points. :haha:

I just got Twist of Fate and Negligee. These are my first TF lipsticks. In my personal experience, I do like the formula a bit better on the TF than the Nars Audacious. I can't vouch for the whole line, but the formula on the 2 I have is as little thinner and I find it a little more forgiving if you've got lip lines or roughness. When I wear Raquel, I get that visible line on the inside of my bottom lip and constantly have to press my lips together and rub to try to keep it from really settling/gunking if you know what I mean. Not bad, but def not perfect. TOF and Negligee have no visible shimmer on the lips that I've noticed. The TF feel more lightweight to me. Almost like I'm wearing a stain. I prefer that, but of course everyone's different. I think both are long-lasting. HTH!
