There are 40 total. However some of them are exclusives to Nars and Barney's. I believe 10 can only be purchased at Nars or Barney's.

I hate to order just one thing, but I ordered Barbara only b/c it's the only shade I'm interested in that didn't show availability at my local Sephora under the store locator. Can't wait to try it and I'm only $28 away from renewing rouge. That'll happen this week, I'm sure.

Well ladies, I've had a chance to wear Ingrid twice now. The first time I wore it I was a bit disappointed. The color is fine but since I have so many close to it, it isn't particularly unique. It was also darker and less 'burgundy' than I had envisioned. It might have pulled that color on T but not on me. Anyways, the formula is nice but nothing to write home about in my opinion. Not for the extra price of $32. I didn't find it any better than NARS' normal lipsticks. Don't get me wrong, the lipstick is nice and the formula isn't bad. Just not quite worth the extra money. I wore Ingrid again yesterday and like it a bit better. Maybe cause I knew what to expect. LOL I pair it with Nightmoth. So having said all that, as of right now I think I might only be picking up Charlotte and then eventually Fanny perhaps in the upcoming months.
The good news is my closest Nordstrom's did get these in so I plan on going up there to swatch later tonight. I might be excited about some more colors then!

I'm going to say that Temptalia's swatches were not a good resource for me personally at all. I love her site, but I ordered 4 colors based on her swatches (I knew they wouldn't be exact) and NONE were remotely close to the swatches. They were much darker and the undertones much more different on me. I'm a lot darker than she is, so I expected the shades to be lighter on me than on her. Lol. I noticed today a lot of comments were posted about the Mac lipstick she reviewed being much darker IRL, so maybe she has some really strong lighting.

Usually I find T's swatches close enough but with the Audacious Lippies they were quite a bit off. The Diva Lipstick that was reviewed looks nothing like that on me at ALL! I was quite surprised by that one!!

So, I got to swatch these today WOOT! I went to a very nice mall far away & their Sephora which only had like 20 shades boo & Saks had almost all of them. Its so weird that the Nordies at this mall does not carry Nars. I bought Brigitte which is this lovely light nude rose pink with kind of a warm vintage rose pink look to it. Its very very flattering on me. It was the most popular at Sephora as there was only one left. I'll post pics tomorrow.
HEY SHONTAY DOLL (lol) Barbara is VERY pretty in person. I wasn't sure how it would look on my lips, but I put it in my Nordies cart right away.
Fanny, Janet, & Vera were really really pretty in person. Michiyo was insanely vivid bright magenta pink fuchsia. I wasn't as wild about Angela in person. The shade just seemed a bit too fakey to me I dunno. I really really love Natalie which was a bit different in person than a lot of the swatches I've seen. Its a warmer slightly brighter flamingo pink. I have that in my cart too.

I felt like Anita was too close to my own lip color but darker than my lips. It is pretty though.
I miss those emoticons lol

I noticed too that the lighting in Saks made them look just slightly different than the swatches in Sephora. The lighting sucked in both places.
