I have FOD...wasn't comparing that to these at all. FOD is a little different color wise on me than TTT/Media is anyway...so if we are talking about color then I can't really compare them outright. If we're comparing application then that's different. FOD applies more smoothly than TTT on it's own but I've found an acceptable fix (for me) to take care of that issue so that's not a problem for me. FOD is a gorgeous color....just darker/a bit more brown on me than TTT. So yeah....this is ONLY about matching color for color and not application (except to say that two lippies that are the same color but different textures apply differently).

Agreed. If you talk ttt and fod no lip liners no nothing they are different shades. Fod is way more brown. Though on some people they are similar and to some people it's just a dark deep color but we are not some people lol

Thank you so much for doing this. BOTH lipsticks look lovely on you. I do see a slight difference on you. For those unable to get TTT, FOD is a comparable substitute. BTW- Do you have Nars' Train Bleu? It also very close to FOD and TTT; however, TB is Very, very dark Brown. It doesn't have a lot of wine in it. What do you think?

Thank you. No I don't have TB but I am curious about it. Burberry Bright Poppy surprisingly is somewhat similar to these colors also if I remember correctly (less brown so probably closer to what TTT looks like on me). I really need to wear that one again lol. One of the best applying non-drying mattes I've ever tried. So honestly...TTT isn't a terribly unique color at all. I think we all had high hopes for the retro matte formula of it. I might need to check out TB though...although I'm not sure how many variations of the same dark vampy lippie I really need lol. All of these I have were coincidences I figured out after the fact so I'm now starting to be a little more aware of what I pick up in this color range...although right now I'm kinda loving this dark lippie phase...just amping me up more for Punk Coutoure. That's when the vampy fun really happens lol

Very pretty! I agree with you, even thought FOD is easier to work with, I like TTT better on me. FOD pulls more brown on me while TTT is more of a deep rich burgundy-cranberry on me. I love it, its very regal. I MUST find a b/u! lol!!!

I finally got my hands on Diamonds CCB! Anyone have suggestions on how to use it?

When I got it I didn't exactly know how to use it either and was told to try patting it on with your finger tips when you're using it instead of just rubbing it in to apply. I use it mainly as a cheekbone highlight and sometimes as a brow or cupid's bow highlight as well. Hope that helps. :)

For those of you who remember my Nordstrom launch day debacle, here's another update. My Dulles Towne Center store didn't get their shipment of TTT that day but got everything else. We were told we had to just keep calling the store and it would be a first come, first served type of deal. After two weeks they said it wasn't ever coming. I emailed a complaint to Nordstrom.com. Someone addressed it and apologized and said they would forward it to the local store. The store manager called me two weeks ago (on a Saturday...impressive) to apologize. I was busy at the time so she left a voicemail asking me to call her back. I was kind of just done with apologies and had moved on. This past Monday she called again. Then she emailed me and said she had a TTT on hold for me and was preparing to ship it to me! I called and couldn't reach her, so I emailed her back. I gave her my address and told her she could put it on my Nordstrom account. She emailed me back and said she would give me a call after 4 today. I was flying when she called but her voicemail explained how sorry she was for that bad experience and that the lipstick would be sent free of any charges! I finally spooks with her tonight and she explained what happened and said she wasn't trying to make excuses, but that she felt that I deserved to know exactly what happened. She really went above and beyond to make this up to me! She said they take their customer service very seriously and try to right wrongs when they can. A free TTT?! My faith in Nordies is restored!

TBH I'm not head over heels with it on its own. But the babies it makes when you put it on top of other lipsticks are so beautiful! Like on top of RiRi Woo (or any red liner/lipstick that's similar) or Embrace Me...it's gorgeous.

"The babies it makes" had me LMFAO!

Also does anyone know who may still have Diamonds in stock...I need a bu;)

My SA texted me a couple of hours ago and told me they got a random shipment of Nude and Diamonds, though she's not sure yet how many they actually got. She won't be in at opening, so she texted a co-worker who will be there to set some of each aside for me.
