Okay I saw the swatches of Silly Girl from Balloonacy, but the CCO did not have it and I am really jonesing for it. Are there any Lipglasses, Lustreglasses, or what not that are dupes for it?

If you have Lady Bug you dont need Cockney. I just got my Cockney today and put it on next to my Lady Bug - on my lips you CANNOT tell the difference. It will get used anyway, I love reds

I wish I had read this post 2 days ago! I brought freshwater and when I got home I looked in my palette and I could have sworn freshwater was looking back at me, nope it was BELLE AZZURE!

I'm new to all this but i don't think bronze and amber lights are similar. Bronze is more bronze and amber lights has a gold tint to it.

Hi,

I'm sorry if I'm not allowed to do this. But I really like hey from the Fafi eyes 1 quad but don' care for the other 3 so can't justify having the entire quad as a result. Is there a dupe to it?
Thanks

They are similar but not the same, IMO, Star Violet is darker and purple-r as you might expect from the name. It works well as a crease color for Cranberry actually. I think on darker skintones it might be hard to tell them apart, but you should probably swatch on yourself

If I have Sweet Sienna pigment, do I really need Magnetic Fields e/s??

I would say yes. Sweet Sienna is not as dark and is more gray. On me Magnetic Fields is indistinguishable from Smut, but that's much darker than SS pigment. If you have Smut, though, you might want to swatch them both on yourself before you buy.

HTH!

I've read that All That Glitters is very close to Hey-HTH!!

Yes, this info did help.

I compared Magnetic Fields with Too Faced DirtBag and they are pretty similar. Smut and Magnetic Fields are not the same on me.

Thanks again!!

Yes. The difference is the finish. Clarity is a Matte2 so it's easier to work with.

Is there a dupe for Nice Vice P/P?

In terms of color only, or are you looking for something else to use as a paint pot/paint in a similar color?

 

[Karen_B]

If you have Phloof!, you don't need Shore Leave and vice versa. I swatched them on my hand at the store and could not tell the difference (I am NC200).

 

[foxyqt]

to anyone who got cool heat, how similar are the shadows to the ones from lure? i already have waternymph and aquavert..

Yes, in terms of a similar color to use as a paint pot/base. Thanks!

I don't agree, Humid and Greensmoke are very different, at least on me. Humid is green, Greensmoke more dark and mor olive-y.

I am a NW15/20.
