Retrospeck is not at all similar to ATG. Retrospeck is kind of a platinum blonde color, and it's very glittery and chunky like most of the lustres. ATG is smooth, with a shiny finish. It's a pinky champagne color on me. For the other ones you mentioned, I have them all, and I don't find them to be similar. They're definitely different enough to own them all.

And Glamour Check! is the love child of Twinks and Antiqued. I have all three.

Oooh yeah. I had forgotten about that purple. That's like the 3rd dark shimmering purple I have, so definitely no need to get Top Hat. Thanks for this.

Peachykeen is a warm reddish peach, and Sunbasque is a bronzey peach. Very different.

Did you maybe mean the Heat Element duo? The Burning Ambition duo was kind of cream and brown.

The following were duplicates for the orange side, at least on NC50 me

Cargo Nepal
MAC Coppering

 

[contrabassoon]

Can anyone tell me a dupe for Metamorph e/s? Does not have to be MAC.

 

[pinkdotty]

Any dupe for Fleshpot (Heatherette)

 

[Karen_B]

Does anyone have dupes for the Starflash shadows? I just know a lot of them remind me of perm colours but I can't put my finger on it!

Fleshpot is a permanent color in the Pro line. I don't know any dupes of it though.

Not from the MAC line, but Smoke & Diamonds, Grand Entrance, and Go are very similar to several Stila e/s.

S&D = Diamond Lil
GE = Kitten
Go = Golightly

 

[radarlove]

Nars' Giza lipgloss is very similar to Sock Hop from Heatherette!

IMO Grand Entrance was quite similar to Naked Lunch (but more visible) and Lotusland was close enough to Lavender Sky, it even had that vague blue pearl.

I totally agree. All That Glitters is a light shimmery brown (which is a must have IMHO) and Jest is a shimmery pink. I don't think they look alike at all.

Jete is a slightly darker version of Jest. I like Jete better. Too bad it's LE.

I also think Shroom, Dazzlelight and Naked Lunch are very similar.

Ricepaper vs. Femme Fi ?

Can anyone comment on Ricepaper vs. Femme Fi (from Neo Sci Fi)

I know they are pretty close but Im really drawn to the fact Femme Fi is a veluxe pearl but kinda unsure if I should cash in my B2M for it...

TIA!

Is tempting and woodwinked about the same? I just bought both and they look very similar in the pots but when i swatched them, tempting looked darker than woodwinked. Is this correct? *confused* haha

Tempting is darker and more brown, IMO.

 

[kyustman]

does anyone know the closest thing to retrospeck but with a better texture??

Also, is there a dupe for Unwind e/s...it was part of Nordstrom's 2007 Novel Twist palette?
