RNR is not the same as Strawberry Blonde. SB is a tad more red on my medium-pigmented lips.

I actually find Handwritten to be plummier. I actually got it as a cooler toned version of Embark. I personally need both, but other people might not.

If you have Steamy, you don't need Talent Pool. Steamy has a tinge of green, but they're very similar.

It is the closest match that we can recommend for your needs.

I just scored a 226 Brush today! (Macys' MAC counter and she dug and found that very last one!!) I don't have a 224 but I have a Stila brush that is tapered that I use for blending also. Do I need a 224 if I have a 226?

Thanks so much! I have Femme-Fi and was acutally going to pick up a shroom. But wont now. To me, if they are even similar I don't want doubles because I am not one of those people who notice the slight differences lol.

Oh, gosh no, Ricepaper is not anything like Woodwinked. Not at all. I've not seen a dupe for Woodwinked. I think the combination of its color and texture make it hard to match.

Re: Ricepaper vs. Femme Fi ?
Femme Fi and Ricepaper are quite similar; Femme Fi has a bit of a greyish tinge to the gold-pale white.

Mmm really? On me, R&R is the redder one. I suppose the way they look will really differ, depending on the skin tone of the wearer. I'm NC40 with pigmented lips, so that's really a far cry from your NW20. Maybe my darker skin shows less difference in their pigmentation.
And so this post will not be so off topic...
Prestige's Waterproof Eyeliner in 07 Granite seems to be a good dupe for Phone Number Eye Kohl
