On me the colors to my surprise went more to gray/taupe. Which is fine with me. Not a real lover of brown eyeshadow. As for the nail polish, in my huge collection, nothing quite matches it. It does look black, but under the lights it has this cool deep wine undertone. Chanel Strong is close but more shimmer. The original Chanel Vamp came out when I was in junior high. I haven't been this excited over a color since then. It is the blushes I have never been drooling over. Wicked for me is OK. The rest are too brown/peachy for my skin tone. I apply the Softcore like I do with the Chanel Rouge that came out years ago. Gentle, a little goes a long way. Careful or the traveling circus will be looking for you to join them. The Negligee lipstick, to me is a pretty close match to the softcore bricky color. Since TF is not sold near me unless I schlep to downtown, then pay out the nose in taxes since it is downtown I skipped the Twist of Fate and the other blush. Peachy/corals are awful on me. Good news, the NM about 20 miles from me is going to have a TF bay in November. I wonder if the matte lipsticks are the same colors he offers now, except in matte? I am wanting the darkest one. But if it Bruised Plum, just in matte I can skip it.
