I agree they are not like VV.

How does Violet Fatale compare? Same color, different finish, or is it totally different?

I will try to get a swatch of both side by side. I am going to NM next Wed. I will see if I can get the product specialist to do it sooner.

I don't remember, FB broke me out.

i like TF compared to NARS TM. I thought the TM was great. Had a great color match when I turn red in the Summer, but after trying other foundations, I realized the NARS TM did not cover or last very well. I don't use a primer so that might be it.

No makeup again today. I promise to have teh swatch tomorrow. I don't know if I'd go back and buy this foundation though.

That's too bad MFB broke you out Pretty.
Stop worrying about the swatches-----just feel better!!!!!

Thanks! A good matte (edit for auto correct) is awesome, but I saw some gorgeous pictures with VF.

Gee, is this way we look as the new collections are about to be released???? Had a pet raccoon, yes in the super boonies we can have this stuff. He would be lovely then bite me out of the blue. He went to live literally down by the river in the Conservation Bog.

Which CCO did you go to? You're in the DMV area right? (For some reason, I thought you lived in Miami.) My daughter lives in Baltimore and I might be able to make it to that CCO on my next visit.

Soooo i just so happen to kill time n went to a CCO near me (hitchcockblonde where u at....we may need to tag team since we in the same area) and i found some TF palettes($50): Lavender Lust, Emerald Lust (didn't swatch how i would've like it to but the colors are gorge in the pan), Ice Queen and Sahara Haze so i'm tryin to decide if i want LL or SH or just both! YIKES!!! They had Pure Pink too but i'll pass cuz i wanna go straight to Electric Pink.

Here's my rough draft of Deep Mink and Sable Smoke! im about an NC42 for reference (nars tahoe, med-drk complexion) I also threw in Pink Guilt and i must say...i am NOT a gloss gal at all but this is definitely a unique shade i've yet to come across and im sure will be the only gloss from TF i'll own lol. it's nice and thick yet not too tacky (like saaaay mac lipglass) where its still comfortable on the lips and with it being thick it helps my lips last longer!! i only apply gloss in the CENTER of my lips only and blend outwards with my finger (no rhyme or reason just habit i made up)


Deep Mink with Pink Guilt is the PERFECT combo!! i came across this from YT when i was lookin up which shades to grab and DM is my first TF lippie. i aint gonna lie...i felt dumb as shyt for splurging $47 for a freaking lipgloss but im glad i did becuz like i said its unique and as meddy says (dmn u for always being right) it's the perfect gloss to top off ANY nude/neutral lip.


Sable Smoke is my baaaaaaby!!! omg i done wore the TF off it already becuz i reach for it so much. it's a nude lip i cant explain and its like no other nude i have (no matter what dupes u might come across). it's so nice n creamy and i feel so grown n luscious when i wear it. i wear it alone and no gloss but here i paired it with PG at the bottom. I am quite sure i will finish this tube by the end of the year and repurchase all over again!!

So there's my shhhhpill on these 2!! i pair mac cork with SS and i like to do a chocolate liner with DM but mainly the outer corners of my lip cuz i dnt want it to ever take away from the gorgeous shade that DM is!! When i do a full look with these 2 again i'll post it in here or hopefully my blog should be up **crosses fingers** cuz im shooting for a deadline by the end of this month!! my next shades i wanna get is blush nude and what did i say...pink dusk, only becuz i know when folks searchin they go for the "safe" neutral colors to invest in first but huuuuntttty ooooh let me show yall when i wore FLAME this weekend....



any kind of red makes me feel grown women but its just somethin about TF lippies that screeeeeeam not just grown but sophisticated grown! it literally transforms my whole being lol and then i be feeling all above n bougie like when im out n about just thinkin "dmn my lipstick alone cost more than that shirt"

BUT YEA so im slowly but surely expanding my lippies and since im more for color than not this is my first colored TF!! i got MR on the way courtesy of Lisa..where u at giiiiirl

and lookin fwd to adding electric pink and black dahlila too!! For TF newbies...WE (cuz im still new) should invest in a good neutral, pinky and POP shade.

P.S. i'll leave yall wit a pic of mason too for yall viewing pleasure lol. we went to a mother/son dance and he STAYED on the dancefloor doin that whip n naenae dance hahaha!!

Whoa! $47. I have Pink Guilt and have completely blocked that price from my memory. Anywhoo. When I had my first TF makeover, well, my only one come to think of it, they paired Coco Ravish with Pink Guilt and I promptly bought the two. I think Deep Mink is quite similar but I never think to pair them together. I will do so now. Love everything on you.

where do you find one? Are there any in Chicago?

I just did a Google search, the one in Aurora which is a haul from where I live. Appears not to carry makeup. There is one in Chandler, so maybe the next time I am sent to Phoenix, I will check it out. Of course none in Montana, Wyoming, South Dakota, where I am going soon.
