Wow my Band of Roses light pink part looks nothing like that on me--it's pretty light. In that pic it's almost as dark as the dark pink part. The person it's swatched on really makes a difference.

Creme d'Nude can take too much work for it look decent on darker skin, so I say go for Call My Bluff.

I think they are all going to look a little different on everyone. I think she was showing how similar they are. Most of those colors are not as bright on me, i just get the same effect when i wear them.

i can see conjure up being a dupe for this...i'll agree with that!

Okay I just swatched Love Thing, Conjure Up and Band of Roses on my hand and I don't think they are similar at all. Conjure Up is more of a dirty plum shade. Love Thing is more red with a noticeable metallic sheen. Band of Roses is a vibrant rosey pink... It's really really super pretty >_< Glad I bought it, but I am a blush fiend hehehe.
I will try and post some swatches this weekend.

I posted this in the other ITG thread:
So I finally got the rest of my ITG haul yesterday
Jazzed - does not look bad on me (NW45), unless I am disillusioned. It came out a nice coral color and blended nicely with my pigmented lips. I also tried it with coral crepe pp underneath. Both looked okay to me. If I try to add gloss to it, it starts moving, so I won't be doing that, which is fine by me. I also swiped a little Call My Bluff over it - looked good that way too.
Go For It - Very wearable shade for my skin tone. I also tried it over Blooming Lovely. The result was a beautiful bright purple color - it's what I assume Up The Amp might look like. Also paired it with Funtabulous dg. Nice.
Chillin - haven't really played with it much yet.
This morning I lightly applied I Like It Like That and topped it off with Pinkarat lustreglass. It was very subtle and very pretty.
No pics yet I'm afraid. It has been a long week. I'll try to get some put up this weekend. They never turn out true to color anyway. Thank God for 3 day weekends!

For those not sure about Jazzed:
I am NW45 and getting this color was going to be an experiment, but it was like none I ever had and pretty. I played around with this color for a couple of days and I finally came up with the perfect look for me!
Then I apply a lipliner, for me I paired it with a dark brownish purple liner from NYX called Y2K. Then I applied the lippie and topped it with a cream dazzleglass called Luscious Spark (an orange color). I LOVE IT! The cream dazzleglass smooths the texture and brings out the coral color that works great with my skin tone and pigmented lips. I see why they have cream glosses to pair these lippies with. The cream glosses are what really help with the texture of the really pigmented colors.
