Her swatches of Bite of an Apple look so much lighter than the one in the Specktra thread. Now I wonder if it'll be too light...

I noticed the same thing. Her swatches almost made me take it off of my list. Her swatch made me think it may be chalky looking on my NW45/NW47 skin. I think I may pick it up and test it out. Also, do you think it is similar to Nars Taos??

the description for taos is a dusty rose. which basically means red orange to me, with shimmer. BoA is coral and flat (matte). they look totally different.

It doesn't look like Taos to me in either of the pictures. Taos, is almost tomato-y.

Yeah, you both are right. I went and pulled my Taos out.

Do you think BoA will look chalky?

I know you didn't ask me
nope.gif
but I don't think it will. I just think Temptalia did a super light swatch of BoA b/c it's such an intense color. It's definitely a WOC-friendly shade IMO.

I don't think so. It looked pretty pigmented in the photos herGreyness shared. MAC Bite of an Apple picture by HerGreyness - Photobucket

i can't wait to see it and try it out. personally, i think its in the same family as the dark side of marine life, but a little deeper and more pink. some may disagree, but it looks close.

Hey Greyness said in the other thread, that its a mix up between Scarlet/Fleur Power/Salsa Rose. All pretty on brown skin!

I think Toxic l/s is going to end up looking like Jazzed, pretty colour but something just won't be right.

And Cajun Magic Powder will def be too orange.

I'm pretty happy with my list. It's already manageable and I know it'll only get smaller.
-Darkly My Dear and Bite of an Apple Blush (Both are so pretty!)
-Heartless l/s
-Revenge is Sweet l/s
-She Who Dares M/ES
-French Quarter greasepaint
-Strange Potion l/g
-Hot House l/g
-Innocence beware l/s
-Devishly stylish l/g

I'm definitely going to skip school for this one.

And I'm hoping one of the nudes lippies will look nice.

Okay, I've whittled it down to Vainglorious e/s, Violetta l/s, and the mineralized shadows, but I don't *have* to have the mineralized shadows. I plan to B2M for Violetta.

It doesn't matter if I asked ya, I appreciate your input. I have a hard time gauging colors based on Temptalia's swatches. Some things are swatched super light. In addition, her lip swatches never tell me anything. I think she wears balm or something under the lipstick/lipgloss, because they all seem less intense and 'slippery' in her pictures.
Thanks again!!

Thanks for that picture...it definitely showed the true color and pigmentation. Scarlet/Fleur Power/Salsa Rose is a lovely combo!!!

Okay... So the description of BoA is "Bite of an apple- soft coral pink (Matte)"
This is where I am having trouble...Temptalia's swatch looks coral and HerGreyness' swatch looks hot pinky/reddish

lighting, camera, and such, lol. not sure your complextion, but you know its going to look so different in the store on darker skin if that applies. tempalia and others swatches give me an idea of what to look for, as far as texture, but colorwise, they just don't work. i wish erin scandalous has some of those boxes!

^^^ i like this description here. exhibit A is business and one of the most pigmented blushes out there. her greyness is testing on darker skins. i'm sold.

I'd love to see Bite of an Apple blush on a WoC. It's so hard for me to decide if it is a shade I'm interested in without seeing it on someone with a similar skintone.

My list:
Darkly My Dear
Bite of Apple
Toxic Tale
Coppering since its such a close dupe to De-vil and I can get it in pan form.


Darkly my Dear looks very similar to Notable, I can't decide if I should get it. input?

Evil Queen compact if I have the spare cash, I know this collection will be going very fast.


Umm I thought there was going to be a mirror compact for all the villains, not just the Voodoo guy. So no Evil Queen compact.

I want Heartless soooo bad, but I don't know if I am ready for such a bold red color- heck I don't even think it is the right red for me. I may just stick to the red lipglass.

Def getting French Quarter liner.
