@Mochapj I love all your lipstick shades, 1993 is one of my go-tos! How do you feel about the Blitztrance? Is it gritty? If you have Elson or Major Red, can you compare them for me? I wasn't sure if I it was too similar to those.

[Mochapj]

@makeitup305 here are Elson and Forbidden Love. elson is in the red tube and the swatch closest to my wrist. They’re very similar; Elson is more of a neutral red and FL is a warm toned one.

[makeitup305]

@Mochapj thank you! I appreciate the swatches, I love both of them. I ordered two of the Blitz duos so lets hope I can deal with the grit!

[Mochapj]

@makeitup305 the Blitztrance is unfortunately gritty. Supposedly this shade is the least gritty (based on all the reviews I’ve seen) because it’s the least glittery one but I can still feel the sandy texture of the glitter on my lips when I wear it. 

I do have Elson and can compare them for you.

[Guessgal]

Wow thanks for all the beautiful swatches @Mochapj! I’m stuck between Dark Star and Metalmorphosis. They’re so stunning! Argh! Decisions, decisions haha

[naturalooks15]

@Mochapj all the lipsticks are looking gorgeous on you !! Do you prep your lips with concealer or have light lips? All colors are looking true on you to the tube color. Unfortunately not the case with me. I have quite dark lips and color changes drastically. I was able to get the PM mini sets but haven't opened it in fear that they might not look good on me so I should just gift those. 

[Mochapj]

Thank you @naturalooks15 !

Actually, quite the contrary. I have fairly pigmented deep mauve lips; sort of the shade most people look when they're very cold, except mine look that way all the time LOL

I don't use concealer or do much prep. I usually just start with a little lip balm. In the case of these ones, I applied them in order of lightest to darkest so that I wouldn't get too much staining or transfer from one shade to the next.

[naturalooks15]

@Mochapj good to know. Looks like we have similar color lips. When I just apply lip balm, people think I have some kind of color on LOL 

I end up with just balm since my lips are so dry and chapped all the time that I have to apply a balm every couple of hours and lipstick doesn't fit well in that equation.

You pics here are tempting me to open my PM mini set 🙂

[Mochapj]

@naturalooks15 Same! Whenever I'm wearing just balm, people often ask me what lipstick I have on because they want it 😄

I really like her MatteTrance formula but I haven't bought a lot of them because of how many lighter/cool toned shades there are. I do find them quite pigment rich lipsticks though, so they typically manage to cancel out a lot of my natural lip colour. 

Did you get the nudes mini set or the brights?

[naturalooks15]

@Mochapj I was able to get both between the two weekends. I bought nudes for myself and brights - probably gift, not sure yet (since I don't really wear bright colors but know someone who wears bright red every single day all year long and totally rocks it).

[blackkitty2014]

Forbidden Love is absolutely gorgeous on you @Mochapj. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[Mochapj]

Thanks @blackkitty2014 ! I really like this one too

[lachaton]

Swatches of the 3 new 6-pan palettes. These are each very beautiful in their own way and there are some very special shades in these palettes. 

[StyleLynn]

Wow! There are some really beautiful shades in there!

[lachaton]

I picked up some of the new Blitz Trance lipsticks. I really like these! The darker shades leave behind a stain. 

Top to bottom:

• Nude Romantique
• Flesh Fatale
• Club Kiss
• Rebel Red

[Sunnysmom]

Such great color pics @lachaton thank you! I wondered what Rebel Red was really like. Not too sparkley? Bet so pretty with your complexion, love to see sometime!!

[lachaton]

@Sunnysmom Ask and you shall receive 🙂

You can definitely see the glitter, but I find the overall effect is more metallic than glittery. I do find Rebel Red leans pink, like a raspberry red. I definitely find these lipsticks to be wearable, even with the glitter. I'm wearing Rebel Red at work today so maybe I'm the wrong person to ask about that haha.

(Also that's Kevyn Aucoin NudePop on my eyes. Really great palette.)

PMG Rebel Red

Club Kiss is gorgeous too, @lachaton! Actually I am just stopping by to say YES, that KA palette is amazing. Love how you used the shadow under your eyes.

[veronika23]

Looks great @lachaton!!!!

[blackkitty2014]

So so gorgeous @lachaton. I wish I pick this up during sale now. Ugh!

[curlychiquita]

Gorgeous, @lachaton!
