I don't own 1993, but I have swatched it a few times.

IMO, Mahogany is not a dupe of 1993.  If anything, 1993 is closer to J'adore (the lighter brown shade in the MJ line) 

Mahogany is a deeper chocolate brown.

I don't have MJ Mahogany, but from this swatch 1993 definitely looks more similar to J'adore. It definitely does not have as much brown as Mahogany.

IS it CT VIntage vamp or Dolce Vita that is supposed to be a dupe for TF Burnished Amber? I lwould love swatches of all 3 if anyone could? Please 🙂

[Mochapj]

I just noticed I've been going around all day with an armful of glitter from all the celestials I swatched this morning 😄

[Anonymous]

They might think you're a supernatural being! 😛

[Mochapj]

I think she was saying Vintage Vamp is supposedly the dupe of BA.

I have BA, but neither of those CT quads 😞

Dolce vita obviously(?) look different.

If it's not too much trouble, could someone please help me swatch Marc Jacobs lovemarc gel in "All the way" and Nars Geraldine?

All the watches I've seen online look different and my eyes are going haywire, lol.

Thank you in advance!

[Mochapj]

I can do that.

They are WAY different though.  All the way is semi sheer and Geraldine is opaque.

[lilDee]

Thank you Mochapj!

I've gathered from the swatches I already saw that they're very different, but I'm kind of shopping for anything in the orange range, without a formulation in mind.

Those are just the two prettiest ones I've come across 🙂

I have really pink lips and have yet to find an orange that isn't super pink coral-y on me.

[Mochapj]

Here you go!

I love oranges and have very mauvy lips, so I can sympathize.  Another good one (which I also have) is MJ Core Cora.  It's pretty orange-y as well.  

I ran out of light, so these pictures look a little redder than they should.  I can replace them with better ones in the morning, but you get the gist. 😉

[lilDee]

Lovely!  Thank you!!!!!!!  These are sooooooo nice, and I have warm toned skin so your swatches are great for me.

I may just buy both 😄

[Mochapj]

Does anyone have TF Sahara Haze they could swatch for me?

I love greens and have been considering this one for a few months now, but would love to see more swatches/hear some feedback on it.

[Zpsid91]

Yes - I have it - I'll get on it...

[Zpsid91]

No flash (grey sky outside 😞 )

Flash:

The third color has a little more sparkle than you can see in the photos…the 1st two colors are definitely my favorite

[Mochapj]

Thank you, zpsid!  Do you *like* it as a whole?  And does the sparkly one have any fallout?

[Zpsid91]

It is not my absolute favorite palette, but I do like it. The top two shades are fairly neutral so I can use them with other palettes/looks. 

There is maybe a little bit of fallout, more so when using a brush to apply. When I use my finger I don't see any.

Can someone swatch the Sephora exclusive NARS blush palette? Just the first two lighter blushes. Can someone also please repost the NARS Despair palette swatches? I'm debating which to get haha.

[Mochapj]

Despair palette (last 4 swatches)

Can't help you with the Sephora exclusive palette - I'm not buying it cuz I already own everything in it except the two light colors 🙂

[Anonymous]

Is Sephora getting the Despair palette? 

[guzelkiz]

They're supposed to.  It isn't exclusive to anywhere else.
