[Mochapj]

I do!

L-R: Musk, Pepper, Shiraz

[annypoo]

Thank you! I wanted to get Shiraz. Would you call it a deep mauve?

[Mochapj]

Yes.  It's sort of in the same family as NARS Anna.  

[annypoo]

Thank you mocha!

[Pusheeen]

Yup. I agree - it's like a slightly darker and more muted version of Anna. Beautiful color.

I wonder how Tom Ford Theo compares to Bite 010? 

[Zpsid91]

I have those! Bite 010 is cooler I think?), but they are very similar. 

Bite is the skinnier line, Theo is wider

[kethry70]

Hmmm... Maybe I should see if saks would let me exchange Theo for Malik. Or maybe trade my used once bite 010 LOL

[SydBristow]

Oh wow, very similar! Zpsid you rock!

my Theo may be up for trade as I have 010. 🙂 Between the two I do like Theo better but I've used 010 once.

[Zpsid91]

I did not realize/want to realize they were so similar! I think I will keep both, but I like the TF formula a bit better

[SydBristow]

Bite 010 looked so purple in the bullet and color inspiration but more pink in actuality. Very much a Felicity Smoake color (CW Arrow series). She looks amazing with those colors, I do not in pinks. Same should go for Theo.

[Zpsid91]

Does anyone have swatches of Tom Ford Coco Ravish?

[njattana]

I just traded it away

[Zpsid91]

The swatches online are all different looking. It's just one of those colors I'm on the fence about...until I see a swatch I like 🙂

[Mochapj]

Skintester posted a Browns comparison in the TF thread last week and it was included there 😉

[Zpsid91]

I thought I saw one somewhere, but couldn't remember where - thanks guys!

[skintester]

Tada!

So, here's some swatches nobody asked for but I thought were nice anyway. Pardon my hairy arm....I'm Irish haha. Here is the ABH Self Made palette on my fair skin. The palette is crying out for a matte taupe (IMO). I would have left out Spirit Rock and put in a matte taupe, like Tease from Naked 2.

Shannon, of course you wanted a taupe. You want a taupe in everything. 😉

(But I agree. Not even the gothiest goth needs another black shadow.)

[ShannonAlexis]

Hahaha that is a fair point. It's not even a very nice black, the glitters in it are weird. Here I am being grumbly about no matte taupes, when I just remembered that's what the Naked Basics 2 is for...

I also got the LORAC baby matte palette just to supplement this one. It doesn't have a taupe either!

[Mochapj]

LOL, Shannon, you're adorable. 🙂

Can I just tell you too, when I heard about this ABH 'Self Made' palette everyone was buzzing about, I thought ABH was releasing a customizable palette that you could buy singles for :S
