I have one around here somewhere too....

[jeveux]

Wow, did not realize Jane was that brown.  Thank you so much!

[TKLJ]

You're welcome! Jane is ridiculously gorgeous; it's a color I recommend all the time. Mocha (and probably others) have on-lip photos in the Audie thread (http://community.sephora.com/t5/Lips/Show-Me-Your-Audacious-Collection/m-p/1695820#M10941) or I can dig up a picture of me wearing it. Lemme know if you want that.

 For @meganlisa, wait, I can't tag.

 Naked Coral-Paradiso-Forbidden pink. The one next to Naked Coral is Spanish pink. Spanish pink and Naked Coral is somewhat similar in undertone, but Naked Coral has more coral-red, and definitely  much brighter, not as nude. Not as pigmented as some others (e.g. First Time), but wears opaque on my lips and conceal redness on my lip and shows its pretty color well! 

Top to bottom, Velvet Violet, Flamingo, Flash of Pink, Michael (L&B).  Cool violet pink, with LOTS of glitters, and well, I'm not a big fan of glitters on lips (I love them one eyes), but the pink glitters seem very pretty. Even compared to Michael, it has much more pink glitters in it. May feel a little gritty, not enough to bother or make it apply unevenly/patchy. Maybe I should buy Pure Pink as well, if it's glitter-less.

These shades are gorgeous.  So rich and pigmented.  Wow!  Thanks for posting.  I might be adding one or two...

I can see Naked Coral totally being oh so pretty shade for spring and summer...although I don't mind wearing spring-y, summer-y shades in any season. 

Flash of Pink is pretty too, and I'm just debating whether Pure Pink will be different from it 0.0 I need to do guess works since I don't have any stores nearby (I'm guessing the nearest one to be 4+hrs away). 

[meganlisa]

The pinks are both pretty...but TF also has a few new eye shadow palettes coming out early 2016...

Such a shame the nearest store is so far from you so you can't just go try it on.  

I'm considering naked coral.  Lovely!  I'm mostly in warm weather...so the spring/summer collections are the most practical for me.

I know!!! I think there's at least two that I'd buy, just guessing from the name (Honeymoon, Last Dance, and possibly Disco dust...). Hopefully I end up getting no more than two 😞

[meganlisa]

You and me both!  For some reason I feel more guilty about eye shadow than lipstick...and I have a lot of eye shadow...

[Anonymous]

Me too, perhaps because I can change my lip colors throughout the day if I want to...? 

I do have quite a lot of eye shadows as well. Not as many as some others, mainly because my preference is pretty limited for eye colors. I actually had so many overlapping ones that I don't use, I gave my friend $200+ worth of makeups that I only used 2~3X and instead of thinking 'I have enough", I'm thinking 'whoa, now I have a room for a few more'. After all, how can one skip something named Honeymoon, Last Dance, etc.?

[meganlisa]

And we can guess that the palettes will be as good as the names...

In a rush...I skip eye shadow but always have tons of lipstick in my bag.  It's a must have!

[Anonymous]

Can anyone please swatch Tom Ford Lipstick Violet Fatale and Velvet Violet???

I grabbed all the TF lipsticks that I KNOW will look ok on me, but violet (or magenta) is not my shade to go. I already have Velvet Violet, so I wanted to know how Violet Fatale is compared to VV. 

[skintester]

What's your skintone? I don't have them with me right now but I can post later if no one else does. In the tube, VV is matte, brighter, more pink and has no shimmer; VF/Xavier is satin, darker, more purple and has shimmer.

[Anonymous]

Light (not super light), neutral skin tone!

If you can spare some time, can I see your swatch too...?

[blackkitty2014]

Here you go

[Anonymous]

Thank you so much!!! I had trouble searching through Sephora...!

I may skip VF after all! 

[blackkitty2014]

GC and I think they are the same except for VV is matte.

[njattana]

VV looks more opaque to me too, that could just be the lighting or my eyes

[Zpsid91]

I have violet fatale (xavier in the lips and boys), but I do not have have VV. I am happy to post VF, but I'm sure someone has both 😉

[ddstevens22]

Could someone please swatch Mac Dark Side Vs Mac Sin... I have Sin already and trying to debate If I want Dark Side... Thanks 🙂

[StephaniLynn]

I'm interested to see these swatches as well.
