Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

I would looooove to see swatches of Tom Ford's Lips and Boys! They look beautiful but it's hard to tell what color they are from the description.

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

@EstherGrace There are MANY swatches in the Tom Ford thread 🙂

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

Some swatches of the new Lipstick Queen Chess collection. I was so excited for these and have to say I was sad when I got them. They are very dry mattes and have no scent at all really but in a not so good way! I don't know what it is. They are not comfy at all. Here is Queen on top, Rook under her then King to the right. Pic turned. While the colors look pretty it's the texture and taste I don't like. And they look very dry on my lips. Very bummed as I had hoped for something similar to the velvet rope lipstick in texture and great mint flavor bonus. Oh well. Next! Love to hear what others think!

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

Forgot to add that I did try a balm underneath and helped a bit plus some Bite shades over but then what's the point. Other than a pretty customized color I guess. I just don't know why she added these! lol 

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

This is a set of unsolicited swatches, BUT, I found a new love and want to share with the world: NYX LIP LINGERIE.  

 

I'll admit I'm a bit of a makeup snob and don't pay much attention to drugstore lines, but these got good reviews and I have good point multipliers at Ulta for them sooo I thought I'd dive in.

 

I bought 5 yesterday and had to go back today to get 2 more... I am seriously in love.  These go on like a dream, LAST ALL DAY, and don't crumble or look nasty at all! I tested the darkest one yesterday and had water and food with it, and after about 5 hours is when I saw some wearing off on my inner lips, otherwise it was fantastic!

 

Here are some swatches I took.  5 are new shades that just released and 2 are older ones from the original collection.

 

The top three from left to right are Cabaret Show, Cashmere Silk and French Maid.

 

The bottom four from left to right are Confident, Delicate Lust, Honeymoon (old collection) and Teddy (old collection).

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

All super nice on you!! I bought these right when they came out and I have always LOVED them. The formula is amazing. I'm so glad they came out with newer shades. Can't wait until they're released in Canada!!!!

 

I think I need the first one you're wearing!

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

@tsavorite, Here is the swatch of MAC Mariah Carey Mcizzle. 🙂

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

@angel7594,

Thank you for the swatch!  Mcizzle is beautiful! 🙂

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

does anyone have swatches of the smashbox always on liquid lipstick in stepping out, drivers seat, babe alert, and big spender?

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

I'll get you started...I have In Demand (top) and Babe Alert (bottom). These are the two I have and put the In Demand to compare it to. 🙂

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

I was in the store today and saw a tester for the armani lip magnet in 600, which always was missing when I previously looked. Anyhow, I figured I would swatch the berry shades together. This is 600, 601 and 602. Swatches are a thin layer, spread out. This is how I have been wearing mine (602) and I quite like it.. its more of a bright berry when I put it on as a thin stain, and then I can layer it to get more vampy. Loving it so far.

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

These are super helpful!  I love 600.  601 would work on me but 602 is a never.  I like 600 sheered out a little as well.  It layers nicely but I prefer it more blotted.

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

Guys... I gotta share this. I was randomly swatching some of my lipsticks, and I made this discovery

IMG_3927.jpg

Top to bottom:

YSL Rogue Volupte #9

Tarte Glamazon Lipstick in Playful

Nars Audacious Lipstick in Liv

Bite Beauty Matte Lip Crayon in Truffle

Urban Decay Vice Lipstick in Tampered

Bite Beauty Matte Lip Crayon in Aubergine

 

Is it just me, or do Liv and Truffle look EXACTLY the same????

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

@glossyguru they do look pretty much the same, but I think Liv has a more 'berry' undertone, doesn't it? Maybe it's just my eye trying to see a difference.

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

Does anyone have the Cover FX custom enhancer drops? I'm really interested in the highlight shades, but maybe a bronzer too. I have very fair skin and lots of freckles so I'm trying to decide if any of the colors would be good for me. Right now for highlight I am using BECCA SSP Pressed in Moonstone, but I love the idea of a liquid highlight to mix into my foundation for an overall glow.

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

I forget which one I tried but it was a glitter bomb, @blondesluv2shop!

Subtle but worked well for me was the new Algenist drops.

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

  • New MUFE M400 and Bite Mistletoe. So pretty with great pigment and applies evenly also. Bite is darker shade  IMG_4639.JPG

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

Bite Mistletoe is so pretty! Oh, do I need another red?

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

Various fall shades of liquid lippies, mostly ColourPop, with NARS Jane for comparison.

 

Left column, top to bottom: ColourPop Metallics in Maneater, Zebra, and DM, and OCC Artifact

 

Middle: top is Smashbox Out Loud, bottom is OCC Artifact, left is CP Matte Love Bug, right is CP Satin Tansy

The pic with the flash is so Autumn.  Just got me yearning for spiced cider and the sound of rustling leaves..
