A few swatches of some new lips, blush and eyes from the holidays. The KJH (MUA) is a nice hybrid cheek and lip. Creamy but dries down and really good with the serum gloss over or under it. Not sticky. Love the SIIA lips! Cheap on Nordies with thoughtful shades. LE WA Elodie lip. The Tarte trio is very smooth and beautiful on! What a great alternative to Hourglass! Happy surprise. Formula of the blush has a pretty translucent shift to it.

Gorgeous swatches it’s always so wonderful to see the beautiful shades I love the variety here! What immediately caught my eye was the BB blinky red! So beautiful! Do you have a favorite? It’s so hard to choose! Enjoy ❤️ @Sunnysmom

@Sunnysmom - Elodie is so pretty.  I almost got that color instead of Pique.

Hello lovely BICers!! Does anyone have both Tower 28 Power Hour and Merit Mood and can swatch them next to each other? Temptalia suggests they're a dupe, but I'm not super convinced but if I have a dupe, I can save myself a little bit of $ as I already have Mood.

Some of the new D & G lips. I bought a few of them at first and then added a few more because I loved the formulas so much! I think I maybe prefer the satin as although it’s a satin feel and application it really stays on, dries down and feels so comfortable, more of a demi-matte. Wonderful stains too and zero bleeding. The matte is also terrific with even more pigment. The satin has a mild vanilla scent but not as heavy imo as some other reviews have mentioned. Nordies notes def came in handy for these as they are small. But a little goes a long way!  These are all cool-toned tho 2018 is more neutral ish. I am really impressed with them as well as the previous blush and highlighter powder released! 

The LipLab new shades are good. Napa is more of a sheer shine and very smooth. The other 2 are the traditional formulas and more satiny matte. Red Velvet is a cool neutral red like the original and UESide appears warmer but it’s also a cool pinky red.  Nice sturdy cases. 😊

@WinglessOne @sister13 @Titian06 you order any yet? 

[Titian06]

These colors are all soooo pretty, @Sunnysmom ! 🥰💋💄  I had Red Velvet back in the day.

[Sunnysmom]

The D & G formulas are terrific @Titian06 ! Red Velvet is exactly the same I think as was one of my favs too! 💞

This is a gorgeous array of shades and those containers they come in are so decorative and unique the swatches are just beautiful! Such a fun assortment 🙂 @Sunnysmom 

[Sunnysmom]

There is something so pretty about their slim gold cases right @peculiarzmakeup ?! Thank you! 🤗.

@Sunnysmom  Let’s pretend I don’t have a BOPIS order waiting at Nordstrom that contains 3 D&G skinny bullets (1 of each formula). 😂 It might also include a nail polish. Hypothetically speaking, of course. 😅 I almost passed up the satins after hearing folks complain about the fragrance, but decided to give one shade a chance. Good to know you don’t find the scent overpowering, and that these lipsticks perform well for you. The shades you picked are lovely! 

And yay, you grabbed some of the new Lip Lab shades! Well, “new” including their Bite comebacks. I’ve had my eye on Napa so it’s good to see your swatch. I really like Lip Lab’s sheer bullet formula; Scottsdale is always in my purse. 

[Sunnysmom]

Excellent @WinglessOne ! I was hoping you may or may not have gotten any!! 🤣 I’m curious how you find them and the sheer formula. I may have to try one of those too. Ugh. Was really hard to choose right?! Similar shades. Yes I don’t find the satin to be overpowering at all. Especially considering how the old ones were and also other brands’ scents. I almost didn’t try them. Excited to see yours! I had forgotten that Napa was a sheer when I ordered it because it didn’t look it online. Not sure what I think about the Pomegranate flavor to some of them vs vanilla or mint that I really liked. Scottsdale looks cool. I love my other LA and Chicago too. (Yay Chicago! 🥰)

@Sunnysmom   Ooooh, look at Napa!  You are correct; these are more your colors than mine, but I'm a long-time fan of DG.

[Sunnysmom]

Yes Napa is good @Ispend2much6 . Lip Lab are always very scented however as you probably know! 😊 Looks like other good D &G shades for you . The sheers look so pretty! 

[makeitup305]

these are all stunning @Sunnysmom . I love the packaging on the DG.

[Sunnysmom]

Me too @makeitup305 . Love em. Are you getting any? 

[makeitup305]

@Sunnysmom I've been in more of a lip tint kick lately that I can't seem to quit lol maybe down the line. Have you tried their cheek products? Those are so pretty, too. 

[Sunnysmom]

Ooh love the subtle tints @makeitup305 . I bet so pretty on you. Which are you loving lately?! Yes I have a few of the blush! They are so pretty along with the packaging too! 

[makeitup305]

@Sunnysmom I really like the Dinto tints. They're glowy in the beginning and I don't find the tint to be very drying. They also have a really big shade range and the colors look very similar to the picture when applied, which I appreciate since I can't swatch them in person .

[Sunnysmom]

🤔 @makeitup305 I’ll have to investigate, thanks! 🤗

Comparison of WA Dash red in holiday lip trio set vs WA Pip @CynthieLu . Dash is a bit deeper and looks more neutral , but is still cool -toned and is also a little bit more flattering at least on my lips. Pip is def brighter on tho both are cool tones. Still similar enough tho and if you have Pip you probably don’t need Dash. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 😊💄

Dash, Pip
