Ohhh, it's so pretty. I wish I liked CP packaging. 😞

I love hippo! I feel so magical when I wear it. You did a good job of capturing it on camera too! I will be adding Monster and Smoke n Whistles to my list for whenever I next order from CP. Thanks for the wonderful swatches Lyra!

[lyravega]

Thank you, @ShannonAlexis. It was a struggle, haha! I see it on my face and hands no problem, but it was so impossible to capture it on camera.

It is so magical, I agree! I kinda wanna smear it all over my face. But, shhhhh, don't tell that to anybody ( I'm a "matte" girl ). 😄

[lyravega]

Monster's shift. Captured on camera! ( 😄 )

Hippo..

OMG... Materials with anisotropic optical properties are my favorite types of materials. I never realized they existed in the world of cosmetics. I must learn more. Off too research.

Seriously, there was a certain type of rock whose color would change depending on what angle the light hits it. I spent so many hours in my 20s combing beaches for these rocks. This puts me in touch with my inner child & inner geek.

I don't even like shiny stuff. Mostly. But, these are so fascinating to me, too.

Awww Thank you, @lyravega. Looks so pretty and blendable. So enabling!

So the new MJ counter got 4 of the new lipsticks (thanks for the IG sleuthing @Mochapj :p)

Top - Bottom:

No Angel

Slow Burn

Editrix

Willful

Slow Burn is close to Pussycat and Willful is close to Violet Fatale, but slightly more pigmented and more purpley

@Mochapj and @LithaRose, I have a fun story (and not very good photos).

I stopped by Sephora today in search of these. They weren't on display, but when I asked about them, the SA thought they were in the back and went to go check. She returned with another SA, Audrey, who'd swatched them all on her hand. I was going to swatch them myself, but my hand was full of Bite swatches. So I asked Audrey if I could take a photo of her hand. She generously allowed me to.

The only thing is, she wasn't sure which ones were which. Willful and Editrix are easy enough to figure out, but the nude names may be incorrect. Here are my best guesses for the top photo, from left: Willful, Editrix, 

Slow Burn, No Angel, and Sonic Truth.

I bought Editrix and will probably post a photo around here sometime.

[LithaRose]

Thank you @TKLJ (and your SA, lol)! Slow Burn and Sonic Truth are calling my name. 🙂

[TKLJ]

You're welcome! Slow Burn and Sonic Truth are the ones I'm most interested in, too, but I'm making myself wait for the November sale. Well ... maybe my summer birthday. 😉

[Mochapj]

@TKLJ bahahahahaha!  I love this!  Especially that you photographed someone else's hand, lol.

i ordered no angel based on Libel's swatch, so I think your order is correct.  

Thank you for doing this and so happy you got Editrix 😉

[TKLJ]

You're welcome! That SA really was a champ ... gotta dig out my receipt and fill out that survey.

[fatimamummy]

Ooooo slow burn 😍

[kethry70]

Oh! I like slow burn 🙂

[Libellules]

Slow burn is pretty! I just have a few colors that are so close. I ordered Willful this morning :x

[Mochapj]

Leaving for @JazaChai who I think wanted to see it compared to cola pop?

[JazaChai]

@Mochapj So this is what Cola Pop looks like on me... on my arm it's more reddish, but on my face for whatever reason is it just pink. Maybe it was whatever base I was using.

[Mochapj]

Wow, that is odd.  It looks beautiful on you, but I see what you mean.

[JazaChai]

Yes, that was me, thanks! I assume Dahlia is on the right side in all the photos? I'm curious how it looks more blended out, because Cola Pop looks nothing like this on me, it ends up a bright raspberry pink.

I did end up ordering my own just now after seeing your swatches below, so I'll be able to see for myself shortly!
