Mac's Impassioned Dupe? Bright Coral-pink Lipsticks Comparison

Bright pink lip colours with warm coral tones are some of my favourites, especially in the hot summer months. These watermelon-fuchsia shades, as I like to call them, are fun statement shades that get you noticed. I have a few variations of such lip colour and only two of them I'd describe as dupes.  

Catrice Ultimate Colour 250 Matt About Pink 

(matte)

Just like me to start with the odd one out. Matt About Pink is in the bright coral-pink family except it's lighter and more of a bright peachy-pink. This shade's matte formula is not ideal due to the lack of smoothness which can result in an uneven application, though it's not impossible to apply it nicely. It's one of my favourite and most worn shades in my collection. 

Maybelline Color Sensational Vivids 910 Shocking Coral 

(cream)

This shade as well as the rest of the Vivids range are much loved in the beauty community. A bright statement shade, it's the pinkest choice in the bunch since the coral tones in it are much more subdued that in the rest. The formula is lovely with a superb pigmentation and a comfortable creamy finish. Though, I have to say that it's not one of my favourites because even though it's a stunning colour in the tube, it somehow manages to look a bit off on my skin tone, so I prefer other more coral choices.

Catrice Ultimate Shine 210 Kiss Kiss Hibiskiss 

(glossy shine)

Old formula. The new version is in the Ultimate Colour range with a creamy finish called 320 Kiss Kiss Hibiscus

I have the old shine formula that is one of the most sensitive formulas to heat I've ever tried and it melts so fast, which you can surmise from the state of my lipstick. It's a super bright watermelon shade with a glossy finish that is very similar to Impassioned with the finish being the most obvious difference. I'm not a fan of the glossiness which also means the staying power is not the best, but I do love the colour. 

Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm 210 Unapologetic 

(creamy matte)

My most recent addition to my lipstick collection and the subject of my latest review. On my lips it's pretty much an exact dupe for Impassioned in terms of colour and finish. It's a lipstick in a twist-up pen with an easy-to-work-with superbly pigmented creamy matte formula. Staying power is not its forte, but it's one of the easiest bright lip products to reapply, so it would be my choice to carry in a bag on the go.

MAC Impassioned 

(amplified creme)

MAC describes it as bright fuchsia, but in my opinion it's too coral for a fuchsia and I'd call it a bright watermelon fuchsia. It has a creamy, comfortable formula and it is all in all a wonderful lipstick to work with. MAC lipsticks are expensive, particularly in Europe, but they are worth it. I have the sample size from The Body Needs.

MAC Relentlessly Red 

(retro matte)

Another bright coral-pink but with stronger red tones and a gorgeous matte finish. This is my favourite lipstick currently both in terms of colour and finish, though the formula is dry. I think this shade looks best on me and it's a lipstick I'd love to have in full size.

Beauty UK Lipstick 10 Passion

(cream)

The darkest in the bunch and my first bright shade that I bought years ago. Passion is a fuchsia shade that is leaning to rose and is not as bright as the rest. The formula is a very lightweight creamy one that is easy to apply and feels comfortable to wear, however, it's my least favourite due to how it starts to look after a while. The light formula migrates on the lips and it creates darker ridges giving an appearance of wrinkly lips, however, it's the most affordable in my selection, so it's probably not that surprising that the formula isn't the best. Just as Revlon's matte balm, it has a minty scent.

Unapologetic looks a bit more coral toned swatched on the skin compared to Impassioned, however, on my lips I honestly see no visible difference. I'll go as far to say it's a 99.99% dupe on me in terms of colour and formula.

The next closest one is Catrice's Kiss Kiss Hibiskus with exception of the glossy formula, however, since this version is discontinued and I don't own the new creamy version, I can't say for sure it's as similar as well. Relentlessly Red has a matte finish, is deeper and leans more towards red on the lips. Beauty UK's Passion is darker, less bright and more rose toned. Maybelline's Shocking Coral is lighter and less coral. Catrice's Matt About Pink is matte, lighter and peachier.

You can see all the lipsticks I've ever swatched in my swatch gallery which is regular updated for more comparisons. 

Are you a fan of such shades?
Have a great day!

Mac Face & Body Foundation N1 and Mac Prep + Prime BB Cream Extra Light

Apart from the lipstick samples, I also ordered two foundation/BB samples from The Body Needs. You get a 3 ml sample of the Face & Body Foundation in a small squeezy bottle for 2.99$ and the BB sample comes in a small plastic pot for 2.79$. There is a big selection of shades, but I don't know if those are all the shades available by Mac.

Mac Face & Body Foundation N1

Texture: This is the runniest foundation I tried and it feels very lightweight. It needs to be shaken before use otherwise it looks a bit separated. 

Coverage: This has a very light coverage. It's like a tinted moisturiser with a sheer to light coverage and it only evens out the skin, but doesn't cover circles, freckles, any prominent redness, blemish marks nor blemishes themselves. It is buildable, however, I find that not much. Layering gives a bit more coverage, yet nothing like a proper light to medium foundation, but still more than the Prep + Prime BB.

Finish: This is the most natural finish out all foundations I tried. It's skin-like and even if looking very closely you can't see you're wearing anything. The finish is the same as your base is, so for example if you used a mattifying lotion it's matte. Due to light texture it blends in seamlessly into the skin. 

Colour: N1 looks too dark and slightly orange for my pale skin, but since the coverage is so sheer it blends in ok giving me an hint of a natural tan effect. 

It's lovely foundation for a those who prefer sheer coverage and the no-makeup makeup look as it is undetectable on the skin. However, the lightest shade in the N range isn't exactly light.

I layered it a lot on the right picture:

Mac Prep + Prime BB Cream Extra Light

Texture: It's very similar to thick moisturisers. Despite the thickness, it's easy to apply but lacks the silicone feeling that most foundations have. It reminds me of home-made tinted moisturisers that I used to mix (one part foundation, one part moisturiser).

Coverage: It's very light, again like a tinted moisturiser. The coverage is similar to the Face & Body in a sense that it evens out the skin, but doesn't cover circles, freckles, any more prominent redness, blemish marks nor the blemishes themselves.

Finish: It's a bit dewy from the beginning, but then it sets to a satin/natural skin-like finish.

Colour: Extra light fits me ok, though it is a bit too warm for my neutral skin, but since the coverage is so light it blends into my skin nicely.

Another very light coverage product, but with a much thicker texture and an SPF 35. The moisturiser type texture makes it nice for dry skin. The colour fits me much better than the Face & Body, however, not as well as other BB's I own. 

Have a great day!

Mac Lipstick Samples from TheBodyNeeds #2

I ordered some more Mac's lipstick samples from The Body Needs. I already wrote about them in my first post here, where you can find swatches of nine other shades. I said it before and I'll say it again: I find the idea of Mac lipstick samples genius, especially for those like me who live in a country where Mac isn't sold and it's very difficult to get online.

I got five of them : Sunny Seoul and Peach Blossom are cremesheen + pearl finish, Full Speed is a sheen supreme, while Dangerous and Relentlessly Red are the latest retro matte finish.

Peach Blossom is a pale peachy pink shade in the cremesheen + pearl finish range. It's Hue's warmer and a hint darker cousin. The formula's of the two are also very similar - soft, very comfortable, slightly moisturising and a bit shiny/glossy. 

Sunny Seoul is a frosted light warm pink. On me it's more of a light to medium colour. The formula is the same as at Peach Blossom.

Full Speed is a bright warm watermelon-coral shade from the sheen supreme line. It's a great summer shade when applied full on, however, I also love it as a stain because it just brings so much life to my face while still looking natural (like a no-makeup makeup look). The formula is one of those lipstick/lip balm/lip gloss hybrids and this is a very pigmented version of such formula with a lovely shine.

Relentlessly Red is a gorgeous bright pink with some coral and a matte finish. I don't know why it's called red because it's pink. It's quite dry, but not like Ruby Woo. I adore this shade. It's so me since I love bright matte shades.

Dangerous  is an orange based red with a matte finish. It's Lady Danger's sibling, however, not quite a twin. Lady Danger is more orange and brighter, but the finish is the same. Formula is retro matte and not as easy to apply as Lady Danger. It's closer to Ruby Woo's yet not as dry.

Pictured left to right: Ruby Woo, Dangerous, Lady Danger and Russian Red (swatched in the previous post):

Have a great day!

New In #9

Mac Samples from The Body Needs 

I got more Mac lipstick samples since they released some new shades that I really wanted to try. I got Peach Blossom, Sunny Seoul, Full Speed, Relentlessly Red and Dangerous. I'll post swatches in the next post.
I also got samples of Prep + Prime BB cream in Extra Light and Face&Body Foundation in N1. Neither really impressed me, but more about them in full review.
They also included a generous sample of their Pink Lemonade Lip Lustre, which I swatched bellow.
Lipsticks samples were 3.79$, Face & Body 2.99$ and Prep + Prime BB 2.79$.

Sample of The Body Needs Pink Lemonade Lip Lustre

Pink Lemonade looks like a lovely bright pink-coral in the pan, but on the lips it barely shows up. I tried to get the intensity going, but the most I got was a gentle blush of colour and multicoloured shimmer. It feels like those lipstick/lip balm/lip gloss hybrids which means it's nicely hydrating and has a lovely glossy shine (I must admit that the shimmer in it is nice). It smells like cherry candy which I love. They have a massive selection of shades and I hope their darker shades are more pigmented because judging from this shade the formula and the scent are nice.

Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation in 010 Light Porcelain 

I'll start with venting my frustration at the discovery that some hateful imbecile opened my parcel and took off the top part of the pump. Why would anyone do that?! Luckily, I keep some old empty bottles for such occasions and I just replaced the pump with one from a L'Occitane serum.
I ordered it because I heard it is one of the lightest foundations. Honestly, this shade is nothing new in my collection as it is virtually identical to Dior's BB cream. I hoped it'd be lighter, something like Missha's BB #13. I've only worn it a few times and it's nice, but I don't really love it (yet?). There will be a full review after I test it properly.

It was 6.07 € with a discount on Asos.

 Maybelline Colorama Nail Polish 103

I wanted a dupe for Essence's Deep Blue Sea and this is not it. It looks close enough in the bottle with a similar shimmer/frost effect and it is a pretty colour, but that frost doesn't show on the nails, plus it has greyish hue. The quality is nice, though. I'll post a swatch one day.

It was 2.49 € in Müller.

Catrice Defining Blush 040 Think Pink

This is brilliant! I never owned a Catrice blush before, but after trying this one I will get more. It's super pigmented, soft, matte and actually lasts on my skin (which is unheard of). And the colour is adorable. Great product! I'll do a proper review and a swatch.

These cost 3.79 € in Műller.

Taylor Swift Wonderstruck Enchanted

Such an absolutely wonderful fragrance, but it lasts less than an hour despite being a strong scent. It'll appeal to anyone who loves La Vie est Belle, Can Can and Fantasy. I'll do an in depth review.

I paid 23.49 € for 100 ml on All Beauty.

L'Oreal Skin Perfection Serum

I expected a lot and so far I'm disappointed. It has a great texture and it's hydrating, yet I see no positive long term results whatsoever. In fact, my skin got worse since I started using it. It's certainly less smooth and even spotty. I'll give it more time and then write a review.

 15.99 € in Müller.

 got2b Sprüh Kleber a.k.a Freeze Haispray

I expected great hold and this proved too weak. You know those lovely no-heat curls I make that I say last about an hour (picture here)? Well, I wanted something really strong to hold them in place. This unfortunately didn't and I used tons of it. It does leave the hair stiff, yet not particularly sticky, however, I did notice that it dried out my hair. It's not bad, but since it does about the same as the Lee Stafford one, which should obviously have a lighter hold (and feels weightless plus is just overall fantastic), I obviously prefer that one. This one smells lovely sweet fruity-candy-ish and the scent really lingers in my hair.

It was 5.59€ in Müller

Essie Nail Polishes: 
Turquoise & Caicos, Really Red and After School Boy Blazer
I had a 50% off coupon, what more can I say. I've only tried T&C so far, which I heard it's supposed to have an awful formula, but I was pleasantly surprised. All will be swatched here at some point. ASBB may look similar to the Colorama polish that's higher up, but in the bottles they don't look dupes. I'll try to do a comparison.

Sample of LCN Marry me Berry Hand & Body Cream

The texture is somewhere in the middle and feels like it has a lot of silicones in it. It takes about 2-3 minutes to sink in and moisturises ok. The scent is artificial berry yoghurt like. It's nice, but I won't be buying a full size as I rarely use hand creams.

I got this in that new pharmacy in E.Leclerc (Ljubljana). Have you seen than awesome place?! It's like a proper Frech pharmacy brimming with all the pharmacy brands and even samples. Paradise.

Cien Shower Cream with Almond Oil & Apricot

I just grabbed this in Lidl and discovered at home that it is actually good. For about the same price as Balea's shower gels, 0.85€, you get a very decent creamy shower gel. It smells pretty generic, but it feels like poor man's Dove shower gel which is good enough for me.

 Sweet Gold Sugar Hair Removing Paste

It's one of those sugaring pastes that some people make at home and I hate this thing. Profoundly. First you have to scoop it out from the pot where it isn't much product to begin with, then form a sort of a strip on the skin and pull it off. The problem is that as soon as it gets a bit warmer because of the body temperature (which is in like a minute or two), it get ridiculously sticky and sticks to everything. It's impossible to work with from that point on and the paste is ruined. In that one take you do get, it doesn't take all the hair off rather it only removes about a half. At least it washes of easily, but I just don't like it.
It was 6.49 € in Müller.

 Nair Cire Divine Monoi de Iles a.k.a Divine Wax

This is a hair removing wax that requires no strips, rather when applied to the skin it hardens and then you just pull it off. It comes with several A4 pages of detailed instruction and warnings (Slovene version, of course), which would scare off quite a few people, however, I find them grossly over exaggerating. It's actually relatively easy to use. It says to put in the microwave for 2 minutes, but I find that is not enough and it needs another minute. You get only one wooden spatula, which is not enough, with which you need to stir the wax to get a honey like consistency. It says that it can be messy, but I don't find it so, you just get a lot of strings. You apply the warm wax on the skin, which dries/hardens really quickly in about 20-30 seconds and then I pull it off. I find it super easy to take off, but removes only 1/3-1/2 of the hair. It's pretty much painless for me, but I have a really high threshold for pain that surprised even my doctor. It says not to use it in the same place twice, but I find that's just an another exaggeration. I went several times over the same spots, but it was never hair free. I used about a half of pot, but then gave up because it would take forever. I had no irritations, redness or anything and I didn't even need to use the towelettes that are included as all the wax easily comes off.
I'd love it if it were more effective, but I won't repurchase.

I got in in E. Leclerc for about 8 € (don't quote me on that price).

 Ebeline Thermal Ceramic Round Brush Small

I got another Ebeline brush, this time a smaller one for my fringe. I use the big one all the time. The orange strip turns yellow when exposed to temperatures that are damaging to the hair.
 8.45 € in DM.

L'Occitane Samples
I got tons of L'Occitane samples which I'm really looking forward to using as I have very rarely been disappointed by this brand. I'll do short reviews in my next empties post.

Have a great day!

Kje lahko Slovenci dobimo MAC kozmetiko

Sorry to international readers, but this post will be mostly in Slovene. There is a short summary in English at the end with info about where to get Mac in central Europe and online. The translation of the title is: Where can Slovenes get Mac cosmetics. You can still look at the pictures of my favourite city Gradz and my Mac makeup.

Ali se Mac prodaja v Sloveniji, kje lahko dobiš Mac kozmetiko in kje jo kupujem so vprašanja, ki jih dobim kar pogosto. Pa kar začnimo z najpomembnejšim, ki pa je verjetno večini znan: Mac kozmetika se ne prodaja v Sloveniji. Ali se bo kdaj v prihodnosti seveda ne vem, je bilo pa že kar nekaj zanimanja s strani naših podjetij z željo, da bi bili zastopniki. Na žalost Mac-a naš trg trenutno ne zanima. Kot primer citiram iz Ličila.si:

Boste prodajali še kakšno drugo kozmetiko?

Vedno in povsod radi slišimo kakšne nove predloge, se potrudimo in izdelke pripeljemo k nam. Samo namig: znamke M.A.C. pri nas ne bomo prodajali, saj smo premajhna ribica zanje - verjemi, smo že poskušali. Lahko bi jih sicer kot konkurenca pridobili na črnem trgu, a mi svojim strankam privoščimo izključno originalno kvaliteto, brez dvoma.

Torej samo da opozorim, strani kot je tale: http://www.maccosmetics.si/ niso prave.

Kot drugo, kje se jo dobi. No, če začnemo z okoliškimi državami, dobi se jo povsod. Nam najbližje so v Zagrebu**, Celovcu*, Gradcu, Benetkah, v Budimpešti in na Dunaju. Od teh sem bila le v Gradcu in Celovcu. V Gradzu MAC prodajajo v Drogeriji Marionnaud, ki je v centru mesta, v ulici Herrengasse s hišno št.18. Ulica je za mestno hišo (ki je ne moreš zgrešit ker je ogromna), Mariounaud pa je nasproti trgovine Yves Rocher. Samo kot namig, Gradec je čudovito mesto, priporočam ogled če že boste tam, vsaj povzpnite se na grič z uro (imajo tudi vzpenjačo). Sem pa na poti proti stopnicam za na vrh opazila tudi drogerijo kjer so imeli Bobbi Brown. Za lažjo orientacijo je tu še zemljevid in slike centra. Parkiranje je pa mala nočna mora, ker je center poln enosmernih ulic, raje parkirajte nekje ob Muri in nadaljujte peš. Je pa mesto približno tako veliko kot Ljubljana.

Označeno z A:

 Slika iz leta 2009:

Malo novejše iz lanskega Marca:

Še nekaj slik Gradca, klikni za večjo sliko: 1. Ulica Herrengasse, 2. mestna hiša:

 1. ura, 2. stopnice do ure, 3. trg pod stopnicami (tam nekje je drogerija z Bobbi Brown)

*Update (Julij 2014): Med mojim zadnjim obiskom Celovca/Klagenfurta, sem opazila, da je tudi tam na voljo MAC kozmetika in sicer v nakupovalnem centru City Arkaden, v drogeriji Douglas. Če greste le v center ne rabite kupiti avstrijske vinjete za razliko od tega če greste v Gradec, ampak se prej pozanimajte po katerih cestah je treba (jaz sem šla čez Ljubelj). Nakupovalni center ima svoj parkirni prostor, ki je plačljiv.

Kar se cen tiče, na kratko zelo visoke. Šminke so že 19€, v primerjavi s 15$ v ZDA, kar je 11,5€, torej cena kakšne L'Orealove šminke pri nas. Za druge cene poglejte na uradni Avstrijski Macovi strani tukaj. Lokacije drugih trgovin so tukaj in pa na uradni strani (spodaj pod store und events suchen). V Mariounaud v Gradcu govorijo angleško, ne pa slovensko (npr. v The Body Shop v nakupovalnem centru Seiersberg ena prodajalka zna)

**Update (Marec 2015): V Zagrebu se je januarja odprla prva Mac trgovina, ki je menda največja v tem delu Evrope. Vhod v trgovino je na Preobraženski ulici, zemljevid lahko najdete tukaj. V njej še nisem bila, ampak cena šmink je 151.90 kn, kar je približno 20 €.

V Budimpešti sta 2 trgovini, ena v centru v ulici Váci in ena v Arena Plaza nakupovalnem centru. V Benetkah je v drogeriji Coin, za druga mesta imate podatke tukaj. 

Od drugih mest sem bila v večini Macov v Londonu. Najbolj mi je bila postrežba všeč v Harrod's, se pa dobi še marsikje, tudi na letališčih.

Obdelali smo trgovine, zdaj pa še splet. Kakšne spletne trgovine, ki bi prodajala samo Mac ni, tudi uradne strani ne pošiljajo v Slovenijo. Najboljša možnost so posamezni prodajalci na eBayu, ki seveda navijejo cene skupaj s poštnino. Jaz najbolj zaupam ameriškim, kanadskim in britanskim prodajalcem. Allcometicswholesale ima nekaj Mac-a, samo nisem še kupovala pri njih. Isto velja za strawberynet, s tem da mi je ta stran že od nekdaj malo čudna. Pri thebodyneeds lahko dobite sample velikosti pigmentov, šmink in še nekaterih stvari. Kar pa se tiče drugih spletnih trgovin, na spletu je ogromno strani, ki trdijo da prodajajo avtentične Mac izdelke, v resnici pa so kitajski ponaredki. Nihrida je o njih že pisala tukaj. Za kako odkriti ponaredke pa obstaja ogromno objav, ampak na kratko če je prepoceni, v drugačni embalaži, je paleta z 50+ senčili ali komplet npr. 24 čopičev je ponaredek. Če je prodajalec še iz Kitajske ali tam okoli potem je tudi zelo sumljivo. 

Pa se res splača kupovati Mac? Mac je zelo priljubljena znamka v tujini, o tem ni dvoma. Seveda Američanke in Kanadčanke lahko kupujejo po cenah, ki sem nam zdijo normalne za znamke kot so L'Oreal, Bourjois in Max Factor zato se ni čudno, da imajo tuje blogerke/youtuberke toliko njihovih stvari. Evropejske cene so močno navite in se že približujejo npr. kakšnemu Lancomu, čeprav je cenovno Isadora verjetno najbližje. Njihova velika prednost je velika prepoznanost in pa ogromno barv. Jaz sem se kar malo naveličala Mac-a, je predrag in je težko sploh priti do njega. V zadnjih letih so cenejše znamke začele proizvajati zelo dobra ličila in nekateri izdelki se že kosajo z višjecenovnimi znamkami. Če si res želite nek določen izdelek si ga seveda privoščite, ampak verjemite mi da obstaja ogromno podobnih barv in tekstur pri drugih znamkah. Senčila so res dobra, ampak lahko si naprimer privoščite kakšno Naked paletko ali pa MUA približek le-te, ki so veliko lažje dosegljiva. Isto velja za šminke in vse ostalo. Seveda če bi lahko izdelke dobila po ameriških cenah bi bila tudi jaz bolj zagreta stranka. Večino Macovih izdelkov sem kupila v Gradcu in v Londonu, s tem da je v Londonu cenejši kot v Avstriji.

No to je vse. Če imate kakšna vprašanja, nove informacije ali kakšen popravek kar na plano z njimi pod komentarji. 

A short summary for international readers:
Mac is not sold in Slovenia. The closest where it's sold is in Zagreb (entrance from Preobraženska ulica), Celovec (Douglas, City Arkaden, city centre), Gradz (centre of the city, address Herrengasse 18, pictures are above, it's difficult to park in the centre), Budapest (Váci street in the centre and in Arena Plaza shopping centre) and Venice (in Coin department store). There is no official site that would ship Mac to our county, so I mostly rely on eBay. There I trust US, Canadian and UK sellers the most. Some Mac is sold on Allcometicswholesale, strawberrynet.com and you can get sample sizes on thebodyneeds. There are a lot of fake Mac products online, Nihrida wrote about her experience here. A lot has been written about how to spot fake Mac, so I suggest Google for more detailed posts, but in short if it's too cheap, comes in a different packaging, is a palette with 50+ eyeshadows or a 20-something brush kit it's fake. Also beware of suspicious web sites, most of them originate in China.

Thanks for reading.

MAC Lipstick Samples from TheBodyNeeds

Some genius at thebodyneeds had an idea to sell Mac lipstick samples. There is not a lot of opportunities for us Slovenes to see Mac lippies in person, let alone test them, and since they are not the cheapest, especially if you're not from Canada or USA, the decision to buy one unseen and based just on online swatches doesn't come lightly. I sure have made some fail purchases in the past. I got Viva Glam V and Honeylove, which turned out to be a complete miss for me. I saw in Mariounaud, Gradz that they currently retail about 19€. Madness, I tell you. Anyway, thebodyneeds had a sale on 12/12/12 with an offer for 36% off entire purchase. Naturally, couldn't let it pass and I got 9 of them. On the first picture from left to right are: Shy Girl, Overtime, Please Me, Coral Bliss, Impassioned, Lady Danger, Russian Red, Ruby Woo and Mac Red. Isn't it a pretty collection?

Edit: You can find five more shades here (Peach Blossom, Sunny Seoul, Full Speed, Relentlessly Red and Dangerous).

One sample costs 3.79$ (normal price) and you get 0.5g of lipstick. Considering that a full size Mac lippie is 3g, it's not such a small amount. If we take the prices in Austria, one 1g is 6,33€, while 1g at thebodyneeds is 5,6€, which is not that bad. Of course, if we compare it to US/Canadian prices, it's a completely different story.

Now on to the swatches (just for reference, I'm very pale, NC15 or Healthy Mix 51):

Please Me, Overtime and Shy Girl:

Shy Girl (cremesheen) - a peachy nude. I see it as a peach equivalent to Hue.

Coral Bliss (cremesheen + pearl) - light coral pink gorgeousness. My absolute favourite. I need this in full size.

Overtime (pro longwear lip cream) - light baby pink. The formula is very opaque and a bit sticky. It's incredibly beautifull in person. I like it a lot more than Creme Cup, which people say it's a dupe, but for me they aren't that close. The finish is matte.

Please Me (matte) - pink rose. Looks quite dark on me, but it's a nice everyday colour.

Impassioned and Coral Bliss:

Impassioned (amplified) - bright fuchsia. I tried to find dupes in my collection. Kiss Kiss Hibiskus from Catrice is the closest, but the formula is different (glossier) and the colour is brighter and a hint more coral/watermelon. 

Beauty UK Passion, Maybelline Color Sensational Vivids Shocking Coral, Catrice Ultimate Shine Kiss Kiss Hibiskus compared to Impassioned:

These are more like cousins than dupes. A dupe for me is if the colour is exactly the same. Kiss kiss Hibiskus comes closest on my on the lips, but I wouldn't call it a dupe. Beauty UK has a similar formula, but it's slightly darker and more of a true fuchsia. Maybelline Shocking Coral is a lot lighter.

Lady Danger, Russian Red, Mac Red, Ruby Woo:

Lady Danger (matte) - vivid orange red. Not as matte as Ruby Woo, it's more creamy.

Ruby Woo (matte) - bright true blue based red. Very matte. So beautiful and bright  in person. I wouldn't mind having a full size lipstick in my collection.

Mac Red (satin) - blue based red, but more of a burgundy red.

Russian Red (matte) - blue based red. Creamier than Ruby Woo, with a similar texture as like Lady Danger. It looks quite dark on my lips, but very beautiful nonetheless.

Comparison swatches an potential dupes:

For Russian Red, I find Manhattan Soft Matte Lip Cream in 45H to be very close, almost a dupe. Ruby Woo's closest dupe is Bourjois Lip pencil in 20 Rouge Soyeux. As for Lady Danger, Lobster Love from Catrice (discontinued, sorry) is close, but lighter, less opaque, glossier or more creamy.

I'm very happy with the purchase and they even wrote a little thank you in Slovene (Hvala vam) on the invoice. I will order some more, especially now that I've had a bit of luck and I got a 5$ voucher in a little competition on their Facebook page.
Thanks for reading!
