So I have been thinking about this for a few days. First, thank you for all the posts and swatches! They have helped a ton. I need this Benefit Blush pallet. I have no Benefit cosmetics, so this seems like a great way to try them out. Plus, the price point is great.

After seeing the Kat Von D swatches, I am going to have to pass. I have every other mini lip set she released. They hold a special place in my heart, but there are only two colors I would really wear in this set, and they look patchy plus I have dupes. The new formula is a total bummer for me. I think all of us have different chemistry and needs, but the only one of her new lip products that work on me is Poe, and then, only with some care. ;<

But I will take the $39 I set aside for that and throw it into the "What the crap is that massive QVC Tarte set... OMG pile." I showed it to my husband who smiled and I said that depending on how much it is, I might need he and at least one of our mothers to chip in for it as a Christmas present. I did the same for him at his birthday when he wanted a $150 dollar Prime Axiom for his Warmachine set. He said he would, so crossing my fingers.

Thanks again for all the great info!

I agree with what you said regarding the Kat Von D lipstick set.

I also have all of the other Kat Von D lipstick sets that have come out over the years as well as a couple of full sizes of the Painted Love lipsticks.  I was intrigued by the Studded Lipstick set but after looking at swatches I know I would realistically only use 4 of those colors, and I already have 2 of those 4.  For me it makes more sense to buy the full sizes of the 2 that I like and don't yet have.  It's a great set for those who like and don't already have the majority of the colors.  I love my Kat Von D minis from years past  :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
The HSN Benefit blush set sold out this afternoon...so I guess that settles my debate for me, lol.  

 
I'm almost screaming... hell, I might need to take a Greyhound down to Toronto this weekend coming up so stuff doesn't sell out on me. Damn living in the middle of nowhere!

The price is right on the KVD set, though. I'm thinking it'll be 45 CDN so that's a relief.

 
I'm debating whether I want the KvD lipstick set. Realistically, I wouldn't use a lot of the colors, but it's a good price, and I do want to try them... I'm thinking that maybe I should get it and try to trade or sell the colors I don't want.

 
So glad the boyfriend was able to help me get the Benefit Cheeky Sweet Spot on Friday because it's selling out fast everywhere!

 
@@tweakabell thanks for the swatches of the Kat Von D set.  I ended up grabbing one today!  I had to ask for it since it wasn't out yet and the SA wasn't quite sure what I was talking about was nice enough to look around for me and found it!  

eta:  then she and another sales associate both wanted it too :p /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

LOL my cashier was the same way. It took her forever to get it in my bag, she kept turning it over to look at it.

 
After trying them all on my face I like all of them but Agatha (the beige) and Motorhead (darkest red/burgandy). Agatha is too close to my skin color, it makes it really scary to watch me talk its just this hole in my face lmao. Motorhead I look like a little kid who wants to play goth I just can't pull it off. Every other color is perfect though.

hahah!  I think Agatha looks nice but it does seem really light. I haven't swatch any yet (the horror...but been so busy)  but I have looked at them.  I'm excited about all of them except for countess (don't like orange lippies at all) and hexagram.  I can't wait to try some of them out tomorrow.
