Please help with SN Dupes for a friend

[pinkfox]

I have a friend who is a high end mu snob. Right now she is wanting 3 Hourglass lips products but has to save, save, save for them. I'd like to surprise her with some dupes to show her how great SN products really are. Hopefully you can help. She wants Icon, Muse and the Scarlet lip stain (I'm thinking maybe Vamp for this)

Icon and Muse swatches

For Icon, maybe Bombshell Red?

The stain looks like Vamp....

For the lip colors, Bombshell and maybe Combustion (although the one in your pic looks pinker...), so maybe Verve...

The lipstain actually looks like Doll to me, that's what it looks like on my lips.
Icon seems Crimson to me, Bombshell is a bit deeper, has more burgundy in it.
Muse looks like some coral, Verve may work or the combo of Verve and Mirabelle? It's really pretty, I would love to see something like that from SN if we can't find a match.

Hourglass Scarlet is most definitely Vamp. Although, I agree with egerandi, might be Doll as well. But looking at several swatches and the photos on the net, the liquid color and the swatches, it is closer to Vamp. Besides, the description in Sephora for Scarlet is "soft plum". End result on lips may vary, though.

Hourglass Icon is definitely Crimson. Bombshell is you dark for a "deep cherry red" with blue undertones. Crimson much?
Combustion is Hourglass Raven, no doubt.

Hourglass Muse, from the color and description ("bright coral red"), really seems like Blushberry. Although Blushberry is sheerer, but the end result is the same. I think Incite is too tomato red compared to Muse. Never tried Verve and Mirabelle, though. Maybe will get Verve on spring (if Karen does not have more interesting color on the spring collection to offer, which is very unlikely LOL)

I think Hourglass scarlet is more like a mix of vamp + something a bit lighter. It remindes me of a mix a did with vamp + gigi. At least on my lips vamp turns out a little more deep and "vampyrish" than the scarlet picture.

The Scarlet stain looks just like Doll on my lips, Vamp is much redder to me (so, vampy!).
Muse looks quite similar to Incite to me in terms of hue but Muse seems milkier and less sheer.
