I'm eying Showstopper, but wondering how it compares to Simmer, Hibiscus and Azalea.
Crazy Love is already in my cart, as from the looks of it, it's the closest to Shrieking Violet. Am I correct?
Comparing bright pinks
Re: Comparing bright pinks
From the swatches and pics on the website, Azalea and Showstopper seems almost identical. Although that doesn't stop me from putting Showstopper in the cart, while Azalea is actually still on its way (It's almost 2 weeks! Why hasn't it arrived yet? Argh!).
I actually didn't notice Simmer at all, but now that you mentioned it, I checked on it and it appears to be a bit bluer-toned than Azalea and Showstopper, but not as fuchsia as Crazy Love and Shrieking Violet, I suppose. I think we really need a proper side-by-side swatch of all 5 of them.
So to sort them from the red (most pink) to blue (most fuchsia)
Hibiscus ~ Azalea ~ Showstopper ~ Simmer ~ Crazy Love ~ Shrieking Violet
Darnit now I've got another pile of lippies to order. I'm such a sucker for bright-pink/fuchsia, as well as coral/orange lippies. And I thought those pretty nudes have curbed my satisfaction. Sheesh.
Got a nice suggestion on perfect coral/orange-y lippie?

Re: Comparing bright pinks
I have a sample of Showstopper and a full size Azalea. Azalea is more of a strawberry pink with a tad more shimmer/gloss to it while Showstopper is a magenta pink. HTH

Barcelona worked for me the best, but it was a limited edition: I'm hoping it will come back! Otherwise, I love what layering Zinnia over Dixie does: perfect orange shade. I also like Ingenue for more of a coral feel along with Mirabelle.frckls wrote:

If someone would do another side-by-side swatches for orange/coral/peach lippie, that would be highly appreciated.
