This kind of reminds me of Anna from NARS.
I was looking for a nice muted Lilac color, but I bought NYX Power and have been mixing it with various nudes, so I don’t feel that I’ll spend over $30 on a lipstick. Even though it’s still in stock right now aaahhhh!
I thought of Nars Dominique when i saw the color description. Not sure i want to make a blind purchase on something so expensive. hopefully it will be a color that has close dupes. with wash & dry & huggable coming up I’m “trying” not to buy anything.
This is sold out right? I tried to get this yesterday afternoon and it looked like it had came in stock and sold out sometime within a few hours that I was in a meeting. my computer is showing it out of stock now.
It officially launched this morning, 8:45AM PST? or around there, but it sold out after a few hours!
That’s funny because I was checking like crazy for this since the end of April. I looked yesterday am around, 730am EST prior to a training session at the hospital. I didn’t get out until close to noon. Looked on my phone , the color was up and it said out of stock. I thought it maybe just was getting ready to launch because I didn’t get an email notice or see your notice. I called the VIB line and sure enough, it had launched and sold out. Idk if it launched again this am? Did you see all the peeved comments about this one and how they handled it? I’m not sure that I’m going to buy anymore now. Its too much like MAC but you can’t pre sale. I have Nars Dominique. I’m hoping it’s a dupe because I was very bummed on this one!
Sephora really doesn’t handle these launches very well. Being Rouge means nothing. Never notified of any kind of launch or first dibs. Don’t think we missed out much on this. The color is pretty, but nothing extraordinary. So far the formula on these lipsticks hasn’t been impressive. Way overpriced.
It was sold out this morning, but lavenders and lilacs are tricky on me, so I’m ok skipping this one, since I can’t swatch in advance. I do like that they went for a much more unique shade this month. Looking forward to next month’s color.
I am leaving this shade to those who can pull off something this cool toned and almost grayish. It will probably work very nicely on those who have pink or burgundy in their skin’s undertone, I’m thinking?
Yep definitely passing on this one. These type of colors just don’t look flattering on me. It is definitely more unique than their other releases so I’m interested in seeing swatches 🙂
I don’t need it, but I can’t get enough of colors like this! I’ll probably shell out $36 for it.
This is my kind of color. But, I’ve been disappointed with the quality of some of the Bite colors I’ve gotten. Going to wait for your review-will probably pass because the price is too high for an ordinary lipstick.
I got this shade a couple of weeks ago when a Sephora glitch led to this going up early. I love it. It’s not like anything from Nars Audacious (I have a ton of them). Specifically, Dominique is darker and less gray than this. This lipstick has a bit of sheerness that works with darker skin so that it won’t look crazy. I am about a Mac NC42-44 and this is the kind of color that I would run away from, but this formula really makes it work. No liner, no manipulation. This shade and the coral from March (I believe) are fantastic. Can’t wait to see the rest.
this color is gorgeous! but always sold out 🙁
I love this shade, but it resembles lippies I already have including Bite’s Cava and Mac Feed The Senses. Nothing unique about it.
Ooh, can’t wait to see swatches of this! I wonder if it’s close to NARS Dominique.
I passed on this one because lilacs look horrible one me.
Oh, I hope this one comes back in stock!!!
Passed on March and April.. and I thought this looked quite unique. Could be potentially horrible against my skintone. But I grabbed it anyway. Hate that it’s impossible to wait for a review.
If I had remembered to order before this sold out (so quickly this month), I would have ordered this shade.
In the tube it does remind me of MAC Syrup.
