I think I’m going to stifle my need to buy every new thirty dollar lippie and just place one huge order from ColourPop! LOL These are pretty, though!

What’s the difference between this formula and the Nars Audacious formula? Might seem like a weird question but I’m asking because I own two Audacious ones and I like them but I’m curious about this formula, which is similarly priced and has a lot of nice colors.

How is Thrilling compared to Too Faced Melted Berry? I’ve been trying to find a hydrating version of that shade and this looks close…
