They are very different, I'll try to do swatches for you tomorrow. Kinetic is not warm like Dancing Shoes, it is a cool neutral brown, with lots of silver shimmer. And it also look to me like it has green and maybe even some blue iridescence. It looks almost metallic on the lips. I know it sounds sort of strange, after all it is very unique and there's nothing really similar to it. But I love the way it looks on my lips, I think it is incredibly pretty!

If I could could change anything about it, that would be it, have it be an ALG or at least a Buttercream. Love the new formulas!

Here are the swatches:
Dancing Shoes is right, and Kinetic left
This first pic is with my had titled forward so the shimmers don't look as reflective, so you can see the base color

This pic is what the colors look like when light hits them, you can see all the shimmers

There are a few skincare sample kits......
And I am sure she is considering the other kit ideas for future releases. (We kind of ran out of time...and this is a Valentine's Collection and not a Spring one!

)
Hey JenW, just making sure I'm not losing my marbles here...Are there skin care kits in this release? I don't see anything under kits and accessories....
Haha I had to find it too - I was like "what is she talking about??"

Sparkly nude! Interesting. And green and blue iridescence like you wanted, Oxana? Can you do a lip swatch, pretty please? I really don't need to order anything else but it looks so intriguing!

Here's the lip swatch:
there's no pink at all to Kinetic, that's just the color of my lips showing through.

The clear lip gloss is great for making your own custom gloss:
