Revlon polish names

Why oh why do they rename the same polish?
I bought some bargains from fragrance direct last night and after googling pics look like I may already have some of them and even managed to buy 2 identical polishes with different names in the same transaction.

I bought blue mosaic which really looks like radiant- will have to compare when I receive it.
I ordered popular and starry night which bloggers reckon are the same lol.

I have facets or fuschia but I have seen it rereleased as scandalous or similar.
I got ruby ribbons as a freebie and other members here have it and mine it glittery and theirs is matte!

Does anyone have any other examples?

I find it funny and the were a total bargain from fragrance direct so no real damage done.

Oh I saw the Facets of Fuchsia one with a different name, I thought I was going mad.

Photographic proof lol

wtf they change the numbers too? thats weird

Oh that's helpful - NOT!
send the photo to them and ask if they are trying to give us all palpitations?

Is this because some of them are the US releases, and some the UK?

I honesty don't know, I bought them all in the UK but that probably doesn't mean much.

Wonder if they will send me a coupon.

But, I think some of them, especially ones from discount places like Fragrance Direct won't be UK releases.

I'm not sure that it is foreign releases. I bought facets of fuchsia in boots last year (which , btw, is gorgeous) and I'm sure I've seen it in there this year with a different name. If it was somewhere like fragrance direct, then absolutely - but I can't believe boots deal in dodgy imports!

i cmpletely agree here.

Yes it's called scandalous now and definitely got my facets if fuchsia in boots. Thought I was getting confused when I saw the new name.

Glad it's not just me

I wonder if maybe they just wanted more "punchy" names, one word like Scandalous and Girly rather than Facets of Fuchsia?

Does seem odd to rename the entire collection.

Also I saw the Scandalous in Superdrug so I don't think there's anything dodgy going on, or if there is, they're all at it lol

I hadn't thought of that Laura, but that's a very good suggestion - companies do re-name the same product to move with the times (Opal Fruits, good old Marathon, Olay, Cif etc.....).

Mmmmm Opal Fruits... the green ones...

Opal Fruits sounds so much better than Starburst....

Everything tasted better when I was a kid- bring back artificial flavouring

Prime example. Smarties actually taste pretty naff now and a bit stale. The satisfying crunch has gone

Smarties are rank now, I haven't eaten them for years! M&Ms are amazing...
