MAC and Iris Aphel Discussion

These were some of my favorite quotes from the Apfel article:

What a beautiful & inspiring woman!

"I think those whitish lips on older women look insane"

"Now since I’m older, I don’t do my eyes anymore because when you’re older, your eyelids wrinkle. If you use blue or green, and you’re not really expert, you end up looking like a turtle."

"you have to be a moron not to be able to put on lipstick"

"You have to push yourself when you’re older, because it’s very easy to fall into the trap. You start to fall apart—you just have to do your best to paste yourself together. I think doing things and being active is very important."

"Aging gracefully is about no heavy makeup, and not too much powder because it gets into the wrinkles, and you know, to not get turtle eyelids, and to not try to look young. You don’t have to look like an old fuddy-duddy, but I believe it was Chanel who said, ‘Nothing makes a woman look so old as trying desperately hard to look young"

"if women put some more of the time and money they put on their heads in their heads, they’d be better off"

"if we last until February, we’ll be married sixty-four years. We use the same perfume" She's 90 her hubs is 97!!!!!!!!!!

Not to go on about the Prep and Prime, but it really works.
I SOOOO agree with the love of Prep & Prime for your lips. It will make your lips look luscious just by itself. I use the lip pencils & Longwear lipsticks over it too.

Awesome about Scarlet Ibis Shontay!!!!

I'm so very annoyed right now - the collection launched here today, but only online and in stores. So I called my usual store and asked the SA who answered the phone to put two of the lippies on hold for me and she flatly refused. I buy there all the time and put things on hold without any problems so far, but obviously she was new. *headdesk* The soonest I can go to the store myself is Friday - and was my luck, Scarlet Ibis and Party Parrot are sold out by then!
Oh no, that sucks, can you call again and speak to someone you know? If you need anything, let me know and I'll try to help out.

Shontay, Scarlett Ibis looks stunning on you!

I wish I could wear the bright lipsticks from this collection, but I don't think they'll look good on me.

.They'd be worth at least a try.
I can't believe how fast these are selling out, especially since they're bright, "intimidating" colors.
I was doing bright lips when bright lips weren't "cool;" I'd like to think it's catching on.
BTW, my order shipped!
I wasn't worried, because the one Iris Apfel lipstick I got, Party Parrot, seems to be the least popular.
I hope I like it ...

Shontay, Scarlet Ibis looks gorgeous on you!!! Wondering if I can pull it off. I love Hibiscus (my HG!), but Scarlet Ibis seems brighter?

I actually think they're similar brightness but SI is more orange where Hibiscus is more of a red-coral.

That's probably a main reason I skipped scarlet ibis. I bought a Hibiscus and I'm not too keen on it..

Thanks! That means a lot to me, really! But maybe it's a sign that I should't try to buy MU when I'm broke?

Maybe I'll try calling them tomorrow again - hopefully there's a MA I know there then!

Keeping my fingers crossed and that you get lucky. If yo can get them in the store, maybe you do like them much less once you swatches them ;)

I just got my black box. Flamingo looks so pink on me. I don't hate it but I don't love it either.

I took pictures. If they came out decent enough I will post.
Shontay! I threw this in my order at the last minute. I haven't tried it yet. Still playing with my goodies.

At least, you won't court insanity, trying to get a backup.
I'm supposed to get my black box tomorrow.
All I got from Iris Apfel is Party Parrot. In some swatches I've seen it really appeals to me, but in others, not so much.
I went ahead and went for it, though, because clear brights almost always work on me.
As long as it's not too orange-y, I'm in good shape.

Aww, I'm so devastated that I missed out on party parrot. Anyone know any way that I can get hold of this in the UK? Or anyone happy to do a CP for me? It looks so perfect :(
