If I ordered Flaunting It I probably don't need Narcisus right?
Flaunting it is much more greyed out and dirty than Narcissus, besides being a totally different texture. If you'd like something a little smokier for your lips, Flaunting It is the way to go. It was my favorite color from Peacocky along with Exxxhibitionist, which didn't get brought back ;(

As promised with my swatch comparisons of Dish It Up, I tried out my Shop & Drop quad paired with Dish It Up lipstick. Here's the look I created last night!


Excuse the cell phone pictures, I don't know where my digital camera is at the moment! I tried to use my make-up mirror to give some sort of natural daylight glow..I also don't know what the hell went wrong with my eyebrows (!!!!) but that sparse side is usually somewhat hidden by my bangs anyway lol.



I attempted to use Shop & Drop minimally, so that the lipstick would more or less speak for itself. For reference and comparisons, my skin leans more toward NC15 (though rather neutral undertones).

Sugar Snack was applied all over the lid
Hynotizing was placed in the inner corner, and inner half of the bottom lashline
Power Boosted was applied in the second outer half of the lid and into the crease blended toward the browbone, as well as the bottom outer half of the lower lashline.
Shop & Drop used solely in the crease to smoke out and blend with Power Boosted
I also used Urban Decay Virgin as a brow bone and inner tear duct highlight

I used Just Wonderful l/p to line the lips and fill it in (my lips are very red, so sometimes they eat up lustre colors), I then applied Dish It Up l/s and paired on top with Narcissus cremesheen glass.

My cheeks have a mixture of Vintage Grape and Coygirl blush :)

They are totally different on me! Flaunting it is much "dirtier" but also much warmer somehow, looks more like a natural lip color on me. Narcissus is more vibrant and colorful, brighter and "happier" if you will. Also the textures are very different......
I think someone posted swatches next to each other a few pages back and they show nicely the difference in color and texture.
I would say that if you can get a hold of Narcissus that I cannot imagine that you would regret it!

If I ordered Flaunting It I probably don't need Narcisus right?

I really love this look! I'm considering both Dish it Up and the Shop & Drop quad now :)

We have the same coloring, and let me tell you, you HAVE TO GET NARCISSUS... I never buy back-ups and yet I bought THREE. It is unreal, try it on and you will be amazed.

I'm totally suffering from all the below symptoms!

I was gone from my comp for a single day while out and about buying up a few items from the Jason Wu x Target collection, and Watch Me Simmer is all ready sold out online! I went ahead and got the Call Me Bubbles quad and Optimistic Orange creme blush. Looks like I'll have to troll my local counters next weekend to see if there are any Watch Me Simmer lipsticks left :(


Needless to say, this kind of tragedy could be prevented by MAC HAVING ENOUGH STOCK!
Pardon my shouting, but this syndrome has affected me, as well as many others of whom I know, and it's so horrible, and so easily preventable.

Ok, I love the look on duckrodeo so much that I want Dish it Up and Shop and Drop.

Would Dish it up work on me? I'm NC/NW 15 with brown eyes and red hair.

YAY! You will NOT be sorry, I can assure you of that! I was crazy about it the first time I tried it on, but when my boyfriend, then my mom, then my co-worker made comments on it, I knew it was LOVE!!
Please let me know what you think of it once you get it

You have convinced me to get it!
It's still available on the canadian site so I'll get it on my next order.
