Mine is supposed to arrive today too! Too bad I have to work til 9pm today... must wait patiently til I get home...



Adding UTA to my wishlist!

I have final exams until 3 PM and I'm off today so I get to go home and play with my new items for a while. And yes, definitely add UTA to your wish list! I sold that lipstick sooooo many times while I was working. It's the color I always recommend for women who want to step out of the neutral zone and get colorful. GAT is also another one. They're both for everyone!

Oh, and I like your profile pic! You're pretty!

Yes...me too!
I got BUs because MAC does not release lavender lipglasses all too frequent.
You're welcome! And yea, I'm pretty satisfied with Famously Fab. I've tried this combo many times with NYX purple rain lip liner and also by dabbing UTA l/s on my lips and topping it off with FF l/g.

My package is coming today so I'm excited about GAT l/s along with Morange l/s, l/g and Spice l/s, l/g
BEEaboutmakeup will you post swatches? I need to see Spice on a brown girl to know if I want it or not.

I'm with Richelle - there is no difference between Color Saturation and Rebel on me. However since I love the color so much I figure it's the same thing as a back up. Rebel can get darker with the layers and lasts longer than Color Saturation so that's something I can use to justify it. Lol.

I also got Russian Red l/g. Why have I never tried this before? It's a perfect red for me and heaven knows I've tried several.

I have Chestnut l/g and GAT l/g on the way to my house today. I cannot wait. If I can get a good shot I'll do swatches.

Wah. I missed out on Razzledazzler! Now i'm sad that I wasn't stalking the forums/websites as often as I usually do. Silly weekend plans, haha.

Waiting and hoping (im)patiently for a restock.

Up the Amp l/s on the left; Famously Fab l/g on the right



Thanks for the photo. I've tried Up the Amp on my the back of my hand which helps me eliminate some colors. But colors look rather different on my lips, so that's the real challenge for those that pass the hand test. (i test foundations and blushes on my inner arm, since that's closer to my face color)

As for Famously Fab, I pre-ordered from Tour de Fabulous, but my local MAC shop didn't have a Famously Fab sample and the SA wasn't sure they'd be getting it. So i didn't order it. And when i finally saw swatches i was in love, but it was all sold it. And it is SOOOO my kind of color

Now it's on eBay for an exorbitant amount of money.

You're welcome! Try swatching lipstick on your fingertips... the skin on the back of your hand and on your lips are dramatically different! Usually all lips have lines... hence why we were taught to swatch l/s on customer's fingertips or sanitize and apply it to their lips of course. When I matched customers foundation I matched it to their chests unless their face, neck, AND chest were all the same color. I used to hate it when girls would come to the counter and think they're foundation was supposed to match their neck! This was mainly a problem for my fellow brown gals since a lot of us have pigmentation problems (I have them too). You don't want to be an NW45 in the face and neck, but NW43 in the chest ... your pictures will look HORRENDOUS! LOL. The face and chest are the focal points for the camera. And don't worry about FF l/g! MAC is notorious for re-promoting! I didn't get Watch Me Simmer the first time around but when I found out it was getting repromoted with Reel Sexy, I made sure I got it. LOL <3

I'm uploading swatches on here now, but I'll do lip swatches on my blog tomorrow after my two final exams!

Got my package today! (from left to right): Morange lipstick, Morange lipglass, Spice lipstick, Pillow Talk lipstick (Wasn't a part of the order; used to compare to Spice lipstick), and Spice lipglass.

1st color/Bottom: Girl About Town lipglass
2nd color/Bottom: StylePacked lipglass (Wasn't apart of the order; used to compare to Girl About Town lipglass)

LIP SWATCHES and Overview will be on my blog some time tomorrow.

Like I said numerous times, I never backup items, but Spice lipstick and lipglass are definitely backup worthy.

great swatches

Is spice lipstick darker than pillowtalk? I have spice lipliner but idk how close it looks to the lipstick. The spice lipliner doesnt look like a nude on me and i want to see if the lipstick turns out to be a nude

morange lipglass looks very tangerine compared to the lipstick. love it

Thanks for the swatches, ernie and bee! Spice looks really nice! Pillow Talk is a really cute darker nude on me so it is helpful to see how it compares to Spice.
