I never look well enough at those people to see their eyes go down:p They should appreciate us for shaking them out of their boring day!
If I sense the surprised deer in the headlights energy out of the corner of my eye, I make sure to look them right in the eye and give 'em a smile.

It definitely makes some people's day a little more interesting, that's for sure. I'm glad to be doing my small part!

Thanks guys that commented on my picture
Now THIS is what I call a perfect Heroine look! :clapping: You look adorable!! I hope you wear it often, because it's just perfect with your mouth & face shape and those giant eyes! Time to go break a few hearts, hon!
Hehe, aww thank you :D I love bold colours like these. I can see it becoming one of my favourite mac lipsticks that ill use alot, i think i might buy a backup x

Ok, maybe somebody can put my mind at ease. So far I got Lightscapade, Dynamic Duo 3, both blushes, Hyacinth eye kohl, Pink Popcorn, Heroine, Watch me Simmer (from S3), Colour saturation, Star Quality. I want to get the Reel Sexy lipstick for sure. But I am also still thinking about Dynamic Duo 4, Heirloom eye kohl and perhaps Resort eye kohl, as well as the green and purple nail polish. Who got DD 4? Who wants to anti- enable me fot the additional RS items?

My husband is really getting fed up and I know I want the make up bags, Reel Sexy l/s and about 5 Nars items (blushes/ highlight / bronzer).
Not me... ;) The Resort eye kohl is very nice if you like purple..... ;)

I really don't get it. I'm NC20 and when I tried RS in store, I looked dead. Really dead. I guess it just clashes with my skintone?

I also like to wear insanely bright lippies and think it's fun to see people slightly shocked because of it. Today I wore Sail La Vie with Riviera Life with a neutral eye and some EL Modern Mercury Powder Gelee on my cheeks, and some people stared at me in the underground. I always smile my sweetest smile at them!

Finally wore WMS... I am in love. I love how it brightens up my whole face. Honestly if this was all I could've gotten, I'd be happy.

Please don`t say the duos are good, I do my best to ignore them :)
Duo #3 is wonderful. As far as the others, 1 shade stood out and was nice and the other fell flat. So no need grabbing those if only 1 shade is a winner! But Duo #3 was a must-have for me. I love it. And even with all my MAC palettes, quads, duos, and tons of es from other brands... I didn't have dupes for either colo from Duo #3 in my stash!! HTH

I think you're good to pass... Duo 4 is nothing special and swatches and reviews show it to be a poor performer overall. I think the shades in it are dupable. You got Duo #3 which was the stand out, must have Duo of the bunch. Heirloom is nice, but subtle. I don't reach for it all that often to be honest. I anti-enable you! HeeHee
There's SOOOOO much coming up! If you want to keep your hubby happy so you can splurge in the future, I think you're good with this collection...
HTH!

I don't understand how RS can look so bright on others. On me it doesn't look crazy at all.
It can definitely be toned down too or brightened up even more with an orange lip liner underneath. It is gorgeous! This is the first lipstick I wish I got a dupe of. RS is out of stock everywhere though.
If you can get it, buy it nowww!

somehow I'm not digging heroine with dark eye looks... i thought it would be a somewhat vampy feel... but NO :( saaaad face.

I wore pink popcorn this mning with sakura on cheeks and just mascara and let's skate on lids. I looked fresh. liked it for a "OMFG I'm so late to class!"-look

Girl, Heroine with black shadow and/or very strong black winged liner is almost the only way to work it, other than just put on the lips and avoid everything else. That looks fantastic on you - I'm don't even understand what you aren't liking here

The only thing I can think of is maybe you're getting used to wearing dark shadow again now that you've grown your brows back in all the way? I find I sometimes need to apply the black shadow not as far up into my crease when my brows are fuller, or not extend it outwards as much on the sides, but from this picture, I think your application looks gorgeous. I hope that's Dark Dare!

I think the eye look looks great together with Heroine on you. I wish I could pull that off, I'm jealous, LOL.

I like that a lot of us members are posting pictures of what Heroine looks like on us. It's evident that the lipstick looks great on various skin tones!
