for Ruffian?
I'm really entranced by the nails. I don't normally like nail art very much, but these have a bit more of a sophisticated look. Nice for a night out some time!

I like the red lipstick, but I'd really want to make sure that it doesn't look like 40 other red lipsticks I already own. Don't know if I could pull off gold lips, but that one is oddly tempting.

I think that's the idea. :)



The gold lippie might be nice for the pool/beach and/or for layering.

I really want to pick up one of the lipsticks for collector's sake, but I never wear red lipstick, the nude doesn't look like it will be flattering (too light and grey for NC20) and I already have a gold layering lipstick (sunsational). I don't know what to do.

It sounds like you should get the red one, then, since it'll be the most "collectible" color out of the three, plus you don't have a bunch of reds already. Who knows, it might look great on you and you'll be a red convert!

On the other hand, if you really don't feel like you'd use any of them anyhow, you could always skip the whole thing and use your savings on upcoming collections that are more your style. That's what I'm probably going to do, even though the nail sets are a bit tempting.

Thanks for the advice. After reading it, your logic makes a lot of sense. I've owned Russian Red and So Scarlet (Cult of Cherry) in the past, but I ended up giving both away. I'll probably get Ruffian Red if I catch it in time, but if I miss it, I won't be heartbroken.

You're welcome Ladies & Gent! Suddenly I'm interested in the gold one lol.
Hehe, wait until we see swatches and you probably want all of it.

It's a nice small collection and bridges the time between HS and HC. Bring it on, MAC!

Olive-based nude??!

When is this coming to Europe? Was it Sept/Oct only?
