What's a good liner to go w/ Rocker?
I don't have Rocker, but seeing it from swatches and photos, I suggest MAC's Brick lip liner or Make Up For Ever's 9C lip liner.

I just called MAC to propose a "What if" situation if i didn't have a lipstick i ordered come in the box.I spoke to a rep and also a supervisor and both said this: basically when they released, they sold out. they went back and did a final count, and they had extra, and so they sold out of that. And then they are in the process of doing a recount again, so if they do have extras then they will ship. otherwise for the next 48 hours they cannot say or guarantee a lipstick because there may be none available.  I want to see if that girl actually gets one or did someone just promise her one unknowingly if they had any or not.
Weird because earlier someone posted something from MAC's facebook, or a phone call, I don't remember saying they were MAKING more.

On Fb, I said "Canada still waiting for Candy Yum Yum restock... including me D;"

"MAC Cosmetics Sorry Anna - They disappeared in a blink of an eye. No plans for more but Lickable Lipstick is a beautiful alt: http://bit.ly/MACLickableLipstick."

soooo.... I guess my money went to Sephora for urban decay and tokidoki... sorry MAC, as much as I love you and have been a loyal customer for over 5 years... the trends have gotten more and more ridiculous. I used to enjoy the laid back feel of collections and where everything was well stocked to last a few days at least. I might not even bother with mothbrown... idk. MAC really knows how to get me down these days D; If I was a US customer, I would have been able to purchase with the few restocks, but Canada has been neglected D;

I'm in the UK and even I've noticed Canada gets neglected. Amazing considering MAC is based in Canada. It's one thing that will really annoy me when I finally get to move back to Canada.

My lipstick arrived today. I love moxie so hard. I do hope there is a restock because I think I need another tube. Most reds pull orange on me and this one pulls pink. Yeah I know it is supposed to be a bright pink but it is very red with pink undertones and I couldn't be happier about that. I hope you all get your packages soon and are happy with your colors :D

Monday seems so far away! I've had A WEEK. I need my new lipstick fix lol
I hear ya. Mine are due to arrive Monday as well. I am glad they were able to reinstate this order. Did you get all three lippies? I can't remember besides the 2 CYY's what you got.

I got my Moxie and Rocker today. Both are gorgeous!

I find Moxie somewhat similar to Impassioned, but Impassioned definitely has more coral in it. Moxie is definitely bright, but not as neon as Impassioned. It's a bit darker, and the finish is obviously different. I find Moxie more wearable, and it's not too red on me :) I believe that with the right liner underneath, Impassioned could be made to look like Moxie.

Rocker is so pretty. I doesn't pull brown or orange on me, just a deep oxblood red. The bits of sparkle make it look so special. There were little sparkles I could see, but then there was one blue sparkle, that caught the light just right. It almost looks accidental, like when you put on a glittery lipstick, wipe it off, and then put on another more matte lippie. I was a bit skeptical of sparkles in a matte lipstick, but it works so well. I'm so happy that this colour works with my skintone. I was worried it would look blah and brown. I would say that it's in the same colour family as Runaway Red (1st run), but they're not dupes. Runaway Red is brighter.

Yup! I got 2 of each lipstick. Yesterday, I ordered another moxie and rocker on the phone - I saw CYY sold out again online, so I called since *sometimes* a phone order can have different results. No such luck for Candy, but at least I got BUs of The others. I know I'll use em. I was so sad since I usually take my break at the same time every day, but yesterday I decided to wait! Go figure I missed CYY by a few minutes lol.

Sorry about CYY. But Moxie and Rocker do look amazing. So at least you got one of each and a bu. I've actually never backed up a lippie. I don't work so I don't always put makeup on daily. I am a stay at home mom so don't really need to but I do feel so much better when I do put some on.

My three most used lippies right now are Watch Me Simmer, Pink Pigeon and Flamingo. I have a smidge left of my first Flamingo, but it's a lustre and those get used up the fastest. I've used just a little more of PP than WMS, but I wear PP a bunch. I'm hoping CYY works out as more of a BU sustitute for PP because I don't ever want to run out of it!

My lipsticks arrived! No issues with the lipsticks, but I didn't get notified until an hour after they were already delivered. I'm even signed up to receive text alerts, so I don't know why I didn't get instant notification. Weird.

I love each of them for different reasons. I don't know if I'm missing anything with the old CYY, but the new one is beautiful. It's still very neon. Moxie pulls more of a lovely watermelon pink on me and is darker than Impassioned. Rocker is a sultry red wine shade and surprisingly not as dark as I thought it would be. Love them all!

Here are some liner suggestions based on what I have in my stash for colors that are close to the lipsticks:
NYX Plush Red is very close to Moxie
NYX Hot Pink is a little darker than Candy Yum-Yum
NYX Auburn is similar to Rocker but lacks the red/burgundy hue

You mean like with the Viva Glam lipsticks? Making it available for only a year? That's a great idea. It keeps its LE cult status, and would still be available long enough for people to buy it. The only thing I could see is the frenzy that will follow when the season comes to an end. But everyone would've had a year to get it at that point, so there should be no complaints.
No I was thinking like 3-4 months.

I work from home and but I find myself throwing on some lipstick and blush just to liven things up for myself, lol.
