Congrats on the promotion @duckrodeo!

I finally got Moxie & man it is bright on me! It's even brighter than CYY.

I'm curious, would you wear CYY or Moxie to work?

I am desperately seeking Candy Yum Yum...if anyone has an extra I can purchase it from you...or I also have Moxie or Ripe Peach Blush Ombre
I'm CPing the l/s for a couple of the ladies on here when this comes out in the UK in October. If you haven't managed to snag it by then, let me know!

Thanks all for the congrats! It's just an offer so far, but I don't think they're allowed to hand it over in case something happens! So I'm applying for management this week! I've been here four years, had my BA in Communication since June 2010 so I'm hoping this opportunity pans out and opens doors for me! The job market has been brutal in Oregon and all the Communications-based positions require management experience, so here goes nothin'!
Good for you! Experience builds and even if something doesn't directly relate to your field, it can certainly provide transferable skills. I got my first post uni job because I'd worked at a fast food outlet for a few years in high school/uni and had moved into management. My first employer interviewed me because they figured if I could keep my cool and get things done in that type of chaotic environment then I would do the same with their clients.

The job market is brutal almost everywhere right now, but showing that you've taken on increasingly senior roles is always valued.

Have fun picking out your new shadows. :)

Thanks doll! I'm excited! I love wearing bright lippies to work! Usually I'll keep the rest of the makeup minimal, just a little sweep of eyeshadow, liner and mascara, and Pink Cult is a great neutral cheek color! Pink Pigeon is my favorite lipstick that I wear to work all the time! And Red Racer or Ruffian Red. I haven't worn Heroine yet though! Lol. Moxie I would def wear to work, it's a bold lip that's still fun. I have a small mouth so I like wearing lipstick, I feel it balances my features :) CYY i've only tried on once, but it does look similar to PP on me so I would say yes, that will get worn to work too! On the weekends, unless I'm going out, i don't wear any makeup lol

I haaad to do some swatch comparisons! Lol click the image to make it larger!
L to R: Show Orchid, Quick Sizzle, Candy Yum-Yum, Pink Pigeon / Party Parrot, Force of Love, Moxie, Impassioned, Fusion Pink

CYY is definitely lighter and brighter than the other three, while Moxie is deeper and bolder than her cousins. You can still kind of detect a pinky-red with Moxie, whereas the others are more coral-red.

I still like Pink Pigeon more!!! I haven't tried CYY on yet, but PP matches Embrace Me l/l and I can imagine that CYY might look a little similar to PP when using the lip liner (but still a little on the lighter and purple side).
WOW!! Swatches are amazing and I have all of the lipsticks that you have swatched! I have Moxie in the box and I have yet to do a review and swatch. I'm waiting for Mothbrown and Jete to arrive in a few days since my order shipped today.

Thank you for the encouragement and for sharing your experience! I always had the ideal image of graduating college and stepping out into the corporate world with my own desk and a salary! Lol but sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do and right now employers definitely are valuing experience earned outside of a classroom! I do love my job, though. I like the fast-paced atmosphere and interacting with customers! I'm sad to see my current manager go, she's been just like a mom to everyone! She'll still be around, though! We go makeup shopping all the time hehe!

Guess what just got delivered, standard shipping?

I had no idea what to expect from Moth Brown, but it's a great crease colour. I have absolutely no greys so this is definitely unique in my colleciton. I see some purple in it on me, but there's nothing brown about it; it's almost a steel grey. Jete is also very pretty, a brightening shimmery pink. I'll have to try it out tomorrow when I don't have a base colour on to gauge if I think it's too cool/pink for me. If it is, my daughter will love it.

I'm glad I got both.

As an aside, the site still shows 'Pending' for my order which is typical. I usually get the products before that gets updated.
That makes me feel better, because I ordered standard shipping yesterday morning, and nothing yet :( I was getting worried about not receiving the shipping notice. I ordered MB and Jete as well.

Hey, do you have UD Scratch? Wondering if it's similar to Jete?

Moth Brown is NOT ALLOWED to sell out until my shipment arrives and I determine whether or not a BU is necessary!

EDIT: AHHHHH! Just checked my shipping status and noticed that it's not scheduled to arrive until next MONDAY!!!

I don't have any UD, so I can't compare. Jete isn't as cool as Da Bling (only other pink in the house), but it's not warm like Arena either (my fave neutral my lid but better shade).

On the bright side, Moth Brown can help cure a serious case of the Mondays though! You weren't kidding when you said MAC is slow!
