How does it compare to Cyber???
What?! I didn't see it on the Canadian site, and I've checked a couple of times. Oh well, I am getting a CP but I'd have rather not put the person to the trouble if I could have gotten it here.Well crap. I thought that this one was in the US only. Now that I see it's available in Canada... it's sold out.
I shouldn't be too upset, because I do have lots of vampy lip colours, but I also hate to let a special one go... dang.
I know. I hadn't even thought to check, then I looked at the site this evening and *bam* there it is, sold out. WOULD'VE BEEN NICE TO GET A M---ERF--KING HEADS UP, MAC!!! Ahem. Oh fiddlesticks, I seem to have missed out on this lipstick.
Omg I thought it was just me ugh stupid banner!! What I did was have to zoom in a little to click on what I wanted so frustrating.
HOW COME I CANT SEE IT??? i was annoyed by the one that was on last week about a soup or microwaved food. i hated that video!!!!!It's driving me nuts too. Stupid Macy's. Why don't they TEST these things!?!? I won't see their stupid ad ifi leave the site in frustration, now will I? Too many beauty blogs have the ad too. Grr.
Ok not surprised. If you hang around with any gay men like the ones she is describing she is right, and I KNEW she was influenced by that culture. I get to see my lippie tomorrow when I go to work. WOHOOO!!!
Dark lipsticks don't have to be aging at all! The main challenge with dark lipsticks is making lips look smaller. If you have full lips or lips you can shape well with pencil, etc., no reason not to rock dark lipsticks. YR is especially forgiving because it's so glossy and moist looking - that adds lots of volume to the lips, too.I ordered Yung Rapunxel in the Pacific Time Zone on the morning it went on line. I was driving west in I-80 through Nevada on my way home and desperately looking for a likely place with wifi so i could order it. I ended up eating breakfast in a casino (i hate casinos - they smell so horrible - like fresh air has never entered) with my laptop on my dining table. I must be a little bit nuts.
My Black Box full of MAC goodies finally arrived yesterday late afternoon. I had ordered items from By Request, Styleseeker, and some miscellaneous items that were still hanging around from other collections - stuff that had been sitting in my shopping bag for weeks - and YR. Naturally i couldn't wait to try YR. After reading here that so many others had trouble with it, i was pleasantly surprised that for me it went on smoothly, evenly, and deeply richly colored in one pass. I don't know if there were different batches of lipstick or i just have lips that YR loves
Today i'm wearing YR ("deep plum cream") with foundation & concealer - this color is extremely dramatic on light skin and i felt i needed to make sure my skin tone was very even, Pink Tea blush ("neutral beige pink"), and Art of Powder In the Abstract highlighter. On my eyes are Dark Diversion eye liner ("blackened plum"), New Hue mascara ("blackened burgundy"), and - pushing the colors a little to the warm side - Jeté eye shadow ("sandy coral" that on me looks sort of golden tan) plus a non-MAC frosted white blended in the center of my lids and a non-MAC darker tan in the outer crease.
I've read that dark lipstick colors are considered aging on older women (i'm one) and that it's better to go for colors that are close to one's own natural lips - which i do for more business-like situations. But i've seen myself in our performance videos and in photos, and i like how i look better with dark lip colors... because they make me look as if i actually have lips ;-) since my eyes are hidden by my glasses.
So this long ramble means i am quite happy with YR. Now to get a dark warm brown, too - i'm thinking of Chestnut or X-S...
oooh prince noir is amazing! very sexy and vampy
It's super effin annoying!!!It's driving me nuts too. Stupid Macy's. Why don't they TEST these things!?!? I won't see their stupid ad ifi leave the site in frustration, now will I? Too many beauty blogs have the ad too. Grr.
Cyber is darker and matte and YR is ligher and a touch more purple with a glossier finish
