I'm not afraid of it because I have Lightscapade and it works just fine on my skintone. When used with a light hand and blending brush its wondeful.

Well ladies I went to NORDSTROMS last nite 2 play in the Marilyn collection and here is my review: Both blushes were dusty and chalky and lacked any real pigmentation needed to accentuate my NC50 cheeks... The beauty powder was even worse... The lipsticks were all WOC friendly 
Love Goddess wasnt nearly as pigmented as I hoped...Scarlet Ibis is absolutely GORGEOUS n I want badly it very badly although I have her older satin sister Sail La Vie... Pure Zen is a WOC must buy and I will buy one 4 sure... Surprisingly Deeply Adored was the standout l/s 4 me and I am in luv with its matte yet creamy texture and vivid color payoff!!! The polishes were all pretty and Rich Rich Rich will be a holiday hit with its double dosage of glamourus gold... The shadows were pigmented and soft as suede but also extremely dupable... Anything else not mentioned either was run of the mill or just didnt interest me...

Thanks for the review. I may try Pure Zen at a later date since it's perm. My Nordstrom SA returns back from vacation in half an hour. (Yes, I'm waiting to call her as soon as she gets to work lol.) I need to make sure she was able to put the lippies on hold/presale for me. I originally just asked her for the BP and LG, but after seeing swatches and I emailed and asked her to add the other red lippies to my order. She never responded (found out she was off) so now I'm worried they may have already been presold. Fingers crossed as I really would prefer Deeply Adored to Love Goddess.

I know u werent addressing me but I do believe L G is most definitely Dupeable... There is a similar Rimmel Kate Moss l/s that IMO has a way better color payoff and finish... Just sayin lol

Haha! Just got in touch with my Nordies SA and told her how things are sold out and hard to get. She said she WILL get my stuff even if it means hiding it in the back and being sneaky. Funny part is that she works at the Lancome counter.
I grabbed the lippies and even kept the BP on my order so I wouldn't have skipper's remorse. I'm sure it won't work for me though.
I wore Eden Rouge last week and it just looked off on me. I think it was likely the blue base. Not sure if I can pull that off. I was wearing Hidden Treasures blush, too. Was it maybe b/c one item was warm toned and the other cool? I swear I suck at makeup which is why I've worn the same look for YEARS.

I went to my local M.A.C store, next week I'll take 4 : Scarlet Ibis, Deeply adored, Surely Charmed and Love Goddess. Today I took a blush from the Office Hours collection waouh great ! Christine from Temptalia rated D or F so far I remember, I don't understand why, the blush I took is just perfect and really longwear. 24 € here in France, and I think the lipsticks for Marilyn are 21 € each.

pinkcrush,
ER looks gorgeous on you! I wore it for the first time today and wondered why I didn't pick it up last year with Potent Fig.
I will most def try it with Raizin blush. Raizin doesn't get enough love.
I wore ER today with HT blush - love that combo.
I was feeling a little frisky today so after lunch I mixed ER with a bit of Love Goddess.
One can never wear too many reds!

I love all of my MM lippies as well.
The only one I've worn thus far is Love Goddess.
I actually took my three lovelies to work today so I could show them to my co-workers. None of them wear make-up at all.
They were impressed with the packaging!
I'm trying to get as many l/s in rotation before Oct. 1st because after that it will be pink lippies for 31 days.

I've been trying to figure out what my pink lipsticks would be. I think I'll probably alternate between polish and lipstick to make it work. I'm not sure if Love Goddess counts since it's actually more red with hints of pink.

or Fire & Ice. I have both. Cherries in the Snow is Pink with red tones and Fire & Ice is a red with pink tones. Love me some Revlon lipsticks
Cherries in the Snow is closer though. Depends on if you want it to pull more red or pink.
