MAC for Marilyn

[0missjones]

hey is anyone still looking for love goddess??

I am

I was feeling a bit guilty for getting so many FM backups last night, but this morning I applied it to the left half of my face only, and I went from having regular skin to glowy perfect skin

(I did also do the right side too afterwards!)

And I looked at the one I'm currently using and there is a fair dip in it already, so now I feel much less bad

I wish I would have backed up FM. I love it so much and now I'm afraid to use it because I don't want it to run out!

Probably! I have Obsessive Compulsive Back-up Disorder

I can relate to that.

Scarlet Ibis is my favourite red lippie at the moment

now I regret not buying a BU, and that's coming from someone who has no bu of anything what so ever.

I've been too chicken to try my SI b/c it is so not a color I would choose and I'm new to lipstick. I also have CIS (among others LOL) sitting in it's box. I'm afraid of the CIS b/c it's blue based and I'm not in love with Eden Rouge on me which is also a blue based red. I've tried LG which is nice, but DA looks AMAZING on me. I met a guy who complimented my lipstick when I wore it. It was so cute. We were arguing and in the midst he scowled, "Your lipstick is perfect right now!" Later he said it looked natural; like it was my signature color. Is that the highest compliment someone can give you on a red? I dunno, but it made me regret not backing it up since it could be my perfect red. I need to swap my backup LG for DA instead.
I am, however, feeling encouraged to try on SI with this person's encouragement.

That first auction is trying to charge $100/item!!! Definitely a Marilyn collector though as you can see their Marilyn dolls in the background.

If you prefer DA to LG, I would swap them in your place.
I also got CIS, eventhough orange reds work better with my complexion. I was surprised that CIS actually works on me.
I love SI me. As kimibos mentioned SI is similar to Lady Danger, the only difference I see is that Lady danger is slightly more orange and is brighter, but some people don't see any difference between them, so maybe you check Lady Danger out first?))

 

[MACerette]

I actually own Lady Danger It's gorg but I see the difference betwen them)) LD seems more orange and brighter to me.

Me too. LD is more loud and a bit more orange. SI is a slightly fresher version of LD to me. I like them both, but I haven't reached for LD since I have SI.

I wouldn't want the color to be any more orange so I'd likely prefer SI to LD. (I say this having never tried an orange red before LOL.) I'm so nervous about the brightness of it. If I had a MAC anywhere near me I would try it on. Honestly, I just have to get used to looking in the mirror and seeing myself with lipstick on. It looks like an imposter most of the time. I think I've seen a couple of nice pics of CIS on people close to my shade C7/NC45 so I have a feeling it could work well, too. I just need to get over my fear of lipstick. For years I've only worn chapstick and the occasional gloss. Lipstick makes me feel like I'm playing dress up.

I am sooooooooo ready to wear my reds too. Are you going to get Runaway Red in the special holiday packaging? I love it so much that I'm thinking about it.

if it hangs around awhile, i will.

i cant see the difference, i sold the SI that i got from marylin and never got a BU from iris.

I couldn't get SI but I recently bought this NYX lipstick in "Indie Flick"...Idk if it is similar to SI, could any of you give me any input?

Top to bottom: Viva Glam I, Indie Flick, Sail la vie (I swatched these as reference, they're the only reds I have from MAC)

Thanks

SI is more red than Sail la Vie.

 

[kimibos]

the flick one looks way more orange that sail la vie. its way to orange to look like SI, sail la vie is orange compare to SI. imo the red is still dominant in SI, even tho there's orange in it. sorry


i googled it to compare swatches and its more orange that red

 

[emzy]

Thanks MACerette and kimibos! I'll just have to keep looking lol
