I am so out of the loop with MU & I don't even know what the must haves from this collection are and were...maybe I'm better off this way???
I love the way it looks too, but I have Potent Fig mattene from the Posh Paradise collection and I don't use it that much. I'm thinking that if DE is a little bit redder it would suit me better than PF, but I can't find decent swatches on someone with a similar skin tone.
Maybe MAC Media would be a more wearable version, not sure though.

Hi Bliur, Thanks for the tip. Next time you pass a counter, I would try Diva on it is a pretty, dark red that might be what you are looking for. I just read T's description & dont agree that there is red in this LS. On my NC20 skin with the worst in store lighting DE didn't read red on me at all! I'd like to find a more wearable darker, vampy purple LS but lighter than DE. I did try on Media & Dark Side on, but they weren't an urgent must have now LS. Dark Side is on my eventual to buy list.

I like Nars Damned matte velvet lip pencil with MAC Nightmoth lipliner to darken it and define the lips. It's much more wearable than DE! Damned without the lipliner is much lighter, you really need Nightmoth. But that's not a good suggestion if you are looking for a MAC lipstick.

i recently picked up good ole' permanent media. if i want it darker, i really apply it, but it's nice just dabbed onto lips as well :) but plenty of other brands are doing this whole kinda darker vampy thing, you should be able to find something for sure!

Yung Rapunxel is a sheer dramatic encounter.
I only used YR once since I got it and I used it as a bit of a stain as tbh, it just scared the crap out of me being so dark. The problem is with the stain, it made me look like my lips were frozen. :/

I swore I was done with this collection but idleness and boredom took control yesterday. Lets just say that OCD and the hoarder in me won bigtime. I am so ashamed and disappointed in myself as something is seriously wrong here. I don't have a clue as to why I called around to a couple mac counters. I was told by most that Impossible Sweet was sold out which I kinda knew and even though I had two (2) I freaked out and went into panic mode. A store fairly close to me had about six (6) left. I told the MUA who knew me and took the call to hold all of them for me. When we got there were actually eight (8) in stock. I purchased six (6) for $104 and a visiting relative from England with me also got one (1) for herself as well as a Natural Flirt. She has no clue what I did at the counter as I had sneakily made my arrangements via phone before getting there. Now I have a total of eight (8) IS l/g. I am very ashamed of myself because there is some serious underlying problems going on here!!!!!

They will just have to join my Glitter and Ice Pleasure Principle Dazzleglasses which I never want to run out of in all their shimmery multi-colored sparkling lovliness. I will admit however that I do need some psycho-therapy sessions ASAP!!!!!
LMFAO. Glad I am not the only one. I have driven around my five counties tracking down eyeshadows and having multiple orders due to swatches. I say BU are cheaper than psychotherapy!!!

Just worked out that the Guerlain holiday eyeshadow quad contains almost twice as much eyeshadows than the Mac eyeshadow palettes for just £5. Just saying...

.maybe you are not used to see yourself with a dark lippie. i was really afraid of nude lips but know that i tried pure zen and it looks ok, i can use gaga 2 which i hated on me. it somehow looks ok now.
