Ugh! I'm low on funds too. I want to haul from this collection, Pressed Pigments, Chanel and Guerlain. I can't make a decision just yet. I do have gift cards from Macy's and Nordstrom that I managed to hold onto since last Christmas. I hope nothing sells out on me while I'm thinking it over.
Apres Chic is not at all like Hibiscus or Fire Sign. Fire Sign is more sheer compared to AC. Hibiscus is a coral-orange-red. AC is definitely more opaque and a brick red. The swatches that were posted of AC make it look sheer, but it's not (at least not on me). It's so pretty though. And Hot Chocolate wasn't grey. It was more pink-brown with maybe a hint of plum.
Wha-huh? A more mauve Glamourdaze you say? Then I'm getting a BU for sure.
I hope you can get what you want.
hmmm that's tricky for me. GD was so plain on me. I wonder if this is what I needed?
I love Glamourdaze; it's become one of my favourite lippies. I wear it all the time. Your description is precisely what I was hoping Hot Chocolate would be. I just hope it's not too grey for me.
So sorry to hear this news. This is very good advice.
Can you post the link please??
The link is above it was posted earlier. Go to the end of the video. That is when Nikki has her swatch of hot chocolate also strong woman which is not the same as heroine even on darker skin tones.
I am so sorry to hear about your father. I hope you enjoy every minute you are able to spend with him.
GD was pretty plain on me too - I didn't buy it. Hot Chocolate's a much more interesting color. It'll certainly look different on different people. It's not a "normal" color, though. It's definitely the most unusual lipstick in the collection. I didn't think it was too brown or too grey to be hard to wear, but it's not a standard lipstick shade. It's the definition of TAUPE. I don't think this is one people should buy before they try unless they're fearless or remember the 90's, hehe. Worse case scenario, it ought to get more mauve-y if worn over a lip pencil like Just Wonderful, from Tour de Fabulous or more pink over Dervish or the like.
This is what I wanted to hear. I can't wait to try Hot Chocolate!
It'll look great with that Notorious blush of yoursmmmm just reading about Hot Chocolate ls
And, I bet Chanel brings Notorious back. I guess there are a few out there somewhere.
Maybe it'll look a little more mauvey on you, or more rosy. Some warm natural/nude blush will look great with it too. You got Haute Altitude too, right? You're going to be in love with that oneWell, my lips are so purpley pigmented that they add a bit of color to lipsticks so it will be interesting to see how HC looks like on me. I'm sure mac made TS the perfect color for its intended use
As soon as I saw the 90's reference in your earlier review, HC went to the top of my list. Can't wait to experiment.
why do you think ts will be better. you're gonna make me upset I didn't get it. LOLIt'll look great with that Notorious blush of yours(still sorry I missed out on checking it out, but Taupe Shape probably would be the better taupe for me anyhow, so I am not too)
