Thanks dear!!!
No problem--she gets sooooo many tweets. It's wild, really. Hopefully she'll see it. It couldn't hurt for other tweeters to ask too.

Tweet all you want - I don't think that gal would endorse any lipstick unless she was getting paid (not that I can totally blame her - when you're that much of a style influencer and cause a rush on a product, might as well make a little money off of it

It looks like MAC Dramatic Encounter. The colors seems to be wrong on these pics, like they are too cool toned? I wouldn't be surprised if the lipstick she wore is less blue/cool toned irl.

I was especially sad because red-violet and plum lipsticks are easy to find, but it's so hard to find good blue-violet lipsticks.
I haven't forgotten, it was a cold cranky day. It will be colder and crankier tomorrow, but i'll try to take photos.

Unfortunately Ulta doesn't carry the full line. And as someone said, often they've been... uh... tested.

I'm gonna hafta order direct from NYX to get the colors i want.

I usually only go to Ulta when i'm in San Diego, and i won't be going there very often now. There are Ultas around here, but they're either a long drive or a $6 bridge toll or both. Fortunately (or unfortunately) an Ulta will be opening near me soon.

I ordered Smoked Purple, in November, it was out of stock, and it took almost a month to get it.

But I don't know about LE products. Still "backordered" has more hope than "sold out".

Do you think it is Dramatic Encounter ls ???
I don't think so. It's definitely a deep blu based purple. No red whatsoever!

I'm immunocompromised too. Every year i got the flu shot, i got the flu. Every year i don't get the flu shot, i get the flu. I just sit back and wait for when it comes. Nothin i can do really.

i actually just get it like for 2 days after the shot, like i feel bad, but never get to a fever because of it, or calling my doctor or going the hospital.

If they still smell fine, and if they swatch as smoothly as ever, they should be fine.

When some lipsticks are old, they don't smell rancid, but they get hard and won't apply as they should, so that's another way to tell. But it sounds like yours are still ok. If something LE and/or in special packaging goes bad, there may be some collector who would want them, even if they can't wear them.

I throw away the old mascaras and ordinary colored rancid lipsticks. But I have a box of "museumized" makeup, stuff from companies that are no longer around (like Mary Quant and Biba) and some other fun stuff (swirly multi-colored lip glosses in pots from... the 80s?). I've also saved old lipsticks when i wanted to find a dupe, so i could bring them with me to compare.

My Grid and Lust were OK early in 2012, but they finally went bad a month or two ago - and they were from the mid 90s - so they lasted around 15 years. Because of their unusual colors i'm going to "museumize" them.

Yeah the very first shot i got was also the very first time i got the flu. And i got it BAD!!! My system is very compromised, and now that I'm taking chemo too, I'm basically screwed lol. I get the full blown flu every year, along with an upper respiratory infection and loose my voice for a week. Fun times! It should be kicking in within the next month or two...

I finally tried Firm Form today. Love it! Thought I'd include a pic to encourage some others who may still be a little scared. The gold pearl keeps it from looking like Halloween makeup :)
