I can't decide whether to get Absolute Power or wait for Ronnie Red. I know they're not the same, but I think I only need one matte red (heresy, I know!) Ronnie Red is a bit brighter/bluer, right?

It does look like Ronnie Red is brighter and bluer. I have AP and love it but, I'm looking for a darker, blue red liner to wear with it. I ordered Ronnie Red yesterday and I think I will love it even more than AP. I think you should get them both.

I just got a Strong Woman for my mum. She loves Violetta so I'm hoping she'll like SW too.

I still can't decide if I should get her Absolute Power too. She loves her reds but she's not too keen on matte lippies (she's more of a Satin and Amplified person)

I think its sweet that you ladies share the MAC goodness.

you sure did!! boy was i surprised to see my picture here haha thanks for sharing!!

I've watched some of your videos on YouTube. It's great to have you join Specktra!

I finally made my way to the store to return Warm Companion lipstick from Apres Chic. I wanted to exchange it for the All Woman quad (so I could feel like I only paid $25 for it), but thought for sure it had sold out by now. I asked the MUA if they had it in stock and she told me they sold out. Then she said to wait so she could check to make sure. Sure enough, she found one. We were both shocked. I'm going to attempt the eye look Monsy created with it.

Hi guys!! I wasn't on this forum for a bit as I tried to stay away from buying make up since we bought a house and it needs renovating, but I couldn't resist this one!! So excited to get Strong woman l/s and taupe shape blush

It's too good not to be shared! There are quite a few lippies that mum and I both have and we occasionally wear the same colour when we're going somewhere together. Mother-daughter bonding

Maybe NYX Toast?

yes, they are very similiar... I used to have a swatch...

Argghh, I have AP and I love love love it and am telling myself I don't need Ronnie Red because of that, but your recommendation is not helping my already sad willpower.

I... will swatch it and see what happens. Yeah, that's it. I'll sensibly swatch RR and not outright buy it...

I wouldn't get RR unless you know you're gonna use AP a lot. They look exactly the same. RR could be a backup once your AP runs out.

I don't think I'll be getting my Firm Form

I ordered yesterday and stupidly just chose standard shipping instead of next day/named day. Now it's sold out and I know they deal with priority shipping orders first so I will probably miss out. This has happened every time I've used regular shipping on an LE collection - I don't know why I did it again!!

Oh well - If I don't get it in the post then I can just go to a counter next week I suppose.

There's a good chance you'll still get it. In case you don't, I have an extra.

Thanks for the heads up, ordered both

 

[BuickMackane]

That's a shame

I was under the impression that Strength was online only. At least it is in the Netherlands (and in the US, to the best of my knowledge). So in the UK you have in store too?

 

[BuickMackane]

Did anyone get BUs of Taupe Shape? I'm considering getting a BU but I can't decide if it's worth it. Aaaargh! It'll be long gone by the time I make up my mind.
