KrystalAnne, I love every one of these lipsticks on you. So, so pretty

. Glad you're having fun with your AGs picks!
Here are BB, DLG, &RR. On top of BB I'm wearing Chanel's Candeur to soften the color a bit. I loved how that came out. They're all winners in my book. I also have Prom Princess and Veronica's Blush. I've been having a lot of fun with this collection and although I spent too much, I don't regret any purchases.

If anyone hasn't and you have BB as well as the first Nicki Minaj lipstick would you take a picture of the swatch next to Betty Bright please?

same here...almost burnt orange!
That is weird. I have to apply Cream Soda fairly heavily for it to show and it looks just like my normal application of Melba. It must have something to do with my undertones or the natural redness in my cheeks (although I applied both directly after my new HG foundation, Redness Solutions by Clinique). It's funny how different colours look on different people.

Valentine's Day would be a good day for them to restock.
I was thinking the same thing. Can anyone tell me if Ronnie Red has a dupe in the permanent items or if it is really different from MAC Red and Runaway Red? Swatches would be great too, but I just want a comparison to tell me if I should hunt down RR because it just looks so pretty on everyone but I have about 8 just plain red lipsticks...MAC alone and I am not counting mattenes or glosses/kissable colors.

I'm going to my MAC event today at Macys. Yay for makeovers. Hubs and I went to dinner last night so tonight is going to be a nice calm evening. :)

Mac stores are expecting a small restock today for most of the make-over events planned for this weekend. I found that out yesterday when I had called to cancel my scheduled event for tomorrow due to work (plus I think I got just about everything I had wanted and them some)

Flatter Me Pearlmatte is basically extinct in my area. If anyone has to chance to get it do so now!!!
I got mine on launch day however everywhere seems to have the Veronica's Blush but no Flatter Me

I plan on trying Cheers My Dear Pigment with Impossibly Sweet Lipgloss as well as with Pleasure Principle
(so intriguing reading up on pigment uses, application etc)
I wore Rose pigment (not from this collection) yesterday and I absolutely love it (duochrome)

Lost self control and put my Nordies note towards the Spoiled Rich Quad.
Normally I don't get quads and the only other one I have is On the Hunt

Not sure. I was never a "gloss girl". Other than a few gloss pots in the ?80s? (i hated sticking my finger into them), i didn't get any lip glosses until fairly recently, over the past 3-1/2 years or so.

MAC's all seem a bit sticky to me. But that's so much better than the feel of slime and mucus i got from two CoverGirl ShineBlast Lipglosses which also tasted nasty and the hideous, disgusting, revolting, repulsive, massively artificial fruit and candy smells and flavors of two Maybelline ShineSensational Lip Glosses, all of which i tried before MAC. If i wasn't the persistent sort, they'd have put me off lip gloss forever.

I've only tried a few other gloss brands - NARS and Illamasqua - so i am not a good person to make comparisons, unless i do an intentional study. To me they're all stickier than lipstick. Of those i have, i'd say Illamasqua feels the least sticky. Maybe i can do a comparison study next week...
