hmmm... we're going to have to find it for you. LOL

You might have other deep colors in your stash to go with BS, but just in case I checked the MAC web site & it is available. I had forgotten that it was from Glamourdaze---feels like that was years ago but not so.

Man, I was trying so hard to resist that quad, but i walked all around Sephora the other day, and there is no purple like that blurple in there.

Now I just have to continue to ignore the pigments.

Yay lilinah

I hope you're loving everything. About the piggies-----

I can't believe i did it, but...

I was in Nordstrom yesterday to get some things at the NARS counter, and i couldn't resist checking out the MAC counter. And then (gulp) i picked up Veronica's Blush Pearlmatte and Cheers My Dear Pigment. They were sold out of Lucky In Love or i'd probably have caved and gotten it, too.

The way i justify it:

1. From the one photo i've seen of a Pearlmatte in the Baking Beauties collection coming out in April, i think VB is different enough that it won't be redundant when i get the two BB Pearlmattes.

2. I loved CMD since i first swatched it weeks before AG went on-line, but i was holding out, 'cuz piggies are expensive, and they go such a long way. But it's a color i will wear on my eyes... and then i began thinking about dusting it on cheeks, and putting it on lips, and sprinkling it on my breakfast cereal, and... OK, not on my cereal...

you light it better than chanel poudre? why? ok, I'm really going to ignore this. I can't afford it. I'm not even going to look at it. ~shuts eyes real tight~

Yes I do because MDB is a deeper champagne color which I find more flattering on me than Poudre. Also, it reminds me of my all-time favorite, Els Modern Mercury. In fact, I call it Modern Mercury with shimmer. MM is the smoothest of all, in terms of formula.

Spoiled Rich looks amazing on you. I love this palette also!

Thanks! I love it so much!!

 

[KelseeBrianaJai]

Love your look in this vid. Wish I can get the BB and DLG lippies.

Let's cross our fingers for a restock!

 

[xelamazing]

Loving DLG on you!

DLG is a fave of mine as well. I was tempted by Oh, Oh, Oh but I skipped. What does it come off looking like on your lips?

This is about how Oh, Oh, Oh looks on me. I had to take this picture in terrible lighting, so the color is a little off, but it's mostly accurate.

Question. Does anyone have YOTS Shell Pearl Beauty Powder? I have MSF Stereo Rose, Flatter Me PM and ordered Veronica's Blush PM. Would it be worth it to get the Shell Pearl Beauty powder for NC50? T say's it'll be ashy, but she said that about Flatter Me & I love love love FM.

TIA

I have SR and SP and those are nothing alike. VB is pink so not in the same colour family. I need to get my hands on FM so I can't compare them but I have a feeling they are different too...

You guys are too sweet! Thank you all so much for your lovely comments!

Oh, Oh, Oh looks very pretty on you! The gold shimmer is really gorgeous!

go to that thread and look for swatches.

I stopped taking T's advice years ago. I wouldn't have tried half theproducts I have if I listened to her. Remember its just her opinion. you have to see what you like on you.

 

[mymacaddiction]

I've read so many not-so-favorable reviews of Spoiled Rich that I had almost talked myself out of buying it. Seeing how happy everyone is with it, I think I've changed my mind. Anyone have a free 2 day shipping code?!

 

[NATlar]

[COLOR=0000FF]Have fun hauling!!  I hope you get everything that you want. [/COLOR]:cheer:

Thank You I think I actually will get all I've listed I'm eyeing the site like a hawk don't think it releases till the 20th because it's not up now well I'm hoping it releases then so i can get next day delivery in time before I go away Friday as I want to take a few of the things I get with me.

I feel the exact same way about boyfriend stealer. I called it plum, but it is a really pretty deep purple. this color is gorgeous and I'm so glad it's one I can just throw on when I want. I didn't get FOF... hmmm... should I? hopefully it is sold out. LOL
My simple toned down look with this was hot Sunday. LOL

I agree with Medgal on this. If you already have a deep purple l/g, then I'm sure that would look beautiful with Boyfriend Stealer. If you don't have anything like that in your collection though, FoF is one of my favorite l/gs... not to enable or anything

 

[NATlar]

I like boyfriend stealer a lot but some of the pictures I've seen of girls with a nc15 complexion wearing the lipstick it looks awful and i think hmm im going to pass because it looks like their lips are cold looking but then I gather to stop it looking that way you add it with a lip liner. I just don't know if it's a get or miss with me, think ill check it out when it's in the store.

 

[Lipstickdiva420]

I seriously need to play with all of my archie's makeup but haven't gotten a chance to yet. Ronnie Red is sooooooo pretty it's a must and to me it looks a little different to absolute power. So glad i got it.

 

[martiangurll]

Well, you ladies didn't talk me down, so I ended up with one (RR). Too bad I missed the restock on the brushes. On the other hand, it was a mercy for the wallet. Even if RR is the EXACT same as MAC Red, I am telling myself it was good to get b/c the finish is probably exquisite, right?

Now talk me down from DLG, because I do not need another fuchsia lippy in my life.

 

[ChosenOne]

I just don't know if it's a get or miss with me, think ill check it out when it's in the store. Not sure if this helps at all, but I'm NC20/25 and I love that lippie! For me, the paler a purple l/s is, the "colder" my lips look, but the deeper shades work beautifully. Of course it's completely subjective, so definitely check it out in store if you're debating it. Just make sure you get there early so that if you fall in love with it, it doesn't sell out before you get there!

I'm a fuchsia-lippie hoarder myself, but I passed on DLG and strangely have not regretted it (yet). It's quite similar to Outrageously Fun and Night Blooming, maybe a hybrid of the two, and since I have both of those lipsticks, I passed on DLG.

Thanks hun, definitely will check it out as I do love vampy lips or I might just take a chance on it and purchase it online. Usually when a collection is out in store I'm there 10 minutes before they open haha! Do you wear it alone or with a lipliner? I have quite a few dark lipliners it could work with I think Vino, Nightmoth and Burgendy.

 

[LoveSpree]

I'm totally considering buying BU's of Flatter Me & Veronica's Blush while they are still up on Nordies but I am broke! ... I don't want to regret it later though ... Argh!
