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.  

Yes I just tried my RR on and I LOvE it so much more than AP. if they do a restock I may need a BU

Okay, this is a late reply, but it is a reply.  The mirror comes in a faux leather "sleave" and not a box.  But they are both heart shaped and really, really cute. Me too.  I went back and did about six different hauls.  (hanging head in shame) That's only if I develop selective amnesia for the MM collection.  Otherwise, there have been many, many money holes in the wallet.  (and we are not even gonna think about April!)  p: 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. 

funny you say that because I sooo wanted DLG too but I wore my Girl About Town today and to me they are pretty similar, not to mention I have Seductive Intent and Night Blooming too. I would love to get my hands on a brush set though.

I had the same issue and it's a must to exfoliate with this lipstick before wearing. I also used a brush to apply it and it helps with smoothing it out. Trying it with a liner worked for me too...I hope i was helpful

 

[KaysWays]

my items came today, so excited!i'm on vacation next week so I'll have lots pf playtime. Also will be stopping a couple of stores in the city to see if I can find BB and DLG

So I was looking on IG for pics of WOC with the pearlmattes. I see none w Veronica's blush (which I was leaning towards) but some withFlatter Me that doesn't really show up. What do you ladies recommend? I am NW45

Exfoliate your lips with an old toothbrush, AFTER you're done brushing your teeth. Or use a washcloth at the end of your shower. Do this daily. Apply a lip conditioner and let it sit for atleast 5 minutes before applying BB. Blot the lip conditioner off, line your lips (if desired), then apply BB.

If I apply it "dry" (without MM shine or P+P Skin Smother) I pick up a bit with the 224 brush and dab it on my cheeks.Then I take a blush brush to work it into my skin. The 109 works great for me.I do mostly pick up a blush (or BP,MB) before working it in because I like the mix of CmD + blush (BP,MB). I hope this is understandable

Thanks, I am going to try this once I get my hands on CMD! All my other pigments aren't the right color for cheeks so I never thought of this.

 

[MACina]

You are welcome!

I did not mention it because it is d/c, but the 162 is a nice brush to work the pigment into your skin too.
If you happen to have this brush you might try it as well.

I don't think I'm going to catch up...

Anyhow, just placed an order for mostly Betty's items (Betty Bright & Kiss&Don't Tell, Lucky in Love, Cream Soda, the PM, and the palette) and DLG from Veronica's side.

I'm going to get the CC polish and check out the red lip stuff & Veronica's face products later.

I stopped by MAC yesterday and surprisingly most of the B&V face stuff was still in stock with testers on display so I swatched Prom Princess. WHY DID I DO THAT?!?! I'm supposed to be done with this collection and now it's haunting (taunting?) me!

RR looks so pretty on you...Amazing, how it looks so different on different skin tones.

Me with Ronnie Red and Prom Princess on my cheeks. I LOVE this color combination!!!
