That sux if its true. I missed out on it and am kinda bummed. Hopefully they'll still restock.

I wasn't going to order from MAC UK, but I received my new prepaid credit card a few days ago and when you wire money it is immediately there. So when I saw AG coming online I made a fast judgement call.

I remember saying I would be satisfied with FM pm buuuut after all the swatches I got:

Flatter Me pearlmatte
Veronica's Blush pearlmatte
Prom Princess blush
Spoiled Rich quad
Betty Bright lipstick
Daddy's little Girl lipstick

aaaaand I kinda regretted not ordering Ronnie Red (but I've got a gazillion reds, including MAC red, hangs head in shame...) and perhaps Boyfriend Stealer. I am also eyeing some glosses (Kiss and Don't tell, Mall Madness, Strawberry Malt), but I am usually not a gloss person. I only reach for Star Quality on a "regular basis". Sigh... I am proud of myself for skipping Cream Soda, because I already have Legendary, IF, Melba etcetera... Plus... I really want Taj Mahal blush and some other Nars blushes...

I managed to buy cream soda blush today as I planned, and I also have made an impulse buy to get free shipping lol it ended up being a gloss, I had less than 5 minutes before my break finished so I had to act fast lol

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 have too many reds to get a bu lol, but I do love RR and to think I was going to skip it because I already had AP. I just tried seductive intent last night because I finally got my order from nordstrom. SI is so pretty that I gave up SW since I didn't like it so much.

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

To exfoliate your lips, mix ordinary granulated sugar with just enough of a nice oil - olive is good for skin, but some people don't like the taste - coconut - jojoba - to moisten the sugar - it shouldn't be liquid. Then rub your lips with it well, but not harshly. Then wipe it off. That should help.

Also, using a lip primer, such as MAC Prep + Prime Lip, helps.

Um, I cannot find the DLG I bought and I am losing it (I am having a crisis about possible memory lapse); seems like it is sold out everywhere, right?
ARRGHH what is happening whyyyy meeeeeee

You can never trust that. They say no, but if they get enough stock returns from stores that don't sell all the product, they will restock, it happens. It could go either way.

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

It is! On me it looks like more like a fuschia,redish pink. I absolutely ADORE this lipstick! And it's matte. My favorite finish

Thank You So Much pandav!

 

[ocean286]

Cream Soda looks amazing on you!

Thanks cocofiere! I love it to pieces! It's such a pretty apricot color on my cheeks. And mixed together with my natural redness it looks like a
soft peachy pink on my skin. It's very flattering on!

 

[ocean286]

You look so adorable!!! I love both combos!

LOL!!! I loved both combos! I'll be rocking these looks a lot into Spring and Summer!

Thanks for the compliment peachsuns!

[COLOR=0000FF]I'm a real depotter, but I can't bring myself to depot either of these.  What happens later remains to be seen. [/COLOR]:haha: [COLOR=0000FF] For now they'll remain intact.[/COLOR]

Wow!

 

[mymacaddiction]

I have looked everywhere in a 50 mile radius for flatter me and DLG. If anyone ends up with an extra, I'd love to take it off your hands. I did get the spoiled rich quad yesterday and OMG. I love these colors! They are so pigmented. I am surprised by all the hate in the blogsphere for this quad.

Have the stores restocked yet? If not, will they? They should.

They are all hoping to restock, but aren't sure what or how many they are getting. At least that is what they told me.

I guess you should keep calling. I'm sure you're not the only one.

 

[elegant-one]

This happens to me about once a week LOL. Its called too much makeup, can't keep track. But, you'll probably find it in a few weeks in your purse, your desk, on the floor in your closet, somewhere

yep, same thing happens to me all the time. I go crazy looking through drawers, purses, pockets. Then when I finally find it, its like ding ding ding...yeah, thats where I put it

 

[elegant-one]

I'm prolly late to the party on this thought, but if you had a hard time wearing GND, try it with Mall Madness gloss over top

 

[joanita]

I need help, what can I do with cream soda? Its too light. Is it possible to use it as a all over powder, that's how light it is it looks like a peachy face powder.

 

[VampyCouture]

Totally agree!!!!!
Its beautiful! Hoe you love it on.

Yes, this is a common symptom for TMMCKT. Cure: go about your daily makeup loving life and wait for it to pop up out of nowhere....okay, I am retiring these medical terms w/ risk of sounding like WebMD. My brain is already starting to hurt

My backup of Strawberry Malt came today! Gosh, this gloss is so gorgeous. It is a total boy magnet too. I wore it over Cherry l/l and at lunch, my guy friend said, "your face looks really nice today" and the only thing I had on was MSFN powder, mascara and a light sweep on my brows. Then I went to pick up a prescription at CVS and the guy at the counter was like, "I like your lips". (Oh, guy lingo!) On a normal day, I would take a step back, but I wasn't creeped out in the least.

to you Mac!
