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.

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!

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.

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
lol.gif
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

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

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.

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.
