I think they are pretty close in color. Absolute Power is a tad darker and a little more blue based. Ronnie Red is brighter and has a lot of pink in it. On my NW15 skin it pulls way more pink. It almost looks like a Fucshia Pink on me.

Absolute Power has pink in it as well, but I think on my lips, RR is more pink than AP. In my opinion you don't need both...even though I bought both and didn't need to. Although, if I had to choose one, I would choose AP.

I broke down and bought RR even though I have AP, and I was surprised that they were different. I feel like RR is brighter and more flattering (I think I am NC30 though I don't use MAC foundation so I don't really know).
I used to use MAC foundations but, my skin changed and now they just break me out. But, I justified owning both. On me RR is WAY more bright on my lips than AP.
But, they both have that pinkish undertone:) I'm glad you bought RR! You won't be disappointed! It's a GORGEOUS lipstick!

Well, here it's quite common -_______-
For example we haven't received Love Goddes in the beginning.. or Vintage Grape, really a few Butterfly party pigments... Our web site really sucks, lipsticks are sold out as soon as they are up on the site... bah!

Sounds all too familiar.

I'm glad I didn't want the Pearlmattes anymore, but it still upsets me. I know I would've been super dissappointed if I would've been looking forward to them. I know a lot of people here were excited for them.

"Production difficulties", my ass! (Sorry, quoting's not working.)

So, only GB got the pearlmattes in Europe?!

Crazy, downright crazy... Pure amateurism or am I being too harsh on MAC right now? Geezzz...........
I am glad I ordered from the UK this time...

Yesterday I used Veronica's Blush swiped on with the 167SH and then layered Prom Princess for the extra pop of colour. Gorgeous... I also used the Spoiled Rich quad (wow, good pigmentation!) and Daddy's Little Girl. DLG is pretty but I am not head over heels. It doesn't seem like a truly unique colour to me. It's pretty though...

I only swatched FM on the back of my hand and I can imagine it looking really flattering

However, Yesterday I received Exhibit A, Desire and Zen blushes from NARS and I felt compelled to try the famous Exhibit A today. It is

Today I´ll get Taj Mahal, Amour, Mata Hari and Cactus Flower, so I am going to have to divide my love for these babies. Looking forward to trying FM though (and Taj Mahal).

Germany is not getting the Pearlmattes.

Wtf. I'm glad Flatter Me isn't on my list anymore, I wouldn't be surprised if it's gonna be the same for Holland. The only things that are still on my list are Boyfriend Stealer and Cream Soda. Perhaps waiting is good for me (at least for my wallet lol) because Flatter Me, Daddy's Little Girl and Betty Bright used to be on my list. :lol:

The collection is being released tomorrow, but I won't get to a store until Monday. Do you think I could call them today to ask if they could set apart a Daddy's Little Girl? I've never done this! Haha

I don't think they do that anymore but you can always try.
