I must say, I kinda missed the old bag with the cigarI don't want to say what I am about to say: I have been bored by MAC for the longest time. zzzzzzzzz.. maybe I am too jaded or my interest is going in different directions.
this RiRi Woo collection is another misnomer.. sadly we all buy into hype. Nothing new or noteworthy in either colours or textures.
sorry for the downer.

Thanks again Elegant!There's a whole thread about NARS Light Reflecting Powder. The short answer is that it's magic.

I dont have it but based on the pic and swatches we have seen of HK, Im really disappointed in that blush duo compact. It is nowehere near friendly for darker WOC. Even if they had to, they should have made two compacts.. one suitable for lighter skintones and one suitable for darker skintones.

This thread just make for a good after work de-stressing read
Forget about book club (which I do hoard during their summertime sale, B1, get all others 50%)
I am a proud guilt -free back up heaux
Juice on sale, it is hot as hell in Florida in the summer, B1G1 free I am all over it!
I have too many struggling friends and family members for us all not to help each other out
Victoria Secret sale 75% off, $3.50 for a body wash, can't beat that. I have enough to last me till next sale plus give aways, (and yes, I shower a lot, its hot here!!!)
"Oh, you going to Jamaica? I am broke right now but take this for my sister, my cousins, my aunts, my grandmother".
Forget all the males, I am gonna shop in my stash and make some female folks really happy!!!
"Mom, you really want this lipgloss? Ok, fine, here is an extra Restless. Leave me alone now!" lol
There is a new Mac collection out and I am broke so I am going to re-invest from my stash to get from the new collection.....back-ups
I am not going to beg, borrow or steal but I am gonna hustle legally
My hairdresser just hooked up my weave real good and I want to be extra nice to her, "Here's an BNIB eyeshadow"
So many times items are not best suited for my skintone so when something does and is really flattering, I do want multiples.
(when I love, I love hard)
I recall a sales associate telling me about a collection during which Mac suffered a significant loss hence the cut back on mass producing
I saw a guy returning a ton of Extra Dimension stuff for his wife that I know cost a ton and will be wasted
Knowing what appeal to you and what works for you and your love ones I think is the key.
I am willing to skip collections that I feel is not suited for me and others are able to overindulge
When I am ready to overindulge, leave me the hell alone!!!
Judging, pointing fingers and criticizing others should not be in the make-up equation IMO
BTW, I left everything in this collection for everyone who can to enjoy . I will wait my turn in fall for some lipglosses and cream color base etc hopefully.

Seriously MAC is really ridiculous with this launch, if people who are not IT specialists can go onto the website and find the product and order that isn't their fault that's a tech problem on their end

Just checked my email, and my RiRi stuff has shipped, but my AAO is BACKORDERED... supposedly shipping within 2 weeks
It wasn't backordered or soldout when I placed my order that morning... kinda irritated because I canceled my Nordstroms order that would have shipped at the top of next week since MAC had it instock to ship now. I swear, for the amount of money people spend on their products, and the profit they turn, you'd expect them to be able to hire people who were much more proficient at their jobs so that these issues aren't so frequent/bad. Or at least have people on staff who have enough foresight to understand the type of chaos these releases bring and make sure that their end is covered (i.e- servers that can handle the traffic, enough stock, CSRs that can offer more than an "I don't know," etc). Oh well, here's hoping I get my 1 LONELY Sushi Kiss order.

At first it looks like a red, but it's a very different red because it does have a berry tone,...think like a deep raspberry kind of thing.I think I may like it even more than RRW!
EDIT: so I googled deep raspberry and thats more purple, so think rasberry and then a little darker lol!
I posted the swatch of the three lipstick in the gallery and the swatch thread, and heaux shows up very accurately there.
ALSO, if you liked her the riri woo BOY swatch she has, also consider mac pro longwear lipstick in unlimited, it's got that really similar dusty undertone but perhaps a little more pink (at least from what I see on my screen)..It's my go to pretty lipstick I can count on if I don't know what to wear on my lips!

Thanks! I do really like how Heaux looks. I love Rebel, but it still isn't as berry-ish as I'd like. It leans just a little too pink on me so I have to use a lipliner like Vino underneath to get the berry that I want. I don't have RRW but I still don't know if I'll purchase that one. My HG red is Deeply Adored, until I find a dupe for that I'll probably pass on reds as it's the only one I've ever tried (okay, I've only tried a few) that I absolutely love on me. Next time I'm near a counter I'll check out Unlimited -- I live 2-3hrs from one so it's a bit difficult for me to do so, but I'll write it down so I don't forget. Appreciate the tip!

I like the Jose's Columbia Supremo ground coffee I get from Costco, great flavor and really smooth. But my favorite is the chicory coffee I get at the Palace in Santa Barbara... absolutely amazing!
