Not yet - I am keeping my fingers crossed and trying again tonight. The traffic as SOOO bad yesterday I turned around halfway there.

Totally random, but for these nenw sightings at the CCo's, could they be posted in the threads for the cco's in the respective locations? People won't always think to search for this old thread to find out the latest. http://www.specktra.net/f/247/recent-cco-cosmetic-company-outlet-sightings

I already did that. Just trying to help out people that are still looking for Strength items. Sorry- won't happen again

Oh, no need for apology! I wasn't trying to be rude, I just meant that a lot of folk look at those threads and it's helpful to have the info there. I know the items you were talking about were from this collection, and it's cool. It's just that, for example, if I were not subscribed to this thread I would not have seen the info, and I can imagine the same goes for others. It's just that the CCO threads are a central location for the info.

I always post under the CCO threads first. I'd only posted it here since I saw that others were as well and some were still looking for some of these items- I wanted to make sure that people knew they were available.

I finally wore Absolute Power for the first time Today. I am in love. This is the perfect combination of red/pink for me. It is like my pin up girl red. I don't know why I waited so long and hope MAC brings this back out. Were there any dupes?

Funny. I found AP in my basement last week when rooting around for my items to return. Now I'm not sure if I should try it. I just glanced at Love Goddess this morning and just have no desire to wear that lipstick. Red pink doesn't move me. AP may be wasted on me.

Love Goddess is a lot pinker than AP and LG is also lighter. AP is definitely red, but has a pink undertone. Ronnie Red is closer, but has more of a rose tint to me and is slightly lighter.

~gasp~ It was so pretty though. I felt that LG was pinker, and brighter. I might be mistaken, I'll look and compare tonite for you.

Russian Red? Redder for sure, but blue based...

It's gorgeous indeed, but I don't know of any exact dupes.

I don't know... I'm so far behind in trying my products. LOL I just remember last year being intensely stressful. I also think this came out after my break in and I wanted to throw everything away at that time. Weird I know. I hadn't even tried Strong Woman. I was going through my stuff and realized it was untouched, not even swatched. The red in that one does something funny to my skintone. It is leaning more blue, and makes me look sallow. (I think it's sallow LOL.)

On the bright side now it's like you just got a new lipstick! You are not liking Strong Woman? Maybe a lipliner that is redder underneath could help.

I too have decided I'll be rocking Strong Woman again within the week. One of my favorite lippies and it's not nearly being shown the love it deserves from me!
