I want all the lip products, except for the black lipstick. I have the MUFE one and don't wear it much (read: at all)




Sod it, I want the black lippie too! It'll feel unloved and left out. I can't have that on my conscience!

OK NO MORE NEED FOR BOOB TALK (although I sure could add a few giant boob sagas of my own here) PUNK COUTURE INFO IS GO.

All right, I got to see swatches and descriptions of the collection today. Strap yourselves in before proceeding. No arms or legs out of the compartment at all times.

THERE ARE TWO PURPLE LIPSTICKS IN THIS COLLECTION. Plus the black and the red.

Yes, that's right. There are two. One is straight up grape purple. Not blue violet, but not reddish or magenta-ish or any of that sh-t. GRAPE. It's just insanely beautiful. Then, there is a more red purple. It's still 100% purple. It's less red than something like Strong Woman, and it's not like Violetta at all. It's basically the color Heroine would be if it was brighter and clearer and a little less dark. Also, possibly a teeny bit more purple than even Heroine. This one is called Instigator, which I remembered because I think that's a very cool name. I'd call it what Heroine looks like in the tube. The other purple (forgetting the name) is so beautiful too. Again, these are nice clear colors that are rich and deep, but not dark only because someone put a ton of black into the pigment mix. They are deep due to beautifulness and careful color mix, not due to a bunch of black. Very vibrant. All these instagram photos basically make them all look like poo poo caca doo doo compared to the paper swatches, so prepare your wallets big time.

Both purples and the red are retro mattes. The black is listed as retro matte in the book, but they just got a memo from upstairs saying it's actually going to be a matte. I was delighted to hear this, because a matte black will be infinitely more modern and awesome to an old 80's/90's gal like me than a retro matte black, which would be way too flat and heavy. The red, btw, is really gorgeous and again, is not so blackened as all these photos might lead us to believe. It's not a brown or wine base like FOD and it's not purplish or berry like TTT. It is RED. It's a clearer neutral red than Absolute Power. We honestly have seen a lot of reds but this one isn't like any of them - not blue based like Runaway Red, not bright and pink like Ronnie Red. More glowing and bright and rich than Deeply Adored or Charmed I'm Sure, which are much more retro style, classic reds than this one. I can't wait to try it on my lips. It will be very intense.

The black is looking great too - it's not too warm, but it doesn't pull blue either. Just straight neutral black. Very thrilled.

There are 3 cremesheen glasses. They're all less sheer than the glimmer glasses from Style Black but two are similar - there's a sheerish black with subtle pink sparkle, a sheer-ish black with I want to say silver sparkle (but it might have been gold and I'm spazzing out - I'm 85% sure it was silver) and a non-sparkly, much more opaque straight black (MAJOR LOVE THERE). The sheer ones are on the sheer side for csg, but still not quite as sheer as the glimmerglasses.

There are also 3 pigments - one perm one that's escaping me right now, Magenta Madness is back and then there's a new one that's described as a flat, bright chartreuse. That is going to be awesome. There were a couple more descriptors for the chartreuse one (matte? yellow?) I can't quite recall, but yeah, we're in business.

There's also a quad that's made up of some semi-beloved repromotes plus carbon, lol; all in the smokey purple zone. Maybe there was one color that wasn't a repromote. Idol Eyes is in there and also Magic Moor.

It's out the 26th. Serious LOVE. We were tripping out in a huge way.

Wow, everybody - I just want to thank everyone for the thanks.

I'm astounded at the gigantic response to the info!

MAC better be ready for the insanity this collection is going to be. Style Black wasn't this crazed, was it?

Here's to this pushing MAC to push the envelop a little more on a regular basis - people obviously want these statement colors, even if they're not the sort of thing folks wear on a day to day basis. If it's a huge hit even in generally conservative locations, I say bring on the blue and green lipstick while we're at it!

Let me find out... It's on like popcorn if I EVER catch MAC with a dark grass green, or an almost navy blue lipstick...
