DID SOMEBODY SAY TRAIN BLEU :eyelove:

Pretty!

 

[vanessas82]

I'm thinking I need TB now!!

 

[bluelitzer]

KIKI KONTOUR you look lovely!

Originally, I wanted all four of these. Now, I'm hoping bloggers get samples. I really want to see how Instigator compares to Strong Woman and heroine. Also, how Studded Kiss compares to other reds that I may already have in my stash (MAC Red especially). Even Hautecore, I wonder how it compares to Midnight Media.

I'm getting Punk Couture no matter what. I don't think I have anything that comes close.

I think matte lipsticks are no fad, since they've been pretty popular for the past 20 years or so

I have four boxes of lipsticks, glosses, and liners, and TWO of them are purples.

[@]mosha010[/@] how do you like TB? Not that I need any more validation of it's beauty but just curious since I've yet to read a bad review on it.

@macgirl006 : ok. It is as drying as you can imagine a matte to be: noticed no difference in texture from the retro mattes. So if you're used to it and know how to prepare: exfoliate, moisturizer, prime ur lips etc then you should be fine. I noticed on the second day of wear that the staying power is not as good as I'm used to with MACs mattes. I can eat and drink and kiss away (lol) and my lips are mostly put. TB rubbed off more than what I'm used to. Could be I needed to blot or maybe I used a lot of it who knows. The color is amazing but I felt I needed to line it with something darker because my lips tend to be very pink on their own (you'll see the pics) but that could be just me. I liked it over all, I'm just married to mac and can't avoid comparing...

and pardon the messy hair lol its the end of a long day and a long week at work!

 

[Jennifae]

I went from just 2-3 lipsticks to ALL FOUR!

 

[miss0annette]

I think I want studded kiss now. But how does it compare to other reds? I don't need anymore red lippies.

LOL, really? I don't know why I have so many, I think the various shades of purple complement my skin quite well, while other colours like red, pink, orange, etc. look HORRID on me.

You ALWAYS need more red lippies

[COLOR=6600CC]Loving that shade of purple. I wonder if it's from this collection, maybe an upcoming one or not even a MAC lipstick. Do we know?[/COLOR]

I saw this pic on Pintrest months ago, I think it's either Nars Train Bleu or Tom Ford Bruised Plum.

NARS Train Bleu is very close to MAC Smoked Purple. From the photos, Bruised Plum looks redder. So it could be Train Bleu... which i just picked in the sephora sale - and got compliments wearing it within an hour or so.

Sorry, Specktra was acting weird...
