I've been sleeping all day because last night I was up until 4:00am waiting for the lippie and nothing. Words fail me to describe how mad I am at Mac right now. Mac...

Ok. I'm more of a subtle lipstick kind of girl but I've tried to branch out and recently bought Riri Woo and Flat out Fabulous from the Retro Matte collection. I'm kind of regretting FOF since I never wear it. I've been stalking with you guys but am still not sure if I want to get it. I have no purple l/s and passed on Private Party from the Divine Night collection because I felt like it was too dark. I guess I'm looking to be enabled. Does it look good on all skin tones? For reference I have light brown hair and blue/green eyes and am NW20.

Are you regretting FOF because of how bright it is? Heroine is purple so its very in your face, and may not be worth buying it without trying it on, if you like more traditional colours.

I'd go and try a bright purple from the drug store, maybe the maybelline vivids LE purples, and see how you like that? Looks like there's some time to figure it since Heroine has been postponed.


THEORY:

I've been on Speckta since early last year, and collections always (from my memory at least) launch in store on Thursdays.I know online launches are usually on the Tuesday, but since this isn't a collection maybe it could be coming on Thursday? (Wishful thinking perhaps haha)

Sooooo... No Heroine, huh? This lipstick is like the Detox album or the Fugees reunion-a fantasy that will never be. Smdh. Meanwhile, that RiRi homepage on MAC made my eyelids twitch. Back to the Sephora thread I go!

Perm additions like this don't occur on Thursdays like collection launches. When CYY was added to the perm line, it was a random tuesday or wednesday as well. I just think this is the usual MAC clusterfuck and they don't know what day they wanna launch it on, and it'll just happen when it happens. :dunno:

I agree try the brazen berry from maybelline vivids or try to get your hands on the fall LE lipsticks like what @purplevines said and see what you think of it. I'm a NW 45 and it's very nice and opaque for me.

Agreed, Brazen Berry is a great lippy. It's very opaque and has good wear, I just don't use it often because I don't like the smell.

Glad I'm not the only one. The taste and smell kill it for me. I had to return Brazen Berry, which is a shame. It's such a pretty color.

Those and the Milani lipsticks I can't stomach. The Milani have a great formula, but that weird watermelony scent makes me
