Pantone's 2014 Colour of the Year... RADIANT ORCHID

[Spikesmom]

2014 is going to be all purple eyeshadows, lipsticks, and berry blushes! I love this!

That would be nice. We didn't get a nice bright emerald green e/s this year though (someone correct me if I'm wrong). Who knows if MAC takes this into consideration or not!

That's great...seeing that I love purple & all shades lipstick in that family minus plum lipsticks.

This color has really become one of my favorites over the last year so I'm really excited that it's the next color of the year!

Hello guys I think the color is gorgeous. Although I also like darker purples and plums. I guess that's why Mac did bring back their Heroine lipstick as permanent

Here are 2 shiseido glosses of the shade. http://www.britishbeautyblogger.com/2013/12/shiseido-lacquer-gloss-2014-swatches.html

MissQQ.. so nice to see you!

I love the new Radiant orchid. I have a few lippies in this shade: BB Lilac is one of them and a big staple for me, as well as a few from Catrice and even Revlon.

I think it's a better colour than the orange or greens.. it suits more complexions/hair colours.

In keeping with my colour obsession, I checked my stash for a true Radiant Orchid shade and found one: MAC Gladiola ls (from Dame Edna). it is gorgeously radiant but also horribly discontinued.


I can probably mix up a few shades and pot them which is what I will do.. results to follow.

Yes to all of these, please! MAC needed to repromote Gladiola like yesterday.

I'd forgotten about that one! The lipsticks from that collection were excellent. I made myself not buy anything from it at the time, so I do hope they bring back Gladiola, because it's just a perfect match for Radiant Orchid. And hey, they brought back Kanga-Rouge before...

 

[Miss QQ]

Me too, I made myself not buy anything from Dame Edna! Probably because I was buying too much MAC at that time. I want the lipsticks from that collection, and if they bring back Gladiola I would totally jump on it. Fingers crossed! I have Petals and Peacocks but I think it is more purple and less pink.

MsQQ ..

I bought all the colours from D.Edna.. lol. The Gladiola is matte as was the Coral Polyp.

I also have the Petals and Peacocks.. took a pick but pic looks a bit dark but the best so far is Gladiola! P&P is a bit more purple.

Your manicure is beautiful! Is Gladiola on your finger at the top?

Anyone else order the lipstick? I got an email about it being available early for VIB Rouge members and jumped on it. This came at a good time because I had a $5 credit from Sephora because they messed up my last order.

I just missed it. Did not get the e-mail and by the time I heard about it it must have been going fast. I got it in my cart, and it was gone before I could check out. Happened twice. I got the option to ask for an e-mail when it comes back in stock, so I will wait and see. In the meantime, I am shopping my stash.

That went pretty fast and probably explains why it took an hour to get my order confirmation. Sephora usually sends it right away... probably checking to see if I placed my order before they ran out. Good luck on getting it the next round!

Thank you - I really want it for the matte finish. I don't have this shade in a matte. I would love it. Hope you enjoy yours!

Ty MissQQ.. I am finally able to have longer nails.. lol.

Gladiola is on the bottom finger -- (should have posted). It is more matte and pinker (color on white is furthest to right). The PPeacocks is on the left side of white paper and on the upper finger - it has more of a sheen.

Purple is my fave colour so naturally I am psyched. I'm all about purple makeup especially so I'm gonna have a field "year" with this one. wootwooooot
