Just bought PC from the clearance bin LOL now i can stop complaining! I hope it looks good on me and not too similar to instigator, since my lips are a bit darker.

Depends on your store. I called the day of release and they told me no. I went in on Friday and a different person told me yes. All they had left was SK and I passed. Ended up getting cyber with my recycles.

The clearance bin is the sale/swap thread part of the forum. After you've gained at least 50 posts (unless the number has changed) then you could access it.

Ah, I see. I guess that's why women in my town wear so much red; they're always trying to make a statement lol.

New here on Speckra! & HAD to join bc of this collection! Hahaha
I'm a HUGE fan of purple lippies so I had to snag Punk Couture... I also wanted to pick up Instigator, but decided not to.
I already owned Heroine and I just picked up another Ruby Woo. Lol
I LOVEEE the COLOR Punk Couture, but something is wrong with the pay-off. You obv have to swipe it a few times to get max results. Although it's supposed to be matte, it's much creamier. Its a love/hate relationship. Lol.

Technically you're supposed to be able to if it's in regular black packaging BUT some counters don't honor that. So it just depends in who you ask at that counter. Do a MAC chat and print out the chat to take with you if you want to have proof that you should be able to do it.

I agree when it comes to things like you always want proof. Also full standing stores generally allow more than counters.

Alright. I finally had the chance to play with Punk Couture today. I absolutely LOVE the color!
It's like a darker matte version of my beloved YSL
N°39 Pourpre Divin. I tried it with 5 lip pencils.
Hi-Def Cyan = Just for the fun of it. The blue color creates a cool effect.
NYX Prune = Prune is a much lighter purple than Punk Couture, but it's still a cool toned purple. I like it because it helps to define the lips while also softening the color a bit. It creates a nice soft edge if you feel Punk Couture is too harsh or dark on its own.
MAC Currant = My go to liner for most of my purple lipsticks. I have to say I won't pair it with Punk Couture in the future. Currant is too red and alters the cooler grape purple color of the lipstick too much for my liking. I imagine the red plum color it created is what Instigator looks like based on the pics in this thread. I won't know for sure until mine is delivered tomorrow to compare.
MAC Nightmoth = Just straight up vampy! Nightmoth blackens Punk Couture to a very a deep plum purple. I probably wouldn't use Nightmoth either just because I want to stay closer to the original color.
MAC Stone = Paired it out of curiosity and since it was mentioned in this thread. Has a similar softening effect like Prune, but also lightens and adds a grey tint. I like it. This may be office safe because the color is toned down a bit. If you don't want to shell out $15 for Stone, NYX 1000 Years is a close dupe. 1000 Years is just more grey. Stone has a very slight purple/taupe tint to it.
I ordered Rich Purple, but it hasn't been delivered yet. This makes me wish even more that MAC repromotes Grape lip pencil. The majority of my purple lip pencils are all red based.
BONUS: YSL Pourpre Divin layered over Punk Couture = Purple Perfection!
Lol! That would make a great name for a purple lipstick.
