Oh no! you shouldn't have returned it! They're gonna trash it :(
Yes, I know. It should be trashed; it was of poor quality. If it had applied decently and I just hadn't cared for the colour, I would have put it in the clearance bin or given it away. I've never had a MAC lippie apply like this - there's something wrong with the one I received.

Happy New Year! I originally planned to go out for New Year's Eve, but then opted to stay in. I still did my makeup and decided to wear Punk Couture. I can't say enough how much I love this lipstick! I outlined my lips with NYX Prune lip pencil then added Punk Couture. It is patchy for me, but I forgive it because of the color. I layered YSL 
39 Pourpre Divin lipstick on top, and then used a lip brush to apply ​
YSL 
47 White Gold Topaze Golden Gloss.​
 :heart: :heart: :heart: My Hautecore and Instigator were delivered on New Year's Eve, so I've now tried all 4 lipsticks. Instigator looks as I expected on me, but I was surprised to find it to be so much darker than Punk Couture. Currant or Vino lip pencils are perfect matches for Instigator. Nightmoth makes it even darker. I was correct in thinking that Punk Couture paired with Currant or Vino pretty much makes Instigator. I really like Hautecouture and it's my second favorite from the collection.
Beautiful, girl! :bigthumb:

So cool that a lot of you guys have your lippies already. I ordered my PC from MAC last thursday morning but it's still not due to arrive until Monday. Not fair lol. Plus, it still says departed and hasn't even arrived in Cali although my 2 later orders have. Ugh, gotta love UPS.
I've been having my PC for a little while since I ordered from the Nordies pre-order but MAC surprised me recently. I normally order from MAC using USPS to my p.o. box. When PC and MN came out on MAC's site last week or whenever it came out, I ordered and for some reason, this order was shipped UPS using their smart post or sure post or whatever they call it. It's still going to my p.o. box but I was wondering why they did that when they hadn't before. I should've BEEN had my order but now it's not due to be delivered until tomorrow (1/3).

I got to play with the lippies! And I have to agree PC is pretty patchy... :-/ I've been thinking of purchasing prep+prime lip..-does it really work well on dry lips??

Those lippies look beautiful on you and I love your hair!!! Yes, P&P works wonders on dry lips! It did on mine and I just bought it about a month ago after Erine recommended it. Thank The Lord for that woman and her makeup knowledge! I suffer from walking dead, chapped lips and P&P changed my lipstick life! You should definitely give it a try.

My MAC Rich Purple was delivered. Tried it on and it's not what I expected. I'm disappointed. It's a lot darker than Punk Couture than I thought it would be. It darkens the original color too much for my liking. I was hoping it would be a closer match. I'll find a use for Rich Purple with some of my other purple lipsticks, so it's not a waste.

I tried MAC Heroine lip pencil while I was at it. Not sure why I didn't before. It doesn't darken the color of Punk Couture, which is great for me. It does create sort of a magenta cast, however. Then I tried a staple pencil that I completely overlooked in my quest for the best purple pencil. A nude color that matches my skin tone. Duh! For me, that's MAC Cork/NYX Toast. It didn't alter the color and gave me defined lips.

Pretty. Yeah I used the currant line with he pc and it made it so similar to the instigator I may need to try a different liner to lighten PC might try looking for what you used. I haven't worn it just tried it on and wasn't sold on it but it look so good on you!


Beautiful, girl!

Pretty :) For some reason my PC is not patchy (knock on wood) but I think I like instigator a little bit more
