My crackhead mailman left my package in my mailbox late last night. I like Blow a lot. It's a true, deep green on me and somehow it makes me a lot less insecure than Space Cake and DGAF. Bane is the best, though! A true matte black. Being matte just makes it more badass and sophisticated than the black by Mac. I knew I didn't need that damn thing b/c Melt would get it right, but I wanted to be able to compare. Bane is amazing. I'll wear that outside without hesitation.

There were a lot of people saying how 6six6 isn't as dark as the promo photos. I got it when Melt launched Blow/Bane on Monday and 6six6 looks dark enough on my lips. I don't know if they tweaked the color after people complained about the color not being dark enough.
http://instagram.com/p/kIku_HmbLd/ <- not me but it looked about the same color on me too.
The lipstick glides well (creamy) and my lips feel comfortable. It's not hydrating but it didn't seem all that drying either. And oh god, the pigmentation is amazing.
I don't own a lot of dark reds, so I don't know if it's easily dupable or not. But I've read some reviews saying it's close to MAC Diva except slightly darker. I'm pretty happy with the purchase through, and for me it was worth the price. It's a lot creamier than most of MAC's matte formulas... and I think more pigmented but maybe I just feel this way since the lipstick is more creamy.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IjxMIxarusk you can see her wearing MAC Diva and 6six6 so you can compare.
I wasn't too sure about 6six6 but I ordered it since I was already getting Bane/DGAF (so shipping wasn't an issue) and I figured I can always return it if I absolutely hate it.
Hope that helps.

I used InstaFrame. I switch between that one and InstaCollage mostly but I prefer InstaFrame. I assume it's available for different phones but I use it on the iPhone.

Thank you for the help! I have Diva. I'm going to just bite the bullet and get 6six6.

Yay, I do have it! I recognized the name, checked my phone, and I downloaded that app sometime last year. I had been using PicJointer mostly, but now I'm going to give InstaFrame a try. Thnaks!

Maybe I'm thinking of the wrong color....not sure. 6six6 is a nice color. But it's similar to Media (I did swatch them next to each other real quick) except for the fact that Media isn't matte like I mentioned. I just expected it to be a bit darker. Nothing that liner tweak couldn't take care of lol.I don't think PN is a dupe at all. In some of the pics I took, I could see why some have made comparisons, but to the naked eye, they're not even close, IMO. Top to bottom and left to right: PN, six6six (no flash, flash)
I think NARS Train Bleu is a closer dupe to PN. From left to right - Train Bleu, Prince Noir, six6six (no flash, with flash):
After switching six6six, I fell in love with the color all over again. It is a beautiful shade!

I compared it to my kaoir blue and said this. Its still blue but pulls a little purple too. Its weird. I like it though.Is It normal for my dgaf to only look like a true blue in bright lights or with flash ? In person and natural lighting it looks really dark kind of like a purple ?? Dose anyone else notice this?

I honestly don't think it's that light, but I don't know how the first batch looked. On me, it's kind of like a more subdued Heroine. It's not that much of a pink or red-based purple on me, but more neutral. I'm loving it. I still haven't tried my Blow or DGAF, but I wore Spacecake earlier and for some reason it looks a dark teal color on me. I liked it, but it kinda threw me for a loop.

I questioned whether I would really ever use a blue lipstick, but then I see photos like this one :jawdrop: , and I know I need 1 ASAP. DGAF looks similar enough to what she's wearing right ??
