I did a quick mu this am, and I used the SS from MAC's new AA collex.. here is the pic. Again my lips are a pinky mauve and since this is a lustre it really gets skewed by my own lip pigmentation.

Skin: NC15-20 for reference. Lined with What comes naturally.. (lol it's not even visible on me) I stand by my original thoughts I prefer to stay away from lustres.. lol




Rose Dressing: Givenchy..I put this right over the SS since I was told I forgot to put on lipstick.. lol .. more my kinda colour!





and finally, Christian Dior 999..holds my most favoured lippie status

You know what's cute, my 7 year old niece is getting into makeup now because when I get new hauls I always show her everything and swatch them for her. She even knows what would look good on her! She's far more tan than me naturally, so she's good at figuring out what darker colors work on her versus my pale skin. I just gave her some of my old makeup to play with and she always asks me to do her makeup when we go out somewhere. Since she's only 7 I usually just do lipstick or gloss and eyeshadow, but I'm excited that she's getting into it! I showed her the packaging for GotS and she loved it. Tried it on her and it looked much more purple than it does on me.

I ended up with 3, the other ones were sold out, great collection ( much more than Alluring Aquatic in my opinion ), did you pick up TR Feel my Pulse ? I watched your video on Play Land collection, btw very nice :) I think the lippies go very well with your skintone and will compliment your Nars blushes too.
I skipped the whole TR collection. Such a shame. Thanks for watching my video! I am still loving the Playland lipsticks!

Givenchy has the best lippies .. well, Chanel does too.. and so does MAC.. bla bla

get it! you will love it!
You know, a year ago I would have thought it ridiculous to spend $35 on a lipstick....and then here I am today with 3 YSLs in my collection haha. Will definitely be picking up the givenchy next time I do a haul! Hopefully I can sell some jewelry soon so I have some money :p

Here's a few from my collection, limited shades that I wish Mac would re-promote. Sorry if that's more irritating than anything, since it's not like you can rush out and buy them, but maybe people can suggest some dupes? I've found these particular ones really difficult to match.

Lollipop Loving- peach with green-gold shimmer. Peach shades almost never work on me, but this one is a really nice nude




Bubblegum: cool lavender pick with gold shimmer (This one and LL are both glazes, which I feel is a really underrated formula from Mac. They can be sheer, but they do definitely have a personality.)




Strawbaby: soft coral red with blue shimmer. I get compliments on this whenever I wear it. I can't believe this one has never been brought back.




Blooming lovely: Greyed lavender. It's a much cooler shade than Lavender Whip (plus it's an Amplified Creme, so it's more opaque), considerably lighter than Up The Amp



Isis: I cannot capture the full beauty of this one. It's a cool taupe base with very fine silver and green shimmer. Unbelievably gorgeous. It was a permanent shade for Mac up until about 2002. Haven't seen anything like it before or since. Incredibly creamy frost, too.



So Original: Deep purple-berry with silver and light gold sparkle. The sparkle on this one is a little grittier than some (although I don't find it irritating) and somehow makes the lips look fuller and smoother, more so than almost any lipstick I've ever tried. I don't know how that works, but I assume that it's because the sparkle is so reflective. It does not read like glitter at all and nothing migrates from the lips.

OMG, why would you show me so many amazing discontinued shades! LOL, seriously, they all look amazing. I am especially loving Lollipop Loving (which I have been lemming for a while), Strawbaby, and Isis is just to die for...so unique!

I think it's great to show LE as well as current and and not very popular brands.. that way we can all learn and keep an eyeball out for great colours! Or if they repromote.. lol

OMG Katred! all of them are awesome on you! I have a weakness for Strawbaby and Lollipop Loving.... I wish they would bring these back but know that the tech has become too expensive again and they would be over $23 so that may be the reason why.

at the risk of sounding like a broken record.. these ALL look amazing on you! Welcome to Name that Lippie! Let's all compare and share!

xoxox
Thank you very much!

You've probably hit the nail on the head with the reason why they haven't re-promoted these shades. Certainly it's not for lack of demand, but if the price would jump that much, then it would be hard to explain.

oh, I nearly got that one! it's gorgeous! I got the Rose Asarine.. will try to post after I have lunch! Love it on you though.. those shades really work well with your skin.
Definitely post Rose Asarine, I've been thinking of getting that one. I do have Rose Nellia which I can post later. I really want Rose Paris, but I can't find it anywhere!

Me, too. I have a weakness for gorgeous discontinued shades, especially the really unique shades. I might have to hunt some of these down. I really wish MAC would get unique with their colors again like they used to.

Such a shame euh, well there are so many collections that are worth the splurge :) I skip most of them in fact, many never arrive here. Playland is very pretty and the lipsticks look like fruit, the collection launches online but not at my local MAC store for some reason. Well never mind,

a lot of collections are waiting for us !

I know a couple of people in the Guerlain thread were asking about how Rose Grénat compared to a couple of other limited edition Rouge G shades:

Madame Batifole (applied on very chapped, dry lips)




Provocative

Givenchy lipsticks are really great, they are pricey here too ( 34 € ), but definitely worth buying. I agree 35$ on a lipstick is a bit insane but Givenchy, Dior, Guerlain or Chanel and YSL of course ( and others ^^) are really awesome brands.
