I see a lot of people talking about the prices. The lipstick price ain't bad to me at all. I just spent $50 bucks on a Tom Ford.

My only beef is the S&H. But with a small start up company I can understand their need to charge that much for now. Maybe a year from now if they keep getting bigger they can offer either a lower price or free S&H with minimum $50 purchase or something.

I'm not even mad at their prices though. I feel like there are a lot of brands at that price or more, it's the shipping cost that I hate! Plus in a few years MAC will be probably be right up there at 19 bucks themselves smh!
Sad but true. Mac seems to go up on something every year.

Yep! I think most people are use MAC lipsticks as a benchmark for lipstick prices. When I was only into drugstore cosmetics I would turn my nose up at buying MAC. Now I'll drop 20 on a lipstick without batting an eye if I really want it lol. Plus with smaller companies, their cost to do business is higher than a large corporation.

I really hope so. People's stories about the Blow lipstick are starting to worry me. But I take it that is an isolated incident with that particular color.
I think it was something with that initial batch or something. And since so many people complained about it at the same time, they seemed to have no issue replacing them. I literally sent them an email about mine yesterday morning and got a response back right as the site launched today. Now THAT'S customer service! They didn't ask any questions, just said they fixed the formulation issue and will be sending me a new one!

Yes it is.

And it is funny how one gets acclimated to things. When I first got into MAC, the thought of spending $30 on a foundation brush was laughable. Over the years I wound up getting about 75% of all the brushes they've ever made. LOL!

Shontay was all up in this thread all stealth like.  LOL! And I got my Dark Room!  Just waiting on the confirmation email from Melt.
Yaassss lmao! I said to myself where is @shontay07108  I know she's up in here somewhere lol! 
I'm always around. :D I was running around this morning and at the last minute decided to get my nails done. I looked at my watch a bit later and it was 2:30. I was about to panic and then I realized..I didn't turn the time back on my watch. Talk about being pissed and relieved at the same time. :lol:

That's good of them!

Also, didn't people complain that it smelled funny too, like it turned bad already or am I making that up? LOL

It is an isolated incident. I have almost all the other shades and they're perfect. Pigmented as hell, matte and long lasting. This is my second favorite formula after Nars Audacious. The shipping cost is the only thing that bites my ass, but I get over it because I get my package quick. If I had to wait 5-7 business days then we'd have a problem.

Shipping definitely bites! I ordered Dark Room - I already have all the other colors that I want - so paying shipping for just one lipstick really bites the big one!!! It better be worth it.

Yeah, mine smelled like burnt crayons. And I tried to swatch it on my hand and it dragged and kind of crumbled. My feelings were hurt because I hadn't worn it yet! I'm kind of glad some of the ladies on Specktra had issues with theirs bc if it weren't for them I would have not thought to check mine! I would have just pulled it out one day and tried to put it on and been like wtf.
