I'm surprised I don't own 6six6. That sort of color is right up my alley. At first the name put me off but that went out the window pretty quick. By the time I wanted it it was sold out. I only have 2 other Melt lippies. By Starlight and Summer. I'm STILL trying to wear Summer without looking like Tyrone Biggums. Any suggestions?

That's why I didn't buy it at first. Went back to scoop it and that joint was sold out lol! I put it in my cart this time with a quickness! I did so many swatch searches on Summer, scouring youtube for brown girls wearing that one. It just looks milky in the tube so I stayed far away. I knew I would need hella liner to make it work and I'm too lazy for that.

Perhaps try a red or orange lip liner with it? Seriously, it would have to be one hell of a name to turn me off a product. Like, it would have to be racist. Anything else just doesn't bother me really. Probably a sign of my obsession. I could wear a shade called bird poop. That's actually what I think of when I see Spacecake.

Two of my favorite blending brushes come from Bdellium Tools. I also use the The 3/8 Lowe-Cornell 270 Maxine Mop. It's an artist paintbrush that's made from the same hair as the MAC 239. It also has the same exact shape. MAC $23 paintbrush $5. Also have you tried the Sedona Lace Vortex brushes? They are awesome. I love brushes almost as much as I love lipstick. I've got high end brushes and cheapo brushes in my collection. I'm actually currently waiting for some IT for Ulta brushes.

Geez, more brushes to try..;-) I like bdellium, one of them I got was slightly scratchy though.

Speaking of brushes, I just ordered that sigma 3dhd foundation brush or whatever it's called. My friend gave me a sigma brush set a few years ago and it was trash, but I assume they've improved. The shape of the brush interests me. I want to try Sedona Lace soon.

I will say that Sedona Lace has sales ALL the time. I am forever getting 20% off emails and what not. Def try them for black friday!

I love the Vortex brushes. Let me know how that 3D HD brush works out. I still think its very gimmicky. At least now Sigma has free shipping over $50 now. I'm going to buy a Zoeva set before I get another brush from Sigma. Don't get me wrong it doesn't mean I don't like Sigma but there are other brushes out there that currently have my attention. Have you tried Cozzette? I'm sure you will  One 20% off ends and two days later another one starts!

I've never heard of Cozzette. I'm getting my head out of my giant high end ass right now when it comes to brushes. The only reason why I ventured out to Real Techniques is because of the name behind it. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't have at the price. Sort of a too good to be true thing goes through my mind. I like the look of the sigma brush. I'm playing around with ways of applying my foundation. The Beauty Blender isn't working for me, some other brushes are OK. I'm looking for a tool and technique to really wow me.

Can't believe all the lipsticks are still available! I'm still on the fence about Dark Room, so I can't wait to see everyone's swatches.

Roque Cozzette has a line of brushes and I love his blending brushes. I picked them up at the 1st NYC IMATS. Give Sonia Kashuk a try too. I picked up the 15th anniversary brush set and I swear I just may marry the flat contour brush. They are soft and perform very well at a more than impressive price point.

I actually did try Sonia Kashuk a few years ago. I gave them a go for awhile, but never really took to it. I'll probably try it again.

I'm going to try it out with MAC Redd, MAC Cherry and MAC Embrace Me. If it doesn't work out I know a great home it can go to.
