Oxblood gloss -

Adorable sweet & sexy pale rose peachy nude. LOVE it on. I just ordered another.

Kindergarten Red blush - LOVE LOVE it on. Its a soft pale strawberry peaches & cream healthy flush skin shade. Mine is very pigmented & soft. I used the darker red part on the apples of my cheeks blended back & then used the top lightest shade to highlight high on the cheekbone.The oxblood gloss with this blush is a very pretty healthy look combo.

Sorry for my very very dry hands.

These are beautiful on you! How close do you think KR is to the Guerlain Spring blush balls? T has them listed as a dupe and it has been holding me off.

Tenor voice....One of my favorites!!One thing though I think sometimes people hip up a product so much and everyone falls in the trap.My favorite lip products from this collection are barbecue,tenor voice,and maybe oxford but with the lipglass...You have to go to the store and try these on to really see how it looks on you.Everyone was raving about victoriana,and opera honestly they were ok.And the funny thing is they look almost identical on the lips:(
Barbecue is :love:

I don't think any of these are must haves. I just went crazy for the packaging. I only buy most permanent MAC lipstick is LE packaging because I find the regular packaging too boring. That mindset saves me money in the long run as well since I'm not dying to get a color that is always there.

I hated the Oxblood lipstick. I think it looks bad as an NW45 myself. I'm not even trying to get it even to wear with dark lip liner. The consistency was smooth but kind of thick. Also if you're afraid of the lipstick get the lipglass. I bought it and I find it to be much more wearable. It is slightly less peachy pink and very pretty.
Edit: You most likely can make the lipstick work. I'm just being negative because I'm not willing to put in the effort :) But I think the lipglass is way better for darker skin. I actually want to back it up but I don't go through lippies like that so idk

I'm debating whether to get the Violetwink now that I love the Bellgreens. But I also only kinda want it for Stars and Rockets. I didn't even bother testing it in the store.

You look beautiful but I'm more jealous that you look super warm and comfortable and I'm currently at home with the heat on HELL looking like this



I'm debating whether or not to get it to wear over the lipstick or if I could just use a clear or dark colored lipgloss.

I just got off the phone with the Oak Brook, IL store and snagged Oxblood lip gloss. I can relate to the cold! Iowa winters ain't no joke! I will be glad to move away from the Midwest in a couple of weeks
The struggle is real.
Yeah the low buy struggle is real! Today a heroine lip gloss and a beet lip pencil. I am moving in about 2 weeks to Virginia and I gotta behave! Packages are held at UPS so I can pick them up and sneak them in the house...

Everyone looks so beautiful in their goodies from this collection! I picked up Ripe Peach, Azalea Blossom, and Oxblood l/s. I had ordered RP from Bloomingdales since the blushes are listed as $30 there but they never got AB so ordered it from Mac with overnight shipping and got it today. Honestly the pigmentation wasn't that bad for me but I am super pale. It didn't show up on my fingers but I went in fairly hard with my Marc Jacobs blush brush and got a good amount to show up on my cheeks and it blended nicely. I will say I'm disappointed that mine has less lavender and more pink. I paired it with Yield to Love and they looked very nice together. I think I'm going to pick up that Marc Jacobs lavender blush during the Sephora sale now. I went to Macy's after work today (around 6:00) and they had all the lipsticks in stock except Sin but were actually sold out of two of the eyeshadow palettes. I tried on Oxblood and surprisingly liked it on me. It definitely wasn't as pink as some of the swatches but neither was it as dark. It was actually more of what I wanted Pander Me to look like so I'm happy I got it. Hopefully my RP will be here by the weekend so I can play with all of it together.

aww, that's so sweet of you - thanks! I don't think they are close. The balls lean more coral & shimmery in comparison,

Balls - left, KR - right

I also picked up OB l/g , the Bell Greens Palette (Love it!) and the Chlorophyll pencil. I am SO tempted to try and see if I can pick up another azalea blossom blush but I may be trying my luck and end up with a dud...

My Oxblood lip gloss came earlier this week (pure love!!!) and the lipstick comes tomorrow. I went to the store today to pick up heroine lip liner but ended up getting Victoriana too. It is gorgeous!!! Looks exactly like damn glamorous on me, which I love. I swatched azalea blossom, and I think I may need to go back and get it. RP was a disappointment, and KR was just okay.
