Sorry for the close up...lol But here I am wearing oxblood with the matching lipglass...I actually love it with the lipglass,and if it shows I have kingergarten red on the cheeks I love it♡♡

Gorgeous. It looks great on you!

How does Ruby Woo compare to Opera? are they the exact same color. I have been looking at Tempatlia's swatches and the look identical, but I am not sure if its her lighting.

I asked the same question and I was told that the texture is different.Ruby woo is matte and Opera is matte and has a velvety feeling and maybe a slight sheen on the lips.I personally feel that ruby woo is more harder to apply and more drying.

I'm definitely happy I bought Victoriana I debated when I made my online purchase but when I walked into the store I loved it.

Ah! Your close up looks great. Really making me consider the OB lipglass now.

Any WOC willing to share of pic of wearing just Oxblood lipglass? I'm really curious as to how it looks by itself.

Thank youYou should deff pick it up if you can it can be worn on any nude,pink,taupe,and even purple lipstick depending on the lipstick and your skin tone...The gloss actually makes me love oxblood,I'm going to try and get a Bu....Lmk how you like it if you pick it

Thank you for your reply. I love matts but not a fan of the retro matt..so if Opera is the same color as Ruby Woo, then I am going to order it. Thanks again

Sure npI haven't checked if they are the same but the SA at Mac said it is close but different texture.I also love matte lipsticks but these new ones from Toledo are a dream for us matte lovers..Very easy to apply and velvety feel to them.I also don't think they accentuate cracks on your lips which is great unlike ruby woo(look over here I need some chapstick)..lol

Ok guys I impulsively bought Chlorafill mascara today. Idk what my problem is, but I just got this idea in my head that I wanted green mascara so I could look as weird as possible. And guys, this did not disappoint. I'm wearing it right now and I may have spoke too soon about this collection being a total fail. Even though the majority of it sucks for me, Victoriana and Chlorafill are absolutely welcome additions to my collection. I tried to get a good photo of this green mascara because it's not that easy but I managed as best as I could.
If you wanna look weird (in a GOOD WAY) get Chlorafill! Like seriously now all I wanna do is walk around NYC some more so people can wonder whats wrong with me (lmao)

It SO is!!!! Both ls & gloss are just gorgeous.

Did you get both?

I got both! Tenor Voice was the only gloss I wanted besides Oxblood - it goes on so smoothly.

I usually stay far away from red gloss too.

It's so opaque - it's shows up bright Chartreuse on even the darkest lashes (like mine). Wearing it with the matching pencil is just wild looking. Definitely have to be in the mood to make a statement. I wish the other mascaras were this opaque, but Tarot and Calligraphy both have really pretty, tiny sparkles in them, which are lovely, especially if you use them with the matching pearlglides. I think I'm going to get the most use out of Calligraphy - it makes the whites of my eyes look very white and brings out the turquoise in my eyes - just that on the lashes and Victoriana on the lips is a great look right there.

Giiirl when I was about to buy it I did a quick google search and couldn't find anything about Chlorafill except for a post you made where you praised it lol. That's what pushed me to buy it, so THANK YOU!
As for the other two, those are super cool too. I loveee the sparkles. Tarot looks so fun, I'd probably have gotten that one if I couldn't get the green. Well the blue's nice too... oh hell I just love colored mascara.
Maybe I should get the pencil now... Maybe for the lower lashline?

Glad you noticed my post - I used to write huge write-ups about the collections but life is just too hectic right now for all that. I do like to mention the really unusual things that people might not notice otherwise, though! Glad it helped- you're definitely daring enough to wear it. With your brown eyes, I'd say go for Tarot, if you're going to get another one.

This is the look I would do with Chlorafil - I'd line both upper and lower lash lines with the pencil and use the taupe eye gloss on the lids for extra texture. I'd use a little bronzer and a wet looking but neutral colored highlighter like Superb EDSF. On the lips, I'd use a very little bit of a subtle nude or subtle pastel pressed into the lips, something like Lavender Whip or Woodrose or a tiny bit of Tropical Buzz. If it was for evening, I'd go with glossy lips instead, like one of the Mineralize glosses from Lightness of Being, like the blue one or the yellow one. I'd do this with really simple, light colored clothes to set off the makeup, rather than black.

I really appreciated your input on that post!
My eyes are so strange, they are green but they love to fool people and look brown half the time. That's probably why I always go for green eye products, I love to draw the green out in my eyes. Tarot was so cute and pretty so I may have to check it out one more time. Plus I might be wrong here, but Tarot bubble tea is the prettiest shade of lavender so I love that the purple mascara is named Tarot. (Names always are a selling point for me, lol) I used to wear blue mascara a lot in high school, so that could be an option too. Or I might just stop at the green. Idk. I'm a very indecisive person if you can't tell.
That look you described is seriously what I go for a lot. You kind of just nailed it. We are totally on the same page girl! The only difference is I live in dark clothing lol.
