MAC X Bao Bao Wan Collection (March 5, 2015)

I love David Bowie. My favorite yt girl is grav3yard girl bunny and OMG she has THE most amazing blue eyes. Sometimes I just have to pause the video to just stare at them. And she is so funny and not pretentious. Just the right amount of crazy! Can't stop laughing at her "follow me around" videos. I wonder if she is on Specktra, that'd be awesome.

I love Bunny!

Ladies, if I have Royal Ball... Do I need Romantic Breakdown? A friend of a friend is selling hers BNIB for retail price and I was wondering if I should pick it up. All the swatches here look super pretty!

Yes, they are different.

I hope that works out for you! I usually just line the lip line, and it's amazing how  lipsticks can change with different liners only on the actual lip line. I have tried BK with a red liner too, and again it looked different. I'm going to keep changing it up until I find my fave combo.

It was a reddish liner before, just remembered. Must try pink tomorrow.

I swatched in-store a few days ago and the only difference I noticed was that Royal Ball was a little more pink while Romantic Breakdown had a hint more beige. I'm pretty sure you'd honestly not notice the difference on lips though. Either way, these two particular lippies look different on everyone so I'd grab it if you like these sort of colors. 

Quoted wrong person! Sorry!

They were swatched by a Specktra'ite maybe in the Cinderella thread. RB is more pink and RBreakdown is nude. It's kind of in between Free as a Butterfly and Royal Ball. I have RB and FAAB and waiting for RBreakdown.

Yay, I was able to snag FS from Ebay for $27.00....totally worth! She's so beautiful

 

[ARmakeupjunkie]

Can anyone suggest or recommend an appropriate coordinating lip liner for Burmese Kiss please. Its out of comfort zone and I'm at a lost for ideas right now.

Try Dynamo Pro Longwear Lip Pencil.

 

[eeshbeesh]

Try Dynamo Pro Longwear Lip Pencil.

Ooohhh thank you!

Aargh! Another day of errands. And now it's cloudy... i'll get to it soon, really.

To stay on topic: Lavender Jade looks pinker than i prefer, so i'm going to blend it with NYX Macaron in Lavender and see if that makes me happier. Still, LJ is cooler toned than Lavender Whip, Dodgy Girl, and Viva Glam Nicki 2. At this point i'm kind of agnostic about it...

 

[Bwachte]

I have been wearing SO almost everyday now... I absolutely love it!

 

[singer82]

Thank you!

RB is gorgeous on you, perfect with your pretty eyeshadow:eyelove:  

My eyes are really light brown almost gold. I love greens and purples on my eyes the most.

If your eyes are more of a golden-brown, then blue-based purples will enhance them beautifully, since blue and orange (gold) are opposite each other. :wink:

I love the look of both of these

Most advice for green eyes I've seen seems to assume light to medium colored, clear toned green eyes, but I have muted, dark green eyes (the kind where you have to look closely or in sunlight to really notice it) so I think 90% of the time the tones end up clashing. Would you recommend the same burglaries & wines for me? I'd love for my eyes to actually 'pop' green!

I have a same-ish problem. I have darker greenish (or greenish gray) eyes with some orange around the iris. However, I'm not eager to wear pink/red toned e/s to bring out the green in them as I have redness on my face. I have not really worn any purple e/s of late but sometimes I do like to wear shades like Stars N' Rockets.

 

[TommyCJC]

She's here!!!!! =D
So happy to finally have a Lavender Jade! SO SO beautiful and I know I will wear this shade to death!!
Today's actually been a double great day for me, because I've also managed to luck out and get the back up I wanted!!
NO MORE STRESS!! I am thrilled!! ^_^
