WOW!! I know I couldn't pull this off but it looks nice. I'm impressed. I do think it is about time MAC introduced some funky colors. Even though I've lost interest in this collection, I need to catch up in this thread.

I'd much rather have cremesheen than any kind of matte. I'm glad they're bringing this colour out in a different finish, and I think they should do that with more colours. I often look at collections and think "What a beautiful colour - shame it's matte".

I understand that - I just wish for this particular shade, which will never be released as a matte again due to licensing BS that it had been "repromoted" in a more opaque finish. I refuse to pay $60 or $70 on IG just because I want it in matte.

Looks awesome!!! I was expecting navy blue but this looks more purple than anything.

It even looks like Gunner on my monitor!

Heaux going from retro matte to cremesheen? That's just mean! I wonder if Pleasurebomb and RiRi Boy will ever come back. Pleasurebomb most likely but under a different name and with a million of similar dupes but I think that RiRi Boy was the unique one along with the Viva Glam Rihanna 2 lipstick.

RRB is UTA no back i think.

Tropic Tonic looks a lot like Betty Bright which is the one shade I can never get to work on me.

Betty Bright is the one lippy I regret not backing up. My only one is down to a stub so parked it to keep it from running out, therefore would be delighted if Tropic Tonic is close.

See, this is what I don't understand...MAC considers retro matte and matte to be two different finishes. I mean, if you go on their webpage, they are two separate categories. Because RM has matte in it, it is considered the same?

Matte Royal looks less navy/deep blue and more like a bright cobalt in that photo, and while I'm not sure if it's the lippie or the lighting/filter, I'll pass. Men Love Mystery sounds promising, but this collection may be a pass overall.

Don't feel bad. I can't pull the blue shade off either.

I haven't used SK either, but I need to. I keep coming across it while looking through my other lipsticks,

We can make it work. I wish it was one of the new liquid matte lipstick colors.

MAC for sure knows Heaux is a super popular and desired color. I won't be surprised at all if one of the liquid mattes or one of the Velvetease pencils has the same exact color, just with a different name, for the matte lovers.

In any case, my more pigmented Cremesheens blot down very nicely to a good matte stain without any hassle, so it won't be tough to get a matte effect, I bet.

P&P Lip did not help much, so I had to pull out a Mineralize Lip Balm.

I find the Oxblood finish much pickier than Runway Hit on my lips. RH is warmer than Oxblood and a touch lighter, but it's definitely in the same family. I actually prefer RH on me, since the yellower undertones cancel out my red lips and bring out the green in my eyes, but I would agree that if you're in the NC or NW30-35 range, Oxblood is the way to go, color-wise. There will be those other nudes in this collection, though, and I bet one will satisfy the Oxblood people!

You folks not wearing your Studded Kiss, look at how gorgeous it is! And it's awesome on lots of different skin tones too. It's more of a punk rock, avant guard red, not a retro red, so I could see how it might be a little off-putting at first. I'm glad it's going perm, although damn, after this past year, I think I have enough reds to never get to the bottom of any of them, lol.

Liba, I hope you are correct. I would love to see a Heaux lip liner or Velvetease pencil. My fingers are crossed.
