I own Maison and I really hope Stone isn't that close. I just pulled Maison out tonight and wore it with Spite lip glass. It looked cute but it's not a shade I would rock that often.....
I don't have Maison and just ordered Butter this week but I remember layering them in a store and getting a dupe of Nude a year or so ago. Let me find my pin:
700
L-R: Maison, Nude, Butter Bottom: Butter with Maison on top Looking at these I think I prefer Maison over Butter, lol. Wish I looked back at my own swatch before ordering :lol: I think Stone will look closer to Maison though. It seems dark and different from the pencil...

My lippies finally came an hour ago! I got four so far - definitely heading in store to swatch a few more. Here are pics I am going to post on my makeup instagram. I use Mac's Studio Fix in C4 for skin reference. RiRiBoy and MLM are so close - same with D for Danger and Heaux.




After seeing these no longer worried about Whirl, it's gorgeous!!

And I love MLM and DFD even more!! So gorgeous!

Need to hurry up and release them in the UK haha <3

Excellent swatches! Yes RRB and MLM are similar but I'm liking the slight sheen (?) of MLM in your swatch. Not sure how to describe it but it looks a touch more vibrant. Stone is a lot darker than I hoped...looks like my exact skin tone on you. I guess I'll see on Tuesday when I get them both! Thanks girly!

i have to 2nd that and agree!!! the best deal is that jar combo and i'd buy it again. i got the Bite set from the holiday which came wit a full size exfoliator and i can use either one of em but prefer to use em both at night.  that elf exfoliator comes through in the clutch! i use it before applying makeup so it can marinate n be ready when i toss on my lipstick in the end!!
Yeah I use the elf one and like it. You can even make your own with brown sugar and I think it's olive oil? But #aintnobodygottimeforthat I'm going to look into the bite one...I hear Lush has a good one?: http://www.lushusa.com/Lip-Balms-and-Scrubs/lip-balms-and-scrubs,en_US,sc.html

Thanks and no prob! I do agree - MLM has a slight sheen - definitely way more moisturizing than RRB lol. I paired it with Heroine lip liner and it was

. I used to pair RRB with Fashion Boost - gonna have to try MLM with that. Stone looks like a grayer SIS to me - I need to swatch them side by side. You will love MLM!

There's a girl on YT called wynter4beauty who has 6 shades and does hand and lip swatches and she compares them to other lipsticks she owns in the shade range. She has Naturally Transformed, Runway hit , whirl, Stone, Tropic Tonic and Men Love Mystery..

I took Whirl out of my cart after seeing swatches on here.. but Whirl looks really pretty on her.

Thanks! You will most def love MLM if you love RRB - RRB is one of my top five lipstick shades and MLM is the closest dupe I've seen besides the Milani one that came out a few months ago. You will love all three! Lol, they're such gorgeous shades! With the way time is flying by, it'll be out there before you know it :) . Thanks and no prob!

Yup I wore RRB with Heroine liner two days ago. Yes, it's so drying, I ended up putting a NYX gloss on top at one point, lol. I don't mind a grayer SiS. Love that lippie. Excited to get both! Then check out others in store on Thurs! Anymore on your radar?

what alcohol can i use for clean my lippies? i remember i made a screenshots with the answer but i cant find it
I'm not Erine, but one can use 70% alcohol, the one I got is Isopropanol. I've once read that anything with less alcohol content than 70% won't properly work, but I cannot explain why, cause I was such a loser at chemistry class, lol.

If anyone is looking for swatches for WOC, wynter4beauty has a video on YT with swatches for 6 of the lippies.
Thanks. Great vid. I want Naturally Transformed now! Looks great on her. I'm a little worried about Stone based on how it looks on her (great, but I'm darker). I can make it work I'm sure. MLM looks fab. Heck they all look good on her!

I might want steady going & runway hit Anyone get those?
I'll be getting both of them by Monday. I might need a new l/l to go with them though. See what happens when I only plan on getting a couple things? It turns into two more items because I can't have this without that, right? Haha
