Box finally came! Matte Royal definitely still pulls purple on me rather than blue but that's ok it's still very unique. Stone is pretty much exactly how I wanted it to look. Whirl does pull a tiny bit more brown than I would have hoped but it's not make me want to cry brown lol I think it's ok on me on it's own and in fall will be pretty. I'll probably pair it with a pinker color underneath though when I wear it

I tried it with a very light application of the liner & it looks better LOL!!!

Actually, it's only about 2 shades darker than my natural lip shade. Hubs said he could tell that I had any lipstick on because it's so close to my natural lip shade

Maybe I put it on too heavily the first time. Yes MLM is beautiful!!!!

^ Both colors are so, so beautiful on you, Dolly! It looks like MLM has a touch more purple than the other two in your swatches - perfect for me! My Riri Boy is another lippie that is missing after my last move (along with Heroine), so MLM just may be the perfect replacement. I have and love Up The Amp, but it is very creamy and sometimes I want a much more matte, satiny finish without having to add powder or blot with a tissue.

Thank you! I think I figured out what it is about Whirl that seems off for me. I feel like the lipstick is very dark and opaque and I always thought of Whirl as a lighter shade. Like not a nude but a lighter neutral. To have the lipstick so full power w the strong brown base makes it feel totally different. I'm not unhappy w the color it's just not how I picture Whirl in my head lol

for everyone! I wish I had ordered a few more shades but I will wait until they hit the store on Thursday.
I got Whirl, it looks great with Whirl liner or cork for definition. I used Boldly Bare lip liner to lighten it up a bit & its very pretty with Boldly Bare under it.
I Got D is for Danger & WOW its B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!

I never got Heaux or Pleasure Bomb & have been searching for dupes. Fashion Revival is much darker with more
of a dark plum undertone. D is for Danger is similar to but a touch brighter than Beet lip liner and the texture is awesome Its lipstick love y`all!
I am happy with both of these! Next is to swatch Persistence & a few others!

If I thought Nude and SiS were the perfect nude for my skin tone, Stone is my exact nude. Like it nearly matches my skin totally. It really mutes out my lips...in a good way. I like! Perfect for a heavy eye look. Glad it's perm. It reminds me of how I like VGR2 lipstick. It's the same concept on me but frost. Some won't like it...
