I ordered Urban Decay's lip pencil in Blackmail, which is a wine sort of color. We will see how that does with Heaux when they both arrive.

I knew it!! They need to give us back at least $2 for the mislabeling :haha:  I asked them the same question on launch day but they never responded...or I didn't notice. Thanks for the info and now I know I'm not crazy :loco:
I emailed them twice in one month regarding them charging shipping to pro purchases online and they never replied. After a month they finally fixed the problem but still never responded to me :rolleyes:
Well considering they can't even spell the finish of their own lipsticks, I'm not sure I am "assured"! 
:lmao:

"MAC Heaux Lipstick ($17.00 for 0.10 oz.) is described as a “berry.” It’s a medium-dark, berry-red with a hint of pink and subtle, cool undertones (it almost looks warm-toned against my complexion at times). This shade was released previously with a Retro Matte finish, but it is now an Amplified finish. The color is similar, though a little more muted and less cool-toned to me, while the formula applies better and is more forgiving once it warms up, but it doesn’t last as long (it wears for five hours in this formula). It had semi-opaque color payoff that went on evenly, and the formula was neither drying nor hydrating. Burberry Bright Plum (15) (P, $30.00) is darker. Buxom Menace (P, $21.00) is glossier. NARS Palais Royal (P, $25.00) is darker, warmer. Bite Beauty Aubergine (P, $24.00) is cooler. NARS Vera (P, $32.00) is lighter, brighter, cooler. Tom Ford Beauty Moroccan Rouge (DC, $50.00) is more shimmery, darker, cooler. Tom Ford Beauty Didier (LE, $32.00) is more shimmery, darker, cooler. Estee Lauder Thrilling (P, $30.00) is lighter, brighter. Estee Lauder Unattainable (P, $30.00) is cooler, less glossy. Estee Lauder Intriguing (P, $30.00) is more muted. See comparison swatches / compare dupes side-by-side."

Wonder if she's just going by the box or if she really knows?

I'm so confused that I dont even know what's up or down with this Heaux. The press info clearly states it's a cremesheen, Mac says its cremesheen, Temptalia says its amplified and all the boxes + retail lipsticks are labelled Amplified. Jeez.

I'm going with what MAC says. No one is going to own up that the labels were an error though.

Here's me with Heaux 2.0. Pretty color, I can see myself using this a lot for work. I did order 2 tubes incase ;) Its definitely a creamsheen not amplified. I am wearing just simple makeup today. I am NC35ish (maybe even NC40?) I'm wearing Nars Sheer Glow in Barcelona (medium 4) for reference.

Even though everyone looks so pretty in their pics I think I definitely could have skipped this collection. I think I've finally figured out that I'm a matte/satin kinda girl.
