Really pretty on you, though

Thank you but I think it looks more flaterring on me in the photo. IRL it looks dull and doesnt do anything almost greyish. Thats why I compared it to Laced because on my lips I thought it had the same effect of just dulling me out.

Thank you for posting swatches! I think the shade looks great on you! I ordered the lipstick the day the collection launched and received it on Monday, however, I will be returning it to the store on Friday. I tried it on for the first time yesterday evening and unfortunately, the shade wasn't flattering on me at all and I couldn't get it to work. So I'm just gonna exchange it (along with another product I purchased, which is not from this collection) for something else.

girl i did not know we can return in store!!! When I read your post i was like hold up.... checked the return policy again and saw indeed that i can hand it into the store. Im so excited lol i wanted to get a product from there and now i get instant gratification lol

That really is too bad.
I think I skipped because I thought it would look like MAC Stone on me.

I tried it on last night and then this morning and it really pulls much greyer then I expected. I'm so disappointed. It reminds me of stone which I don't wear that much because I look like a zombie.

I'm soooo glad, I can return it in store! That'll be on my list of things to do this weekend!

Oh no :/
Good thing I skipped because I can't do returns
I do like Stone but I don't need dupes

I love/have Stone so I guess I don't need this one. I'm a sucker for grey-toned nude shades.

Me too - now I cannot wait to try this shade on. I just got it so tomorrow it gets a tryout!

You might really like Dearly Beloved. It does remind me of stone but it's not a dupe. It's browner but has enough gray that it's a no go for me.

Sagehen...can you post pics? I'd still like to see it on someone else.

 

[Ajigglin]

I'm in the minority, then. I LOVE this shade on me. Straight up MLBB.

I ordered the lippie last week, with my BU of Compassion and Fever blush. MAC had a valentine offer for a free velvetease lip pencil (Just Add Romance) with €70 or more. Couldn't resist it, even though it isn't the kinda red I usually go for lol. Only tried Fever so far and I really like it.

 

[Curly1908]

I love this shade!!!!

I didn't see this until just now and I don't think I took anything. I will try to get some swatches tonight after work. So they will be swatches in artificial light.

HI !! I'm going to start being more active with this community, I hope everyone likes the photos, at least finds them helpful. Additionally, I personally love both the lipstick and the lip gloss. I think I will reorder both. (PS. no foundation, just natural skin)

I brought dearly beloved two weeks ago and I love it! Ive been wearing it since then it is PERFECT for me. I'm so surprised that people haven't been talking about it. But to each his own. I have stone and Im not crazy about it. I like Styled in sepia more than stone but DB beats them both out in my opinion.
With that being said, I am looking to get backups of this. It looks great with a smokey eye or if you just want to wear concelaor and mascara.
This and magic spell from the nutcracker are the nudes that are in HEAVY royation for me but I won't get a bu of magic spell...just 2 bu's of dearly beloved ( its thats serious. Lol)

Same. It pulls grey on me too. Disappointing. Why can't MAC make a neutral, warm-leaning w/ no orange undertone (looking at you Pander Me/Persistence/Strip Me Down) lipstick?

Awww...isn't it annoying when you have high hopes for something & it doesn't work? Its like back to the drawing board, we go. Nudes always seem to be either too grey, yellow or orange which is why I gravitate to nude Lusteres; not overly pigmented but enough color for me. Unfortunately, as everyone here knows Lusteres wear time stinks.

 

[bluelitzer]

it's a yucky mlbb color. like someone said up there, can live without it.

Thinking of getting it now that MAC has the 25% Select deal but they keep charging me $5 for standard shipping! OMG, I'm so late, just checked their shipping and it's $5 standard now?!! That sucks, royally. I just placed an order on Mar 2nd and wasn't charged shipping.

Access Denied

I think it's only charging shipping under $50 when using the 25% off code. People were discussing it in the Early Buzz thread, I believe.
