MAC Charlotte Olympia (March 17, 2016)

Aaah crap starting to love all three now. Like whyyy. I HATE that packaging. Tempted to buy them all just so they'll have ugly buddies lol. But I'll probably end up with Retro Rouge and Starlett Scarlet.

haha I'm starting to like starlett scarlet too along with retro rouge! the leading lady lipstick looks a lot like other "medium" reds that I have like charlotte, von teese etc but I might be wrong. need comparison swatches

I would think not. Deeply Adored (my HG red) is a blue-red, not a brown-red.

It's a brown red on me, not a blue red like Charmed I'm Sure. Even Temptalia described Deeply Adored as "...a deepened, brown-ish red with a matte finish."

I can't seem to quote, but Miss Elegant and Buick we are going to be rolling in matte-red fugly tube goodness and loving every minute of it! Lol

I just know both of you are going to look FABULOUS in your new red lippies.

Interested in the lipsticks based on color alone, but the packaging

 

[thefbomb]

I really dont need another red lipstick and Im not crazy about the packaging, its alright. I think I just want the mirror...i wonder if $16 is too much for a compact, I just like that it has a spider web on it TBH

I'm so sorry for the late reply, I've been busy and sick at the same time yesterday. Retro Rouge is pretty but I feel it fades quickly. The middle one is Starlet Scarlet which is like for me, an orangey red while Leading Lady Red is a deep bright red, which I love. To be honest, The packaging looks nice but the feel is so cheap.. Like a cheap plastic. Cheap acrylic plastic, so my heart was torn into pieces once I get to hold this lippies..

Does anyone know the size of the mirror? Sorry if this was already stated.

Im a little let down bc I thought it would've been darker, like burgandy. I might just pick it up tho because I love the tacky packaging not gonna lie lol

Swatched from Dominic_mua

Since T's swatches never look good to me and always seem lighter than they actually are I'm going with Dominic's for Retro...gorg there. Lol.

Retro looks so nice. Unfortunate about it feeling cheap.

Yes! The SA actually doesn't wanna open it for me because she find it difficult to open.. But I had to, because cosmetics here in HK is no return no exchange in policy.. Smh.

 

[iqaganda]

The Lip Pencil, He Said She Said, is it permanent or LE? Or was it repromote?

which one is darker? Kiss me Quick or He Said She Said?
