Just wanted to stop in right quick and say that the elusive Maybelline lip gloss in Mirrored Plum does exist, LOL! I have been to no fewer than seven stores total (CVS, Walgreens, Walmart) and happened to be driving past a Kmart of all places when something said go look. They had two of them, and those two I bought.

Hoping that I don't need to buy Heroine lipglass after this and can whittle my haul down to Ablaze products only. Don't forget to look for a Maybelline color sensational glosses limited edition display for these. They won't be in the regular color sensational glosses slots.
I need to continue my search for Mirrored Plum. I've only looked at like 2 stores so far.

I wonder how Silly Lip Pencil compares to NYX Dolly Pink Lip Liner? Is there anyone out there that can give me an opinion on whether they are similar or, not?

I just got my package (heroine & ablaze) and I feel like heroine doesn't suit my very olive complexion, and now I'm scared to even try ablaze. Any olive-skinned ladies want to share their experience?
I am very olive as well and it looks perfect I love it and people are always asking what I have on

Hairstylists can be the same way. It's your job to know whats in the salon. How things work, how to use them!!!! Drives me crazy. Also, selling product in the salon usually gets you a small commission, but you have to know your shit to be able to sell it to someone else.
I used to be a receptionist for a hair salon. And I totally agree. I was trained about everything in the store so, that I could sell to clients and sell them the right products for there hair. You can't just come up in there and recommend something, without knowing what the fuck your talking about. Last thing you want is a client coming back with jacked up hair because, you gave them the wrong shit. Serious No No!

It's funny. Where I live, I've seen it at about five different stores. All fully stocked. I guess purple ain't so popular around my parts...LOL!

LOL! I've only tried 2 stores so I haven't really searched in depth for it yet. I didn't even try to look for a special display actually. Just went to the Maybelline section. Silly me.

Thanks GlamQueen21. I'll try a few places tomorrow and I will surely report back if I do manage to find and snag it. I love the way it looks in swatches so I'm pretty sure I'll love it.
Do so and if you find it, do get two! I almost got another one but I told myself no since I already ordered Heroine l/g.

Heorine lip pencil, Albaze l/s and l/p and silly lipsick.

I love the color of silly the only thing is that it's very drying and it feels just like cyy. So I will def put a moisturizer under it and I'm thinking about purchasing the lipglass and liner as well.
Yesss they look gorgeous on you. So upset i neeeed that heroine liner now grrrr. And silly lipstick? Yes pleass.

I agree. That should look lovely on you. One great thing about being the makeup junkies that we are, is that you can always layer it with other lipsticks and/or glosses to get it just the exact shade/consistency makes you the happiest. It's a lot of fun. Give it a try!

I received my goodies today. I have all of the lipsticks, glosses and pencils (with a few backups). I have only played with Heroine so far. It looks pretty promising. i just put it on today minus any makeup (day off). I wear purple glasses, so that should work nicely with it.

I have been stalking the MAC site to see when the shadows will become available. Does anyone out there have any ETA on them?

Thanks so much!

To me it doesn't look like dolly pink lip liner. Matter of fact I don't have a lip liner that would go with silly.

i said this awhile back but it really does seem that only a few light skinned ladies like heroine on them. the majority dont really like it. It seems every darker skinned ladies loves heroine though. havent heard one doubt about heroine from a woc.
I do consider myself a WOC since I'm definitely darker than a medium, I guess I could play with it a little bit, but I feel bad that it doesn't work on me and that someone else could've bought it

I got my package a couple of hours ago and I'm so pleased with these lipsticks.

Silly is unlike anything I have, but keep in mind I don't own any bright straight pinks like it at all. I had Please Me, but lost it. I don't think it really looks like Please Me from what I can remember though. It's nice, but my lips are in bad condition right now so the dryness was a bit emphasized. Not a surprise! Still like it!

Embrace Me is nice as well. I didn't spend any time comparing it to the other MAC dupes yet, but obviously it does resemble a few.

Ablaze is my absolute favorite of the 4 and I knew I should have backed it up (but I couldn't make up my mind before it sold out). I loveeeeeee this one. I never had TT, but I did want it. It feels so creamy and glides on my lips perfectly. I will definitely be backing it up once other websites have it up, during a restock, or in the store next thursday.

Heroine scared me a little, so I didn't back it up, but I really wanted to try it because it looked amazing on everyone. I did buy an extra for my mom because she likes colors like that. So, the verdict? I love heroine as well! It's gorgeous and I wish I bought one extra for myself. Hands down looks sooo much better than Strong Woman on me. I have a hard time wearing Strong Woman on its own. I like to add Naturally Eccentric over the top of it to lighten it and make it more wearable. But with Heroine, I don't feel the need to alter the color. It's a perfect purple IMO.

Here they are on me. I didn't feel like pulling out my camera, so I just used my iPhone. Excuse the rest of my face and the imperfect application of the lipsticks.

Silly




Embrace Me



Ablaze



Heroine
