I can't pick a favorite either. I love them all for different reasons. They each add a pretty element to my face that's unique to each color, so I can't decide.
MAC for Marilyn
- Thread starter Sexy Sadie
- Start date

If that packaging was actually a lipstick CASE, that I could switch out my lippie du jour into, I would buy it - I don't think it is, though, so my plain BUs of Runaway Red will probably do.

Thank you for taking the time to swatch and post this!! I could only find Love Goddess from my Mac Counters. I think I will settle for the dupes considering I don't wear reds a lothello again! i went to MAC and sephora this morning and i found some nice "dupes" for the Marilyn lippies R03 Passion Red is super super similar to Deeply Adored R05 Hot Tango is virtually identical to MAC Red, which means is also super similar to Charmed I'm Sure R09 Valentine is very close to Love Goddess, although LC is still lighter, the colours are similar though please bear in mind that you have to take into account the finishes as well as the colours. Sephora lippies are more creamier, similar to MAC's satins, whereas CIS and DA are mattes so the colours are very close but the finishes are different. as you know you can make a satin or cream lipstick look quite matte if you apply it with a brush and then blot with some tissue hope this helps someoneeace:

^ I like LG. It surprised me - such a pretty shade. I thought for sure people would swoon over LG more than DA and CIS (for the reds).
DA knocked my socks off! I really like that one.
I'm also starting to give Scarlet Ibis more love as well! I got the one from Apfel, not MM.

Peeps,
Give this a try: Showgirl over Blackground paint pot.
The black really! emphasizes the blue grey. GORGEOUS!
I was working SG over Dangerous Cuvee pp and the grey was being emphasized.
Blackground is so much better. Love it!

Just a quick thank you to both Peachtwist and Gracie90 who both did a CP for me so I could have back ups of the FM powder. I have not stopped using it since I opened it. I think of all the MAC products, this is my all time favorite.
I cannot believe I missed a restock. I would have BU everything I could, the whole collection was gorgeous. Well, perhaps best for my wallet I didn't get news of the restock in time...

If you ever run out of FM check out the Guerlain meteorites. I got the Perles du Dragon and they give a very similar effect to FM I might like it even better actually. I know they are expensive, but I think they would last for a very long time and therefore they are worth the money.

You know I never remember to use my Blackground paint pot to help emphasize lighter colors. I love that you shared this. I'm going to be more adventuresome in my color choice and combos!
Thanks Fiberluver!!!

Actually I love all the colors of lipsticks, however, quite clear and the coral a Reel Sexy, Blossom Culture does not look too favorably

I am really trying not to get into the habit of Ballz. I cannot afford to get all the LE versions and I am afraid I would quickly develop the addiction if I start but I do cherish the set I have. On the other hand, if I find myself jonezing for more FM, I will look into the Ballz as a back up. And they will probably be cheaper & more available than trying to get more of the MM powder on evilbay or other insanely priced resellers.

Well if you already have some ballz you're fine. I can understand that you're scared to get addicted, because I am too. But I'm really happy I have at least one version and that I have an alternative for FM if I'm going to need it. The ballz are about twice as much money here, but I think they will also last me at least twice as long so that's very nice.

Ok, all the talk of ballz has me chuckling lol. Sorry. I do love the packaging of the new meteorites tho and I have read good things about them. If I ever muster up the ballz to get ballz I will refer to them as such lolol.

Those meterorites have probably lasted so long because I conserve them, and I really don't need more, but the Dragon Perles I really want for the special packaging. Having them does really make me luxurious.

The packaging is lovely indeed, but I'm sure others that will be released in future collections will have lovely packaging as well. I also like the spring perles and their packaging. Oh no I guess I have something new to collect
