MAC for Marilyn

[Patricia]

sorry for the OT, but speaking of red lippies, for the first time in almost 8 years i've decided to change my avatar! thanks to this thread haha

 

[elegant-one]

Patricia - you look lovely in red!

RED RULES

I could not live without FM ...ok, that is a bit dramatic...well, maybe

 

[pearrlkitten]

Can anyone tell me how Deeply Adored compares to Runaway Red? I just got Runaway Red now but was contemplating if I should get DA too!

 

[B7uemo0n]

I don't have runaway red but deeply adored is a wine color. It's really close to viva glam V.

 

[liba]

LOL...I feel the same way. I only got one too, and it is still in the box untouched. I also haven't opened any of the lipsticks from this collection either, they are so pretty I am almost afraid to use them!

Ladies, ladies! Use it and enjoy! MAC will either bring it back or do another one that's even better - I mean FM and the red lippies too!!!!! These are ongoing trends - they're only going to get bigger & better.

Runaway Red is deeper, like a dark ruby, while DA is more of a classic style crimson red. If I could only choose one on me, it'd be Runaway Red - one of my all-time favorite reds.

If you can get DA for the normal price and don't have lots of reds and you look good in blue reds, go for it, but I personally wouldn't pay a huge markup for it - there will be more reds out there.

You are so right. I recently became a MU addict. I would say four months or so. I started buying BU's of every LE item that would come out or pay really high prices on ebay. I used to think "OMG this is perfect and it will never come out again!!" I did not even think of looking up dupes.

Now, I get what I really want and don't BU. Well with the exception of CIS (just because it is my most perfect red, the one in my avatar actually) and the FM. Which I think I am going to get rid off because I have barely put a dent in the one I have. I use just a little bit as a finishing powder so I think it would be a while until I finish the first one and get into the BU. I think I should let it go to someone that probably missed on it or really REALLY wants it.

My first FM is only going to last another week or so, but I do have a trillion backups. That said, I'm more than confident that something even better will come out in the future

Same. I'll use mine liberally until I get to the last one (which will probably take me a couple of years). If something else comes along that I like even better, I'll be happy to share a couple from my stash. The benefit of being surrounded by teen girls - makeup never goes to waste.

I hope you're right because I get a sinking feeling just looking at your photo of the pan for FM. And I haven't even hit pan on the first one yet...

Sad to say FM is the one item from this collex that I have barely used.
I purchased it mainly for the packaging.
I put it with my b/up of Marine Life powder - two pretty packages!

The lippies and e/s on the other hand - I won't be surprised if I run out by the end of 2013.
Yes - they are getting that much love!

Mac Online still has the blush "The Perfect Cheek" available for those interested =^) just ordered one.

I cannot believe how much I adore DA. Tried it with BBQ liner and it was perfect. This color is the slightly blackened matte red I have been looking for and DH really liked it too.

I like it too. It's definitely different than my long-time HG red (VG1) - I'm glad I have both.

Is BBQ discontinued?

It is no longer listed on the web site

I actually miscounted and I have nine. I think. But they are not all in the same place - some are in my house at uni, others are at home and some are in the accomodation that I have to stay in when I'm on placement. I need to gather them all together or something!
My first one is nearly finished now:

OMG unbelievable!!! I thought to be fast finishing a beauty powder in about 8 months... Do you use it all over your face? and what skintone are you? I've only used it as a highlighter but I've not tried it yet now that I'm a bit lighter (NC20).. Elude is perfect for me!

Edit: I've just tried it all over my face and it works, yay!

WOW!! That is awesome that you are nearly finished on your first FM! I haven't used mine yet and will one of these days!

Okay Gracie, now I'm concerned. What are you doing eating the stuff?

I've never used anything that quickly. You need to find more. At this rate you'll be done before the end of the year. Good for you. Work it Gracie Work it!!

 

[Fiberluver]

Yeah,

BBQ was discontinued last year. It was a great shade. I always wanted to pick one up but never got around to it.
You may be able to locate it @ cco.
