That is just beautiful on you! So soft & pretty.

I cannot say enough how much I love Summer Rose

Whoever recommended using In Synch L/l under Ever Hip- thank you! It changes it to be a pinky coral color but it is oh so lovely and wearable! If you have both these products, try this look! It's like a bonus lip color!

Yes the Suzi one from OPI is much ligther and a deeper color also. I went to swatch it today after getting Blue India just to make sure there was not a dupe since the MAC formulas are not the best.

The OPI is nice but totally different.

I'm happy about my Blue India. This is the second MAC nail polish color that I've been in love with recently. I just took off Light Affair polish the other day. Love that color, even though the formula is challenging

EDIT::

oops I was thinking about Suzi Skis. The one you were asking about is more of a bright cobalt blue, blue india is much deeper and not as cool as Suzi Says Feng Shui

I wondered if I should ask that question, but then I said what the hell!

I have Dirty Plum already. I'm ordering from the regular Mac site since I don't have a pro membership or whatever so Salsa Rose isn't an option for me online, unfortunately. I don't have a lot of permanent items like lipglasses, lipsticks and shadows. I was gonna get a few backups, but I'd like to get something brand spankin' new.

Have you tried Rebel lipstick? I saw a chick wearing it in a youtube video and it was poppin'. LOL

I don't think I have that one. Geesh, I feel clueless as to what I should recommend.

I'm thinking about buying the sculpt and shape powders. I have one by MUFE that I don't use much, but something tells me I may prefer the ones by Mac.

I really liked the S&S, but for some reason I forget about it

I just checked out Rebel - that could be cool

I don't think it will. I said the same thing too. But Shell Pearl is kind of a unique highlighter that has a "glow from within" look to it. You might be surprised. I was. I've had one from a previous collection and am just now appreciating it after trying it (again) at the counter.

If you try it go outside into the natural light so you can really appreciate the glow that it gives

Just don't overapply. Try it, try it!

I feel the same way about MAC polish formula. It sucks toe jams! But sometimes you gotta cave when the color is amazing.

I can name a few times I have:

Mercenary
Light Affair
Steamy
Blue India

maybe a few others too but those are the standouts

I don't know man. I don't trust MAC sometimes. Things sellout fast on the website and we run around town like chickens with our heads cut off trying to scramble for what we want.

Then we celebrate and high-five each other once we've found our sold out goodies and what does MAC do? They friggin re-stock everything.
Sneaky if you ask me.

That's what I'm doing. I applied one coat on my bottom lip, pressed my suckers together, did it again with the top lip. Then I applied that MUFE gloss #9 VERY lightly on the center of my lips

For me Soft Ochre is a light colour base. It didn't stand tall when it came to oil and creasing. I am however experimenting with it for "drag" like concealing/highlighting on my face.

I know. This is like Urban Decay's stunt with their box of shadows II a few days ago on sephora making it exclusively available and then going out of stock only to have a few hours later be back in stock. it shouldn't be this hard!
