@Pinkdollface: I was wondering: the day you went to Amsterdam to pick up Flamingo, did you also ask for Party Parrot by any chance? I was there to buy a backup of Party Parrot and Pink Pigeon but the former was sold out already. There was a girl there that bought the last Flamingo. Was that you by any chance?
I was outside the store around 9:55. I got Flamingo, Party Parrot and Pink Pigeon. I'm not sure if i got the last one, because i asked the MA as soon as i could. But if that girl looks like my avatar than it was probably me.

here are some comparison swatches. from left to right - runway red, racer red, new temptation, ruby woo. Hope that helps
Yes Edenlmc that helps a lot! I know MACerette said Red Racer is a neutral red but in this pictur it looks so a little close to my beloved Ruby Woo. I know they r different finishes but what is your opinion on this? Thanks for taking the time to do the comparison swatches!

You should definitely try it if you have a counter or store near you. I was never into these kind of colours, but i'm very glad i got this one. I think it would look really good on you.

No then you were there before me. Just popped in my mind. Would have been a coincidence :)

One can never have enough red lippies! There are plenty to match the bad moods too, trust me I am a red LS fiend and I love it. And Pinkdollface I hunted down Runaway Red because of your profile picture.

OMG Riviera Life is GORGEOUS!!! Thanks for the lip swatch xasperadastra!!
you are welcome! Lip swattches are a must to see how something works (and I always look for lip's swatches!!)
Thanks xasperadastra for the swatches. I can feel safe to cross Emerald Sea off my list, that is until it starts calling my name. But Riveria Life looks beautiful on you, so that stays on my list.

What a waste! It's so much fun.
Somehow I have been invited by several people. I have a make up shopping friend whom I met at make up school. People know I'm a make up shopping monster. As soon as I hit the MAC store there is no more space for reason

I leave with one or two filled bags (two if I buy several bottles of brush cleanser and make up removers etc), then we stop for a bite and check te goodies and contemplate going back for a few items. I usually go back two or three times after the initial haul.

Haha, sounds like a lot of fun! I've never had a second bag, but you're a professional? So i guess than it's nice to have a lot of brush cleaner and make up remover ready.

Lipsticks and eyeshadow refills do not take up a lot of space so even if you buy a lot it doesn't look like much in the bag. It's the bottles that fill those bags up nicely. I prefer a good bag of lipsticks etc

I have never seen a big bag filled with that either, just halfway or so.



These kind of bags are my favorite ones <3

I'm starting to lose interest in Shore Leave, it doesn't look very coral in the swatches I've seen and I don't want to buy a liner to go with one lipstick (Flamingo).
