I did the same - it just looks weird on!

I feel the same way. I love Love Knot but I returned Ensign cause it just did not look flattering on me. I do find these lustreglasses to be stickier but I like that since stickier glosses tend to last longer on me. I find that with lipglasses and lustreglasses I don't have to reapply as often and I love that.

Mutiny is gorgeous! It applies much lighter than it is in the jar. It isn't as bright on the eye as you'd think. It is very wearable IMO. I think it is an awesome color and I am SO glad I got it

Just to be clear, the paint pots are replacing shadesticks and paints, not fluidlines, right? *holding breath*

Re: Naughty Nauticals Discussion

I went back to my local MAC counter to get Port Red and they were all sold out! I am so bummed! I totally got talked in to Love Knot and I am glad I did because it is gorgeous and not at all too sticky IMO. This collection is divine and I am super bummed that I have not gotten port red yet. I wish they would have come out with a red lustre glass kind of like how red romp went with queen's sin. That would have been gorgeous!

Re: Naughty Nauticals Discussion

So after some debate, I decided to get Ahoy, There, and I LOVE it! It arrived today and I couldn't wait to try it. I'm so surprised how much I love it! It shows up more than I thought it would on my pigmented lips and gives just the perfect amount of color. It is such a pretty light pink and looks very natural, like your own lips but prettier. I also love the glaze formula on this one, it feels very smooth and mousturizing on my lips. I am so happy I got this and now I'm thinking about a backup!

Also, does anyone not really agree with the maccosmetics.com description of Party Mate? I don't really think this color is a "Sheer midtone pink". I find it to be a bit plummy and looks almost a bit red in the tube. Still love it though!

right, right, right, right, right! they are keeping fluidlines (for now at least). if they ever got rid of fluidlines, i don't know what i'd do.

i use them everyday.

I'm glad you like it! I figured it would really suit you just going by your pic!

Port Red all the way. Although, I think Port Red is more suitable and appropriate for the Spring/Summer season.

Whereas Queens Sin looks smart during Fall/Winter. Either way, I pile my clear lipglass on top of these two shades…mmmmm…talk about BITCHY! It’s just soooo rich looking.

I worked the Hell out of my Frida Kahlo look this past weekend complete with the beribboned braids for all the Cinco de Mayo parties wearing Port Red. What Fun! I can already tell that I’m going to “Sail Through” the three tubes I have.

It’s not as warm as what I’d call a “Fire Engine” red. It’s just perfect, especially, if your into pulling off a vintage look.


WARNING: Remember this shade Port Red when the Neo Sci-Fi collection comes out – it will come in handy….trust!
I saw the MAC Face charts for this upcoming collection you are all going to “Keel Over” flat! You read me? Just sayin’!

Sorry for all the Nautical puns, obviously, I’m not quite over this collection just yet…Summer hasn’t even begun!

Port Red! I don't have QS, but from all the pics and swatches I saw (and, of course, the actual l/s) I thought the color to be too heavy for my light coloring. There's just something about PR that works!

Red Enriched Cremestick liner. Seriously, with just clear lipglass over it to allow the gold pearl in it to show off and do its thing.

I am just waiting for my Port Red to arrive, but I'm interested in the comparison as well!

I have 2 x Queens Sin, wondering if maybe I should do the same with Port Red???


LOL - I just got Red Enriched, now I will be ready to go when the PR arrives

Re: Naughty Nauticals Discussion

lol @ specktra turning all of you guys's port red abbreviations into page ranking. tee hee. "girl whats that color on your lips? just a little page ranking"

im so dumb

Anywho....I had a feeling I wouldnt be feeling this collection guys. I'm not a fan of blues, or buying full sized pigments. Sooooo all I had to depend on was the lips. And they sucked. I returned party mate (agree with whoever said its not a sheer midtone pink) And I wish I returned bateaux and ensign as well. This collection is so...blah to me. I just want it to be over lol.

Don't you worry in the least bit my beautiful friend...cuz trust me when I tell you that you've got much bigger fish to fry if you decide to consider the upcoming collections - i.e., The Solar Bits Piggies, Neo Sci-Fi Lippies, The Nordstrom's anniversary collection for starters!

Never feel remorse if it doesn’t work for you something will come along that will and you’ll be very pleased when it does.

See, I'm the exact opposite! Y'all have talked me into Illegal Cargo and probably Ensign, too. Off to MAC tomorrow! Gotta wear something fabulous on the eyes and lips to graduation, everything else is covered by a gown (oh, except the feet...got some hot new shoes, too!)

Re: Naughty Nauticals Discussion

I received my NN lippies yesterday. Love knot is kind of difficult for me to wear. Bateaux isn't nearly as copper-gold as I hoped it would be. Party Mate is really pretty and a definite keeper.

Port Red is the cat's PJs though. This color is so much better on me than Queens Sin. Less metallic and a more subtle shine. I think I have finally found my true red listick. This looks so flattering on and doesn't overwhelm my face like a lot of reds do. Love, love, love it.

Oh trust me I'm not upset at all. I'm a picky person. Picky with food, shoes, you name it. I'm glad that I'm picky with makeup too. there are some things I just don't like. And I'm not one of the addicts that have to get something "just because" (yet, anyways). I know that some collections work for some people, and don't for others. I'm glad I didn't like this. If I liked every collection I would be a very poor pretty girl

I'm already scared for neo sci fi. I have at least 10 things I want. AND tendertones !

Re: Naughty Nauticals Discussion

Weird question.... did anyone who buy a Lark About get one with a "Golden Lemon" sticker on the bottom? I just opened mine from the box, bought it from my counter, and yeh, thats the sticker on the bottom.
