I know what you mean. Did you get FMP? I know you love your SW it is such an awesome color
I actually just returned my fmp in favor of violetta, looks real close swatched on hand but not on lips. I thought brazen berry from maybeline was a dupe and ehh, sheer. Btw sw and heroine looks very similar, thought a little different, but I love them so much.

On me Strong Woman and Heroine are very different. Strong Woman is much redder - i'm not 100% certain wearing it, but i keep trying because i feel like i need to wear colors i'm not fully comfortable with. Heroine is pinker than i had hoped, but easy to make a little bluer, and fun to play with all sorts of other lipsticks to make ombrés.

The few DS "dupes" i've picked up have either been more sheer or less pigmented than the MACs they're similar to on my lips.

Strong woman is available in goodbyes on mac canada
man now I have to buy a SW BU it because I lost heroine BU...

Should I get another SW or wait for heaux? EDIT: couldn't control myself and bought it! lol

I would buy a few SW to sell for anyone that wants it (keep in mind in CA its 18$ plus tax = 20) but I don't know how the process of selling works lol!

I love both SW and Heroine but I think it would be easier for you to pick up Heaux. Plus it gives you a reason to pick up a new LE lippie. I have b/u to both and I am still picking up heaux

MAC Canada has SW in stock as a "goodbye" thing like mac4megan said so I picked it up hehe...considering the anxiety all of us will have on Tuesday it was probably easier to do this haha. Although I still want RRW and RRB.

I just have this feeling as if we won't be seeing strong woman anytime soon...it's such an underdog to heroine (I feel)
