Goes And Goes is a pretty blued purple and it's still available. They should bring back Martooni and/or Blueberry Fizz. At least once. Come on MAC.
I have a couple of BN BUs of Goes and Goes LS. I'm trying to sell my collection, please PM me if anyone is interested. Thanks.

I'm kinda late to the party on this collection (i heard about the muscle lady, but missed finding this forum). Not much is grabbing me - fortunately, after Glamour Daze / Fabulousness / Guilty Passions.

LIPSTICK
Strong Woman – Bright violet (Matte) - only if it is truly VIOLET and not purple - i have Violetta already, it's more than bright enough for me.
Firm Form – Gilded black with gold pearlized pigments (Matte) - no question here - this is an absolute YES!

And, c'mon, MAC! Make us a truly VIOLET LIP PENCIL!!!

POWDER BLUSH
Taupe Shape – Satiny taupe
Poised – Muted pinkish brown
But i'll have to see if one or both are too dark - i tend to go lightly with my blushes.
Also, i have several very neutral pink blushes already, so i have to see where Poised fits - too dark? too similar?
Finally, I'm not likely to spend the bucks for it, but Chanel Notorious is a grey-taupe contour powder that sounds intriguing. So i wonder how TS will compare to it.

I'm still catching up reading the posts in this forum.

I almost fainted when i saw that picture of Firm Form lipstick. That gilded black is soooo bee-yoo-tee-ful!

What I don't get is considering everyone is always begging for more blue, and Go For It came out years ago now, why MAC doesn't just say what the hell and bring one out. It's not like a matte black with gold lipstick is going to appeal to everyone, so why not an overtly blue purple lipstick? I'm just glad I bu'ed Go For It at the time - it really is one of my all-time favorites and isn't difficult or unflattering to wear at all.
You are so right!

Go For It is the first of only two lip products i have ever backed up, the other is Kissable Lip Colour Flaunting It (grey mauve). I only discovered GFI after it was sold out on MAC on-line and in all the MAC shops. I managed to find two by phoning Nordstrom and they tracked them down and sent them to me. I keep one in my purse at all times.

More blue-violet lipsticks! Bring back Lust! And, dammit, Janet MAC, make us a lavender blue violet lip pencil!!!!

How would you say it compares to Chanel Notorious?

Truly violet lip pencil, that would be awesome.

Only Firm Form and Taupe Shape on my list, a least so far.

Everytime I see Lust lipstick, I literally lust after it.

We need this lippie brought back asap. and a Lavender Blue Violet lip pencil would rock it out of the ball park for me. Yes, MAC, please more Blue (Blue) Violet lippies in the not-to-distant future for us!!!!

Well, shucky darn! I skipped Heroine because i thought it was too plummy (i like plums but i don't need more). So i was really hoping Strong Woman would be bluer.

I'm so behind trying to write a novel in a month. I cannot go through the whole thread. Sorry to ask, but anyone know the exact US release dates?
