Get on it! I think it's a reflex because I use Heroine with RRB too...

I always wear Heroine with RRB. It is such a beautiful combination.

I went into Macy's earlier today and swatched a few of the lippies. Was disappointed they didn't get Tropic Tonic in. The SA took my number down and said he would give me a call when it came in. But I did B2M for Antique Velvet and Persistence. Here are the swatches I took at Macy's - I'm C4 in Mac's Studio Fix for skin reference.

Antique Velvet looks really brown in your swatch. I am certain it would not work for me.

Okay, I ended up with: - Dangerous - All Fired Up - Matte Royal - Instigator - Please Me - Whirl - Kinda Sexy - Men Love Mystery - Stone - Tropic Tonic - Steady Going - Runway Hit - Flat Out Fabulous I love mattes, they're so opaque and long lasting, but I wear a lot of Chapstick underneath and frequently gloss on top. So I guess I like assembly lines more than matte as a thing. Not that I always gloss the top. Anyway, lmk if you want any more comparison swatches. MR is a purple on my skin, DEF not a blue. MLM is a lot like amp it up. Instigator is way more berry than purple, and not as dark as it seems in the tube, which I love. Dangerous is similar to lady danger, which is like my favorite lipstick of all freaking time. FOF looks like Hollywood cerise a little. Idk lots of things. TrTo is totes coral, and my chromagraphic Orange pencil that I ordered like three months ago finally showed up, so I'm excited to try them together.

Holy cow, Batman. I think you purchased the entire collection. Good for you.

What liner did u use with Sushi Kiss? I had seen a few gorgeous pics on here and on IG of woc around the NW45/NC50 range wear SK with a brown liner. I cant remember if it was Cork, Chestnut, or some another one.

Only tried it once. Goes perfect with Fruit Cocktail but the lipstick itself is not applying nicely. Patchy. I've said I think it was the balm under my primer so I'll try again. Thx...I would have never thought of those two liners to pair it with.

I just picked up Tropic Tonic and D for Danger at Macy's n couldn't wait to play with DFD! Now it's a very Heauxish color but I don't believe its Heaux resurrected lol D is redder and of course less matte being a standard matte and H being a retro matte... The two are definitely sisters!!! Here is a pic from a H&M dressing room ️

Gorgeous.

Nice, thanks. I need to check out the others I didn't see today. You just reminded me that I swatched Pink Pigeon (and No Faux Pas) at my CCO yesterday. NW45

Looks amazing on you!!!! So glad I took the plunge and ordered it with no swatches! Even when I opened the package I was like, eh, idk, it's not bright. But then I swatched it and it was AWESOME!!

I hope my husband doesn't know how many things were in that box!!!!!! Not that he's paying or anything, but I'm always like "let's eat that old ham in the fridge, we don't have money to go to the grocery store" and such luckily all of the women in his family and one of the guys are SO on my side.

Oh that sucks.

I'm going to go back and try it with a liner. If I like it I'll B2M it.

U know wut!? Persistence honestly looks more like the actual Whirl lip liner haha... On my hand it had a more pink base than Whirl lipstick... Jut a thought for those disappointed with Whirl lipstick!

I agree with you,

I still love Whirl lipstick but Persistence with Whirl or Boldly Bare is so pretty!
Whirl is beautiful with Boldly Bare. Initially I tried Persistence it
turned a funky orangey color YUCK, I pulled out my BB liner & it was on like popcorn yall!
I am very happy with all the ones I brought, Dis for Danger, Whirl & Persistence, liner makes a difference.

I know! And since the Mac store did it, I was really annoyed at Macy's. They told me it wasn't "fair" to give free ones away when other customers didn't have a chance to buy. Well, it was 1pm, so they had all morning. And B2M isn't really free; I paid for 6 items to trade in. So I just drove a little bit and bought mine from a Mac store that was more than happy to take my empties.

I'm sad, went to a different macys for a change and got denied my b2m, called the mac store in the mall and was told no for 2 weeks too! Boooo now I'll have to call around tomorrow in my normal area and ask around.....
