Sheeeeeet, in that case I'll just go put on Açai or something and eat some KFC :rofl: Of course this is not to knock those who like this finish. It's just not for me. I either need super matte or super shiny, I can't do in between.
Don't forget Nyx's Aria.

Got both my lipsticks ( heaux and RR) !! Heaux feels a tad too creamy but it could be because of spending the whole day inside the UPS truck!! But I LOVEEEEE Royally Rioutious!! It's a nice warm pink brown on me!! Not brown brown at all!!! It's gorgeous!! I will post some searches tomm!! It's pretty late for good lighting!!! Edit: sloppy try on!!

Lip swatch and comparison. I'm going to hold out on a full review. It is way too creamy right now but it's possible that's just because it's soft from the UPS truck. We'll see.
Oh and do you find it more like a creamsheen or amp? I know you're holding off before you do your full review. But your first impression?

I just received my heaux lipstick. Its cool. I don't hate it. Its very creamy and glossy on the lips which is nice but I do prefer a matte finish. I put it in the refrigerator just to see if it needed to settle into its true formula form. But if it doesn't I am not going to keep it. I am starting to get real picky with what I have in my lipstick collection now. No time or money should be wasted on colors that I wont want to pick up. Now DfD.. MAC did their thing with that one. That was a winner is my book. The color is so saturated and smooth. I love Heaux with herione liner but by itself... I would have to say DfD wins. @montREALady you should definitely at least try DfD. Its a nice dupe for Heaux but with just enough of a difference to appericate it for its own beauty IMO.
Shoot! After all this talk I'm wanting a bu! Wish it would just release in Canada already!

I just opened my new Heaux and was a bit surprised to see it has sparkle/shimmer to it? Not heavy but it's not a flat colour by any means
Really? It wasn't because it was sweating from the heat? Mine is glossy looking but no shimmer...
Mine has shimmer in the bullet too! I haven't swatched it yet though.
I actually agree. Upon closer inspection, especially on my lips over ozone lip primer pencil, it does appear there may be micro shimmer. Consequently, ozone lining & filling seems to mattify it a little bit. At least on me.

I'll look again tomorrow in better lighting. That Ozone stuff I think it messed up my lips! My bottom lip in the middle looks like it was burned ...likely some reaction. The last time it happened to me was when I used Blistex lip balm when I was younger.

I was seriously thinking about returning it! I thought I was cray! I'll see tomorrow after it's been in the fridge. I'm going to get DfD. Or at least swatch it. Thx.

Yikes! Then definitely stay away. I just got it today because 20% off at Ulta, and I had points. I liked it for this, but time will tell. It does make this lippie feel more 'tight' if that makes sense.

I got a deluxe sample once in my Ipsy Glam Bag and decided to finally try it and I liked how it worked...until that happened. I started back using the MAC one and it's pretty much the same.

Heaux 2.0 is nice,but I'm not in love. I'm wearing it now whilst out with friends and am feeling kind of meh about it.

I just want to take a moment to say that there were several people who started petitions not just me to bring back Heaux it actually happened. I think that's amazing. I know everybody's not crazy about the finish but it just goes to show what people can do when they really want something and love a product.

I finally got my heaux today I too noticed the sparkles on the lipstick itself which kinda reminds me of the cremesheen pearl but less sparkly? Lol DFD for some reason comes off more plum berry on me which reminds me of rebel/fashion revival/acai, all a little different but similar on me. This heaux leans more red/pink berry on me which I like

Good to hear. I only picked up DfD and TT from the Matte collection. Absolutely LOVE DfD.

Me too. Mine is in the fridge until tomorrow for me to try again. I won't return it I don't think but it won't be one I'll use often. Let's see it on!

I don't know what the creamsheen pearl finish is like but I definitely find this to be more of a creamsheen than amplified.

I edited my post with pics wearing them.
Thank you for editing you post, it looks amazing... But it's just not the same, I think it's the finish.
And the winner is....................OG Heaux. :stars:
THIS. I'm waiting for my 'Cremesheen' Heaux to get here. I think I'll use that, just to keep OG away from use
L-R Heaux 2.0, OH Heaux, D for Danger

Sorry about the lighting,I've lost the natural light.
Thank you for the swatches

PM me... Everyone is looking hot in Heaux, no matter the finish. Might as well get another one or 2. I really don't want to use my OG unless it's a special occasion
