I was reorganizing my lipsticks last night (yeah, now TWO boxes for violet, lavender, purple, plum, fuchsia, berry, and maroon lip products), and i pulled out Musky Amethyst - "semi-opaque berry plum with ruby red shimmer" (Semi-Precious coll.). It looks like it almost fills the bill, although it does have shimmer, which i don't mind. It isn't quite black, but it's a VERY DARK red with a hint of blue. Christine of Temptalia said it was sheer, but it's pretty solid on me.

We don't have regular summer where i live, so i wear dark lips whenever i want. Now Musky Amethyst is now back on my radar...

And i'm still working on what stuff to get to blend my own blackened red with a hint of blue lip color.
-- I have some fairly true red lipsticks i can... sacrifice...
-- I have periwinkle blue Butch Lip Tar.
-- I still need a true green - Powerplant OCC Lip Tar is in my shopping cart, but it has shimmer, which i normally like, but not for this experiment...
-- And i need a black - debating whether to get Tarred OCC Lip Tar or MAC Black Lip Mix...

Don't laugh. :-D I'm serious.
Got my box today, immediately put on RiRi. About 5hrs later she's still on and put her on without lip balm. Now if I had tried that with Ruby but added lip balm my lips would look like I haven't had water in days!

Russian Red-don't like. Ronnie looks pinkish while Charmed looks like a deep blue red on me. MAC Red is my HG non matte red.

Does that help?

Your green issue with OCC lip tars....if you have Traffic and Rx then you can mix your own true green easily. I haven't tried MAC lip mix but I know Tarred is one of those blacks that when you use it for mixing it literally takes a tiny bit...less than any other color would take!

Okay guys, I am eating my words. I got my Riri Woo this afternoon and I absolutely adore it! I love the fact that it is bluer than Ruby Woo!

I agree that it is way more comfortable than Ruby Woo. I tried taking pictures of the comparison between Riri and Ruby, but honestly, in pictures you really can't tell like Richelle said but in real life, they look pretty different on me. That goes to show that I judged this lippie too soon. I'm really impressed!
I feel the same way, I'm always spending all my money on LE stuff. There's so many permanent things I want, but I tell myself I can get them any time so I should get the LE things instead. It's happened a few times where I've finally gone to buy something that's permanent that I've wanted for ages only to find that it's been discontinued. I really need to start focusing more on permanent things, especially lipsticks, there are so many I really want, including Lady Danger. Glad you're liking it. Riri Woo looks beautiful on you btw!
I agree! I b2m'd today for So Chaud per Erine's suggestion and I instantly fell in love. I wore it out of the store and couldn't stop looking in the mirror. Why I slept on this lippie, I'll never know.

Awesome VC---enjoy RRW. Glad you're also loving So Chaud. Totally agree that B2M is a great way to get some of the old gems buried in the permanent line.

Riri Woo is whoa! A little dry going on (even over P+P), but once I got it on it was very pinup. It even stayed on through dinner. I didn't take pics b/c I took my daytime lipstick off w/ a tissue and then slapped on RRW so my lips werent perfect. Also, for kicks after applying the lipstick I lined with NYX Hot Red and it works well. This lipstick looks like it would intimidate people. No idea where I'd wear it yet, but I was big cheesy grinnin' in the mirror.
