[Shellcat]

[Shellcat]

It sure does!

Great for my business! LOL!

Just got my Ruffian Red lippie!

On me, it's not as blue as I thought, but not real warm/tomato either. It leans more blue though than orange on me. I have really pigmented lips. It really makes your teeth look white

YAY! My BUs of Ruffian Red and Gold shipped. I ordered them earlier today along with See Sheer and Saint Germain lipsticks (how'd those get in there?!). I got overnight shipping, so I hope my black box arrives tomorrow.

 

[iheartangE]

So I ordered the Gold and the Naked lipsticks because I literally own 20+ red lipsticks already and most of them are MAC.

...Now I am regretting skipping out on Ruffian Red. But like, there are going to be several un-passable red lippies in Marilyn, right? So it's stupid for me to order it, ESPECIALLY considering that since the collection is online-only, I can't wear it to work?

Right?

...right?!

(I did order the red, black, and white manicure just because...I can't wait to take them nails for a test drive on my next girls' night out!)

I just returned home & received my black box!

YES! So super excited.

I only swatched Ruffian Red on my arm because I was hot & uncomfortable. It looks almost tomato red on my skin. I'm not upset at all. It also looks bright, but not an "in your face" type of bright. Morange is a great looking orange lippie. I had to put them in my freezer for a bit, they were sweaty (yuck!). I do have some buyers remorse for not getting the gold, but I have soooo many lippies right now and I know I'll be buying a ton more with the upcoming collections, so I will hold off on the gold. Happy hauling!!!

It looks beautifulon you Nudibelle! Work it!

I had free overnight shipping and its on a truck to be delivered, but because of the floods here in Minnesota I am not able to get my package.   I want my Ruffian!!! But I understand its pretty crazy here, Animals escaped from the zoo, cars are underwater. 

I am sorry to hear about the wait on ur LS, but all that matters is that you, your family & friends are safe and well. I saw the story on the news and was shocked! You will be in my thoughts! So sad to hear about the zoo animals. This whole situation is heartbreaking!

Got Gold and Red, and I figured that Gold would not show well with my smartphone. But I was quite curious about the Red and how it compare to the red lipsticks I have. I swatched Red with Cle De Peau's R1 (my HG lipstick) and Red Racer. I am glad that R1 is more berry-looking, which means I did not spent money on a dupe. Ruffian seems tomato-like on me. Racer and Ruffian seemed similar. Maybe you see some difference... anyone?

 

[Spanky]

had to pay 5 bucks shipping to get gold and red. I hate paying for shipping! damn! lol but i am saving money cos now i got a puppy and I spent like 2000 bucks in her and supplies :/ all the MAC..... i missed on but all the love i'm getting

Piarpeet, Contests on ur furbaby! What type dog dog did u get? Male or female? How old? Picture??? Congrats & enjoy!

I hear ya! It's the only thing that interests me in this collection. After seeing multiple swatches, i think it's sort of the lipstick equivalent of Genuine Treasure Paint Pot. I really really wish i had a BU of that! But i've hit "Broke", so i won't be getting it

unless it's still around when i get a few extra $$, and i think that's seriously unlikely.

I just ordered the Gold ls

I think it might look gorgeous over Up the Amp, Rebel, maybe Girl About Town. Hope so

Is anyone else experiencing glitter fall out from RG? It's fine on, but as it wears away glitter is left on the lips. I thought I'd done a pretty thorough job washing my face last night (Clinique cream cleanser to remove most of makeup, liquid facial soap, toner, serum, turnaround night cream. Shower this morning, liquid face soap, toner, moisturizer, primer, foundation....and then I saw some very very fine glitter in the foundation. I don't know what else it could be from; they're tiny little buggers and they don't really want to come off.

I'll be careful to use makeup remover on my lips from now on. I tried RG when I got home from work and now that it's worn off, I'm seeing some microscopic glitter on the skin above my upper lip and around the sides of my mouth.

I still love the lippie, but I need to find a better way to remove the traces. Has anyone else had this or have evil glitter fairies moved in?

Red Racer has a subtle pinkness to it. They look similar but Red Racer is more strawberry-ish.

Thanks for the input. I did not have the ability to describe the difference between Racer and Ruffian. Maybe I should examine them tomorrow on a sunny day.

I was quite disappointed with Gold. I wanted a more opaque version. It's great for layering but I wanted to wear gold by itself.

 

[Piarpreet]

OMG this is so damn sexy!!!! i cant wait to try them together!!!!! :O

yea i know where you're coming from. I was initially going to skip this collection because i saw Gold was sheer and i had wanted it to look like liquid gold on my lips, but seeing it layered i just wouldnt feel right if i missed out
