MAC x Ruffian (June 2012) Discussion

[Spanky]

i would say that russian red is my HG red lippie i just love it from minute i put it on my husband tho, LOVES red racer he calls it "culo red"  translation "ass" red said its my hooker lipstick  its the only lipstick he has ever noticed ive worn 

Haha that's funny. I'm pretty sure my man feels that way about every red. Lol

LOLs! I think most men are pretty attracted to a red lip no matter if it's blue, green, black based, they are kind of clueless about that kind of stuff. They just see a red lip coming there way & the hormones kick in. Plus, I think most red lippie hos like myself carry themselves in a confident manner. In a way it's good the subtle nuiances of color differences because than my DH doesn't think 'she bought another damn red lipstick'. Any time I wear a crazy, loud red my hubby says 'Ruby Woo?', I don't have the heart to say 'no'. Ruffian Red is the first he's noticed the difference in lately.

Can't wait to see pics! The older I get the more I want a pet.... I'll probably end up as a crazy cat lady one day, LOL.

Ain't nothing wrong with kitty love girl. I got a cat when I was living on my own & working stupid long hours. I never had a cat, but thought that would be the perfect pet for me because of their independence. It was truly life changing to have a pet that was my own. It's different when they rely on ur parents to take care of them because the bond with u as the primary caretaker is such so strong. He's my first true love & I don't know if I'd be here today because he helped me through life altering, horrendous times in my life. My hubby was not a cat person & my hubs fell for him when were dating. I can remember the moment it happened. Hubs was lying on the couch & when I came out of the bathroom kitty was lying on him purring...true love ever since! good thing too because I couldn't have someone in my life that didn't love my baby. I hope one day we'll be able to add another, compatible fuzzy to the family. & when the time is right I hope u get a great companion as well!

[quote name="honey on boost" Here's my side by side swatch with YPA & RN. My lighting is bad.. hope this helps. YPA has a little more pink in it imo. 3N, YPA, RN, VG2 [/quote] Ohh! VG2 is pretty! Ur arm is darker than my face. Is this a kind of bolder nude??? I can't find a suitable nude for me, because I've been wearing BOLD LS since middle school. I got Razzledazzler & I hate it on me! Too light for my paleness. Now after seeing Bee's swatches I'm going to have to try on Lady Danger. Damn u enablers!

here's what i described in my post above: ruffian gold over i love winter ls. im a big fan of this combo! fyi, the only other makeup i have on is bare study paint pot all over my lids and crease and UD baked e/l on eyes, and laura mercier mascara. i thought that would go with the shimmery gold look. 

Thanks for this picture LilyGreen. Great combo, thanks for posting. This looks sp pretty on you. I've yet to try on my RG, but I have I Love Winter & I love it.

I wore Naked again today... i would say it leans more pinkish...definitely not brown...

RN looks beautiful on u Lisa, but than again it has a great canvas to work with! I'm glad u like it, I know u were anxious about it!

 

[Spanky]

Ruffian Red and Ruffian Gold are gorgeous!! I got them today and was playing around with them. I love Ruffian Red!! It glides on like a Amplified Creme! It is so creamy that I'm actually thinking about getting a BU of it. As for Ruffian Gold, it is pretty for layering. Will have to try it with my other red lipsticks as well as my hot pink lippies.

I agree with creaminess factor of RR. I really liked the consistency of it! Glad u like the RR & weren't u hesitant about red lippies a few months ago???

nice pic lily green! i'm loving layering ruffian gold with other lippies...today i'm wearing it mixed up with peace mirror shine by 17...i find using a lipbrush too finicky for me on a daily basis, so i've just been applying the gold first, adding a lipstick and smooshing it about.

Now I am getting very impatient. There was some sort of delay with UPS, and I won't be getting my black box for this collection until Monday.

RN looks beautiful on u Lisa, but than again it has a great canvas to work with!

Spanky, I love how you said that!

Yes I was hesitant about red lippies months ago and now I feel comfortable with red lipsticks now thanks to you. You help me boost my confidence to wear red lippies!

Hilarious! I always love it when men try to act/fake/try like they know what they're talking about when it comes to girl things. Its always funny. We had a thread about it awhile back that was totally funny.

I'm wondering, how do you know when you've found your HG/Holy Grail red? Or any other HG product for that matter? What makes it perfect? I only have a few red lipsticks, and I think they all look good on me and compliment me. But how do I know if I may have already found my HG red and haven't realized it? Or is it just one of those "you'll know it when you find it" type of things? Lol, I hope my question makes sense! I'm curious to hear from everyone.

For me, a HG lipstick can be worn in most situations, from mundane to special occasions. I felt I put my best face forward when I use R1. I can imagine myself wearing it decades from now. HGs usually have a background story attached, like the first time worn and how it makes you beautiful and confident. You cannot place a price on a HG. If you buy it at WalMart, you feel that it's worth much more. If you got it at Saks, it is a small price to pay for a treasure. Hope this helps you.

Maneater, Amen on Eden Rouge! love ur name! Just got ER at my CCO. I was glad to see I got it at a small discount because it's being repromoted this year. Wondering if I should get a BU with all these reds being released this year (yeah Marilyn!). It's my first mattene & it's awesome!!! I wasn't so sure about Ruffian Red, because it's hard to tell with the lighting in my house. I was crestfallen, honestly, but I just tried on during the day & I think I like it! Anyone using a LL with it? Which one? I don't know if I have HG red yet, but I love my Ruby Woo & Kanga Rouge. I have 2 Runaway Reds & I tried it on once & didn't like it so much. So if anyone's interested PM me.

Eden Rouge is amazing. I've been dying for Kanga Rouge.

I know some people were wondering if Lady Danger looks like Ruffian Red but they are totally different. Lady Danger looks orange when swatched on the back of a hand but it is a bold, fire engine red once applied to the lips and it's semi-orange based. Ruffian Red is more of a sexy red w/ hints of blue in it (on my lips) but not a lot though. It's a true red. Below is a picture of Lady Danger on my lips. It's definitely not for the gals who don't like bold lippies... this is a hot color for the summer and I've sold this to many gals.. they love it and so do I !





Here's what Ruffian Red looks like on me:

Wish I was closer to my CCO because I could c if they still have one, but its quite far from my house. Do u have one near u? If so, u may want to give them a call & c if they have it. I'm not sure how many times they've released KR but I was able to get it in those Holiday Lip bags w/ a lipglass & mini NP.

Well, hubby does tell me what works & what doesn't so that is good. & he means the Ruby Woo comment in a very sincere, sweet way because he knows I'm having a flare up of MU obsession. My new love is HLs so he said to me last week 'ur HL looks really nice on you' (at least he has good taste, as I was wearing Superb
