MAC x Ruffian (June 2012) Discussion

[Genn]

I always have to type ruffian red to get to the lipsticks. I read somewhere that it was available until July 16th I think, something like that. I think thats why it isnt sold out yet.

Bee, you're making me want Lady Danger!! Maybe I should get that one for now since I have to wait until September for Ruffian Red. Sounds like it will be better for summer anyway.

Hope this helps you.

It does, thanks. That's also a really good point about a HG item being both timeless and priceless.

I would definitely recommend Lady Danger over Ruffian Red if you're looking for a summer red. Ruffian Red is one of the reds I'd wear for date night. lol

I was going to order a back up of Ruffian Red sight unseen. I am glad I waited until my order came in. I am not sure I like it.

Red lipsticks were what got me hooked on MAC many years ago and I have purchased just about every single red they come out with. I have a small set that I rotate through on a daily basis (Russian Red, Lady Bug, MAC Red, Lady Danger, VG I, etc). I love them all.

Ruffian Red pulls pink on me. I am disappointed.

Someone above posted about knowing when you have a HG product. I agree with all of the wonderful responses posted. You just know. My HG lipsticks make me feel sexy no matter where I wear them or what I wear them with. They are Lady Danger and Rocker. And I rock the heck out of both of them.

I'm surprised everything is still in stock considering how much publicity this had. Maybe MAC just finally created enough stock for demand

Maybe I'll just get Lady Danger then and consider my red lipstick quota filled for the moment. that means I can try it on at the counter too! Thanks

I still want Ruffian Gold though.

Not to enable you, but Ruffian Red isn't remotely like Lady Danger and I would wear either/both during the summer. It might be ridiculously hot here, but I wore Ruffian Red to work twice this week. I dabbed it on and blotted (twice), and it definitely wasn't too much, particularly since I kept the rest of my makeup light and neutral. I agree that Ruffian Red will look fabulous in the winter and for evening, but I think it's a bright enough red to wear during the summer as well (unlike my other red, VG1). It just depends what you wear it with and how heavily.

They're both gorgeous.

It's hard to find online; I can't even pull it up by searching for Ruffian Red (at least on the Canadian site). If they make it hard enough to buy, it might actually last until the end of the promotion.

Thanks for clarifying! I wasn't sure that they were dupes or anything, I already have quite a lot of wintery red lipsticks though so I was sort of thinking I'd only buy this one if it was a specifically summery orangey red that I am looking for, but if Lady Danger works better then I'd rather get that one because it's permanent... I'll probably get that one soon and Ruffian when it's available in the UK in a couple of months anyway. I really can't resist a good red

I tried Ruffian Red with Cherry lip liner for my going-out look

Cherry l/l definitely made RR more blue-based. I think next time I wear it I will try it with Redd, or maybe I'll buy Brick one of these days. I used a little bit of Vanilla pigment in the center and topped with a clear lip gloss.


I'm shocked too that the Ruffian lipsticks haven't sold out!

 

[Carriee]

Duckrodeo that lipstick looks amazing on you!

 

[OctoberViolet]

Gorgeous duckrodeo!!!! Love Ruffian Red on you. I need to wear mine soon. I don't think it will look half as good on me as it does you though.

agreed. Did they do this on purpose? mac should do that with all collections so that I have time to look at swatches and decide what i want before i see the huge SOLD OUT

 

[aradhana]

I found the page for ruffian super annoying actually...it was a lot easier to purchase the lipsticks by doing searches for their names than clicking on the link at the left where all the collection names were....the ruffian page looked cool, but it was better for looking at pics and videos than actual shopping!

 

[badassSENORiTA]

I kept telling myself I was skipping the collection but I gave in and bought the Ruffian Red and Gold lipsticks,
have a feeling I should've bought a backup of the red at least

I must get a Cherry lip liner.

Probably with the Marilyn Monroe collection if I can wait very long.

Duckrodeo, you have perfect lips.
