Have you mixed DR with a black lipstick to try to get the look in the promo ad?

I wore Dark Room yesterday and really ended up liking it on me. Between this and Fashion Revival, I feel like I can completely skip whatever that burgundy is in the Nasty Gal collection.

Well I made a second order last week for By Starlight, Blow and that burgundy lipstick (@cocotears, you're definiteyly not alone. I don't want to say the name anymore). About 24 hours after that I decided to change my order to just By Starlight because I was really turned off by the name of one lipstick and couldn't imagine Blow looking good on me and wondered if I would ever wear it. I thought they got my request for my order change and didn't think twice about it. Almost a week went by and I didn't hear anything back until Thursday evening. They gave me my tracking number and said that I should expect my package tomorrow (Friday). I was elated! The box never showed up because I have a jacked up usps deliverer who lied and said that I wasn't home. So I had to pick it up today. When I got the box and opened it up I was surprised to see all three of the lipsticks I originally ordered were apart of this order dispite my request to change it. Crazy enough, this made me gitty because really...MELT gets me all gitty and excited.
I just tried on all three lipsticks and let me just say that By Starlight.... HAS ME OVER THE MOON AND BACK!!!! UGH!!! I realllllly love that color. Its my favorite purple thus far! It beats out Heroine in my opinion. I can make is close to a dark purple almost like Punk Couture if I'd like. But with only 1 maybe 2 coats at the most is when is SHINES for me!!!. GORGEOUS!
Blow surprisingly is a second runner up. It is beautiful and I actually plan on wearing it instead of having it collect dust. It brings out the shape of my lips beautifully. and when I had a black liner to it...it just goes to a whole other level of beauty
The burgundy lipstick (lol) was a pretty lipstick to. It does look like the some others in my stash like Diva. Would I have been upset if they actually left this one out of my order...no. But the formula of MELT lipsticks and how comfortable they are when worn is undeniable. I'll probably wear this one of my other lipsticks in this color just because of the formula. I have not tried any NARS Audacious lipsticks but so far... MELT is my favorite lipstick formula for sure. I will make another order around Black Friday when hopefully they will advertise free shipping.
MELT makes me happy

So after reading the thread and the comments about people's DGAF I went and took a second look at mine, I had opened it and swatched so quickly I didn't examine it too thoroughly, had surgery this week so I set aside most of my new packages for later, I just thought wow gorgeous...and it is, but looking at it again, after seeing pictures of it on Amy(from Sugarpill) mine definitely does not look like the bright blue like the original. It is more of a very purple-based blue- a gorgeous one, it really is, but definitely not that bright blue...so now I am torn, it is really pretty but it's not the bright blue I was expecting. I wonder if there was a change in the formula?

I did not get DGAF but I have seen it on others and it looks pretty. It's a color that is not for everyone, myself included. However, if you like it, I say keep it. I would call Melt though and tell them that what you received is not what you expected or had seen advertised. Based on the other comments in this thread your complaint will not be foreign to them. Keep us posted.

Thanks. I think I will email them and let them know. I do think the color is really pretty though and will keep it. I just think it definitely is *not* what I was expecting.

I'm sorry, but i don't see it as purple. I definitely see the purple base, but calling it completely purple, i just don't see it. :shrugs: Not sure if this will help anyone, but here's my DGAF from the first batch for reference.sorry ignore the eyeliner swatches butttt I think my DGAF is purple to me. You can definitely see the purple base as it fades out. I love the colour but it's just not what I was expecting :/

This is the DGAF I think most of us were expecting that Amy is wearing here http://instagram.com/p/vbTAaURRP_/?modal=true The color @erine1881 is more purple based blue to me as well though....and it certainly doesn't look the same as the one in the picture above. I know mine isn't purple, its blue, but it's not the blue I am seeing in Melt's pictures, I think that's where some are a bit confused, and some seem even more purple, which of course our skin tones(and lighting) can affect the color also.

So maybe this is basically what it does look like, but then what's with the super bright blue ones being seen on people like Amy and the Melt models and such. Even people on instagram are posting their lipsticks look nothing like the one Amy is wearing and are disappointed.

I wonder if the promo ad for Melt mentions that DGAF is mixed with another color. Just a thought.
