I am unsure if i'm going to bother now i know it's pretty much the the same as Rebel. Same with RiRi Boy i really thought the retro matte formula would really make them pop but it doesn't make much difference and not sure if the dryness is worth it just for that.

It's the same as Rebel? I love Rebel but I may as well skip and save the money and hassle.
Thanks love!

Take a look here: http://www.temptalia.com/mac-heaux-lipstick-review-photos-swatches I know T's swatches are a bit off but she has them side by side on her lips and they still look the same so it doesn't matter about so much about her camera/lighting set up

Have you noticed any changes now? If you want something similarish you could try a vitamin C serum. I use one from Balance Active Formula and it's pretty good! Incidentally they also do a hyaluronic acid serum I've been using for a while and it's good too. Both are cheap as chips and can be found in Savers. I think Sali Hughes recommended them somewhere.I have to admit I'm not sure I notice anything in regards to the Pepta Bright, but I don't think my skin tone is that uneven and I don't think I have much scarring anyway if any. Everything combined though has really helped to get rid of this spot so I'm happy. I have these under the skin ish spots, I think they're called Milia but I'm not sure if that's exactly what they are which is apparently when the area is really dry/dehydrated. I unfortunately get them on my chin/sides of my mouth which just looks awful. I was hoping the Hydraluron and moisturisers etc would help to get rid of them but I think it's going to end up being a case of having them removed and then really trying to keep the area well moisturised.
EDIT: After just deciding to research it some more... it seems the Milia I seem to get could be because of my liver problems.
Oh really? Mine turns a very dark blue red on me -- I'll have to use it soon and show pics, it's gorgeous. I just love it. I probably really should get a liner though to use with it.
Nope, I didn't! I'm really disappointed. I don't think they sent it with a courier - I think they sent it with Royal Mail. I didn't get a tracking number and I tell ya what if they've sent it via RM and I've paid £4.95 I'm gonna be calling and complaining. There is absolutely no damn reason 3 items should cost £4.95 to ship with RM if it isn't tracked -- that's outrageous. I'd say try them, if you don't like them, chances are you'll be able to sell them on here without issue.
Ahh yeah -- I hate those titles. I only watch the ones I think will be of use to me or if I'm extremely bored.
I don't know much about milia, I have some small ones under my eyes but they're not that bad and I'm not too bothered about getting them removed. Some people are just prone to getting them and there's not much you can do yourself except maintain a good skincare routine. Have you read Caroline Hirons' milia cheat sheet?
Have you had the liver tests done yet? Hope everything is ok!
Yep, pinky! I have pinky lips so it's no surprise. Easily remedied.
How do you like your All About Orange lipsticks? I must admit I haven't touched mine yet. Didn't pick up the other ones but they're still on Selfridges so I can always order there in future. I think I'll probably order MAC from Selfridges in the future, they're always the best department store on release day and the collect in store option is really handy. If only John Lewis sold MAC!

No worries! I'll be stalking along with you. I saw swatches of Heaux on Temptalia and MUABB the other day and thought of you, it seems like your kind of colour. It looks similar to Rebel but a lot nicer because of the matte finish in my opinion. Have you got Riri/Ruby Woo?
PeachTwist

Haha, yup! You have me pinned down! I LOVE Berry colours. If I could find a really true berry/wine colour that looks just how I want it to on my lips, I'd go BU crazy. I love them. I haven't got Riri/Ruby Woo, but I'm wondering if the difference is big enough to warrant me worrying about getting Riri, if it's not big enough I may as well just get Ruby and save myself the hassle and buy it whenever I want.

Overall my skin feels and looks a lot better, I'm still getting the odd break-out but nothing like it was. I've never heard of Balance Active, where else can you buy it other than Savers? I don't know if I have one!
Oh I have lots of Milia and read her cheat sheet -- I did just go and get my eyebrows waxed yesterday though and had some removed and I did ask about them and if there was any correlation between them and my liver and the girl actually said a lot of mine definitely seem more like liver spots than milia, albeit still having milia as well. Having them removed under/on the eyelid really hurts -- forewarning, the first time I was crying an insane amount as I just couldn't control the tears. Was difficult, lol.
I haven't gotten the tests yet -- they sent me for an ultrasound of my liver on Friday so now I'm just waiting to see if they still want to do the biopsy or not, I keep calling the hospital and the secretary is clearly getting annoyed with me but I'm kinda hoping my calling so frequently will make her want to push him to get answers out to me asap.
The AAO lipsticks are pretty! Which ones did you get again? I posted pics wearing them in the AAO thread, but I'll share them here too if you're curious. I actually prefer Razzledazzler on me the best, 2nd is Flamingo and 3rd is Sweet & Sour -- S&S will take some getting used to! I also LOVE the blushes! Yup, Selfridges is insanely reliable -- I hate their shipping costs but I cannot fault their website, service, or anything else. Everything is always shipped promptly and packaged well/received in good condition. I'll always try Debenhams first for the beauty points but if not, I always go to Selfridges as I know I can rely on them.

It looks like trying to order rihanna on Thursday will be bedlam! I liked the thought of heaux but im sure there will be similar mac colours that I'd prefer in the future, there always are! plus I've found macs mattes very drying, so I dread to think of how drying this retro matt would be! Plus in seeing temptalias swatches, it's not as vampy as I'd want it to be. Knowing me I'll still be stalking the release just for funsies

Seriously after reading the Rihanna thread -- forget it. No chance am I putting myself through all that stress. I can't afford it anyway really so it's just saving me money. A lady on here I've CP'd from before has said if her 2nd order goes through I can have her 2nd Heaux, but if not, I'm not fussed -- I'll live without it. I don't need anymore stress in my life, especially over damn make-up.

I was going to get that one but it looks virtually identical to UTA.

I know it's bedlam over the pond but do you really think the release will be that bad over here? Hoping it's not too bad like the first Rihanna release, Riri Woo stuck around for ages.

Surprisingly, I didn't even know about the first Riri release, I completely missed it so by the time I went to see about it, it had already sold out. I've just had an offer via PM though -- a girl has decided she doesn't want her Heaux and RRB lipsticks so I'm definitely taking Heaux off her. Do you want RRB? I can just have it shipped with Heaux if so and send it to you when they get here, would save the hassle for it unless all you really want is Heaux.
