I had the same experience. I find that Dubonnet is very slippery too. Is that unusual for Amplified lipsticks?

There's no way I'm going through all that mess :lol: I'd just wear the real Heaux or DfD.

Hey look what just came across my Pinterest, what a coincidence. We talked about looking for a mattifying top coat. I think it was in the early buzz thread when we found out Heaux was going to be Cremesheen. [@]MissElle12[/@] [@]Vandekamp[/@]...forgot who else was in that convo. http://m.kohls.com/product/prd-1862148/cargo-matte-top-coat-lipstick.jsp?crlt.pid=camp.x7QbJvC7f0LC Ulta has it online only. Not sure why it didn't come up when I searched back then because it looks like it came out about a year ago. http://shaunehayesmakeup.com/blog/2015/04/cargo-matte-top-coat/:

Yeah, faux heaux is a no-go! I raved about it when I first received it, but the formula is too damn thin and slick! I love a good cremesheen, and recently purchased 2 other amplified lipsticks so I have no issue with shiny finishes. But this one is different. Adore the color, but it's a waste for me.

I almost never wear the faux Heaux either. I hate the name. Am I the only one? I will use it to help stretch the life of the RiRi Heaux.

My Faux Heaux is just sitting there... Doing nothing... Been tempted to wear it... But not for meals, would rather mix it with something and blot it down. Such a shame

Hmmmm. I wore mine the other day and mine isn't thin at all. It lasted on me the whole damn day. I was actually impressed by how well it wore on me for a cremesheen. That said, I don't own OG Heaux so perhaps my expectations weren't held to such a high order lol. Tarababyz was destashing the other day and was selling her OG Heaux and Riri Boy BNIB on IG for $20-24. I was so mad that I didn't see the post before.

Mac should have brought Heaux back as a Viva Glam lipstick in a retro matte formula. They would not be able to keep it in stock. Here is a great deal for anyone who missed RiRi Heaux and RiRi Boy the first time. Lol. Leave it to a greedy shark on EBay to help ladies out. It amounts to almost $100 a lipstick. How do these folks sleep at night? On silk sheets I'm sure. Lol. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rihanna-HEARTS-Mac-All-3-Lipsticks-from-Summer-Collection-/291605867035

That is a great deal. Here's a better deal on eBay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rihanna-HEARTS-Mac-All-3-Lipsticks-from-Summer-Collection-/291605867035?hash=item43e5106a1b:g:34UAAOSwlaxWN31n

These resellers are ridiculous! However, I blame the people that actually buy from them. If people weren't willing to shell out stupid amounts for a $16 lipstick, there wouldn't be a market for such highway robbery!

I got my set from someone on eBay, the price wasn't as bad ($200 excluding postage to Britain). She even sort out PB and BGRR for me as well, along with a few other lipsticks that tickled my fancy (WW Heroine and Go For It). Don't know if she's still on eBay, but she was really helpful. The sellers of the RiRi lipsticks over here tend to extort, one lady was selling Heaux for something stupid (£300+) a few months back.

WTF???? That is about $600 USD. I am sure you put an EXTRA zero in there, Marsha.

Didn't add an extra zero at all. Don't even know if it got sold in the end... Which I highly doubt.
The $200 was for the 3 RiRi lipsticks I ordered from your side of the pond recently. Had to haggle until I was blue in the face.I still say it's a Cremesheen. She said $200...so that is USD I'm guessing
