I'm sure this will be a themesong for many of us... Right, Pinkdollface?

Haha now it is! Since mac doesn't do a bright purple in the matte formula often (did they ever before?) i didn't want to take the risk.

Nope, I don't have it. I don't even dare to buy a colour like tat, LOL, I don't even wear reds. I feel darker l/s are unflattering on me for a couple of reasons, one is me having red-ish brown hair and freckles, I feel like some colours, like purple, look weird with that. So I stick with a very natural look most of the time. Maybe I'll try a purple lippe one day.

Tried my Pink Popcorn today and I love it - received lots of compliments!

STILL waiting on that messed up order to arrive so I can request the refund and order Duo #3.  I'm getting really impatient now.

Thanx for the compliments girls. If you dont have heroine and you think u'll have fun with it go for it. I cat wait to go out at night to wear it out :P

BTW I got pink cult again (I depotted the one i got initially back in 2011 and it broke so.... i gave up on fixing it). I cant wait to try it but im having a blush crush with launch away so... im gonna wait :)

I dunno but i dont like the eye look. I think that's what it is. Me and dark blue shadows JUST DONT GO TOGETHER :/ I took heroine off (first thing i remove when im removing my make up) and I didnt like it even without heroine. It might not be the lippie but I feel that either a pin up or a matte smokey with nehru or just a smoked out liner with 2 coats of mascara might work better. 

 

What happens when u hate dark blue????? I can't like it!

 

I got the blue flame MES, I got blue sheen MES, I got Lunar..... Just to "collect" and it turns out I cant werq it! 

IT is pretty on you, but I totally understand how you feel about blue.  I collect and don't wear them either.

Just had to pop back in and say how much I LOVE Watch Me Simmer....  No seriously, LOVE!

I'm out of town for a few days working, and I don't have this duo with me... So Sorry!

But here is T's link to swatches and reviews of these duos.  Her swatches of Duo 3 are pretty good.  Although, I personally think their pigmentation is even better than they come across on her swatches.  http://www.temptalia.com/mac-reel-sexy-eyeshadow-duos-reviews-photos-swatches  HTH!  If you still want me to swatch for you, I'd be happy to when I get back into town early next week.

I bought heroine on a whim, and finally tried it on this weekend.  I just got it a few weeks ago, but it is also gorgeous.  reminds me a lil of the very first Mac lipstick I bought and wore to Prom.  AWWW LOL

It looks ok, not convincing though; maybe I should leave it to that ( i feel like i have something similar with the first color and the second is not something i wear often)

I can still get it, just send me a pm if you want me to get it for you:)

I'm wearing RS today, and it really is far from a neon on me. Quite neutral in fact. I did use the dab & smoosh method but I don't think that is the reason. I usually have problems with light corals because they are lighter than my lips, but this one evens out nicely.
 

I'm *still* waiting on my replacement order which I'll then have to return and re-order the correct item.  The lust for Duo 3 is wearing off with all this hassle.  :(

You will feel better when you get it. It's a great duo!

Well it arrived.

They've let me keep the incorrect item and are processing a refund which will take up to 5 working days to go back into my account.  Funny how quickly it comes out of your account and how long it takes to go back in, lol.

So now I have Dynamic Duo 2 and I'll be re-ordering Dynamic Duo 3 when it gets refunded.

I love RS.  It is like Jazzed but the finish is infinitely better.  Maybe like Jazzed on steroids.

I would love to get one of those Duo e/s but the pairings seem odd to me.  And I cannot do an eye without three colors--brow/lid, crease and V.  Its like sacrelige.  Maybe if they came out with some holy trinity e/s I would be all on that.  MAC, are you listening???  Sort of like the Smash box ones would be great.  And better color coordinated.
