i think you are right...and also there was a bit of a deluge of awesome lipsticks released right around /just after when this came out....i felt like it got kinda eclipsed by the taste temptation thanksgiving hoo-ha and what not...
There was SUCH a deluge. I've gotten to the point where I just make myself rotate to a new one every day, but sadly GF doesn't get as much love, because I really have to wear a full face of foundation with it for it to look at its best on me. I've worn the polish for a few weeks, though.
That's why I skipped it. For me, it is one of those hot-today-forgotten-tomorrow shades that just sold because it was LE.
Plus to be honest, the Gunmetal Estee Lauder one is a bit more versatile, since it's sheerer - at least if you can stand that fig fragrance (which I find kind of annoying).
true...i guess mac was banking on that with the guerrilla-sale tactic!
I have one that is still sitting in the MAC box it came in. Never even swatched it. Let me know if you are interested.
I'm shocked with all these le restocks.
The orange shadow coming up in Art of the Eye is like a matte version of Paparazz-she. It's a great color. I've already got Paparaz-she but if I didn't, I'd be snagging the Art of the Eye one!Anyone still wearing their Grey Friday lippies?
I decided to give mine a whirl today, with Stone liner. I'd forgotten how much I liked this lipstick
The eyes are a crazy Mega Metals medley - Dalliance inner 1/2, Ego outer 1/2, Odalisque on the crease. Lower lashline - A thin line of Plum Noir on the outer 1/2, with Sexpectations slighly below it on the outer 3/4. I'm feeling a bit out of sorts and I figured people at work would leave me alone if I looked slightly batty. I wish I had Paparaz-she too. It would definitely made its way into this look. I'm still kicking myself for skipping it
That's good to know, thank you! I'll have to make do with that one until I somehow manage to get hold of Paparaz-she. I love the Mega Metal formula. There are a lot of suspiciously cheap Mega Metals floating around on eBay but not Paparaz-she. I'd probably be tempted to buy it if it were, in the off chance that it might be genuine
Oh, I wear FF pretty often too. They'll probably be harder to pull off in summer so I'm making the most of both lippies now (it's not quite summer here).
I'm really liking these NYX swatches I need to get my hands on some . Are they good like Mac liners ? Do you get good color pay off ?Here are the lip pencil comparison swatches. Latte and Sweet Bean are pearlized. I'm not sure if the difference between Stone and 1000 Years is coming across in the picture. Stone looks more taupe in person. It seems like a matte version of Sweet Bean when I look at the colors on my hand.
NYX Black Berry - MAC Stone - NYX 1000 Years - NYX Latte - NYX Sweet Bean
