Should I get a Carbon in the big size because the snake print looks so pretty? Okay, ya'll know I am being rhetorical, I actually do like Carbon and use it quite a bit, I just wish it wasn't a space-taker-upper in so many quads b/c I like new and exciting colors instead of plain old, I've already got that one, perm colors... Or just wait for them to put it out in another quad which we all know they will. Ask for a CP? (Custom Purchase) from the UK or States. Someone buys for you and mails it, you pay the purchase price + shipping. I will do for you if it doesn't sell out here and you are willing to wait for me to ship it--I'm slow but there could be someone faster who will do it. PM me if you want me to do it...

Carbon looks nice this time around! I'm serious. I would get it if I didn't already grab a black pigment from Inglot 2 weeks ago. I really like this collection. Everything looks so pretty together. Off to put a look together using products my stash.

Checked my Plumful yesterday and it has the "white dust" on it. I haven't had it very long. Maybe since early last year. Wonder what these lustres will looks like with white dust and a snake print

I was at my pro store today and I showed them my Plumful and the manager was like "where'd you get that". He had no idea it was already online. I told him it was sold out online already but maybe not on pro. How funny.

Mythology (but is slightly less/orange pink) and is less bronze than Aztec Brick. I really need to start wearing that shade as well.
Remember how I said I had nothing like this shade. Well...er....

HTH.

thanks for the swatches! i have mythology and expensive pink, so it's nice to know that aztec brick is different. i don't think i'll get my order before monday...

It's strange. I went to a MAC store to swatch plumful before I bought it online and their entire stock was coated with that white stuff. They had no idea what it was.

If it's sold out online, it's sold out. Pro or no pro. It's the exact same inventory

GOD! I wish there was a Swatch of plumful before it was released, I thought it was going to be super dark... but it does't look like that at all. I love those "office professional" lip colors, and plumful looks like one. I have a million of those type of colors, can't help... addicted. Oh Oh Oh was one of my purchases from AG which also fell in that catergory for me.

Such an awesome thing to do for someone. This made me smile today!

Oh no problem dear! Just understand when you want something badly but do not want to pay the astronomical prices!

Wondering the same thing or if it is anything like Spectacle of Yourself or Saffron? If it is like Saffron in VP form, I want. I didn't get it b/c I felt I have something like it already. I did however, have to snap up Altered State and the Once Upon a Time or whatever its called metal vanilla one. I skipped Carbon, I already have 3 of those in palettes, minus the print...

How do you like the altered state and once upon a time?? Yes carbon wld be a waste of money.

Squee!! It's so pretty. I can't wait for mine to arrive tomorrow. Thank you for posting this gorgeous picture. Reaffirms that I needed to get this.

That's it! I'm staying away from Lustres from now on. To be fair, my only lustre with white stuff is Plum Bright (and that's just a very light dusting). The other ones are fine. But it's not a good sign that the Plumfuls in the store were covered in it!

Maybe it's something to do with the colour too? Both Plum Bright are Plumful are, erm, plum. Perhaps certain pigments are more susceptible to snow.

There are enough swatches of plumful. It's a permanent lipstick so.

I like Plumful. I think it's a very pretty shade that's very easy to wear.

That's why I love lustres.

AniBEE · Feb 1, 2013

Your swatches makes me excited that my Shell Pearl finally shipped last night. If I'm lucky I get it tonight.

I was considering skipping for Archie Pearlmatte but this just looks fabulous!

My second MAC lipstick ever was See Sheer which is a lustre. I found it comfortable to wear and not drying at all compared to my first MAC lipstick (MAC Faux) which is a satin finish. I also

lustres.... in the coral family.

I wasn't sure... but figured it would be Sold out too. He just wanted the pretty snake design. ha.
