There's some really nice wearable colours. There's a dupe for rebel, and two really similar to watch me simmer and flamingo (like a more pigmented version)

MACina - it might have been style surge but I will double check on my lunch break tomorrow. Hopefully they'll leave the display out cos I though this collection wouldn't be out til mid-march here.

The phrase has a bit of a history in American literary culture over the past 40+ years.

It was first introduced in a 1970 issue of New York magazine to describe well-off, fashionably dressed women who meet for social luncheons during the work week, since they are married to rich men and don't work. The lunch is in either a classy expensive restaurant, or a high-end department store during a shopping trip.

The phrase was the title of a song in Stephen Sondheim's 1970 musical "Company", sung by a cynical woman who ultimately discovers she's one of them. It was famously sung by Elaine Stritch. It has been revived a number of times and I saw a production on PBS in 2008. Sondheim is truly an amazing composer and lyricist. I suspect more people are familiar with his 1979 musical thriller, "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street", which was made into a movie with Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham-Carter in 2007. He also wrote the lyrics for the musical tragedy "West Side Story" back in his early days.

"Ladies who Lunch" has also been used as the title of a sketch on the Season 36 premiere of Saturday Night Live - i remember this one, as the ladies in question have a competition involving wearing tiny little hats. It was also the title of a 2005 episode the ABC television series Desperate Housewives. I didn't watch this series, but apparently episodes were typically named after songs by Stephen Sondheim.

The phrase has a pejorative meaning, as the women it describes are shallow, primarily interested in shopping and being fashionable. I suppose in the MAC lipstick context, though, it is meant to refer to a life of luxury and high fashion.

I love these colors but they seem a bit sheer. That, plus the price point, plus the packaging has me really hedging. I am waiting for one of you to convince me

to spend more than $20 for a permanent item because it makes your lips like Angelina Jolie lips or something. More for you ladies I guess. This month I guess I am focusing on skin care with the Lightful line and get a mineral foundation to try, maybe the new uber black Extend mascara. IDK

Hmmm... Posh Tone looks a little orange on T. Luxe Natural looks too pale and Grande Dame not how I wanted it to look either.

I'm liking some of the colors, but it is going to take a really good review from Christine for me to fork over the extra dough for them. (totally hoping she gives them an A. lol)

Hmmm. Divine Choice, Elegant Accent, and Grande Dame have caught my eye. But I want to see lip swatches on Christine at Temptalia first, we have nearly the same coloring except I have blue eyes.

They do look a bit sheer, but I tend to prefer my lipsticks like that anyway. I like MAC Lustres but they don't last long on me - if these look like lustres but last longer I'll be all over them....
