Scarlet Ibis gets all the men! I swear. Everyone loves this color.
I got ZERO men when I wore SI

I think I intimidated everyone (including myself.)

Everybody was raving about Love Goddess. It's a nice colour, but I much prefer SI myself...
u're making me want SI now! doubt macys will restock though...
If you miss it, try Lady Danger. It is a smidgen brighter, but they are definately similar.

I can't believe I brought all the lippies n this collection , being I like Marilyn but not super fan. She so beautiful, and would have been a Mac viva glam girl for sure.

I tried to make myself like Love Goddess, but it honestly didn't move me. I need to give SI another try. I just never know what to wear it with. I tend to wear bright clothes so I think the lipstick would be OTT. I wore it once this winter with very subdued neutral colors, but it was so loud I was unsure. The lipstick is pretty I just don't know if it's pretty on me. My daughter said the same thing when she saw it on me. TBH it was garish on me and that's not a good look.

I prefer SI. I haven't even worn my LG. I've only hand-swatched it once for comparison purposes on here. Might even sell it if someone wants it.

Today i used Beet lip liner with Deeply Adored and it worked fine, as they're very close to the same color.

Beet will not push it to a dramatic look, however. A darker red will, so I'd also like a somewhat darker red lip liner to go with DA - Beet is the ONLY red liner i own. But i don't recall what Brick looks like - which some others have recommended. If it's warmer than DA, it won't be what i'm looking for. Any other suggestions?

Also, if anyone finds Forever Marilyn at a CCO or has one that doesn't work for them, i would love to get one. I'm surprised at how well it works on my split-personality face color(s) and tones down my red cheeks.

I have one BNIB, though it's from the first launch. I had picked up a few for CPs while traveling for Thanksgiving. Send me a PM if you want it.

My Pure Zen lipsticks arrived today! There aren't many nudes that I really like on me, so I hesitated on this one, but I'm really glad I ordered it! I love it! Thank God the mail man put it in the right mailbox this time! I still can't believe whoever received my Little Rock and Phiff decided it's okay to keep them.

I'm just waiting for the replacements to arrive tomorrow via UPS Ground (meaning I don't have to worry about my package being misdelivered again).

I haven't worn DA in a couple of months (getting into brighter colors for summer and all, but seeing as DA is my fave red ever, I'll be busting it out again soon enough), but I'm pretty sure the liner I usually wear with it is Currant. I'm a fan of keeping my Deeply Adored, well, deep! hth
