MAC Retro Matte collection (September 12, 2013)

[Copperhead]

No, not a recent update, its from the update book from a month or two ago.

The SA told me that they only received 9 of each lipstick, then after the initial release they'd get the permanent stock. The displays were already adjusted to add all of the new lippies.

Richelle, how much damage did you do this morning? Did you get all the lippies?

Waah, I'm so disappointed, my counter had a problem with their delivery so they only got FOD and the liners in I was really hoping to pick up FOF today as I won't be near a store/counter again for a couple of weeks. I did get FB liner at least. Just have to decide if I can be patient enough to wait and B2M rather than ordering online!

I ordered Fashion Boost even though I have Heroine because I wanted to try the PLWLP formula, and because I kinda regret not getting a backup of Heroine.

That's ridiculous. Each store/counter should've BEEN had their shipments in in order to be ready for store/counter release. Ugh.

RH, RR, AFU, FOF, Dynamo, TIR, FB & Heroine

In the tube RR & AFU look nothing alike. RH looks nice but like Serenityy I can already tell it will flake up and act funny on me.

FB & Heroine are closer in color than the pic shows, the number of swipes is different.

I'm still broke till next week! I for sure will get FOF, AFU and maybe RR. Still undecided if I should go for RH.

I'm in the same boat. I'll be picking up RR and AFU next week to finish my Retro Matte haul.

Not sure if I'm a fan. I'll wear it for a while and see if I like it. We'll see.

I definitely like this on you!

That texture though is ruff. It felt like Ruby Woo on my arm!

I wasn't allowed to Back to Mac

and i had to rush to school so i had no time to figure it out. Did anyone else have this problem?

I had the same issue. They said I could not because it was a new collection but could b2m when they get a restock ... I just bought what I wanted.

I don't get the "creamy" feel from PLWLL like others say they do....never have. They have all been a bit drier and more difficult to blend on their own (without the help of a little lip balm or a lipstick with slip), but that's to be expected since they are almost bullet proof in terms of wear. The regular pencils tend to be far more "creamy" IMO.

I'm not sure how to explain that but sometimes, the regular formula is dry and I need to apply several layers until it show up, except when I just sharpened it. The pro longwear are easier to transfer on the lips, but I can see how you can't smudge it or blend it easily, they dry quite fast compared to the regular formula.

That's so weird. They let me B2M for indulge when it came out. I'm going to try today and hopefully they let me! *fingers crossed*

Good luck brittbby! It still seems like there are no rules with B2M. It's almost like each store/counter make up their own rules according to how they feel the collection will do or something. I don't know. I just wish they all were on the same page.

The only one constant rule with B2M is that we can't use empties for a VG product, which is understandable because the funds are donated but other than that....

I feel the same way. I have a love hate relationship with PLWLPs. They apply superbly but blending them out is another story. But I find that if I exfoliate my lips, apply lip balm for 10 mins and gently blot off the lip balm, I usually don't have a problem with the pencils. I just know that with my experience using these pencils, prepping your lips is key.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.!!

Runway Hit is a beautiful corally nude on me. I paired it with Cork lipliner. The formula isnt as creamy as FOF or AFU tho.

 

[TheEverydayDiva]

Can anyone compare FOD to Sin from the Pro line if they own it? I imagine they'd be similar.
