I saw these in person and was disappointed Macy had sold the last FOF. I really liked MTL pencil but was so annoyed at missing FOF I didn't get it yet. I hope these are truly perm and I csn get both later. I snagged AFU instead of RR. I prefer the more pinky coral of it. Steady Going I had to skip. I knew it would look too chalky. Tyrone Biggums for certain.

Wearing FOD. Excuse the lighting in my office it washes me out and the bathroom lights turn me into an oompa loompa.

This is with no liner since I couldn't find my Vino. Looks even vampier in person I'm in love

I just ordered Fixed On Drama from Nordstrom because of this pic! Honey on Boost, you are working this lipstick Honey Boo Boo! This is exactly how I would like for it to look.

But, I'm noticing that it's only looking this fabulously dark on the fairer girls. On the darker girls it's looking lighter and redder than I would like, and I'm a darker girl. Actually, on the darker girls it's looking very similar to how Diva looks on me- too red and not vampy enough. But, I actually think that my Kirsch Mattene lipstick (Cult of Cherry collection) looks very similar to how Honey on Boost's FOD looks- just not as matte.

So, for those who want FOD to look darker, if you have Kirsch you may want to dig it out and compare it to FOD.

Any time after Sept 12. That's all that was given.
Thanks! I heard that the Ruby Woo from this collection has a slightly different forumla, so I was hoping to get a backup before it came out. I love it as it is, and even if that's not true I can't risk it!

I'm so happy that this entire collection is permanent so I don't have to cry about items I've missed out on. But I went to my local MAC counter and tried on Runway Hit and it looked horrible on me, so I'm kind of disappointed. I do wanna try Dangerous on now and I want to purchase 2 of the lip liners.
I didn't like RH on me at first either but I went back and tried it on with cork l/l and was happy

You are right about Fixed On Drama pulling more red on darker skin tones. I'm NC44 equivalent and FOD is reddish on me. But that's what I love about it actually. It's a more flattering vamp on my skin than a deeper blackened berry tone.

That's super pretty! I went in last night to buy the VG I gloss, but it already had the beginnings of the rancid smell from the start, so I'm not gonna be able to get it.
my razzledazzler lipglass smelled like that when i received it, too. so did lust, from the perm line. bleh!

Ahh, you're so sweet! Yeah, maybe the LE thing. I think one's own lip color really changes this one.

I LOVE AFU! FOF,FOD, Dangerous, RR,lipsticks FB, TIR, High Energy pencils - in the order I love the most

And thanks doll, I really really love FOF on very much
I'm sorry Runway Hit wasn't a hit on you. :( I feel responsible…I'm usually trying to be a well-behaved anti-enabler, but I guess the natural lip color does come into play with this one - who would have thought; it's so opaque!

Hopefully you've found a pencil to combine it with!

Those PLW pencils really put other lip pencils to shame!

Anyhow, the question was what are your favorites from this collection and my answer was:
It's gotta be Runway Hit, but FOF, FOD, Dangerous and RR are all great - hell, that's most of the collection, so maybe I shouldn't be picking a favorite at all!

I tried out FOF yesterday and it was instant love. Even my husband liked it and it didn't transfer when I gave him a kiss! LOL Also tried RR and impressed how this formula wears so well.
