MAC x Proenza Schouler (April 24, 2014)

Sorry. They're similar. Not the same but similar. So chAud is a tad orangier. Sc left. Ld right

I see the difference! The left is definitely more orange and a little lighter

 

[hippychic823]

Buuuuut, if Mangrove is similar to either of tees two which I already have, I'm totally skipping on it even if it is just a tad bit different than both since I'm on a low buy I'm not gonna buy another lippie that's similar to two I already have....even if it's LE (which is my weakness...) I would rather save and splurge on AA or Playland

 

[mosha010]

They're not similar. They're for two entirely different moods. I will swatch comparison in 3...2...1...

Don't listen to me. This was something I prob believed myself to justify me getting both. I'm swatching them on my lips and the difference is way slight. SC is more Orange but just a tad. And more muted than LD. LD is brighter

Thanks for the swatch...& yes they are a similar but I can tell LD had a little more red in it

 

[mosha010]

I have so Chaud which I love!!! & I was thinking about getting Lady D also but I was afraid they would be too similar.

They are VERY similar but they are different enough to warrant getting both (I'm a HORRIBLE enabler ) LD is more reddish orange and SC is more coral orangey red IMO....honestly though, the way the colors end up looking will vary based on each persons skintone/undertones/lip pigmentation...HTH

Exactly. Agreed. But to be honest, yea if you think you don't wear enough of these type of colors and you have these already then don't bother w mangrove. However Mg does strike me as having a tinge of pink in it...... Here we go.....

I'm such a lipstick hoarder that I will always justify buying another, even if it's only a little difference lol but I think this time I won't get LD since it's so close. & probably won't get mangrove neither, so that just leaves me with getting woodrose!!

 

[mosha010]

Lol maybe it's cause it's dark. Lol but here's the lips. They look very very close Top is SC Bottom is LD

And forgive end of the day makeup face..

 

[mosha010]

Dont. Where are you going to get that many !? Save it for aquatic. We're all going to hell there

 

[LoverOfMac]

I can tell there's a slight difference, LD is definitely a little more brighter

thise are both so pretty. I really like lady danger.

 

[Beautybuyer]

Okay I can't tell the difference on lips lol

 

[mosha010]

Yup. Def brighter. So chaud dries more muted. Still very very hot tho. Ugh Imma wear this tomorrow

 

[maybeline46]

Thank you so much! I guess this one is a skip for me, then. Can you recommend a red-orange matte? I'm looking at Nars Heatwave but I'm not sure.

You should try Hourglass Cosmetics Opaque Rouge Liquid lipstick in Raven…it's great!

 

[mosha010]

Okay I can't tell the difference on lips lol

It's crappy dark now and I walked everywhere in the house trying to take a pic in good lightning but Tomo In the morning I'll do the same thing and take a pic in the sun. The dif is very very slight ... It is there tho but slightly. @Erine1881 back me on this. I think you compared these before

 

[Beautybuyer]

I think I like ld slightly more

 

[hippychic823]

Exactly. Agreed. But to be honest, yea if you think you don't wear enough of these type of colors and you have these already then don't bother w mangrove. However Mg does strike me as having a tinge of pink in it...... Here we go.....

I do wear a lot of orange reds and red oranges cause true reds look horrible on me that's why I was really feeling Mangrove.....buuuut....there's also Toying Around in the Playland collection that I'm stalking as well so I will just have to wait on more swatches of Mangrove before I can fully decide...I don't want to make any impulse buys and scoop it up just cause it's LE and cause it's yet another red orange/ orange red to add to my collection....I'd rather save the $$ on something else....my blush collection is pretty much non existent so I'd like to slow down on lippies and focus on blushes for a bit....oh the struggles of makeup hoarding

I agree, there's a difference.

LD (more red), SC (more orange)

Any chance that you also have Ablaze? Am thinking it may be similar to Mangrove as well....hmmmm

Erine has swatches here comparing ablaze with other colors http://www.specktra.net/t/182265/mac-fashion-sets-2013-collection-april-2013/2580

From memory, Ablaze is more of a neon coral than a red/orange. It's definitely a reddened coral, but it has a pink undertone that the others don't. It was closer to Party Parrot, on me, than any of the other colors mentioned.

Also, another vote for Nars Heatwave! It's a great color with such a nice finish. These types of colors can look clown-like on me, but not Heatwave. Very pretty.
