everything looks beautiful on her

True! But I actually meant the photos of the products--haha! She always takes such great close ups! You can even see the sparkle in that dark lipstick! I love her blog!

No blushes! Boo!

I swear Karen's photos make the items look ten times cooler and desirable than MAC's own promo images.

Absolutely agree---haha! I wasn't really into any of the lipsticks until seeing these photos!

In-store is the 24th.

And Temptalia's post says that they arrive online on the 21st.

Edit: I think we all knew that but just wanted to confirm again.

I'm getting freaked out Elegant b/c I can't keep up. I'm sorry if you've said this 1000 times but how did you get your PS items already if you dint mind my asking.

I ordered mine from Naimies as soon as they got their shipment

It was $22

I have a gazillion lipsticks & I feel that Mangrove is unique not just in its shade but texture & longevity as well. It has a very modern fresh look to it.

I've always wanted mangrove, that's a given. But now, I want pinkfringe the color is exactly what I hoped sweet experience looked like.

Yet again, you sum it up. Mangrove's the most truly modern red I've seen from MAC in years. I went from not caring about it, to thinking all the time about it, then decided to buy for sure and now just waiting for the day I'll be able to pick it up in-store.

I personally prefer Sweet Experience - smoother, more opaque texture plus the color has a touch more yellow to it, which makes it more fun and unique, for my taste. I feel like Pinkfringe would be more what a person would want if they want blue pink and with a texture that lets the natural lip color through more. It's a very unexpected finish for a Satin.

No way - not on me, that's for sure. Ablaze is coral and Mangrove is warm yellow/orange-ish red. ablaze is clown lips bright and Mangrove is vibrant and glowing, but not bright at all. I'm NC15 - Mangrove I am sure will pull a little pinker on darker skin tones, but it won't ever be as bright as Ablaze.


i totally agree with you - Christine is in her bizarre alterna-world again on that. Scarlet Ibis is eye searing bright compared to Mangrove.

Did you happen to check out the orange-red from the Pedro Lourenco collection? I think you saw photos or maybe the actual products. Just wondering how they would compare.

Now I'm torn. My concern with sweet experience, is how the color itself would look on me. It's really pretty but I'm not sure of it'll suit me. It's be best for me to try in person, if I get the chance.
