This makes me wish I'd gotten Caliente

I skipped Shitaki for this. Gah! Bad move. I love the shade but I'm not overly impressed with the finish. MAC treated us to quite a few fabulous frosts in the last couple of years like the Nudes & Metallics lippies, Carnal Instinct from Magnetic Nude, Head In the Clouds from Playland, and indeed VG Riri 1. This looks like it ain't one of them :( Chances are I will still end up buying it because the colour's nice and it's for a good cause. Maybe a touch of loose powder will help reduce the super frosty look? Actually, MAC should do lipstick equivalent of a matte top coat for nail polish!

I do. That's a good idea. I'm so used to just buying everything online, I always forget about going to swatch in store, lol.
I usually do the online thing too unless I'm really unsure about something or I just want an excuse to go fawn over the guy who works the counter even though I'm pretty sure he's gay. lol

Can you still get Shitaki? I really like the idea of a matte top coat for lipsticks!

I don't understand why a matte top coat for lips hasn't happened yet!

re: Shitaki - I went back and forth so many times on that one, but finally decided against it because of the finish. Glazes are nice and all that but they're not my fave. Plus, I was so blown away by the shadows and blushes in the collection that the lipsticks ceased to be the priority (which is something that hardly ever happens to me!). Well, I want it now

Oi MAC, your loyal customers want a matte lip top coat!

I hope there's a RiRi VG3 next Spring or Summer, a lighter frost, because that I can pull off lol I'm still going to swatch this in-store next week though

Ohhh, I don't know about this. I skipped Icon and Reckless Desire for this, but I'm just not sure anymore. I will probably get both the lipstick and the gloss, but I will probably rarely wear them :sigh: I love the combo on Nikkietutorials, but I wish she would have done a face shot. I'm not sure what kinda blush it could be paired with... Any suggestions?

Nothing wrong with looking even if you can't touch! LOL

Of course, there are some straight guys in the beauty industry, so you never know. ;)

I think this is one of the things that started the Miley for VG rumor:

I'm right there hoping with ya! The promo image would probably look like this:

I think she's a beautiful girl and her makeup is always really pretty, but she just rubs me the wrong way.

she rubs me the wrong way as well. I think she tries too hard to be "shocking".
