You look beautiful and :specktrawelcome:I've been lurking on this thread for the past few days and you all seem lovely so I decided to join. Anyway ended up ordered HC and it's my first MAC lipstick. Being new to this whole makeup thing I tend to keep things pretty neutral with the exception of a few red lip days. HC is definitely fun and bright but I'm not sure if I can pull it off.
You're welcome! I couldn't remember who had asked lol!
Really?! The color doesn't do much for me in swatches. I feel like it's dupeable. I'm bringing all my dupes tomorrow with me to swatch and compare! LolHC with colourpop Ellarie lipliner I think I like it better than Heaux
It looks so pretty.Wore HC today and I'm in love! Such a pretty color and is actually unique to my stash. Royal Wink is tricky but once you smooth it out is beautiful! Wearing Royal Wink here...
Thank you so much! And a belated happy birthday to you! (Sorry, I wasn't on Specktra yesterday.) Hope you had a great one!
If you have ALOT of pinks...then yes it may be dupeable. Bright pink lipsticks scare me a bit...I only have about 2-3 so far. HC is a welcome addition!That is really really pretty.
Thank you ladies!

Yeah I have a million and still bought itLol...when I put it on it lit up my whole face! It's like a spring/summer version of Heaux. Since I only have one tube that's half way done...Ill put my little Heaux away till fall. Thank you ladies!If you have ALOT of pinks...then yes it may be dupeable.

HC is more on the magenta side. And I may or may not get NFP. I did some swatches comparing a few pinks that I own and thought would be close. Then threw in Silly for whatever reason, lol: L-R: Silly, WnW Don't Blink Pink, MAC PT NFP, Avon Hi Def Plum, MAC PT HC, WnW Cherry Picking
Totally rocking it! Looks great on you.Oh, I rocked Cardinal today for the occasion, lmao. I know, I'm lame. But I do feel it's doing the darker red that I wanted from that ad than when I first tried it when I got it. So definitely lighting. The below are near the window at home this morning:
This was the other evening indoors, I think w/flash
Still sitting here with the swatches on my hand. I have to say VGMC lipstick and NFP are verrrrrrry close in person. The finishes are what's setting them apart. Then WnW DBP is just like them too, just a touch brighter, like barely noticeable to the naked eye. Pretty much all dupes of each other though.
That is definitely your color and I love it with the blue you're wearing. Do you think Cardinal is worth getting if I have a few reds already?Oh, I rocked Cardinal today for the occasion, lmao.

You know what, the natural light must be putting a blue cast on my pics because my shirt is charcoal grey. You just made me look again and it does look blue, which explains why I like the lip color more in these pics, lmao! I really don't think it's a big deal to get it if you have a lot of reds tbh.
I ordered both, blush pink and pearl blossom. and i don't think we can return. So I'll have enough pink powder to last me a long time...
i'm sure you can return it though. i literally just found a mac lipstick i bought from the pedro lourenco collection. i completely forgot i bought it and that collection launched in maybe may or june of last year. i swatched it and HATED it. i called mac, told them i wanted to return it and they sent me a return label. i got a refund within a week. i'd contact mac if you decide you want to return one of the powders.I'm not in the US, and customer servicehere sucks in generalQuote:Originally Posted by SandraVB79

ha, nothing wrong with having too much pink powder
Thank you for this--I was regretting skipping Nude Pink. Now I feel better about it. I haven't seen too many people post positively about it, although maybe I missed something?
