It's absolutely crazy! I'd honestly rather take that $17.50 + $10 and go in stores and apply it towards a perm lippie and matching lip liner than one LE lipstick and shipping fees. Sigh!
Seriously, that's the same price as spending $30 on eBay practically. You're right! And it's not always you need $50 worth of beauty products to get the free shipping. They thought they were doing someone a favor with that. Then their regular min is $99?? FOH!

Thanks. I know we say this about every new lippie we get but it's different from the other pink ones that I have

Thanks!!

Thanks, that shipping is murder.

I know! We all need to email Macy's about it. Are they serious? Bloomies even has free shipping for Loyalists and they're the same company!! If they want to compete with Nordstrom they need to get it together.
They ARE all a little different! I don't think it's a cop out when we say it's different, because even when we say two things are dupes we never mean IDENTICAL, we just mean close enough that we don't need both. Like I just bought two icy lime nail polishes, and they're dupes. So if I wasn't THAT into icy lime nail polish there's no way I would need both. But I'm REALLY into it right now, so I got one that's faintly darker and more yellow than the other. Just in case. Like the paler one would be better with a pastel spread like pink and purple and orange and yellow. The faintly darker one would look better on its own. So maybe two pink lipsticks are exactly the same but one is slightly more matte than the other. Somebody who is THAT into pink lipsticks might ACTUALLY find value in having both.

Yup. Plus, it's subjective really. I may find something is more similar to another thing but someone else doesn't. One person may not want to get similar, another wants to because that's their "thing".Or maybe some people just want the special packaging or just to have it. So many variables go into it.

I love this on you. I tend not to like NYX's round lipsticks but I may have to look for something similar to this. I have Purple Rain already too.

That is not the way to start on eBay, especially when you have several items to sell. Buyers will definitely be put off buying from the said seller, especially with starting bids prices and buy it now prices that are quite beyond extortion

Woop woop! I don't have any of the so called dupes for Margherita so I was so happy that they made it a matte. I'm not a big fan of amplified finishes and I find a lot of lipsticks in that shade are not matte. If I had been able to grab Melt's Summer lipstick in their last sale before it went out of stock, I probably would have skipped Margherita though... maybe lol.


So pretty! Girl you rock that colour!

I like their rounds you know. They are like MAC's satin finishes, so not shiny shiny and not matte matte (drying). I have a few, even a Margherita-looking one called Orange Soda. They have the Lavender from their Macaron collection that's a little similar to Power. Power is a little more forgiving.

Here's Power reapplied. Which I just realized doesn't look much different from my other pic, lmao! Different lighting though, maybe that's why.

After a 2 hour wait at my local UPS pickup and a phone call to corporate about the horrible customer service, all of my babies made it safely home. I was too tired to try them last night but I put on Margherita today with Mahogany liner. It looks darker in the pics than it actually is, florescent lighting at work. I'm going try it with some other liners too.

It looks beautiful on you. I'm going to try Margherita with Chanel's Tulip Lip Liner.
