Finally got mine and I love it! I apply it with a light hand and it works on its own, so glad I got 2!
Tanarama is much lighter/silver-y
Out Minxed (Glaze) from Fabulous Felines is a dupe
Frou is darker/peachier

Would be interesting to see it swatched next to High Tea

I love frosts, but I'm not afraid of colours like that. Naomi is one shade below me on MAC's foundation spectrum (she's NC44, I'm NC45). I think it could work with what Hitchcock recommended, Nightmoth or Vino. It might even look Killer with Fashion Boost or More to Love.

In regards to Dita now... If I do buy it, as stated on the UK thread I would only buy it because of Dita's signature in the tube. Hell, I'll most probably order it tomorrow if I got funds and it's not sold out.

I love light colored frosts!! I don't think I'd use it with a darker liner. I'll see, but I don't normally with lighter lipstick shades. Not since the 90's tbh when Chestnut went with everything, lmao! I'm NW45 yet Naomi seems so much lighter than me in pics. Yeah Dita, I don't need/want another red but that packaging is so nice! I wish AIW was in special packaging. They really dropped the ball with that one. I mean that song is Christmas in itself, why half ass with the packaging?? Such a great opportunity it being Christmas season and all :rolleyes:

Double post, laptop went cuckoo.
You can delete posts now, did you know? One good thing about this update.

I love LaDiBra!
You must be MAC old school then! Or do you just mean my swatch?

... And I can't open the pic... :tear:
Pisses me off and my pic came out so small!

Glad you like it! I'm still pissed I rushed and didn't use the 2 day code. The frigging lipstick is still there so there really was no rush! I want to layer Girl on Board from Wash & Dry on top of it. Do you have Creme D'Nude? Wonder how it looks next to it? I guess I'll try tomorrow.

I was a kid in the 90s, only just turned 30 this year. So I'm just gonna rock the 90s look for a bit... But that'll be in the new year, no Mariah for us Brits this Christmas.

I've lost the will to live last week, when I was trying to post some pics on the Dark Desires thread. Must've took me around 30mins, the pic uploader next to the speech bubble wasn't working. And I don't even know if anyone had issues trying to open those pics.

Dita... She'll have to wait, IF I do decide to order. Otherwise, I'm not missing much. It's just another red to me, and it's not screaming 'Marsha, please buy me. I love you...' The sales assistants at Tom Ford will be happy to see my cash, tomorrow afternoon.

Thanks for mentioning the difference between AIW and Tanarama. I don't care for Tanarama so was skipping this but you may have changed my mind.

I don't end up wearing Tanarama, it's too harsh for me lol. I swatched it next to AIW in natural light and could really see the difference, AIW is SO much more wearable, on my skin tone at least

For reference Creme d'Nude swatches significantly darker than AIW. And correction, Out Minxed is slightly darker, not a dupe as I'd thought lol!

On me CDN swatches a lot darker than AIW, and do post a pic of GOB layered over it!

The lipstick is STILL in stock! Seriously kicking myself, sat home and stalked on a day I'd planned to work OT! Was truly expecting another GBV situation!

Maybe it's because I don't have on makeup and my hair isn't done,but this lipstick is pretty ghastly on me. Damn you nostalgia!

NC44 for reference and please don't mind my makeuplessness,been on a cleaning spree today. Lol

When i click on the picture to see it better i get a message that i don't have permission. This has been happening a lot (altho not always) since the switchover. And i know it's happening to other people. Frustrating...

Heck, i loaded up a picture and I couldn't view my own picture!

I think this is happening in all of the MAC threads. The developer is aware of the issue.

Cheek pollen is reminding me of this cover girl blush I had in early high school named soft sable. It was warm and bronzy and made me look tan. Wondering if I should pick it up now... gah. I wish they sold them in pan form, I kind of want to depot all my regular packaged blushes because they take up sooo much space

Omg, you're a youngster! ;)

I do have Nightmoth! I'll try it over that, thanks for the tip!
Got my Nightmoth yesterday, need to check it out later.

Neither could I, but I follow MontREALady on IG and was able to see the pic over there! I'm pretty sure AIW is significantly lighter than LaDiBra, MAC should repromote it
Myth you do?! What's your IG name?! Thanks!! I'm pretty sure AIW is darker too. I love La Di Bra! (I'm not excited, there's literally an "!" at the end of the name on the tube, lolll).

For reference Creme d'Nude swatches significantly darker than AIW. And correction, Out Minxed is slightly darker, not a dupe as I'd thought lol!
Oh thanks for letting me know. My AIW got delivered this morning...I wish I took a sick day from work today instead of yesterday, lmao!

You just never know with MAC. I thought Mariah had a big following still and it would sell out. But special packaging is what I think didn't push it over the edge.

I think you meant to put this in the Faerie Whispers thread :)

No, mine got delivered this morning but it shipped out later than usual, like Monday. And I ordered first thing on Thursday morning too. Regular shipping and I'm in NYC. Usually it ships the same day or day after and I get it on the Tuesday after a Thursday launch day but I noticed their shipment email said orders are delayed because of the holidays, so add extra processing time:
"
For orders placed with Standard Service during Holiday peak, please allow extended processing days and 3-5 business days for shipment. "
