I got two lipsticks from them, one matte, one metallic, and neither one feathers on me... But definitely need a balm underneath.

I recently got this lipstick from a small company on etsy called ImpulseCo. Psychedelic Opaque Matte Lipstick I am very happy with the color, it's really close to that photo. It has some issues, tho. It comes in a "chapstick" type tube - which means it's not as easy to control as a regular lipstick, but it does say so on the site, so no surprise. It says it's moisturizing, but it's drier than MAC mattes. So I put MAC Mineralize Tinted Lip Balm on first and then it's OK. On the other hand, it only cost $6.99, so it's cheaper than some of those other non-MAC odd colored lipsticks. I am ecstatic that i now have a true blue-violet lipstick.
I want :shock:

ok its TOO Weird that people are talking about this brand now. I just bought from them last week and I'm obsessed. The price is perfect especially the sample size because then you can try a bunch of colors for cheap. I also think the sample size is a little easier to apply because it comes with a lip brush so its easier than the full price chapstick type applicator.
I didn't get that color but now I'm thinking I should have!

I just posted swatches on my blog if anyone wants to look, the link is in my signature..I would post the pics here but they are pretty off topic :p

Honestly I don't feel anyone who's fort lipstick snob, was only 2 years ago. Is not ready for a colab. Aside from the fact she's a child, is not established enough on her career (compared to many other artists that could have been chosen) and don't get me wrong. I like the song royals and think she is adorable. But over too young and just not really my taste.but to me none of that matters if she hasn't been wearing mac or even makeup at all for that long. I just don't see why the colab. Or what there choices and thought processes are yet. I mean if u see her video royals and her now. Her style keeps changing. And rightfully so, she's kid. But we will see. Not ruling it out yet

She's a performer who has started to develop a strong sense of how she likes to appear cosmetically. I mean will age make her more suitable for a collaboration? I don't understand the reasoning. Lady Gaga got a collaboration because...why? She was screaming for attention? Wearing a teenagers attempts at Modern Art as clothing? Seemed inspired to become a Phillip Glass composition incarnate? If Rihanna is allowed to have all this MAC play, if Fergie is allowed- why would Lorde not be deemed fit? I think she has a strong following for one so young and had said some noteworthy things about culture. I'm sorry but if Rihanna is my litmus test, I'm not sure how Lorde is substandard? And please believe I'm only saying my peace, and not intending to be insulting.

:) your reasoning makes sense too! i think her collab will be great, i just think its a little soon since she basically has only been around 8 months hahah.

You know, I was thinking that they might make Heroine in a different finish for Lorde, and rename is Pure Heroine since that's the name of her album. And maybe a Royal purple named Royals. Just dreaming since we don't have a color story yet

This sounds like a very sweet purpley dream to me. I love your ideas and hope something similar to these come out with her collection.

Love the AA promo pics! I wonder what the other two are for. One of the tags says vivaglam so maybe it's for the second VG person?  Credit to IG user [COLOR=444444]VhirGM[/COLOR]
Reposting this here. Thinking second left is lorde with a dark lip on. Possibly could be viva glam too?

Very excited for lorde! It would be even better if the collaboration was viva glam too

I just hope we get some good dark lippies that aren't perm or PRO items. I don't really know who Lorde is outside of being a young singer, but after Googling pics of her I like her barely there makeup with a bold vampy lip.

Also, I agree with you on the VG thing. :)
