dun dun dunnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!
Holy, I'm gone for one day and now there is like five thousand pages for me to read. LOL
So, I gave it and bought Chock-ful! The MA tried is with Velvetella liner, and I hated it. LOL... I think Vino looked better with it.
I hate that I can't wear my Bing or Chock-ful (yet) it's been soooo warm lately..
It the first time in my life I wished it was foggy/raining so I can wear those fall clothes to pair up with my dark lips. hahaha

thanks for all the replies and comments about those colours
I'll have to order online, and when there is time, I might get to see something in a store, too, but by the time it´s in the store it might be sold out online already (that was so for some of the past collections; I vividly remember Fafi especially), so I could not order backups online anymore and I don´t know how many items the stores has until I get there. Also I have a discount coupon of 10% for online ordering, I could need that
So I feel safer if I could order the most important things online already in a few days

Yes, I had Angel and it was my favourite blush, but now it´s empty
I have been waiting for something kind_of_similar to show up again. Nothing in the permanent collection looks like that (to me). Even if Blooming is not similar completely, it is good to know that it goes in direction of rose/plum and not peach. Peach should work on me theoretically, as I am NC 15 (NC 10 if they had that) but it doesn´t; I had pretty, peachy colours from other companies because I didn´t want to invest so much money in trying a risky colour, but it all looks just weird. I need something rose/pink/plum, I gave up on other blush- and also lipstick colours, won´t work for me.
I guess I will order Blooming then

Sounds good! I like berry-ish colours
currently I often use Plumful, but I feel it's sometimes too bright for daytime.
So Blooming and Lightly Ripe are on my online-list, and in case I can visit the store, I will try out Kirsch or the Jampacked-L/G but those I would like to see beforehand in real life. That would be optional then ;D
In case someone is interested, on MUA I just found a photo where someone compares Party Mate (top color) and Lightly Ripe

Thank you

Bing is pretty hard to apply *then* blot down to a stain as it tends to get into all the creases of your lips and leave a stripey, striated effect (at least on me). If you first apply a gloss or, better yet, lip conditioner (less shine), then dab Bing on, blending and smooshing your lips as you go, it will go on much more even and subtle. HTH!

Augh, out of all the items it's Blooming which keeps haunting me! It's not like I can even get it right now... but I am thinking of bumming off cash or something to get it. It sounds so pretty from what everyone else says but it really looked so frosty on my cheeks (Asian NC30 here).
*sigh* I'll just hunt down Stray Rose then... actually, how does True Romantic compare to Blooming? Is it just a tad darker/rosier? I know I'll miss that "glow from within" but if it'll help me from going crazy I'll settle from TR!
**edit** I was so caught up in my blush woes that I forgot to say, darkishtar, you look mysterious and gorgeous with Kirsch! I don't think the eye is too heavy either, it's a great look for fall. =D

But actually pretty similar to Kirsch on me, just a tad more purple. So I tried on Kirsch. And I'm in love. I don't need Bing.
So I left with Vino Lip Pencil, Silverstruck, and O. And I'm waiting on Kirsch tomorrow. I need to stop. |

Singapore! Is it still humid though? My family in the Philippines said it has been raining like crazy!
I believe Asia gets collections a month or so after we get ours?
When I went to the MAC store in the Philippines for vacation, no one was literally in there besides ONE makeup artist.
hhahaha.. I think it's so expensive that's why!
BUT, no worries, CoC is worth the wait. You'll LOVE it, promise!

Quick ?...
For those of you that have both (or tried on both) Rapturous mattene and So Scarlet....Can you tell a difference between the two?
From the swatches I've seen online they seem to be very close in color. Is there any difference between the two once applied?
TIA!!

Yeah it is humid especially during summer. No idea why it has been raining so much lately.
We get collections about one month later but only got Heatherette in July and got Colour Forms a few weeks earlier. MAC is not that expensive here, it is about the same price as US after currency conversion. But sometimes items are missing from collections... We don't get the full collections.
Thanks! I can't wait for CoC!

YOU BOTH NEED KIRSCH. Get it before it sells out! It is seriously hot! You can pick one or the other, personally I liked how Kirsch was a bit more burgundy than Bing.
If you like purple better, go for Bing. I don't think having both is necessary.
And thanks you guys. ^^

Yes! Big difference on me. Rapturous was brighter, more of a true red, although not true red if that makes sense. So Scarlet was much easier for me to pull off.
