It comes out how I would think the darker Mattenes would if you only patted a bit of color from the Mattene on your lips with the pad of your fingertip.

Clinique also has a good one from last fall called Almost Raspberry. I love black honey as well so I might have to give one of the mattenes a try.

Hmm I guess Ill have to wait for more swatches. Thanks! Im NW35, what shade are you?

GoldenGirl --- Plum Du Bois is more of a bronzed warm plum/pink with shimmer - where as Sweet As Coco is more of a browned red burgundy with red shimmer... they are not dupes but they are vaguely similar... I'm super fair - so any variation in color between 2 products is very noticeable on me. Both are gorgeous... but I think Plum Du Bois would complement the dark hued lippies from the Cult of Cherry collection better than Sweet As Cocoa - it's a red vs. purple thing... but I repeat...BOTH ARE GORGEOUS. HTH.

Ok seriously, the more I see, the more I want! Can I please have one of each of ALL of the above!?!? Honestly, I was planning to almost completely skip CoC, but for some reason, this collection is really encouraging me to think outside of the box. I want SO much now. And all of these fabulous polishes, well, I want them all too
lol.gif
I am not asking too much am I?

Every time I see your posts,


(I know I miss alot of posts)

You make me smile!
I can definitely use those smiles right now, (who can't?)
so thanks for posting!



As for bank accounts, I can't even go there...it's sad. BUT...I have found 3 or 4 very beautiful lipsticks recently, definitely along the lines of
this frighteningly yummy collection,
but...not the same Creators. (please don't hurt me, people)
cutey.gif

Still...i won't resist for long...
Uuuummm ....I love Cherries! (My parents even named me after a Cherry.
winks.gif



I found about some pretty Vampy lippies in another forum on Specktra, recommended by a lovely mua ...quite a bit less expensive...
I can't post them in this thread...they are so beautiful, & feel so sweet on my lips, I am wearing 1 of 'em to Sleep (where I really should be, @
1:57 AM...Insomnia

Never fear, as I *will* have paws on C of C soon...a new (older) 2nd car has turned out to be a lemon, so no more m/u spending now. I am not very patient, but I must be a good girl...Car needs fixing & will give CherylFaith Freedom to take little boy to school...& once car's fixed, I'm in trouble...I will need to hide plastic at home somewhere for awhile...

I know I'm a weirdo, but I think I have 11 Red-toned lipsticks!


Maybe it's time for me to try neutrals...but I doubt it.

thank you, sweetHeart.
heart.gif


Enjoy the colors you like, whether they are MAC, or any...really...
I use *fun* for my m/u goal.

Honestly,

you just made my day. Trust me! I am smiling so hard right now. Just so you know my name is KENYA. It is amazing meeting you on this blog.

O please believe me when i say, i do not care if the lippies are not MAC, I will do anything to save money on my lip products.

And i am sorry to hear about your car. Take care sweetie.

Thanks kt. I might have to pick up Plum and wait until some other time to get the others since those are perm, especially since I already know I'll be getting quite a few of the lippies from CoC. Thanks!

thats cheap comparing to if you buy the shadows and empty quad separately. if you buy it separately, it will cost you $50.

I always thought the quads were a excellent deal, cause yeah, in the pan you'd be paying more and in the pot you'd be paying $58. The quads are a great deal, IMO. And I cannot wait to get my hands on the Spiced Chocolate one
greengrin.gif
. I also really want Cherry Blossom l/g and one of the red lipsticks or Cult of Cherry l/g, gonna go see them in person. I can't wait, it'll be my first MAC trip in 3 months :O. Stupid summer... LOL.

^^^They are a great deal, unless you already own 3 of the 4 colors. Then you are paying $36 for 1 shadow, which I think sucks. JMO. I get a little peeved at repromotes....That being said, I still might get Spiced Chocolate, just b/c it is beautiful and I have proven time and again that I am truly weak.

Great point! That statement was coming from a person who is monetarily challenged. LOL

ETA: Also, a pre-made quad is cheaper than making your own quad, I agree!! But in the end, its the shadows that you want.
