I've had great results with both reflects gold and reflects blue.

Perhaps for the ones that are turning muddy you could try applying the gloss first, and then patting the glitter on top of that using a lip brush?

The "Red" She Said collection is awesome!!! I have the Quiet, Please l/s, Date Night, Sugarrimmed and Baby Sparks d/g, Fibre Rich mascara, Stark Naked blush and the Danger Zone e/s. I love using Stark Naked and Sugarrimmed every single day. I want Enough Said blush, Miss Dynamite d/g and all of the Mineral Eyeshadow Trios.

The glitters in the sets are reflects antiqued gold and reflects blackened red. Or were u just giving us suggestions on which ones to use??

I havent tried the blackened red but the antiqued gold---no matter how u apply it to ur lips: is just wrongggg

I was suggesting the blue and gold because I have them and know they work.

I went into MAC today in Brisbane, Australia (David Jones) and they were doing a special promo for Red She Said handing out necklaces/bracelets with a big red diamonte like on the front of the holiday palettes. You may have seen some of the staff wear them lately. They are cheap looking but kind of cute. The HOTTEST promo model was all dressed up in a pimp red suit with a black eye mask painted on and he tied it around my wrist. Gals if u live in Brissy, get on down to MAC DJ's in the city.

Oh how I long to marry a promo model

lol

Yes, it really is. It nearly made me buy Love Alert. Maybe it will still make me buy Love Alert

My MAC counter still don't have stocks of the blushers and dazzleglass.

The MA also don't know what is wrong but he says they will come. I'm tired of waiting. Maybe I'll get Stark Naked from the other counter next week. I'm thinking of passing the dazzleglass this time because of Hello Kitty's dazzleglass with charms.

You should definitely get it

I'm going to get a back up I've used so much of it. I've found that if you put it on top of Baby Sparks it is a gorgeous colour

Red She said is my first ever red lipstick, Russian Red is now on my Christmas list. I love red on me, when didn't think I would suit it.

Yes, I am very tempted. But I have a Chanel gloss that is very much the same colour, just with less sparkles.

I will try my first d/g with Date Night and then I hope they still have Love Alert. Which reminds me a lot of Plum du Bois...
Well, we will see...
You gotta love a red lip

Love Alert on the website is sold out. I was going to buy Love Alert when the collection came out but Sugarrimmed got me and I'm almost out.

You are sooooo right about the dazzleglasses, they are perfect

I just returned from my MAC store and my haul is huge

I bought inter-view, dangerzone, threesome and persuasive mes, soft pause l/s (b2m) and baby sparks dg. It's my first dazzleglass and I love it

Although I have milady mes from last christmas and the black mes from last summer, I can never resist to a nice red/black e/s

Inter-view mes is simply marvelous; I don't like blue e/s but I think I'll wear this one

Threesome is such a nice shade of pink, I could not resist to it

I am a red-she-said addict

Wow amazing haul! Yes, Dazzleglasses are soooo perfect!

Yes, I passed with very good grades... The hard work during the last weeks was worth it

I will have a makeover at my counter tomorrow - if I am able to leave my bed
