Off topic: Ok, so I had an epiphany that I need to sell some make up. I have no idea how to go about it, though. Is there a thread to help me out with that?

I kinda feel the same way...something about that color. I've tried it on in the safety of my own bathroom several times - with liner, without, after covering up my natural lip color, added gloss, etc., and I just can't seem to make myself like the way it looks on me. Still...I can't bring myself to part with it

I own several liners, but I never use them. I try, but...I fail. I think Stereo Rose will be quite nice on you. On my complexion it didn't look like much of anything, but on you the color should really show nicely. Oh and another suggestion: I love, love love Viva Glam Cyndi lipstick. So gorgeous and wearable. |

Usually with MSFs I use my 165 because I highlight with them, but since I use SR as a blush I need a buki because the duo fibers are not picking up enough color for me or I'm too lazy to build it up

Ooh, I was just looking at my stuff and Impassioned is another good one. There's a pro shade called Violetta that you should get. It's coming out in one of the upcoming collections. Violetta is my absolute favorite lipstick ever.

For Up The Amp I use Magenta liner and the Illamasqua Intense Lipgloss. I think I'm going to try it with Vino l/l and see what that looks like.

I feel the same way. You see people post here all the time so you feel like you know them. I have some stuff in really good condition that I would like to let go of. Now I'm kinda kicking myself for the massive amounts of make up I've given away.

I love a bright lip! When it comes to color I'm not scared. Let me also suggest Show Orchid.

I need to give the Illamasqua Intense glosses another try. When they first hit Sephora I bought Fierce, that crazy amazing purple shade. I returned it, though because it felt like it just sat on my lips and I felt uncomfortable. Most of the time I feel free to eat and everything when wearing gloss, but not that one. Then I started thinking, I am heavy-handed and maybe I needed to just apply less. I'm not used to squeeze tubes.

YES!!! I couldn't remember SO for some reason even though it's my 2nd favorite. I kept thinking Trimming Talk and I kept thinking, no that's not it!

Ok, so I've been reading along in this enormous thread about the craziness over Stereo Rose. While I think it looks great on me when I tried it in stores, I don't think I will reach for it much, I'm having buyers remorse.
Not sure if I'm allowed to do this but instead of returning it and having MAC toss out a brand new item, if someone here wants it from me I'll sell mine at cost + tax + shipping ($30.48 cost and tax). Shipping will be $4 within the US. Outside the US I will have to let you know depending on location.
I guess first person to PM me gets it?
If I can't do this please let me know. Not here to break any rules.

Another vote for Impassioned - it's outrageous and bright and yet it's got just the right undertones and shade to be wearable for many skin tones. I always get more compliments than I expect wearing that one.

i LOVE Call My Bluff, but I'm not backing it up because To Pamper from Fabulous Felines is going to be an equal Cremesheen winner - if it's a little warmer than CMB, I'll toss some You've Got it or even some Fashion Scoop c/s/g over it and will be ready to go.
Even Sleepless from Rodarte looks promising, albeit it's a frost.
Finally some decent beiges and buffs for highly pigmented lips!!
