Got my goodies! Real Redhead and Real Doll are so pretty! They will both get worn a lot. So om Alpha Girl... not sure what to think. Powdery usually doesn't bug me on my paleness, but wow it's super powdery! It enhances the dryness on my cheeks and just looks blah on me. I wanted it for a blush, but it just won't work that way. Any advice to how I can make this BP work? Maybe just lightly dust it over blushes? Notice Me is tricky too. But think I'll try elegant-ones suggestion and use it super lightly. I want to make these work! And IGNK was bu. Now I just need a bu for Heirloom e/k!

Thank you for this! I was going to get Diva-ish but I told myself that I had too many other fuschias, Red Balloon being one of them. Money saved!
Late to the party, but better late than never I suppose! All of you ladies are looking gorgeous in your new goodies!  :eyelove: Yay! Just got back from my Mac counter and B2M'd for Reel Doll and Catty. I brought my Red balloon to compare with Diva-ish and swatched them next to each other and they were virtually identical. My favorite MA was working and neither of us could tell the difference at all, so I skipped Diva-ish. Too bad really, because that was the one I was looking most forward too! Also picked up IGNK and Bouffant! Both are GORGEOUS. So much for skipping Mac is Beauty! :haha:
Thank you so much for sharing this - I've been so bummed about missing out on Red Balloon but thought Diva-ish looked similar in swatches so I ordered it and out of the 5 lipsticks I got Diva-ish and it is my favorite by far! The only item I got that I didnt like was Reel Sexy :nope: looked awful on me so I gave it to a friend who loved it. I really wanted MMG but already have toxic tale and toying around so I skipped it.

My MIB lipstick haul... no Lustres for me. I love Diva-ish and Make Me Gorgeous, but I think they are easily dupable. Reel Sexy is a great color too and somewhat unique. At first, I thought it would be too light for my NC30-35 skin tone, but it's not. Silly is more wearable when I apply it lightly and blend it out. From L to R, Diva-ish, Make Me Gorgeous, Reel Sexy, and Silly:

The 2 powders AG & PB - I saw/swatched them in the store & I didn't think they looked quite like my older ones. Mine are not powdery at all like the new ones. Thats why I always hoard if I love something when it first comes out, because its never quite the same when it relaunches

I agree!

That's why I talked myself out of Alpha Girl, it already looked more powdery in swatches.

About Alpha Girl.... It's so powdery and it applies very heavily! You could try a stippling brush to apply it and then what I've been doing so it won't look as dramatic is putting pearl blossom over it as a blush topper. If you don't have pearl blossom then maybe try using another beauty powder that's very light and try to blend them together. I wasn't expecting AG to be so.... Crazy lol

Thanks for sharing! As far as appearance, I'm not all that pleased with the 137. She looks awkward. Like a broom for the face kinda...however, she performs very well! My sister let me play with hers (since my p reorder was delayed, boooooooo), those brushes are a MUST HAVE ladies!
No, my eta got moved to Wednesday. Ugh! So much for 2 day shipping!
:whip: need me to go put someone in check down at UPS for you?!
