Honestly, I never curl my lashes. I'm scared to death of yanking them out by accident...

Absolutely Gorgeous on you!!!I really loved the lipsticks, although the neutral one is kind of meh. The formula is incredible, it's so creamy it really does feel luxurious. I ended up getting two, but probably would have grabbed Catharina as well (it's pretty close to Full Fuchsia, so if you have that, you don't need this one).
Here are Gesina and Digna together:
And here is a comp of Gesina with Utter Fun (top) and Fusion Pink (bottom). Gesina is redder and more opaque than the former, less orange than the latter and without the distinctive sheen.
And here it is on lips :
Here's a comp of Digna with other dark lippies. I limited it because my arm isn't long enough to swatch it with all the dark lipsticks I have, but if there's one you'd like to see, chances are I have it, so just ask. From the top: Dark Side, Digna, Media, KIttenish
A word to the wise about all these swatches: The light in my bathroom (where these were taken, because it's the only room in the place with white walls), skus VERY yellowish. I tried to correct that a little, but I wanted to get the shots up right away. So keep in mind that all of these colours are showing warmer than they actually are.
So is Digna more plum base? Is that the tone that makes it a blackened red? Its in my cart - so talk me into it
Thanks!

The displays look amazing but sound like a nightmare! There had to have been a better way to do that, right?I could not stay away.I had a short visit at a MAC counter today, and saw a display of this collection. It was beautiful, but tricky to handle. The vertical display is not customer friendly. I dropped the compact on the floor more than once while trying to put it back in the display. I was glad that the compact was empty inside! A MUA told me the dropping had been happening all day.I don't know what was wrong with me, but I didn't swatch anything.(Can I blame the display? LOL) I want to go back there one more time and play with them. Happy news is I picked up a backup of Viva Glam Cyndi (both l/s and l/g) finally.
Is anyone having birthday tomorrow?
But yeah for b/u of Cyndi!!!! I love that shade. May have to back it up myself.
I may not be online tomorrow, so if I'm not, happy birthday to Meg!!!!

You won't be disappointed. Belatedly, I would say that it is a sort of plummy red- it doesn't seem to run particularly warm or cool (maybe a little cool, but I think it would look great on any skin tone).
@ Peachsuns- That's funny, I dropped the company on the floor as well. The display is attractive but not practical...
And HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Salina and Meg!! I hope you both get everything you want!!!!

I'm late too... Happy Birthday Salina and Meg! Did you guys have good days?
Elegant are those your lips up there? If so, you got some nice ones
Now I'm interested in the mascara, I need to see some examples on lashes. Argh! I don't need to be making any purchases right now!

I ordered only the mascara because it was the only one that interested me and it will be delivered tomorrow!! The only 2 mascaras that seem to work on my short, thin, curly lashes are Mac Zoomlash (for a more dramatic look) and Bareminerals Buxom Mascara (for a more natural look). I will try posting pics of the Mac falsies when it comes tomorrow! Hopefully it will live up to its hype.
