Dangerous is similar to Lady Danger, lady danger has more red undertones Left to right: fixed on drama, dangerous, lady danger (perm.) and ablaze (not really similar, has more pink undertones)

Yes def orange based But then in dimmed lighting its not as orange looking and the pink is easier to see... To me its like a coral/orange with a tiny bit of pink in there.... I love it but I have a thing for almost any nude that doesnt take me to zombieland..

See i like zombie! My fave nude is CDN, so this definitely won't work for me :nope:

I still need to try CDN. So far my fave nude is pure zen.

I'm thinking I'll love RH too!

Ok, since I'm clearly challenged today what does CDN stand for?

This whole time everyone was spelling out the names and the second we start abbreviating my brain completely shuts down.

wellllll….I saw and tried out everything today.

GORGEOUS!!!! all the lippies go on so smoothly and evenly, and my lips are pretty cracked, since I'm getting over a cold.

The only thing to be aware of: There were some manufacturing issues and over half the stock my store got in was a bit irregular, with excess wax forming small bubbles or "warts" on the lipsticks. My store manager packed them all up to send back, because even though they actually have no effect on the quality of the lipstick itself, he knew the customers weren't going to like the irregularity and were just going to return them anyways.

He felt this was why a few of them have been suddenly marked at LE online. I'd say it might be better to treat this collection as LE and grab what you want now, if you know you want to wear them, because it might be longer than the norm for a restock on them if they can't iron out the manufacturing issues.

I was going to be a good girl and be rather reserved about what I was going to get, but hell….with all this news, I'm getting one of each and am ready to party!

Oh not this crap again. I managed to get lucky with my RiRi lipsticks so I hope my Retro Matte lippies end up unblemished as well.

... adds Dangerous to my list. It's more red than I thought it would be!

Ok that makes sense as to why they are magically LE.

I stayed out of that whole Riri thing, so I'm innocent like a lamb here….

I saw some of the defective ones today and they honestly wouldn't stop me from using them (we were all salivating over this box of returns, wishing we could just plunge our hands in and grab fistfuls to take home, lol). My uneducated guess is that because this formula is rather dry in consistency (although not dry on the lips), they have to use extra lubricant on the machinery that forms the bullets and that winds up a little gloopy. I know we have a specktra member who's a chemist who's involved with makeup R&D so if she sees this post, I suppose she can weigh in.

Oh on a happier note: The PLW lipliners….THEY DO NOT BUDGE. Oil based makeup remover gets them right off, but I guarantee you, nothing else on god's green earth will make those babies move. They are divine!!!!

Great! Can we make this a one time notification that this is completely normal, and that there is nothing wrong with the lipsticks, cuz i swear, if people start posting concearns or questions about what to do, or saying they're gonna return their lipsticks cuz they have white stuff on them, i swear I'm gonna flip my shit! I can't go thru this again!

I'm wearing it right now!!!!!!!

It's like a richer, more grown-up, velvety Scarlet Ibis. It is to die for!
