Just ordered a bu fod "m"
I just placed an order. First RM lippie for me. These came out when I couldn't buy any. Sadness. The brights are perm which is good. I haven't read the whole thread but why is FOF so hard to come by if perm and is it worth going after? I guess if I have to ask tho then it is lol. My hubby is gonna kill me he's all no shopping. Ick, that's a challenge lol.

I didn't like fof I thought it would be deeper and not as fuchsia-y but maybe I had some made up color in my head lol I love runaway hit already half through one tube

I hate that I am a procrastinator. It has lead me to missing out on ririwoo in the fall packaging. I bought goodbye emanuelle from nars thinking it would be enough to skip steady going but I keep having this ache to order. Besides the finish which is obvious is steady going a must? There is too much back and forth if its LE.
When paired with the right liner it is very nice!

Well my fod order was cancelled. I'm gonna order fof after the charge drops off. This sucks!
Mine was just cancelled too! I'm so disappointed. It was on backorder on Nordstrom's website. I even called to check on it at the end of last week. They reassured me it would ship when their new shipment arrived on 11/25. So they must not have recieved anything or the quantity was much less than they expected. Guess I'll just have to be content with Nars Train Bleu and TTT (which I was waiting to try once FOD arrived... If I had liked FOD I was going to let TTT go).

Is FOD too vampy for the office? I'm scared to open another retromatte after my experience with RH. But you ladies won't stop talking about FOD and are pulling me in.

Yup, that's where I ordered mine from. Sucks that the pending amount is still on my account. Hopefully it drops off soon. I'll just pacify myself with another lippie I guess. At least I have Diva and my other darker reds. But still. My first cancellation. Boo! Sorry yours got cancelled too.

If it makes you feel any better, TTT's color is more beautiful and unique than FOD, even if you need extra work to get it nice and even. For me, now that I have P&P Lip, plus making sure to warm up my TTT just a touch, letting the tube sort of sit on my lips for a moment before starting to apply, TTT is much more well mannered.

FOD is nice because it applies easily and well and doesn't need touch ups as much as TTT, but the color is something we've seen from MAC before almost every fall season (just not in Retro Matte).

I still think Prince Noire is the absolute best of all of MAC's LE vampy colors of the past few years!!!

I like TTT better than FOD as well. As for PN, I wore that Sunday and was reminded that I do not like that color. Good thing it was a B2M.
