FOD came in perfect condition!


Embrace Me, Shock Value, Silly


All Shock Value


FOD & Prince Noir




I don't have anything else really to compare to FOD and I'm not completely sure I like it.


Thank you for the comparison swatches, Richelle!

FOD and SV look amazing on you

Has anyone actually B2M for these? I don't want to get denied at the counter. I will be so embarassed.
Yesterday I asked this at a counter and they said that probably I won't be able to B2M for retro mattes, but they wasn't sure.
I'm so pissed, first they say I can't Back2Mac items that haven't got the B2M logo on the packiging (Eyebrow pencil, and all other items that don't have that f*ckin logo on them) and now this.
I'm seriously thinking about talking with someone at MAC about this, this is nonesense...
Plastic is plastic, isn't it?

This makes me not even want to try. Wonder if mailing in would get better response. Guess I could do a chat

Can anyone compare FOD to dark side pls. TIA
Oh yes, I'd love to see a comparison too. Dark Side is one of my all time favourite lippies

I have a feeling FOD has a lot more brown than Dark Side (which doesn't pull brown on me at all). But comparison swatches may suggest otherwise.

Yes Richelle! I knew I'd want Shock Value. And now still in the back of my mind I'm wanting Steady Going. They look good on you!

I'm really loving all the lipsticks on you gorgeous ladies. I just do not feel comfortable in a dark lipstick but would so much like to try one.

Is there a formula that is a little easier to pull of in a darker shade?

Any suggestions?

Thank you.

Hi all, i'm new round these parts, but have been a lurker for YEARS. I have been poorly today, and had Flat out Fabulous, Relentlessly Red and Fired up in my Mac (UK) basket, only for them ALL to be sold out by the time I tried to pay for them. So so heartbreaking. Do we know for sure whats perm and whats ltd ed?? I am desperate for them, even damaged ones damn it!

I snagged FOD and FB only. I love the swatches, except Runway Hit, looks dry as a bone, frankly. It reminded me a bit of fleshpot, color is different, but eraser lips and mummy dust effects are the same. Pass. Yes, I realize the finish is different, but not that different from a matte, so I am skipping RR because I have Party Parrot and a bu (may get it later, I love the color, but dupeable IMHO). Love Dangerous, but I have Scarlet Ibis and it doesn't look that different. FOF looks very similar to many other hot pinks; I have Hollywood Nights, Pink Pigeon, you name it. It is beautiful, but just not feeling the need for it. If we have the straight story and its perm, I can get it later. I love the PLW pencils, but I have almost all that have come out, none of these are THAT different. I have Hip and Happy, the red one and nude one from Hey Sailor. I only got FB as a BU to Heroine liner. And I don't think they are terribly attractive as an all over color, WAY too matte/dry looking.

I really hope FOD doesn't look too goth on me, I am waiting to see how fellow pale girls rock this. Looks gorgeous in swatches, but on the pale girls, I think its questionable if I have seen a full face shot that really makes it work.

Will this change your mind? I think it looks amazing on all skin tones

I'm with you. I'm waiting on the full face shots of FOD on pale girls too. I love a dark lip, but I'm not sure I can pull off one as dark as FOD.
