Thank you everyone for all the pretty pictures! I'll have to wait til next week for my goodies.
I ordered Fashion Boost and Fixed on Drama online, which should be here by Monday and pre-ordered in store for Flat out Fabulous. I'll get the other lipsticks over time.

I just put on my FOF and I love it! I really like the feel of it on the lips too. So far, it seems more forgiving than the Satin formula, which is great.

Runway Hit is the only one I've tried on so far but I am so surprised. It's not dry at all! Glides on like buttah. It's sort of what I wanted Nars Bolero to be, except darker and not as pink...and not so dry that it clings to dry lips.

It seems like retro mattes are a busy girl's dream. They really don't transfer onto cups and things when you eat or drink it seems like.

AFU, Impassioned, RR
Yes, close. Just that extra matte texture and finish, and the teensiest bit more brown.
I was gonna ask how Diva and FOD diffrered. Do you think it's worth having both? I'm wondering if I should BU FOD or not.
Did a quick pic of each lipstick on my lips (except for Fixed on Drama - couldn't fit it in the layout and couldn't find a 7 space layout). The lighting makes RR & AFU look virtually the same on my lips but in person they aren't quite as close. They aren't dramatically different either but they aren't dupes for each other.

I think the difference in finish is enough to have both. But that's just me :dunno: If you can get FOD with B2M, do it!

This collection is riri all over again for me. I ordered one of each and of them all these arrived so defective im angry. MAC offered to send me new ones and i told them to refund me but they want these back all of a sudden, postage paid by me of course...NO WAY. Also they all arrived with some level of that greasy film on them. I was ok with that but totally damaged or stuck in the cap is ridiculous. They were also ALL not stuck down in the tube correctly. I had to hit them on a table to get them to go down correctly. I'm so mad but I'm not wasting time or more money sending these back...anybody want these broken down lipsticks please let me know. (Taken care of - thank you specktra) ANNOYING:

fixed on drama is in perfect shape but the mechanism that rolls it up and down goes all the way backwards and forward. It rolls up and down fine but I want mine perfect. PISS OFF WORTHY:

Steady going makes me so mad because I was really looking forward to this one but I want it perfect. I'm that OCD, yes...I'm a work in progress ;) THE WORST AND MOST ANGERING: runway hit arrived all messed up like this.

SERIOUSLY? MAC NEEDS TO DISCONTINUE RETRO MATTE IF THEY CAN'T HANDLE SELLING THEM WITHOUT DEFECTS.
