Can someone please tell my why RR & AFU look exactly alike :/
You mean in person or in the pictures? Cause I thought the same thing initially w all the swatches but when I saw them both in person AFU is more fuchsia where RR is more coraly... It also depends on your undertone ... And believe me when I say I swatched them against a lot of possible dupes and not the same to some other stuff. Similar tho.

Exactly. In pictures they look the same or really close but in person (for me at least) they don't.

Also my FOD looks almost the same as diva on me so what's up with Mac making the same shades smhh
This is what I need to hear! lol. Trying to convince myself that i don't want FOD because I have Diva AND Endless Drama ProLongwear Lip creme. Also looking at TTT from the Riri collection and I do not think I need all of them!!

You're going to Montclair Or Victoria Gardens. I have classes and work that day but I think I'll get out of school early, do not want to lose those who are Limited Edition.

Soooo... This is a pic with diva on top and FOD on the bottom. The only way I could see a dif was in front of bright light... Mostly diva shows up redder.. FOD browner, mattier... No lip liner and no other makeup on tho Bright light:

Sunlight:

On the sunlight one I tried as much as I could to portray the difference in the finish but the pictures don't show as much. They're very very close. Vvvvveeerreyyyyy close. For this type of dark color I would prefer FOD retro matte finish because to me it feels gothier :) IMO. But id dare say FOF is a matte version of diva and unless finish is not a big deal to you then u dont need both... I needed it cause I tend towards the matte version of whatever comes my way (I told myself that and I'm sticking to it!!) Now: I swatched this against NARS 413 blKr and this could be a dupe. Note this pic also shows diva (top) is redder/ shinier. Top to bot: diva, FOd, 413

Has anyone seen the new limited edition maybelline lipsticks????? I just seen them and I have to say although I never personally seen HEROINE but I have seen MANY MANY swatches and have some of the supposed dupes which aren't EVER and I do believe the new le lavender voltage HAS to be one of the best dupes for it besides HEROINE being matte but that's nothing some hd powder patted on won't fix. I bought both tubes my walgreens had I was 2 excited...I'll do a swatch in a few.

Yes! A few of us have been talking about them. Please add your swatches here too...

Lavender Voltage is the one that has peaked my interest.

Hi ladies! I'm new here. Been a long time lurker and decided to post when I saw this

Seems that, on MAC UK at least, that only RH, FOD and SG are LE. Figured that 'OUT OF STOCK' means the others are coming back... Sorry if this has been clarified I just thought I'd input! Side note - Received my tube of All Fired Up today and I love it!
