UK site has done a restock on the liners and lipsticks except for Steady Going, Runway Hit and Fixed On Drama.

I'm after All Fired Up, Flat Out Fabulous and Fixed On Drama, which I'll get from the store on Thursday. Definitely going to check them myself or get one of them to as I don't want to end up with some looking broken or wax on them. I'm thinking about the two liners Fashion Boost and Dynamo but I have two Heroine so I don't think Fashion Boost will be worth me getting because from the swatches I've seen they look so similar but I do like Pro Longwear liners.

Can anyone compare/show pictures of Fixed On Drama with Diva if you have both please?

My "Fixed on Drama" arrived yesterday and I wish wax was my only problem...mine arrived smooshed from the tip and detached from the base :( I really don't want to go through the whole ordeal of mailing it back so I'll work around it but I'm not a happy customer. Also I had a question: Do you guys fill in your lips with a liner or just outline them? I'm asking this because the formula is kinda dry. I filled them in today and it kept peeling off, I guess I need to run and get me another lip prep and prime too....

You ladies are making me feel bad for not liking my new lippies. I'm going home tonight and give it another go. I'd hate to send them back and regret it later once they're gone like I did with the Nudes and Metallics collection. I passed on it the first time only to regret my decision later. Trust and believe, when it restocked I got all I wanted and more.

I didn't end up getting FOD. I think I might prefer TTT if I'm going to get a vampy lipstick. I just know I won't end up getting enough use out of a vampy lip, so I can't justify buying both FOD on TTT.

I wonder when my order from Nordstrom's will arrive...tracking info hasn't updated yet. I ordered Steady Going, Runway Hit, &FOF for now. I want to get AFU, RR, &a few liners eventually. I really want AFU...I'm not sure how close Moxie &AFU are.. Can someone swatch them side-by-side pretty please?

Men who like makeup on women at all love dark lipstick…..at least until they imagine it smeared all over them - that mental image is the one that really separates the men from the boys, so to speak

I thought it looked great on you! Use a warm peachy blush like Ripe For Love with it and wait for the cooler days to come, worst case scenario.


Noticeably yellow undertones, particularly without any redness in the cheeks or elsewhere.

YOU of all people haven't gotten Runway Hit?????

You are going to apesh1t over it. Don't worry about it running too warm or orange on you. It's glorious!

Also, check out this awesome dress I've been eyeing:

I need to just buy it already!!!!!! And wear it with SG!!!!!!

Notorious is a really weird product. It looks dark, but then when you apply it, it doesn't seem that dark after all, more like mid-tone. Plus it's pretty stiff, so it's only for a super sharp contour line. If you want to soften it, you pretty much have to put another blush on top of it. I usually prefer creams, anyhow, unless the powder is super perfect for my skin tone. Coffee Walnut is my personal favorite - I hope they bring it back some time. I bet that one would work on a lot of dark skin tones, just because of how olive it is.

It's a little unorthodox, but I've found that using an EDSF like Glorify liberally all over the cheeks really brings out my bone structure - not by creating a shadow, but by accentuating the curves and planes of my face. It's worth experimenting with!

I noticed that this summer with Blazing Haute.

The struggle is real ladies. Been stalking this thread while waiting for the in-store release due to waiting on a check. Now that it has come in all the lipsticks I want are sold out online, just my luck! Currently debating placing an order for the lip pencils and paint pots on my list........ MUST RESIST because I know I'll spend more online than in store.

I just received my package in the mail and could not wait to try on FOD. Luckily it came in perfect condition!
