They're ALL suspect, 19 to 99.

That's what I love about the EDSFs and why I think they're so modern. They use light to accentuate the natural valleys and peaks on your face, while staying quite sheer and subtle. Love them!

19? Better make that 1. My friend's son just turned 1 recently and is already a little flirt, lol!

Still trying to keep my haul to just the one lippie from this collection for now, since I feel like I have dupes in the regular matte formula for most of these colors. We'll see how long that lasts...

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

Kim I keep looking at your gorgeous pics. What can you say about Runway Hit? For some reason it keeps creeping into my consciousness since it was rumored to be LE. I'm also mad at you for putting All Fired Up on my mind. I had no interest in another red, but there you go looking gorgeous in it. Someone else here was looking good in it too. Sigh... I don't need another red. So far I'm just thinking FOF. Erin- I think the MAC Sculpting Creams would be a great product for me to try, but I'm not sure what shade I'd want to get: Coffee Walnut (deep enough?) or Richly Honed (too red?) I'd have to do a phone order and end up being stuck with it so I haven't bitten yet. Any thoughts on coloring? The Chanel powder just doesn't seem to have enough oomph. My dark pigmentation peeks through making it look patchy or something. I don't know. Maybe it's just me. Dusting it closer to my hairline it's too subtle. I've got about 4 NARS brushes and I am very happy with their performance. I think the Yachiyo is scratchy, but all others are soft. The Ita can perform blending, but it initially won't seem to do as well as traditionally shaped blending brushes. It'll take some getting used to. It's also a bit strange to wash. I'm afraid I'm going to end up ruining it because the hairs come into direct contact with the handle meaning it'll get wet. For now I just use it w/ powders, EDSF and avoid liquids. Liba and Elegant - I love how y'all have such similar tastes in dresses. Black and white graphic always rocks. Love its boldness. PP - starting back at the lower half of my ears; under my cheeks I have a cluster of dark greyish-brown pigment. I also have it just above my temples although not as dark. I've always hated it because it makes my skintone uneven when I think I have otherwise pretty skin.

 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....

:( That's just terrible! Call CS & get a new one. So sorry to hear that.

Call CS and get a replacement! I called and my replacement came today in perfect condition! And to answer your question, i line and fill every time! I first condition while doing the rest of my face, then blot off almost all the conditioner, then line and fill the entire lip, then apply the lipstick. Then go back with the liner and touch up the edge if needed.

I got Relentlessly Red lipstick and Fashion Boost PLW lip liner yesterday! I cannot wait to swatch them this week after I B2M for the other three lipsticks.

I stalked this collection for a few days. I was so, back and forth on it. But, I only ordered Flat Out Fabulous. It was the only color that appealed to me. I knew, I would wear it a lot in the fall. So, It would get use. The other colors were pretty but, I have so many variations of the same color in my already growing stash. I guess, I was being more practical this time. LOL.

Yeah I'm always on my ipad, sorry. I'd go for the richly honed, cuz i used the coffee walnut on my NC20 self, if that tells you anything!

I'm NC15 and I use Coffee Walnut too BUT it might actually wind up working well even on very dark skin because it's so green. That olive green in it will interact in a very shadowy way - not so much by adding extra darkness but by darkening and dirtying what's already there. If you have an MA test it out on you along with Richly Honed, you can see which one will work better, especially if you were concerned RH was going to lean too orange (a lot of those contour creams did). I've seen Coffee Walnut on a gal who had to be NW50 and you could definitely see it in action - it was subtle, but hell, that's what you want in a contour nine times out of ten anyways. It's worth experimenting!

OK so I saw this pic of Runway Hit on Instagram on this beautifulllllllll woman and just have to share it since I haven't seen many photos on here of this lipstick on darker skin tones. I think everybody should jump on the Runway Hit train!

Here's Flat Out Fabulous on me : (you can read my review on my blog too if you want, link is in my signature)



I don't like it, it's a pretty colour but it's not my style.
