You have to try Baby Lips under the Retro Matte formula. It just makes the lipstick glide on without any patchiness. I used Strike A Rose, Relentlessly Red and a touch of On A Holiday Plushglass :eyelove:
Thanks for the tip! I have FOF and notice that it goes on a little patchy on some areas of my top lip. I'll be getting TTT from Rihanna's collection soon, which I hear is a patchy mess, so hopefully this will help.

Good taste in avatar! I just got Janelle Monae's new album last week, and have been playing it ever since, it seems! It's fantastic!

Don't worry, FOD applies like butter and is very even.

 Fashion Boost is my first PLWLP I've ever bought as well but I really like it, recently bought Riri Woo PLWLP as well but have yet to try it.
I just received fashion boots yesterday and I love it also! It's so smooth and creamy. I tried it with ririboy and occ hoochie. More to love is next on the list.

Just noticed that Nordstrom restocked all the Retro Matte lipsticks so I snagged another FOD. I love that color! It's a perfect vampy lipstick for me, like Prince Noir. Also snagged yet another BU of Runway Hit. Idk if these are going to be perm or not, but I can't take that chance since I love them so, so much

I'm glad they got in more stock of Runway Hit - I keep hoping it'll be one of those LE products that never seems to go away, like Feline was for years, or even finally get made guaranteed perm!

I was organizing lipsticks for fall and putting away some of the summery ones so I decided to try on all my vampy lipsticks and Prince Noir STILL reigns supreme. Dominate has moved up to second place, though. TTT is a bit better on me than FOD, because it's more purplish, and I got reminded of a couple I always loved and haven't used in a long time: Cunning (so gorgeous, if a little trickier to apply than newer ones like Sweet Succulence) and Hipster (which has a great, subtle sparkle in it).

Runway Hit was the surprise of this collection for me. I initially skipped it, thinking it would look too sallow on me, but I got one on impulse when Nordstrom first launched and was pleasantly surprised. It mixed with my natural lip color and while it's not a nude, it brightened up my face and is a nice pinky coral on me.

I skipped TTT and Dominate, I don't tend to reach for vampy colors that often, but it's like finding a perfect red; when it works, it works well. So Prince Noir and FOD will be the set bars for future vampy shades.

Oh, I also got another Steady Going yesterday when Belk launched the Riri collection. That was another nice surprise, not too milky of a pink, and not too yellowy, just a perfect everyday pink shade.
