Thank you all so much!! I'm really loving it and it seems to go with my skin tone, hair and eyes if you know what I mean. On the other hand I find RiRi Woo harder to wear, even though it's a universally flattering colour.
I'm really loveing these retro mattes, so annoyed I missed the LE ones, and here in Spain and UK they won't be restocking

Thank you! ...Dangerous is permanent.Gah! You're making me regret that I took Dangerous back. I didn't think I was going to like it. Didn't swatch it or anything first. Who says these aren't perm?I tried on Dangerous w/ What A Blast! lipliner and BGGG blush. It's beyond my expectations!:flower:

Thanks but unfortunately MAC Isn't shipped to international addresses so I can't purchase it in Nordstrom. I have tried in the past and I can add other brands to the cart but not MAC!

So even though I have and lurve Scarlett Ibis I should get Dangerous just to round out my collection and get all of these like the hoarder in me says to do? And to think they say OCD and hoarding aren't related!

They are totally related!!
One may keep trying to find the perfect organisation for one's makeup and keep buying red lipsticks even though one has over 20 of them!

i can't seem to let this collection go. I already bought Flat Out Fabulous, Relentlessly Red, All Fired Up, FOD, Runway Hit, Fashion Boost liner, and Trust in Red liner. But now i went back and bought More to Love liner and i'm thinking about buying Shock Value liner. I did some damage on this collection and didn't even plan to. lmao

Completely off topic but maybe relevant to those that are interested in the brand for their lip balm needs. Found this Jack Black Lip Service Duo pack at Ulta for $10 (I think it was on sale since it's supposed to be $12 and it's actually a holiday set so it may have just been an error on their side).
It comes with 1 Black Cherry & Pomegranate balm and 1 Shea Butter & Vitamin E balm. If you got the 20% off email you can use it on this also. Just thought this might be some info some of you might like since we all seem to be looking for the perfect balm lol

so I received my box. I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE flat out fabulous. I also got relentlessly red, runway hit and dynamo liner. Ummmm....so yea my lips look absolutely crusty in the other colors. the darker colors work best..FOD and FOF are fine. Ruby woo is excellent. but wow the others look like I've had my lipstick on too long and need to wipe it off and start over. I suspect all fired up may work because of the deeper pigment but I have moxie which is good enough. I'm really upset about RR. I think I;m going to try it right now just to make sure it can't work....WTH

It might be that your lips can't handle trying them on back to back. Between each color change slather your fave lip balm on to give your lips a little love. Maybe that will help. P&P may help you out some too. Good luck!so I received my box. I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE flat out fabulous. I also got relentlessly red, runway hit and dynamo liner.

I'm also feeling crusty with Retro Mattes. I apply balm as soon as I'm done washing my face. I get dressed and do my makeup. I add Prep + Prime about 5 minutes before I apply my lipstick. My lips still end up looking like a shriveled mess after about 3-4 hours. I'm about to quit mattes altogether.so I received my box. I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE flat out fabulous.

Not to be funny or anything but are you much of a water drinker throughout the day on a regular basis? I ask this because it seems like those that are naturally more hydrated tend to have better success with their mattes long term than those that bodies are a bit more "thirsty". Any type of true matte is going to expose your lips lack of hydration after a few hours no matter how well you hydrate with lip balm prior to application. Just something to consider. I know my lips will quickly tell on me when I've been slacking on my water hydrating via my lipstick after a few hours...and as much as I want to blame the particular formula or brand of lipstick I know the truth because I know that I don't always hydrate the way that I truly should. Not saying that this is everyone's issue or even yours. Just pointing out a possibility that you may want to consider. Either way, sorry it doesn't work for you. I think we've all had matte frustrations before so I completely understand. They can look gorgeous on others but be a complete fail on us!
Blasphemy! Quitting mattes!
