Did anybody buy a beigescapade?

I got one from the Reel Sexy collection online at Macy's and it barely had any veining. I didn't get to choose mine, so I'm not sure if all of them look like beigescapade.

I also got one with lots of veining at the Estee Lauder Company Store and that one is from the Fall Colour collection. There were 2 beigescapades too.

They both look the same on me when worn on the cheekbones. They provide a very natural subtle glow. <3

i think they will be like that forever. because of the materials used. in the end they look the same on (or similar) so I guess we gotta compromise on looks :(

I remember when the Fall Colour collection came out, some people mentioned that there is veining underneath the surface. So, the more you use it, the more you'll see the veining. I haven't experienced it myself, so I'm not sure if all or any of them are like that.

Does anyone have problems with lipstick moving on them when a gloss is applied over the top? The only lipstick I don't have this problem with are mattes. Help?

I wouldn't mind a backup of PP. My lips are very pigmented, so it only faintly shows up, but it's a nice, natural'ish looking color on my lips. No extra work necessary.

that's a universal "problem". Apply very little of it in the center of lips only. That's my only suggestion. Or use lipcote and then gloss on top.

I usually blot my lipstick before I apply gloss and it does the trick for me! You can also try using a separate lip brush for the gloss instead of the doe foot/standard applicator so you can control the amount you put on.

I recieved my Pink Cult yesterday and I instantly fell in love. Its perfect for my NW20 skin and so glad that I grabbed it. It has instantly become my go-to blush.

I got my Heroine lipstick today as well. That is a beautiful colour and cant wait to swatch it when i get home. Will post up swatches and thoughts then. I have a preview night for this collection next week in Australia, so I am looking forward to that and seeing the rest of the collection in more detail for myself

I waited too long to decide on Heroine and of course it's sold out everywhere. Went to a random MAC f/s store after dinner and saw it on display. When I went up to the counter to ask for one, I watched the SA sell the last one to the person in front of me. SAAAAAAAD!

I'm having fun experimenting with Reel Sexy to see what kind of combos I can come up with. I bought Naked lip liner, so I'm hoping to give that a go and see what it looks like in the upcoming days.

Today I tried Lasting Sensation liner with a mixture of Reel Sexy and Viva Glam Nicki, which turned an interesting flourescent coral.



Both of the lipsticks are rather streaky, so I thought, "hmm, let's mix em together and see what happens!" It's definitely different. It might not be a "go to" lip combination for me, but it was nice to change it up! I have Immortal Flower on the cheeks with a bit of Melba for contouring. For the eyes, Young Venus on the lid over Treasure Hunt p/p and Rock & Republic Privilege in the crease.

I have the same problem and that's why i never combine lipstick and gloss. I also have a problem with lipgloss and mattes, because mattes bleed really fast when there's lipgloss on them. I only use a little bit of gloss in the middle, but i still have problems with it.

My Heroine just arrived

I have a couple of side by side comparison of it with Up the amp, since I dont have anything that would be closer to Heroine... (Hope the pics aren't to big!!)
Here is my hand swatch:


And here it is on my lips (MAC HEROINE)

And MAC UP THE AMP
