Fashion Revival, Living Legend, and Damn Glamorous, Finally had a chance to try on some of the new lipsticks I bought! I'm still not sure how I feel about LL, I had a bit of trouble with application, I'm guessing a liner would help immensely? I also don't know my skin color reference but I'll try on the rest later, giving my lips a break now. But I'd still say pander me is my absolute favorite! I might have to buy two more. . .:eyelove:
Looove it!

When the collection launched online I got Styled in Sepia & Pander Me, and yesterday I went to my local MAC Store to check out the colours I wasn’t sure of yet, them being a bit out of my comfort zone: Nouvelle Vogue & La Vie en Rouge. I loved them both :) Hand swatches, L-R:  Styled in Sepia - Pander Me - Nouvelle Vogue - La Vie en Rouge Sunshine: Flash:   Ok, and this is scary, first time posting pics of my face (I’m still a bit shy, sorry). I’m a bit of a noob, so my application isn’t always as pretty as I see it on the other ladies posting here. We all start somewhere, I greatly enjoy this community and want to share and contribute :) Pander Me   Styled in Sepia Nouvelle Vogue La Vie en Rouge Love my new lippies! Great formulas and pigmentation! Have a nice weekend all :)  
Very lovely on you. :heart:

Pander me is the perfect pinky nude. I did BU. I see it being reached for often! I love all the colors on you! LL is beautiful!

Pander me looks so nice on you ladies. I would love to get it but I am not sure if it would suit me :/
Its a very versatile shade. I was afraid of it at first but its my fav along with SiS from this collex. I'd say try it I think you'll be surprised!

I went to my MAC counter after I got off work yesterday with the intention to swatch/buy PM and FR. Well I swatched FR and fell in love right away but when I went to swatch PM I realized there wasn't a tester for it in the display. I was pretty miffed because the whole I reason I have resisted buying it online this whole week is because I wanted to swatch it at the counter. I decided I would just buy it without swatching and pair it with a liner if I needed to make it "work" for me. So I'm approaching the checkout and one of the girls asks me if I need help trying on anything. I tell her that I need PM and FR lippies.

She gives me a pitying look and says "Oh I am so sorry but we sold out of PM earlier today. We only received 6 of them." My jaw drops for a half a second and I'm thinking to myself "what f*ckery is this!?!"

and then I spring into action! I tell her "Okay I understand. Bag that FR up please I have to get online right now." She looks at me like I'm totally craycray but just bags up my FR without a word. I whip out my iphone and pull up the Matte Lip Collection (because I have it saved in my browser like the psycho lippie hoarder/MAC collection stalker I am) and one-two-three I've ordered PM and used MACEXP. I feel my BP dropping as I swipe my debit card for my FR lippie. I thank the lady who rung me up and walk off toward Sephora refreshing my email until I see my confirmation email that MAC has gotten my order. The ETA for my PM lippie is this coming Wednesday and I'm cool with that because it gives me a few days to show LL and FR some love. So lesson learned, I'm not relying on my counter anymore for LE releases. It's 30min away from me and I just never know how much stock they'll get in. Online is the way to go.

*** Anywho I just spent the last 20 min or so catching up on the thread and I'm loving everyone's swatches and comparisons. I really do adore this awesome community of makeup lovers. It's so supportive and fun and just so ... girl talk... lol. It's great to see everyone feeling beautiful and confident in their new lippies, posting swatches and giving feed back. You guys rock! *cue the dancing nanas*

You're adorable. I've always wanted to go to counters when new releases come out but I end up going later on.

Also, I had the same thing happen when the RiRi Holiday ish came out. They only got about 6 TTT lippies and I was able to get two. in store One was mine and the other was my cousin's.

Very lovely on you. :heart: stunning
Thanks!
Looove it!
Thank you, I cant wait to wear colors ore often now with the weather cooling.
Geeofelia Girl you just gave me life..I need all these because they are beautiful on you!
Aw thanks! It was my first time swatching most of these on myself. I had a small break between classes, but was pressed on time to get to a EDU meeting, so in store I did the most half-ass application (Which I justs tared wide eyed at how horrible of a job I did) and just stared at the MA and asked for everything except Heroine. It was worth the risk! :eyelove:

It really is! Its my first time owning such a nice neutral color, a lot of the colors I own are loud.

Sorry I've been MIA, I need to post my swatches, you all look amazing!!!!!!!!! I have to say, SiS is EVERYTHING I wanted, I first put it on and was like, "meh, it's like mud..." then I went around my apartment doing chores and eventually walked past the bathroom mirror and was like, "whoa, that looks really good..." And then I checked all of my other mirrors (different lighting) and it looked so perfect, like airbrushed and incredibly complimentary to my skin tone. I think when I first put it on I must have put it on too thick and in bad lighting, then when it sort of smoothed itself out after a couple minutes it looked amazing. Apparently I CAN wear brown lipstick. And how great is a lipstick that evens itself out while I'm doing chores?! If they came out with one just a HINT grayer and a little lighter it would be like my fave lipstick of all time. Also, I got ALL of the colors and I love ALL of them, they're all so rich and womanly and subdued in the right way. I like Damn Glamorous a lot more than I thought I would, I put it in my cart because I'm OCD but I really didn't think i needed another red, then I took it out of the package and it's really not red at all, it's something spectacular. I thought Nouvelle Vogue would be lighter and brighter but it's not and I love that about it, I have enough light bright pinks. And FR is SO GREAT. Like signature color great, it really is a redder rebel, which is the color I've been looking for all my life. I might just be wearing FR every single day all fall. Not kidding about signature color, I couldn't make it better if I tried. LL looks a LOT like Sin or LK, with minor differences, but it's okay, MAC lipsticks don't go bad, so it's kind of like having backups, and they're not the 30 some dollar NARS lipsticks i keep buying, so it's not like I sold the farm.

I ended up buying all of them except NV and Heroine (already own it). After seeing how great everyone looks in NV I'm having skippers remorse so I might need to place an order for it asap. I hope I'm able to shake off my shyness soon and post pics

I have never made it to the counter right when a new collection releases (I'm always stuck at work!) but hopefully one of these days I will. As for showing up a day or two after the collection has released and hoping to purchase something I just can't even deal with that anymore unless I was already planning to purchase something Perm and needed to make the trip anyway. I live in a small town and the nearest counter is 30min away in either direction (north or south of me) and those are the only two counters around. The closet MAC store is in another state (Louisiana) so that's not exactly easy access. So it looks like I'll continue to stalk new collections/analyze online swatches and place my order online in order to get my MAC fix. The small town struggle is entirely to real for a makeup addict such as myself

NV is beautiful! And don't be shy, everyone here is a sweetheart, and very very appreciative of swatches! I even post pictures like first thing when I wake up with no makeup and bags under my eyes, no one is ever like "Whoa dude, nice makeup lol", we just wna get more views of the colors :)
