My fave 80s mascara was gold! Gold lips, gold lashes, gold dust for the cheeks...black and neon on the body.

I also wore a bright royal blue mascara a lot. I also had a purple one, but it wasn't as striking.

Oh wow MRV! I was too young & poor to have even tried these mascaras, but they sound AMAZING! When I was a preteen and teen I used to love the baby blue, bright purple and I even tried a forest green mascara. It was amazing color payoff, never bothered my sensitive eyes and the price was reasonable. I think it used to be Maybelline that had them. I never tried pink, but my best friend at the time did and she rocked it out. I wish these companies would re-do these colored mascaras with great color payoff. I would LOVE to try a gold, red plum or even neon pink. MAC had a beautiful periwinkle mascara years ago (it was actually more baby bright blue, but they called it periwinkle) and I loved it. I wish they would repromote it.

Oh yes. I love the YSL mascara when I have the funds to indulge. They have the best colors and you can actually see them on the lashes. I wish Dior would come out with more, they had a green one called Algae LOL which was my favorite green EVER. I hoarded that tube until it was mummy dust.

I ended up in a mac store today and bought you're perfect already. I almost got the powder too, but trying to hold off a little longer...i like the softness of the powder, but I was a little worried it might end up ashy on me when swirled. I guess when I go in to buy I can try it on first...they seemed excessively busy today, and I kinda knew I wouldn't be purchasing it. I also liked how smoothly the shad/shadow duos swatched on my hand, but I'm reluctant since my experience w shadesticks. It's definitely a less sticky formula though...more gel-like... The other thing that caught my eye was to catch a sailor, but it's frosty, so that plus the lightness of the colous made me a little wary. Have we seen any WOC pics w to catch a sailor on lips? I guess I should ask that question in the other thread...

I was soooo happy with DD because it turned out slightly different to Pink Pigeon so to me that became a great reason to invest in this lipstick. I was really happy with the formula of the Pro long wear because this was the first one that I had brought, I swatched away last night for my blog and have put my swatches in the product swatch page.

I ended up grabbing a backup of Embrace Me because it goes with so many of my lipsticks and I grabbed nightmoth as well even though it is perm. That is why I like perm items being repromoted with collections because it brings to my attention items that I forget about.

I also grabbed the Liquidlast liner and WOW! its perfection! Am really happy with that as well and it has become my go to liner... strong matte black line and it has replaced my Stila pen

Here is DD with Embrace Me Lip Liner.

Are you referring to Stila Stay All Day? I just bought this and like it, but if the Liquidlast liner is better I might have to check that out!

Dont get me wrong, both of them are wonderful but i find that the Mac one is alot more intense black finish.

Stila is still awesome with incredible precise application, but the Mac is my go to right now

I wore LLD for the first time today and I am loving it. It was the singleton I got from Beth Ditto. I have really tried to resist Dear Diary, but if it is anything like Pink Pigeon, I will have to cave.

looks great!
i've also found embrace me to be a good match to a lot of lipsticks lately...that one and lasting sensation.
it would be great if they made some of those shades permanent!

At my Mac (counter) Lasting Sensation and the light pink l/l are permanent. Since last summer. It must be partly due to the fact that we never got any of the collections they came out with.

Here those are permanent as well, but in the US Lasting Sensation and Just My Type (the dark brown) are perm. I don't know why here Hip 'n Happy is perm instead of Just My Type, but i'm very happy about it!

Same here in Germany....I just checked the site and only LS and JMT do not have the "triangel".

Too bad because I would really prefer Hip`N`Happy to be perm instead of JMT.
