I tried Bianca on this morning and I LOVE the color but I need to find a liner that matches. I tried a NYX liner but it was way too warm pink it didn't match at all. I also don't want to use a nude with it bc I don't want to tone it down, I want to find a really close liner so I keep the impact. I have to say though I wasn't crazy about the texture, it was hard to make even on me and I definitely didn't have time to play with it before work, I ended up throwing on a Maybelline one and running out the door

Macys has Tats and Bianca up, but when you go to check out - it says unavailable.. I wonder if people were able to get it earlier though ?

I thought I was going to be able to get Bianca because it let me add it to my cart and start the check out process.

Buzz kill ! :-(
How convenient that it even showed up seeing as we have to pay for shipping today. Now there's nothing but the gloss.

Your right, it is sh*t really, especially since it took so long for the cancellation. It's ridiculous that their inventory is not accurate. The only reason I'm not totally irate is because I did place an order with Mac and am not totally up a creek.

Let us know if your Eugenie ships!
I called and they said it's due to ship out on Saturday, the 18th. In the meantime I told my Mom to expect the box of samples tomorrow

Tats in the sun, with a smudge of the gloss over...I get a pearlescence with this color under. We will see about BB & Charlotte as I try those. I love this combo, though!

Got a chance to play with my lipsticks and am very happy that even though they're not too unique they are all very wearable. Charlotte is less dramatic than some of the other reds I have and is going to be an everyday red for me which I didn't have before. Margherita is lovely and much more toned down on me than Vegas Volt or any other orange I have. Eugenie and Tats are very pretty though I probably didn't need them because I have lots of similar shades. Bianca B is so fun to play with and it was the most pleasant surprise of the collection. Applying a very light layer like some others have suggested (as opposed to the Temptalia slather) makes it very wearable on its own and it's actually very pretty. I'm looking forward to layering it and trying the Korean gradient lip that @LauraLara suggested. Yay!

Yay! Let me know how it works for you, I promised myself I'd be productive for the next two hours, but then I'll try it :) Here's a pic of my first attempt, I used foundation on the outside and benetint on the inside. I think I made it TOO precise, maybe you're supposed to blend it out a little more? I also got the same effect when I got a cherry icee at super america lol but apparently that just-ate-a-popsicle look is where the idea came from :)

OMG Tats!

I really don't have any other pink that pops like this and I think it's because of the matte finish. FOF is different for sure. I got a couple compliments wearing it today.

Tats w/Deep Pink Nicka K Auto pencil

Left: Sun beating down
Right: Under the shade a bit

Gorgeous! I LOVE Tats! It's very similar to Good Kisser, but that's a good thing I think since GK has become my favorite Mac hot pink (next to FoF that is lol).
