Reds.... Love them so much and hardly wear them these days. I feel like red is such a power colour and I don't want to be intimidating my coworkers and clients lol!!! My favourite red is probably Absolute Power from the Strength collection. If I had to save one red from a burning fire, it would be that one!I'm an introvert too... it's so easy once you find 'Your" I now have 28. I'm kind "disgusted" by them all, b/c once I start swatching... they look the same. LOL
we should have a thread dedicated to finding Our first red. I tried a few, but the one I fell in love with was Runaway Red... that baby right there! *sigh* LOL
Gorgeous NaomiAlright, sorry about the lighting since it's really early and I have no natural light. With all the talk about Brave and Boca, I thought I'd post a pic of myself in Brave since they look similar for anyone wondering if Boca may be too light for them. I'm NC44 for reference.![]()
That's what I thought. I start work at 9:30 and was on the train for both MAC and Macy's Cindy launches.the last several collections have launched right around 8 am CST
Love WNW SPF! Reds, I like how they look but I don't rush to buy them. My reds consist of RiRi Woo (stick and glass), her VG1 (stick & glass) another MAC glass from years ago (can't remember the name) and the WNW reds (Fergie Saraghina, Red Velvet, etc). It was my breakout color in elementary school. Back then when you wanted to try lipstick for the first time, you wanted LIPSTICK, so red was the first choice and anything else noticeable! For me anyway. I've branched out a whole lot since then, at one time I wore only nude glosses, I have so many, but since 2013 I've been trying to rock lipsticks and different colors.Dads.... what do they know? lol. I'm sure you looked lovely. Sugar Plum Fairy is one of my faves but it is such a strong colour you definitely can try to play down the eyes and blush so they don't overpower each other (unless that's what you want to do lol) Reds....

Yum!Cooking dinner SUPER early so that I can dedicate my evening/early morning to stalk this collection with all of you! My Julia Petit goodies should be here by Friday, but I'm stalking/buying anyway on the slight chance a package gets 'lost'...WHO WANTS CHICKEN FAJITAS?!![]()

Oh man that is gorgeous! I'm definitely getting petite red and boca. Let's hope I can resist back ups.

I just bought this too. I had been waiting to see it online and your post alerted me! Thanks!Don't know if this is the right place but today is my birthday! As a present to myself I just bought the limited edition Nordstrom palette. They are all prm. colors but a great select of nudes to add to your arsonal at a great price
I compared Petite Red to All Fired Up on Temptalia's swatch comparison. I think they are too close for me to buy PR. I actually like the slightly pinker tone that AFU has, so that settles that one for me. I am also going to skip Acai for similar reasons. I have Rebel and Fashion Revival and with the new Nightingale lip pencil under FR, it looks like what I approximate Acai would look like on me. The only one I question now is Boca... some swatches appear to have the nice pinky tone I want but others look to have a more brown hue. I think it is safer to skip but I am heading out to run some errands near a MAC counter so I am going to see how Brave swatches on me as it looks to be quite close to Boca in the swatches.I would love to see how Petit Red compares to Relentlessly Red and All Fired Up on swatches. I'm hoping it will be similar to one of those two lipsticks since I love the colours of them but I don't like the dryness of retromattes so haven't boughten them for that reason. Been holding out for an LE satin version of the colour to come out so hoping I've found that in Petit Red. Fingers crossed I can snag it!![]()
Thank you so, so much for this information! So Nordstrom is not getting this online and it's only in select locations. Sigh. First post says the collection is also limited to 'select MAC stores.' I'm sorry I'm sure this is old news to everyone. Sounds like Bao Bao II to me (or maybe even more limited cause Nordstrom had Bao Bao sort of). Well, good thing I'm not counting on any "must haves"!Okay chicks, here are the Nordstrom stores that will be getting Julia Petit (Mar 19th, but call to see if maybe they will be releasing early). I asked chat while I had them. Sorry, they gave me store #'s only and I searched and got the actual store info and just pasted. So it's a lot of probably unnecessary info but it may be helpful for some:
Me: will you be getting the julia petit line? MAC
Aubrey F: We won't be getting this online but a very few of store locations will be. I can provide you with the store numbers that will be getting this and you are welcome to contact them about possible preordering or any further info. I do know they will be launching on the 19th.
Aubrey F: Here are the store numbers: 774,768,762,220,386,360,425,427 ....
