Rozz Revival, Chintz on Chintz, Utter Pervette, Back to Del Rio, and Nouveau-Frou
From left to right:
Retrofluid, Supersequin, Twig-Twig, Sandy B, and Russian Red
Don’t miss Twig-Twig, Sandy B, Supersequin, and Rozz Revival! If you don’t have Russian Red Lipglass, then snag the lipstick version, fo’ sho. I know it looks a little scary in the swatch, but I’ve seen it on lots of women and it always looks good.
Did ya snag any of these lippies?
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

I bought Twig-Twig and love it… thinking about picking up another one for when I run out. I was on the fence about Supersequin – but after seeing your swatches, I think I’ll pick it up.
I got Russian Red (with companion lipglass), Sandy B, Twig-Twig and Rozz Revival.
Hi Tuprnut!
Supersequin is very pretty, especially with clear gloss on top!
Tekoa, that’s hot. Russian Red lipglass is one of my fave reds EVER. It looks very pretty with a pale gold eye with thick black liquid liner on the top lashline.
Ohhh, cheese ‘n rice! I seriously passed on the lippies as I strolled to the counter; only picking up A Little Folie and Ochre Style. But your swatches have me second guessing.
Oh no, it’s lippie porn again!! But you’re right. I will need some for those upcoming PTA meetings, hah.
Happy New Year Karen! 🙂
Hey Brittany,
Not to be your MAC pusher, but the Lipglasses are pretty cute, too. I’m wearing Full on Lust today. I did some swatches and will put ’em up tonight if I get the chance.
See Mrs. Lynne! I told you I can justify any purchase. Plus, when the babes have recitals and what not you have to go looking cute so you’ll be the “hot mama!”
Happy New Year, Vanessa! See ya in 2008!
I am so happy!!! I’ve finally found my perfect base shade after months of searching, and it is (drumroll) MAC Brule! A shade less gold than Shroom, it’s perfect for my complexion and pairs well with everything from blues to greens to purples to golds! You inspired me to do the search at MAC, and it paid off big! Yay!
Now I’m going to have to go back and get Twig-Twig to go with! 😉
LOL, Glosslizard – I was looking at my MAC shadows today and I actually contemplated using Brule on my brow bone. Coincidence? Destiny? Hmmm!
I bought mine years ago. Does yours have any shimmer, or is it matte?
Twig-Twig is HAWT! Pop some clear gloss on top of that bad boy, va va voom!
I did a look today with Brule all over, then the golden olive on the lid and winging out a little with the liner shade from the Winter Nights quad. Lots of black mascara, of course (Tarte today). I actually got complimented on my eyes by the counter-guy at Costco! LOL!
It’s a satin, like Shroom. That’s how I chose it… searched finishes online and then made sure I liked the shade in color! Research, baby, it’s all about the research!
Oh yeah, Thursday with my girl, Paula… Twig-Twig here I come! 😀
Heh. I made sure I liked the shade in person… not “in color”! And I haven’t even started drinking yet! 😉
Hey Glosslizard! I hope you had fun with your friend today.
Did you end up getting the Twig-Twig?
BTW, a few months ago I wasn’t feeling the Tarte mascara but as of late I’ve really been loving on it!
Have a great Friday 🙂
