Awesome! I love Azealia Banks, she has such a great attitude and look… and her music is amazing of course 🙂
So cool…Azealia Banks is phenomenal and the color looks right up my alley!
Why is this US only ? :'( someone send it to me in canada !
In the past, a lot of US only has turned out to be North America. Fingers crossed, because I want it too!
the color looks amazing. another product some of us will miss out on, because we’re not in the US !! hopefully they’ll re-promote this and make it available internationally !
I love the way it looks in the tube, but it’s been my experience that many lipsticks that look this deep in the tube tend to apply brighter & pinker, and since it’s an online “exclusive” (how pretentious…), I can’t see how it goes on.
I have and see the same issue. I see this going deep rosy pink on me as do many purples. But not in an attractive way. They start out dark and true to colour and then bits gradually go pinkish and it looks like a pathetically botched lipstick job.
I’m so super psyched for this lippie. It’s been some time since MAC did a purple lipstick. I’m hoping it’s like the old Epic lipstick, kind of grey/purple. I am planning on getting two of these. 😀
Question Christine. Is this amplified semi-matte finish new or have we had them before? It sounds like a new type of finish to me. Tx!
It’s an Amplified finish, which they’re describing as semi-matte 🙂 So it’s the same finish – not a new one!
Thank you Christine!
Very pretty. I love mattes and semi-mattes.
I have to know how this stacks up against Rebel; it looks nearly identical.
MAC, a Canadian-based company, is selling this in the US only…Poetic, isn’t it?
PS: I am Canadian…
My thought exactly, Helen! All the more frustrating because it’s the sort of colour I’ll usually elbow people out of the way to get my hands and lips on…
This really bothers me too.
It irks me to no end that the Canadian prices on the website are about 20% more than US prices…and with the dollar at par no less!!
This bothers me a lot too, and is part of the reason I haven’t been shopping at MAC as much for the past two years. I could understand the higher prices when the Canadian dollar was less valuable, but they’ve been hovering at par for the last five or six years now. I feel cheated, as a loyal Canadian customer, and have passed on a lot of items that I would have purchased at American pricing. Their loss, I guess.
Definitely not the shade for me. I’ll take pinks and reds over purple any day.
I absolutely love Azealia Banks! I listen to her mixtape almost daily but I will not be purchasing this lipstick.
Why “Yung” Rapunxel? Azealia you are better then that! I’m glad she’s getting her own color, and I think it’s gorgeous but I have to say MAC doesn’t show much respect to their fellow countrypeople.
Did you miss the bit where they noted it’s named after her Alter Ego? 🙂 Yung Rapunxel is how it’s spelt.
Yes I do know that’s how it’s spelled.
Here’s my Old People’s Moment
Why do performers need alter egos? Their whole life on stage is an alter ego. Garth Brooks, Beyoncé, Nicki Minaj- why? Secondly, I abhor purposefully bad spelling. I kinda got the “Rapunxel”, you change the spelling to reflect an alternate meaning. I am going back to my porch to rail about the decline of spelling in the Twitter age.
You are not alone.
Oh I SO agree with you on this!!
Thank you ladies! Sometimes I feel like the only one who cares about this sign of civility. Now when is NARS doing a Jerri Blank lippie? C’mon MAC- so much better then the “performance artist” who pulled out of last years collection. Chanting :::do It do IT:::
I don’t think the alter-ego thing is anything new… ever heard of Ziggy Stardust?
No that’s a new one for me. I might have heard of The Thin White Duke or Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. That knowlege in no way alters my initial assertion.
Thank you, Tabitha! 😉 Ziggy was pure brilliance.
I love Azaelia Banks! I also really admired the lipsticks that she wears in the new video for “Van Vogue”… this seems to be a great collaboration! I can’t wait to see how this swatches. I love amplified finishes. Although I am very pale, I want to get on the deep, dark lips trend this fall.
I’m totally into this! I dont have cyber, and was thinking of getting it… Nevermind now, cause this will totally work instead!
cyber was on my list to grab too lol
Only for US customers what a pity, it’s so beautiful !
I need to own this!
I forgot to mention I can’t wait to get my hands on this lipstick. I’ve been waiting for Mac to come out with new amplifieds. I hope it isn’t as dark as it looks. Hoping for more of a grayed purple.
I flipped when I saw this! I NEED IT.
SO EXCITEDDDDD OMG
YUNG RAPUNXEL IS ON SALE NOW!!!!!
