Please help us streamline the comments' section and be more efficient: double-check the post above for more basic information like pricing, availability, and so on to make sure your question wasn't answered already. Comments alerting us to typos or small errors in the post are appreciated (!) but will typically be removed after errors are fixed (unless a response is needed).

We appreciate enthusiasm for new releases but ask readers to please hold questions regarding if/when a review will be posted as we can't commit to or guarantee product reviews. We don't want to set expectations and then disappoint readers as even products that are swatched don't always end up being reviewed due to time constraints and changes in priorities! Thank you for understanding!

This is a hard one…Pat McGrath Soft Core matte trance lipstick, Pat McGrath lip fetish color balm in Love Supreme, MAC lip primer, PML Divine Rose Gloss….and I know it makes 6 but have to include my Nars lip liner in Marnie which I’ve been using for years!

I agree with every single item on Christine’s list. I love Pat McGrath lip products (everything but the matte lipsticks, but I hate ALL matte lipsticks).

1. MAC Retro Matte in Relentlessly Red
2. MAC Retro Matte in Ruby Woo
3. Clinique Black Honey
4. Gucci Rouge a Levres in The Painted Veil
5. MAC Lip Pencil in Dervish

That pretty much covers my bases with reds, nudes, and MLBB!
