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!

It’s funny that two of the dupes for a MAC lipstick are other MAC lipsticks :P. I wonder which color has the most dupes within the same brand?
Sometimes it helps to have a permanent dupe from the same brand (because you’ll get a more similar formula and feel) 🙂
Hey, if Temptalia readers hadn’t said they got it, I would have thought Frank was vapor-wear. Less than one hour working on the computer, and 0-60, coming soon to gone! And even my trip during work hours (never even asked about it, so they reinforced my bad behavior) with the Mac store open only 75 minutes, yielded no Frank! Now, at least I can console myself with having all three major dupes. So, it’s not as big a loss as i thought!
Glad you have some dupes 😀
Frankly ;).. I was pissed I missed this.., but am completely consoled by this post as well.
Every time I see mention of the MAC Rocky Horror Show release I get irritated…lol…I just can’t with MAC…That was the worst release I have ever seen from a company and then they just had the worst customer service…They never answered any questions until the next day…
I have Russian Red, one of my favourite lipsticks. I might actually save on Frank-N-Furter. I would like to have it just because of the packaging, but somehow it seems silly when there are so much else to spend on.
You should save 🙂
Maybe MAC should stop making this kind of red, they clearly have enough, lol 🙂
LOL!
I can’t really see much difference between any of them to be honest, apart from Russian Red and Mascate are a tiny bit darker. I’ve been looking for MAC lipstick dupes recently!
They’re very similar!
I know the NARS finish and color are slightly off but I know the product is quality so I’m more likely to consider it.
Makes sense! Sometimes it is worth it to pay more!
I like Mascate as a slightly cooler toned (I think?) dupe! I also like Dangerously Chic though, dammit 😉
Choices, choices…
I have Charmed I’m Sure from the Marilyn Monroe collection. Does anyone have both that AND Frank-N-Furter? They look like an exact match on here so I’m not sure if I need it although I’m very tempted. I have many Mac stores in my area I’m sure one still has it. I already got Sin, the eyeshadow palette and the contour/hilight compact from this collection and I love it all! But I think I want more! Love this collection!!
I don’t think you need both 🙂
I’m rarely but actually in the mood for red lips as of late and I stare at this not believing I didn’t buy it. It’s so pretty! I’ll keep looking as more come to review 🙂 there are so many refs this holiday, could you please consider comparing the very best of the best reds? It’s hard not having a counter nearby. Thanks!
The grades are all there! It’s really a matter of brand/price/type of red you’re looking for. 🙂
Ladies, Standout by Revlon is a 100% dupe!
Yay!
