Lady bug by MAC!! with Nars Taos blush this lustre lipstick makes me look really good 🙂
Woo, red lippie, bold, girl!
MAC Jubilee is love 🙂
Great choice!
I really love MAC fastlane… from the rushmetal collection
Ohh, that’s a really pretty one, Hessah!
MAC Plum Dandy, with a little Smashbox clear gloss. It was so difficult for me to find a color that went with my skintone but I loveee this.
That’s a lovely plum color 🙂
Mac soft lust, but I dont think its on the website anymore 🙁
Awww, it was a LE color!
MAC Strawberry Blonde 🙂
Ohh, nice! I like that one, too – a bit too sheer for it to be my favorite, though.
MAC “Sparks Can Fly” (LE from Smoke Signals)
I love it !!!
Ohh, I like that one too!!
MAC Sweetie or Syrup or …oh,a lot as long as the finish is lustre. What I really don’t like is…matte finish.Bad idea,very bad! LOL
Love Sweetie!! Perfect medium pink.
MAC Bombshell or Vegas Volt paired with Lustrewhite Lustreglass? 😀 I just discovered both of them and ong they are gorgeous. Idk why but we don’t get Vegas Volt here, the MAs says that it’s discontinued. But it’s on the website… 🙁 Makes me sad when a gorgeous permanent color isn’t available in my country.
Those are some bold lippies! Vegas Volt is pretty 🙂 I think it’s a perm color here in the States.
Id say MAC “Snob”, gorgeous light pink and “Sparks can fly”!
Another vote for Sparks Can Fly – looks like MAC had a hit with this one!
Mac Dubonnet.
Oh, that’s Dita’s fave!
Lancome
Le Rouge Absolu
Rose Crystal
For all the non MACers out there =)
Oh, the names sound lovely!
Russian red like dita von tease coz you can wear it as lipstixck and as a blush kinda like a cream blush
True! Good pick!
Viva Glam V lipglass! Its pink but neutral, and shimmery.
Ohh, pretty!!
Underplay by MAC- the everyday, light brown, nude color i LOVE…
Russian Red by MAC- the perfect red that’s not too dark, not too light, just perfect…
Tango by MAC- my new color with a punch, soft orange…
I’ll have to look into Underplay, I can’t remember it right now!
Tango is fun!
I love Mac Viva Glam ll with atmospheric lip glass, oh baby lip glass,it give me a nice neutral look.
Oh, nice combination, Tiffany!
MAC Fresh Brew is the best nude colour for tan skin.
Gorgeous lipstick!
I’ve been dying to try Mari-sheeno. A lot of the makeup artists in the MAC counter recommend it.
But my favorite is Paula Dorf in Breathless & Clinique in Creamy Nude. The former is a sheer, peachy nude while the latter is a biege-y nude. 🙂
I need to get a back up of it, somehow!
Sounds really pretty, Crissy 🙂
Victoria’s Secret Very Sexy lipstick in “Uninhibited”
I like all of their lipsticks, very creamy and nice.
Sounds lovely!
My favorite used to be See Sheer – maybe it is like a more muted Mari-sheeno? It is a pinkish coral.
But for the past few weeks it’s been a tie between Lancome Pale Lip and Bizaarish! 2 extremes…I want to try more dark colors.
I’ll look into See Sheer – I don’t remember it being like Mari-sheeno, though!
Wow, Bizaarish, you go girl!
Another vote for Russian Red…the perfect red color and so very classy on. Makes me feel very pin up girl when I wear it. No gloss on top.
Lovelorn – everytime I wear it, it just makes me feel happy 🙂 and my SO always jokes that it reminds him of Audrey from the Ellen show. Top it with Full for You lipglass.
Blankety is a beautiful nude color and is even better when topped with Full for You lipglass.
I never felt like I could pull off Russian Red myself!
Blankety washed me out, so I’m glad it works for you, Tanya! 😀
Viva Glam V! Can’t live without it! The lustre texture doesn’t dry out my lips and the color is just enough to look polished and put together. Plus, I can literally slap it on and run out the door …
I can’t remember if that’s the one that I like the most out of the Viva Glams! I think it might be though 😉
MAC Subculture lip liner, with Viva Glam V lipstick and gloss, that’s my fave and also go to combo for everyday. I also adore High Tea lipstick, this is the only nude/beige that is flattering on me.
Oh, pretty! Another fan of Viva Glam V 😀
MAC Dubonnet, love it patted on or full throttle. NC25/dark auburn hair/green eyes. It works really well for me.
Another red lipstick girl 😉 I wish I was more comfortable in reds myself. Props!
Viva Glam V
I think that’s at least three who have picked Viva Glam V – I better get if I don’t already have it!
I love MAC Rubia-I wish it were a regular color. However, MAC Viva Glam V is a close second.
Make that four for Viva Glam V 😀
Rubia was pretty in the tube, but super sheer on my lips unfortunately!
Oooh… I’m afraid I have two:
1) MAC Myth with MAC Cushy White Plushglass
2) MAC Sparks Can Fly, which is my exact lip color but with a tad more oomph. 🙂
Love Sparks Can Fly, too! 😀
Viva Glam V is the best!
Seems like lots agree with you there, Lauren!
Hi, I was wondering if rockocco or mari-sheeno are still available to buy? I’ve searched mac’s website and it doesn’t show up. Are there any lipsticks that are close to those colors?
Neither are available, so I have been told. I don’t know of good dupes that are close to them 🙁 Rockocco you might find a dupe in Russian Red, as it is just an orangy-red. Mari-sheeno, I have no idea! I am looking for a good dupe myself.
oo that’s quite disappointing, they’re very beautiful colors, I was really hoping to find something close to it. thanks anyways if you end up finding anything close, please let me know 🙂
Definitely! Will do, Belle!
