    As a MAC die hard for nearly 30 years, I had a pit in my stomach for you, having to navigate a discontinuation of your favorites. I have faced this myself a few times over the years. I am so happy and relieved that MAC created beautiful replacements that you are delighted with. ❤

    I’ve been wearing MAC lipsticks for so many years and love them. But you are lucky if they replaced your favorites with new colours that look pretty much the same! I’ve had some favourites discontinued that were not replaced at all. I am making those last as long as possible. Those colours look great on you!

    Well...I've only ever purchased one "mini" Mac lipstick before, but I found out they are ON SALE right now on the Mac website for only $18.75...and I bought FIVE! All of the ones you showed us except Mocha (pretty but too warm for me) plus Soar and Mehr, and the Plum lip pencil. I can't believe I did that, but you sold me! 😊

    Phew. I was poised like a cobra over the video - in terrors that my beloved R R was gone, but I can see that each reformulation really does look slightly more moist, and I like that.
    Don't forget that eBay has loads of Mac lipsticks going usually at cheaper price. It's where I've got my RR for years!
    Also, if you ever want a bit of a change from the new Cafe Mocha, try Charlotte Tilbury Walk of Shame lipstick. I just tested the old Mocha side by side with that one, and there's very little difference - save that the Tilbury one is just a tiny bit redder and a bit sheerer. 🤸

    I wore Twig, Mocha with Spice liner for decades and they were perfect. Now that the replacements are available I am over the moon! Mon Rouge by Paloma Picasso was the best red ever, nothing has replaced it, could Russian Red be it? I just discovered your site and it sure is nice to meet someone on the same wavelength. I always feel happier and inspired, never bored. Thanks! I like people who foster animals, fostered many kittens in the past.

    Great review! I LOVE the new formulation of these lipsticks. I have Twig Twist, Mehr, Velvet Teddy, Ruby Woo, Russian Red, and Heroine. LOVE them! They never dry out my lips (like the last MAC matte formula) and they are so long lasting. They feel weightless. I find I'm reaching for them more than my other luxury lipsticks like Chanel, Hermes, Dior, Dries Van Noten, Lisa Eldridge, and Guerlain. They are that good.

    For years the only lipstick I wore was Clinique's DL in Sweet Honey. I was devastated when they discontinued it, and bitter that they kept other DL shades that I frankly found ugly. (Am still bitter! 😂) However it forced me out into the marketplace and I have found some similar to my beloved Sweet Honey and some that are different but that I like really well, such as Velvet Teddy. Really love that one and it looks great on you! (We have a similar skin tone but my hair is an ashy medium brown - not the black in my profile pic. Need to change that!.)

    My favorite lipstick of all time was Lancôme Nude #4, which was sadly discontinued years ago. I have spent years trying to find that shade again, which the perfect my lips but better. It was a rosy mauvy color, which looks similar to Fig. I may have to give it a try! The closest I have found so far is Bond Girl by Charlotte Tilbury, but that also has been discontinued…. I love that Russian Red! It’s beautiful on you.

    I just got 2 new ones which are bold and gorgeous. MAC Powder Devoted to Chili. Rare Beauty Lip Souffle in Inspire. Both very nice, not heavy, still long lasting! I have a cool toned ash blonde hair now, having tried all natural grey for 2.5 yrs. Grow out wasnt cute, texture worse, couldnt make all grey hair work unfortunately. Bleached it and then toned with T18, love it so much more. No dye, maybe grey will blend out a bit. My orangey reds and my pinky reds suit my hair color pretty well so I have more color options now.

      @Baragaki_Lily 3 місяці тому +1

      It is blue! But i shared mine with a warm toned friend and it also worked amazing on her. I think it has to do with the intensity and chroma of the color. Ruby woo is way too vivid for me, my face does not handle it well (i look like a clown) but Russian red is my best red ever, despite both having blue in them one has more white/ black/grey than the other. You have to take into account the contrast and visual weight of your facial features, overtone and then subtone when looking out for red lipsticks/ any kind of makeup really. Also it is not weird cooler people having kind of a yellow-ish tint. All of that has a impact in how the color reflects on any surface. I'm a cool winter in the seasonal color system and russian red looks sorta pinkish on me 😂 color theory is so odd and fascinating

    I was in the local high end consignment store, & told a very cool older woman I loved her metallic purple red lipstick. She said: "Me, too! It's discontinued. Fuqing MAC." I couldn't stop laughing.
    MAC kills every perfect colour; Capricious lipstick (my perfect lips-but-better cool with a hint of warmth darker pink), Symmetry (perfect soft cool light brown) & Quarry (soft brown-grey-purple-pink... sounds gross, looks amazing) eyeshadows. There are many more, but those were my holy grails. I hit pan on 2 Symmetries, and 3 Capricious'.
    Oh, well, even though I've gone very "clean" with my makeup, I would not give any of those up willingly. Symmetry is long gone, but I was lucky enough to buy a Capricious & Quarry right before they were discontinued. I'm trying to make myself use them up, so I don't try to "save" them until they expire. The time to shop for green dupes is now.
