Which is yours? Mine varies between Creme In Your Coffee and Ruby Woo depending on my mood. Good days I'm a Ruby Woo, not so good I'm a Creme In Your Coffee.

Cockney for me, its a red that just suits my pale, blue toned skin colouring and dark hair.

LoupGarou · 22/05/2017 14:32

Either Dark Side or Sin, but only for glam evenings out, they always look too much on me otherwise.

HoneyDragon · 22/05/2017 14:36

Brave, it's my favourite 'my lips but better' shade.

BuffyChiro · 22/05/2017 17:06

I love Lady Danger and Ruby Woo. Ruby Woo was my first 'proper, grown up' lipstick.

However, now I only want to buy cruelty-free. If anyone knows of any dupes please tell me!

Lottapianos · 22/05/2017 17:24

Buffy, Clinique Poppy Pop isn't an exact match for Lady Danger but its a lovely orangey red that is loads more comfortable to wear than LD. NARS Jungle Red or Revlon Red are supposed to be dupes for Ruby Woo

LoupGarou · 22/05/2017 17:32

@BuffyChiro Wet n Wild are cruelty free and most of their lipsticks are MAC dupes, and just as good if not better quality ime.

WnW's Stoplight Red is a much lauded dupe for Ruby Woo (and impossible to tell the differences according to beauty editors) and Purty Persimmon is a dupe for Lady Danger. If you're in the UK you can usually get WnW cheap on Amazon UK, they tend to be about £2-3 per lipstick.

teawamutu · 22/05/2017 18:17

Lady Danger. And I've got the Wet n Wild dupe, actually prefer the texture.

ShangriLaLaLa · 22/05/2017 18:25

Posted on this and I've been sent a text from MAC promising me 10% off my first order. Anyone else had a similar message?

Smellyoulateralligater · 22/05/2017 18:34

No Angry I want 10% off!

Leatherboundanddown · 22/05/2017 18:35

Lady Danger!

Lightheartedindeed · 22/05/2017 18:37

Velvet Teddy for me

BuffyChiro · 22/05/2017 18:38

@LoupGarou Ooooh! Thank you so much for the recommendations. Going to hop over to Amazon right now and have a look.

Thank you lottapianos too!

MadisonAvenue · 22/05/2017 18:39

Vegas Volt and Tropic Tonic, although I also wear Retro on occasions.

LoupGarou · 22/05/2017 18:46

@BuffyChiro no worries you're very welcome Smile. All the WnW products I've tried have been amazing quality, I was stunned and over the moon when I first started trying their stuff. Milani Cosmetics are another one who are available in Amazon and who are cruelty free (they even list which of their products are vegan on their website) and who are premium quality for really good prices. Their baked blushes are Nars dupes and are amazing.

Flamingo

greenmelon · 22/05/2017 18:53

Faux

mrssmith79 · 22/05/2017 18:53

The only one I own is Russian Red - s'OK, not my favourite brand.

ECR123 · 22/05/2017 18:56

Patisserie - the perfect nude for day or evening

CherryMintVanilla · 22/05/2017 19:19

Patisserie or Shy Girl

coffeecakemum · 22/05/2017 19:36

Girl about town is my fav for a Saturday evening.

ReluctantlyRedundant101 · 22/05/2017 20:21

Velvet Teddy but have just ordered Mehr as a result of this thread!

Jmangel · 22/05/2017 20:23

Vegas Volt
Maybe we should add our colouring to make it more relevant?
I'm NC25, green eyes, brunette with caramel/copper blonde balayage.

ReluctantlyRedundant101 · 22/05/2017 20:32

Good idea Jmangel I'm typical Celtic pale & freckly with mousy Brown hair so I hope Mehr is going to suit me

carrie74 · 22/05/2017 20:38

Plumful and Capricious for me as well!

SapphireSeptember · 22/05/2017 20:38

Morange and Evening Buzz, (the latter is limited edition but I've never found such a perfect greyish purple! 💔)

No idea what my skin tone is according to MAC, I wear Revlon colorstay foundation in Ivory with white powder over the top, I have hazel eyes and dark brown hair that looks reddish in sunlight but has a blue sheen to it, and I favour bright cool toned colours and black.
