That color is stun-ning! How does it wear all day?

Thanks so much Fran.

back at you! How is your Friday going, Donna?

It lasts A LOT. I applied it putting some lip balm underneath the first time because I was scared of how drying it would be (a friend of mine has a red shape in that retro matte formula - Ruby Wood, I believe - and told me it killed her lips every time she wore it) and without anything the second time, and it worked great either way.
Another great thing about it - when it starts going away, if you eat for instance, it doesn't leave patches here and there, or remains only on the borders of the lips - it fades evenly and leaves a lovely stain for a while.

I mostly bought it for the color (I think it's one of the most unique MAC has in its range), though, seeing as I'm more used to creamier types of lipsticks. But this retro matte formula looks like velvet on the lips and it's super elegant, imo.

I've read some recommend to wear those Retro Matte lipsticks using the Prep & Prime primer, always from MAC, which makes them way more comfortable and even more long-lasting.

Would love to get All Fired Up next:



But these things cost €19 here (20 bucks) so now that I've indulged in this little gift to myself it might be Christmas until I throw the amount of money I usually spend for 4 lipsticks on just one again.

My weekend has officially started!

[Hawthorn]

Yay for week-end! Any special plans?

I'll try to enjoy mine as much as possible because I have no idea how things will go for me and having free time next week.
And I still haven't decided whether to go watch AoU in theatre on the 22 or not, lol.

I'm in the same boat! These are my last 2 weeks of school and I'm so stressed already thinking about what I have left to do. So going to enjoy my weekend! Why do you gotta think about going to see AOU?

I think because of the dubbing and it being only in 3D, Nikole.

You don't like 3D? I have no choice but to see it in 3D too because that's all they have for premiere night.

[Hawthorn]

I only have 3D as option, too, and HATE the dubbing - when you're so used to the actors' original voices, dugging just feels... wrong. I don't mind it so much when I'm not very invested, but in this case it kind of bugs me a lot.

It bugs me passing on the opportunity to finally watch something without having to wait between the US release and the Italian one, though, so I might just go and try to enjoy myself.

Only two weeks left! You can do it, Nikole! Cheering for you.

Awe that would be a pain to deal with Fran I can totally understand that.

Thank you! I'm gonna try my best.

[Hawthorn]

I know you'll do it, and do great!

Sorry I'm not posting much even though you see me around - I'm putting together the celebration thread and finishing my testimonial... and looking for a certain gif from the Thor movies to put in the OP. and I swear I've coming across every single frame Chris has been in MINUS the one I need. Damn.

Aww thank you!

Don't you hate that?? I've gone through that a few times now with my Misha board. But I want a certain GIF and anything else just won't do.

[miranstarr]

What gif are you looking for, Fran?

[Jade Lizabetta Lautner]

I had to go to Social Security today. I had to get some things straightened out.

Have a great weekend everybody!

It's a curse, then! How do we break it?

Thor during the coronation scene, when he arrives with his hands/Mjolnir up in the hair in triumph. I know I probably have one somewhere on my HD to use as reaction gif, but I wanted to give credit and went looking for one on tumblr, and NOTHING. Argh.

Any gif of Thor drinking with a happy face would do, too. I know there is at least one scene with something like that in 3 out of the 4 movies Thor has been in so far, but damn it nothing with them comes up in the tags.

The universe conspires against me, lol.

Uh-oh. I hope you managed to get things sorted out in the end, without losing too much time/stressing too much over it.

Right back at you!
