MAC's Lady Danger- swatched!

Today was a day of discoveries for me in Westifield Stratford....
  1. I discovered that Victoria Secret is going to be opening a large store there (about time)
  2. I discovered that there is a Mac store in the complex

Since my previous post I have been trying (unsuccessfully) to purchase Miss [Lady] Danger  but to no avail. Upon discovering that there is a free standing store in Westfied  I decided to break my own self imposed rule of NEVER venturing into a MAC store when its packed and skipped into the store to spend some dough.

 There result was >>>>> fail! They had the tester, but had sold out. No!!!!!!


MAC Lady Danger

Thankfully, the associate who was booking people into get seen managed to multitask, locating the sample for me to play with and an alternative, So Chaud, for consideration. I should like to take this opportunity to once again say thanks as this wasn't an easy feat, the store really was heaving. I did try So Chaud but forgot to take a picture.

Having no real shame I decided to take a pic (or five) in store and thought I should post one.

To the left is a picture sans foundation to mute out the eczema / pigmentation around my mouth. It was the best I could do as I was fighting for space in the mirror.

UPDATE: I went back the next week and managed to pick up a tube!

MAC's Lady Danger

You see, I have a confession.....I'm a little occ when it comes to make-up.
On Friday I visited the MAC store in Westfield (White City) and over heard four women talking about 'Lady Danger'. Lady Danger, Lady Danger, Lady Danger la la la is all I heard. Being the keen shopper that I am (read nosey) I had a quick look when they eventually left the stand and hunted down this tube and upon first swatch I was a bit confused as it was a bit, well bright. Whilst I'm no shrinking violet I kinda don't want to be arrested by Joan Rivers et al for crimes against red lips so I left the store. Ever since then I have been on a quest to find this shade and try and work it so that it's suitable for my NW50 skin.

Now I find myself throwing out a plea to the beauty blogger worlds, 'what say you all on this shade?'

 Have you any ideas on how I can rock this shade????

 ANY help on this matter is appreciated as I can see me heading to a pro store and picking it up -soon.

Please do not suggest Ruby Woo as I can't stand her and am not sold on Russian Red. To complicate matters further I have two-tone lips and so need a liner that I can use to colour my lips in as I'm not really a fan of using foundation on my lips.


Help me...........
