So I'm looking for recommendations--it's pretty much what Clinque's Black Honey would be like if it had coverage, except more like a blood syrup. Help a sister out?

All of the colors that I would suggest are pink-toned. Let me check the stash of lipsticks that need to go to other people, I may have something. The closest I can think of is MAC Burnin', but that was a limited edition.

and Kat Von D (ick) Homegirl (mad dark gothy purple).

I agree with the ick, but it's a fabulous color. It's one of my go-to colors.

I know Jilli also wears Homegirl. I have the gloss (full coverage) and the Rosary gloss, got them on sale. ita !, I have a MAC Wonder Woman lipstick that looks awful on me that might suit you [link] On me it reminds me of the overly tanned shrink in Donnie Darko - 80s frosty badness. I've only used it once or twice. Let me know if you're interested.

I just sent StW a text saying "Hey, doesn't seem like we're ever going to be on the same page, it's been lovely, wish you the best, let me know if I'm misunderstanding." No response text yet, wonder if I'll get one. Irony (Morrissette style) being that I was hanging out with B while I did it. When I said good night to him (B), he kissed me on the lips and said "Fuck that guy." Funny, coming from him. I'm a little sad and numb, but I'll be fine. It might be a bit before I start dating again, though.

{{smonster}} I hope you find someone on the same page as you and then Choose Your Own Adventure.

{{{{{smonster}}}}} You truly deserve better.

smonster, you absolutely deserve better.

ita !, can you deal with scented lipsticks? I have a barely-used tube of Chanel Rouge Noir that is probably the color you want. But Chanel lipsticks are rose-scented.

Dear Chanel Cosmetics, Rouge Noir is not, I repeat, NOT the same color as Vamp. Why did you discontinue Vamp? WHYYYYYYYY? Vamp was perfect. Rouge Noir does not have a cherry undertone, which makes it imperfect for me.

Related funny - B texted our friend H last night (he crashed in her hotel room) just "Chickie Wah Wah." Which she assumed was some kind of euphemism for having sex. It's actually a music club [link] (caution, music autoplays). I told her, "I think you're thinking of Bom Chicka Wah Wah."

We went to a play tonight (Clybourne Park) which was amazing, and then to the Melting Pot for dinner, which was also amazing.

There are times when I wonder if we should do a lipstick swap box, much like the nail polish swap box. Because my goodness, do I have many lipsticks that are not the right shade for me. And they're super-easy to clean/disinfect before mailing off.

(Does anyone have a tube of Chanel Vamp they don't want? Nah, didn't think so.)

I don't know, smonster. That might achieve what I was trying to get at with the peach, or it might make me look like I'm dead. We kinda gave up in the store. If you don't want it and no one else does, I'd love to experiment with it, though.

Homegirl is an excellent colour. It's so dark and rich. I wasn't expecting to find a good purple, really, and had crossed it off my list, and then I ended up with two different ones.

eta: Thanks, Jilli! But it probably wouldn't work well for me, sadly.

I saw that earlier this year, and, yeah, great play.

I saw a play by a friend of mine last night, How to Love, and then on the BART ride home I looked at all the couples returning from Saturday night activities and wondered what was wrong with me that I don't have that.
