In Living Pink e/s
For those of you who bought this, do you consider it a must have shade? I don't remember if MAC has anything that is very similar to it. What are or are you planning on pairing it with? I'm trying to decide if I need to go back & get one before they are sold out.

I saw it tonight, and it reminded me a lot of Expensive Pink, so I passed on it.

I think there are similar shades out there, but I'm a sucker for LE. I paired it with the summer neutural e/s today, and I think it's a pretty good spring/summer combo.

That's exactly what I got from it! Maybe a tad lighter than EP.

I thought so too when I saw them in the pots. Did you do a swatch? I did and Expensive Pink looks much more peachy on my skin (NC25).

Gosh, I just love In Living Pink e/s. It can even be used as blush! Also, I find it less bronzy than Expensive Pink. ILP is the pink version of Say Yeah e/s (one of my fave peaches). I'm already thinking about getting a backup.

I'm pretty sure it's the same as Living Pink that came out with RebelRock, just in a different finish.

They seem to be re-releasing several of last summers colors, just with different names!
Budding Beauty is very pretty, far too much of a vivid pink for me though.

I think it is definitely worth getting especially if you like pinks. When I swatched all three on my hand, expensive pink is a little more peachy and living pink is a little more of a truer pink than In Living Pink, it's kind of in between the two of them I guess you can say.
Here is a picture I just took

I was going to pass on it since I hadn't seen it yet, and everyone is saying it is similar to EP. After seeing the swatch, I am going to get it, as it is different enough for me to have both. Plus, I don't have Living Pink, and I am a sucker for pink and VP!

I love In Living Pink. I can't wear peachy/bronzey colors so EP was never an option for me. i try to wear Say Yeah! but it's only so so on me. In Living Pink however is a perfect cool toned pink for my NW20 self.
Thanks for the swatches too!

Now that I see swatches of it, I think I am going to end up getting one before they are all gone. It's really pretty & I bet it would look great with some purple shades. Thanks : )

Thanks for the swatches. I knew they were completely different.

Here is another swatch with more colors. It has no base and I think the camera made them look a little different than they really are.

Hmm, now it looks similar to Gleam... I don't know if I should get it or not. I am on a budget and saving for Lure. Will I regret not getting it later? Ugh! I am so on the fence about the Sundressing shadows!

Even though they look kind of similar in the picture, in my opinion they are totally different. Gleam is definitely lighter than In Living Pink and also, In Living Pink is a Veluxe Pearl and Gleam is a Lustre so theyre a different consistency. I think the two would complement each other well and its worth it to have both.

i have expensive pink and i got in living pink, it looks so nice! its much more pink - ep is very peachy/orangey. im wearing all 3 now, with the orange from the NARS mediteranee duo. it's a lot different from sushi flower/budding beauty as well. it also looks really cute paired with woodwinked

In Living Pink is a great e/s! It's not overly pink and it's really pretty. I'm wearing mine with the 2 Sundressing pigments and it looks fabulous.
It's a must-have IMO.
