Dammit I was all for skipping this and saving some cash until I saw Karla's swatches now I want 3

. My poor bank account is weeping.

Even though i really love the colour swatch of Ripe and Ready... i decided to wait til someone buys it and tells us her or his thoughts. If it's really as drying as other girls say, then I'm not sure if i want it.

Custom Rose / Pink Virtue
Boss brown / Slave to Pink
Pink Air / White Top
Red Reflection / Mirror
Ripe and Ready / Soft and Lush
Gypsy Rose / Shimmer it

All of these, please!!!

Custom Rose / Pink Virtue and Ripe and Ready / Soft and Lush look so gorgeous. I think they will go really well with some of the items I've bought from recent collections (electroflash, colour forms, cool heat). Yay for me!!

I'm skipping this one. I'm intending to buy basically all of Cult of Cherry AND I want ALL of Manish Arora, so... Got to cut back somewhere?

Well it looks like I am one of the few that is KINDA happy for this collection. I'm more of a lip gloss person, but when I do wear lipstick I love the longwears. All other kinds I have tried "feather" on my lips. Where the color just kind of feathers and blotches... but MAC's never do that. Only other place I found to have great long wears is Avon.

Pink Air/White Top & Boss Brown/Slave to Pink look AWESOME on KarlaSugar's swatches!!! Those two puppies are MINE!

ugh. not for me. the lip colors are a no no. expecially long wear formulas. and the nail polish is faaaaar to expensive.

rbella · 07-24-2008, 12:29 PM #57 (**permalink**)

I thought longwears would suck. But these look too pretty for me to pass up! I might try one to see if it gets gunky on my lips and then go from there...

^^^The girl I know at the MAC counter told me that these don't get all clumpy or gunky on the lips,just really smooth.hth!

I think Ill try the brown/pink one and wear it around the mall and if i like it Ill buy it.

I saw these at my Nordies counter today, they looked gorgeous in the tube & swatched on the back of my hand. I wasn't able to try them on my lips, but I think I might try 1 or 2.

I tried em on my hand and i got one though i wanted more. I was very impressed with the color range and don't mind the dryness of the lipstick portion. The lustre gloss sides are definitely very sheer.

MAC_Fafinette14 · 07-25-2008, 12:11 PM #62 (**permalink**)

Gypsy Rose/Shimmer It is gorgeous! I am definitely getting it, and maybe Custom Rose/Pink Virtue...

Krasevayadancer · 07-25-2008, 12:23 PM #63 (**permalink**)

Ladies, I am ADORING my custom rose. I am def getting more of these babies as soon as i have the funds

ETA: If you get multiple sets you can def mix and match by popping off one side or the other

CantAffordMAC · 07-25-2008, 12:29 PM #64 (**permalink**)

So Adina....are the colored sides drying? Can you describe these any more?

lethaldesign · 07-25-2008, 12:36 PM #65 (**permalink**)

Just by the description, I was drawn to Ripe and Ready / Soft and Lush. And after seeing swatches, that's definitely the only one I want! Soooo pretty. I have never tried MAC's longwears because any other longwears have been too drying. But of course, I'm being suckered in by the color... damn you, MAC!

ledonatella · 07-25-2008, 12:37 PM #66 (**permalink**)

For a brief moment I was really into the Longwears because if you apply them right, i.e. apply the color andwait a good 60 seconds before applying the gloss so the longwear side can "set", they do last all day with no clumping. i also did not experience any dry feeling with them as long as I reapplied the gloss here and there, BUT that's too much work for a lipstick for me and I abandonded them. Of course the colors look so scrumptous I MIGHT change my mind....damn you MAC!

That's so funny, we posted at the same time and both ended with Damn you MAC! It's a universal feeling I guess!!

I'm just happy they're re-promoting $$$$ Yes! I missed out on it before.

Krasevayadancer · 07-25-2008, 02:33 PM #69 (**permalink**)

Hmm, how to describe the lipstick portion. Its not sticky at all, just super thin. When I say dry I don't mean like feathering matte dry, they just leave your lips... hmmm not slide-able? Does that kind of make sense? The gloss makes it all good of course.

Note: My lips still look pristine at 232 pm (i applied mine at 7am) Woot! This is after 3 cups of tea, a glass of water, one cup of coffee and breakfast.

I keep looking at the swatches and I'm so excited for Pink Air/White Top & Boss Brown/Slave to Pink... The swatches look gorgeous!
After reading a few posts I'm liking the Custom Rose too!!

I LOVE the Pink Air/White Top.. Bought it today!!! So this line and Star Flash were both out at my MAC counter at Nordies today.

mac_aiken · 07-26-2008, 06:24 PM #72 (**permalink**)

Stopped by one of my local counters today and they had Starflash and Lustres both out. Initially I wanted the shadows more but was less than impressed. Then I looked at the Lustres and started playing. I ended up with Red Flame/Orange Flicker and Red Reflection/Mirror. Let me tell you...I LOVE these.

So to all my red lip gals out there (and I know that there are ALOT of us) stop by and play with these before just passing them up. Red Flame/Orange Flicker is HOT for a dramatic impact and a little something to get us primed for CoC.

I know, isn't that how it always works??

i met the love of my life today when i went to the mac counter, and he's called pink air/white top. i wasn't expecting to see the lustre twins stuff today as i thought it came out in august, but i'm glad i did. i recently fell in love with the pro longwear lipsticks because of long hours at work and little time to reapply during the day, but most of the previous colours were a little too bold for my taste and line of work, so i was pretty excited to hear mac was coming up with some new colours to add to the product line. as i type this, i'm feeling a very serious need to go back and pick up the new and improved boss brown. the new gloss that comes with alta moda is dreamy, maybe i should get in on that one, too. OH MY!
