I just read that the colours for Lips & Tips will be different for North America and Asia. They will be the favorites from North Amerika and Asia and the ones we've seen are the favorites for Europe.

Ah, that explains why it says somehting about Snob in the promo text but it's not in the colourstory. So that means I can't get my hands on it, because we get different colours over here. Now that sucks.

I also really LOVE that quad. I wear it a lot. I tend to not go by the ratings as much. I wear mostly neutrals so i knew i would be happy with it.

I love the IL quad too. If a certain blogger gives it a C, D, Or F I am just thrilled b/c it wont' sell out as fast and I know to ignore that. I don't think the quad is so neutral, it works with color, but the colors are muted, so probably why she didn't like it. We need a rainbow bright quad and then it will get a B+ maybe.

Saint Germain - Light cool pink (amplified) (permanent)
Myth - Light neutral nude (satin) (permanent)

Myth - Light neutral nude
Spice - Mid-tone neutral nude
Morange - Bright cream orange
Impassioned - Bright warm pink
Russian Red - Mid-tone neutral red (permanent)
Rebel - Mid-tone cream plum

Nail Lacquer 12,50€
Saint Germain - Light cool pink (creme)
Myth - Light neutral nude (creme)
Spice - Mid-tone neutral nude (creme)
Morange - Bright cream orange (creme)
Impassioned - Bright warm pink (creme)
Russian Red - Mid-tone neutral red (creme)
Rebel - Mid-tone cream plum (creme)


I can't believe how many of these l/s I have already. I will probably skip Spice as I am up to my eyeballs in nudes, unless the finish is something different. Also, I am afraid of Morange. But, I would love it in a lipgloss form for layering.

If funds allow, I would love to get all the lipglosses. I think Russian Red will be a killer gloss if it isn't too much like Wonder Woman gloss. For sure I will want Spice, Morange, Rebel, St. Germain glosses!

I am getting way more excited for this collection now that the color story has been leaked!

Russian Red l/g is actually a permanent l/g so you can take your WW l/g with you and compare them already if you want.

So true. Let's celebrate C, D, or F grades as they stay longer in stock and they can be fabulous products. Yippie.


If a blogger wants to provide a genuine review, s/he probably should stay away from products that she dislikes before putting them on. It doesn't do anybody any favors.


Martiangurll, ROFL @ the rainbow quad, especially as it "only" gets a B+.

Does anyone like the MAC nail polish formula?

I've only tried it twice and both times found it quite thin and streaky and not at all chip resistant.

I really dislike their nail polishes. I have a giant collection, yet I've only ever bought 3 of MAC's because they chip so quickly.

I am not a fan of their nailpolishes at all...I think it is very poor quality for the price.

They've improved it a lot the past couple of years and now the consistency and flow is much much better, as is the chipping situation. One thing about MAC polishes I like the most is that the colors are almost always really rich and complex, without getting too old lady-ish or too teeny-bopper-y. Currently, I can barely tear myself away from Breezy Blue from Chen Man - best royal purple/blue shade ever, and I've been hunting for the perfect version of that color for years. I get tons of compliments on it.

The quad got a bad grade cause the quality was horrible, dry, bad payoff, etc...not because somebody didn't like the colors. -.-

Allura Beauty posted a video on the MAC Reel Sexy collection and the nail polishes look opaque and seem to apply evenly - I'm going to force myself to look away! One of my favourite nail polishes I own is MAC Soiree - usually I don't get the opportunity to wear a polish again cause I buy so much but I've worn this polish so many times I absolutely love it!

I find This certain blogger to be pretty fair, I know she loves her brights but I think she has so much experience with other brands also that she calls Mac out where needed. We all have our own opinions but!

I also love Soiree n/p. In general Mac polishes are ok with me (but I only have 10) since 90% of polishes chip on me in 48 hours

All polishes generally chip on me after 3-4 days but I don't use a base coat and my top coat is a crappy one from Rimmel. The best formula I've tried is Essie and Dior so far!
