I hope it is the case that she's wearing a cremesheen glass on top.  Fire Sign sounded like it might be perfect for me, since pink-reds seem to suit me well.  Lustres are usually good for me too, being that bit less opaque (even though I naturally have hardly any colour in my lips most of the time).   I look forward to seeing swatches of the products on their own.

It's available online at Boots - £16.50.  Don't forget you can also order online or instore and have it delivered to home or store.  I think you have to spend £20 to get free delivery instore, but that's easily done

I don't tend to use my mineralize products as much as the rest of my stuff, so unless the swatches reveal a few gems I will probably only be buying 2 or 3 lipsticks from this collection.

I have however, just managed to procure Shimmermint MES from the Glitter & Ice collection, from House Of Fraser online, which I am quite excited about.

It's really cool you managed to get Shimmermint, it's so pretty! I'll be posting the FOTD with Edgy Emerald, Shimmermint and Smutty Green on my blog tonight, have a look if you're interested. ;)

I have a similar plan of action. My local MAC mua's know about my lists. But sometimes when i finally get to test the products myself i end up with items that weren't even on my first list.

That happened with the Fashion Sets ("lips 'n' tips") collection. I thought i wouldn't get anything, but i ended up getting Angel and Snob lipsticks & lipglasses. I'm not really a pink girl, but when testing another product i realized i had cocoa-pinks and neutral pinks and warm pinks, but i could use a cool pink.

Checking over my makeup, it looks like i still need some browns lipsticks without shimmer, and i might try Chestnut...

Here's my *Must Test* list for Heavenly Creatures, although i will test the others

Pleasureseeker - Creamy peach (Glaze) (repromote)

Cut a Caper - Mid-tone peachy pink (Lustre) (repromote)

Venus - Sheer yellow pink with pearlized pigments (Lustre)

Cusp of Dawn - Beige pink (Lustre)

 

Light Year - Peachy pink with gold shimmer

Star Wonder - Plumy pink with multi-dimensional pearlized pigments

Center of the Universe - Coral with gold shimmer

 

The only lipstick I'm unsure about is Fire Sign. I don't know how I feel about a red-pink. I've owned a few in that range before and I didn't really like them. Sometimes when the color fades away it just looks like I have kool-aid lips  but maybe the MAC formula will be different, of course. We'll see! 

I'm still a little unsure about Star Wonder, but giving it the benefit of the doubt and including it in my list for budgeting purposes :) lol

 

I'm not even going to look at the mineralize blushes because the 3 I have don't really get much love - Hang Loose, Band of Roses and Subtle Breeze. I do use Subtle Breeze a lot, but not enough to justify purchasing more to make SB get lost in the shuffle. 

MES are really not my favorite, either... so I can easily skip those. 

Oh and the cremesheen glasses, the price always scares me, and the formula feels too slippery on my lips. I skipped out on the ones in Reel Sexy, and the last one I purchased was Narcissus, which I LOVE and I deal with the slippery lips, but csg in general, mehhh. 

That gives me pause as well. I want to love them but not completely sure it is really worth it.

I've never tried CSGs, but I really dislike MAC's regular lipglasses! I usually wear Chanel glossimers or one of the l/g from Marcel Wanders 2 as I don't find them tacky and sticky at all!

I got it in sephora and I have been using it for MES since then. I wouldnt change it. do u want me to send u a sample with ur lipgloss if I find a jar? 

Nothing to add here but I love the Specktra love.  (And I agree that the TF Glitter Glue rocks!)

Too Faced Shadow Insurance Glitter Glue is amazing! Love using them for pigments! Never thought about using it with the MES. Will have to remember that.

I might try that...  I've given away most of my MES though...  LOL

I use TF GG with my MES and Pigments TOO!!  I have sang it's praises MANY times... But I'll gladly join in again!  It works great with these products!

Try at least one. They are very pretty, slippery and light to medium coverage-depending on the color. For the price though they are not my favorite!

The kissable lip colors on the other hand were awesome, they felt like little pillows on your lips hehe... they YSL Glossy stains are exactly the same IMO They feel and wear identical to the kissable lip colours and they have a pointed tip applicator which is amazing for the cupids bow :)

I'm still a little remorseful for missing out on my Sephora VIB savings, because I totally planned on getting some of those YSL Glossy stains! Coincidentally, I'm trying to work through some MAC lipglasses before I buy any more glosses haha. I think by the time the next VIB sale comes around, I'll have finished some of my lipglasses up!

be sure to try then hun, also the Rouge Volupte by YSL are my fav lipstick formula in the whole world so so so creamy!! you only need like 1 or 2 as the line is limited (here in aus they are $55 each) but the two I have are by far my fave lippies :)

I think that's part of my hangup! They're about $30 here in the states and it's tough narrowing down which one I want, because I don't want a slew of YSL lippies. I will definitely check them out eventually, though!

I'm sooo intrigued by Venus lipstick. Yellow pink with pearls??? Where are the swatches!?

Off topic: how long does it take to finish a lipglass? I've almost used only two lipglasses from october 'til now but I've not even reached a half... maybe I've used only a third of product!

I've been trying to figure this out. I can only tell with cremesheen glasses, but my estimate is about 100 full applications all over my lips, with about one and a half charges on the applicator per application. I do usually wipe off my applicator with a tissue afterwards too, so make it 2 charges/application. I'd say I have medium sized lips, too, just for reference.

thanks.. so since in a lipglass there is more product I should use it every single day for about 4 months XD... maybe 5!

I'm trying to finish Emancipation lipglass (glitter & ice edition) and Honeylove lipstick, but it's a matte and it's not easy at all to finish a matte lipstick.. I took it with my first back to Mac last year!

back on topic I'm afraid I'll want a lot of lip stuff from this collection ^^

I so wish I could wear MSFs and blushes - some of the colours are gorgeous. I've only attempted one (natural) and it gave me wicked cystic acne. I wear the mineralize concealer without any problem at all. Does anyone know what's in the powder products that could cause that kind of reaction?

I will look forward to swatches and your hauls, but I can't go there.
