MAC cremesheen+pearl - Page 9

These are pretty, but way too light for me.  Money saved.

I want Japanese Maple or Pure Zen, but I'll have to try them in person. I have been looking for a colour like this for awhile with no luck so hopefully one of these works.

After seeing different swatches I'm just not sure about the others. Probably two others but I'll go try them on first.

No glosses for me -- I'm trying my hardest not to buy any more gloss so I'll wait and see if any of these become favourites or must haves. Glad they are permanent so I don't have to rush.

I know I want pure zen soon. Im really curious to see if it pulls peach or pink on me. My list also includes sunny seoul, pink pearl pop and floating lotus but I am going to wait until closer to spring for those.

I love all the natural colors, except the orange.  I plan on getting all the glosses and B@M for the lippies, except for the orange because it would look horrible on me.  I think all of these glosses will look great over my go to lipstick, Viva Glam V. I usually use this most days and switch around the gloss i put on top. I'm really excited for them. :)

I saw the whole collection on Thursday - only now getting a chance to sit down and make a few comments. 

First off, for me, the absolute hands-down stand out was Rising Sun CSG. It looks like a light apricot in the tube with beautiful golden shimmer. On my lips it read quite sheer, but just enough color to enhance and tone down my red lips at the same time. However, the main thing is it made my lips look insanely luscious and full - not sparkly, just letting the light reflect off the lips in all the right spots to bring out every curve. It was definitely one of those colors that is more than the sum of its parts.

The cremesheen lipsticks had a new texture, more like a cross between the new lustres and cremesheen. They're not quite as pigmented as some cremesheens, but they apply more evenly. Just don't expect full color coverage - they're more along the lines of Flamingo - but even smoother application. There are a couple of cute pinks that are very close to Flamingo and the orange is very cute too. They're all pretty subtle, though - the type of colors that will look perfect on just the right skin tone and maybe a little meh on others, but with enough variety that everyone ought to find a decent shade - think slightly pastel MLBB - that's the feeling here.

....that is so great!!!

I love Flamingo and it is really good to know that I can find a similar shade in the perm range now.

And again!!!

We never got this collection here in Germany and I was really sad that missed out on these lovely shades.

Belgravia is so pretty and I am glad that I can a very similar color with Pink Pearl Pop!!!

I missed that on T's site -- thanks for posting.  I just erased the question mark next to Pink Pearl Pop!

Shhhhhhh!  Don't say that.  LOL!!!

So what is it like compared to Venus on you?

I don't know why Pink Pearl Pop and Venus look the same in the swatches bc in real life Venus is wayyyy more muted....Pink Pearl Pop is brighter and intense ala Chanel Belgravia.

Thanks! I was thinking of getting (another) Venus BU but I think I'll just pick up Pink Pearl Pop instead.

Thank you sweetie!     I Venus so I am going to try PPP!!

Thanks for the swatches!

I had put it in my cart, and in the mad rush to check out with my By Request lippies, I ordered it!   Yaaaaaay!!!

I alllllmost got Saigon Summer, but passed until I can check it out in person! I'm intrigued by the sheer formula, I'm interested to see how it will play with my lips, but I don't know if I can pull off an orange with such strong yellow in it. Red orange I'm fine with, but not orange-orange! 

Thank you so much for the swatches purplerinne!!!

Belgravia and PPP are really sooooo close

That's my EXACT list -- you have impeccable taste!

These are available on macys.com for anyone who was waiting to order from there - you have to look under the lips category under MAC.
