i swatched it when it came out and my gag reflex kicked in. I didn't try it on, but it looked horrible on the back of my hand and that is how I pick my lippies. It was way too bright, frosty and the color was just plain unappealing and I like frost, actually. It's a def skip for me.

I found a swatch here: MAC Euristocrats II Collection - Lipstick Lip Swatches
I think I can bypass it for sure. Perhaps I'll go for Crosswires or See Sheer instead.

I was actually interested b/c of the swatches I had seen, but playing with it in person is what turned me off. Maybe those who use it play with it to get it to come out a certain way. Lippies shouldn't have to be so difficult. I have brave new bronze and that application is tricky enough.

I have it and I love it! However, I have to use it lightly if I'm using it alone. It's a Frost, but it's very creamy so if you go too heavy with the application it can be a bit much. I wear it with either a (you can use Chestnut or Cork) or paired with Made to Love l/s from Color Craft.

I LOVE it with pink lemonade lipglass over it. I bought a backup. Id been looking for a color like that for ages. I thought that virgin isle would do it but when I finally got my hands on it, it was wayyy to bright. This is a perfect color. I'm NC40 btw. HTH!

I know what you mean. I had Costa Chic and sold it because, although pretty in the tube, just didn't work. The colour just didn't look right. Maybe my lips are too pigmented - I'm not sure...
Im NC42 for reference.

LOL , oh no I'm sure you could pull it off , especially since you don't have big ol' bubblegum lips (like me !!) , you can really pull off nice bright colors, it gets really risky for me .
