yay!! I don't find it hard to apply or chalky at all. It builds up after a while of wear, but it's rare for a lipstick not to do that on me. I can't wait for you to try it!oohh i love how it looks on u.. im so glad i decided to grab mlle now.. i was worried that it wont look very good.. bt seeing it on you makes me so excited!!

Mlle looks great on you!!
So I wore Mlle today and it pulls more nude on me? Like the perfect nude actually for my lips and skin coloring...
or maybe it's just because it's the lightest pink I own??

I went over to check out the collection this evening at Macy's & only a couple items were left; actually only 2 of the 5 items I wanted to check out. The only e/s I was interested in was Fresh Daisy. To me, it looks like White Frost w/ the sheen finish of Crystal Avalanche added in. I have so many whites in different finishes that I just don't need anymore.
I wanted to check out the 3 lipgelees, although the only 1 I knew I might be interested in purchasing was Fashion Flower, however, this & Budding Beauty were sold old. So, I checked out Now in Season which is a very pretty, mildly yellow based gel that has turquoise, gold &, I think, maybe a tad of pink glitter particles (can't remember -- someone, please correct me on this if I'm wrong.) This color by itself did nothing for me, but if I were a wearer of lipsticks in the orange family, I would have definitely bought it, but I'm not. I tried it over CB96 & it paired well; yellow over orange always looks nice. I wore it out of the store by itself & in a very short time, the base lost it's yellowness & it just looked like I had glittered clear gloss on. As Temptalia said, it is close to Bubble Lounge from the Cham Pale collection because of the pale gloss color & both having the same colored glitter.
Originally, the coral gelee (sorry, forgot the name) appealed to me, but in seeing the swatches & some of your opinions that it wasn't highly pigmented 'caused me to lose interest. I assume that if used over oranges & corals, it would look great. Anyway, it was sold out so it's beside the point.
The only lipgelee I really wanted to check out was Fashion Flower as Temptalia said it was close to Luxure, but more pink -- although from her swatches it looked more like the silvery pink of Sin-tillation to me -- which I, stupidly, didn't get a backup of. As I have (2) Luxures, 1 Sin-tillation & (3) Shift to Pinks, I was interested in seeing how this compared & if it warranted purchasing. Oh, well, there'll be more lipgelees coming & I'm not exactly wanting.

Yayyyy! I got Summer Shower!!! I am so happy I got hold of something for once. And I LOVE it!! My sis applied a layer and was like 'hmmm..I like this' LOL. She called it opalescent and it's true
The teal/aqua sparkles really do show up for me. I can't wait to layer this BUT..I am so loving it on it's own, too!! Just one layer on it's own, very pretty!
I may also try this out with just a liner underneath, perhaps in synch..not sure about naked. Loving it so much!! So worth finally spending a $20 bill on MAC. Since I'm so broke. lol.

I still haven't played with my goodies yet, but the more I look at it I'm re-thinking Budding Beauty. My lips are super pigmented and it's just gonna either end up looking like a clear gloss or a milky mess on my face. Might have to sell or swap it.

I agree with you about it looking nice on its own. I could layer it, but I find the- as you rightly say- teal and opalescent shimmer show well enough on their own. I find it shows up on my lips far better than it seemed to with any of the swatches I'd seen on line before.Yayyyy! I got Summer Shower!!!

Woa, I tried Alpha Girl for the first time today, I love this as a blush! And Katred you were right about the Bright Sunshine being a great all over highlighter, just as nice as Play it Proper. I love the Summer SHowers lippy too. Would I be too crazy to use a blue eyeliner on my lips to try and make the color pop? I was gonna use the blue one from TTB. ( I am spacing the name right now)

My boyfriend surprised me today with some goodies from this collection..
I originally only got 3 things from this collection (Fresh Daisy & Groundcover e/s, and Ever Hip l/s)
He got the lipstick in Summer Shower, which I wanted but was sold out. He also bought me a backup of CYY (it was the last one).
I was so thankful when he gave me this stuff. I love him<3 he's an awesome guy.

I totally agree. On me it is nothing like any of the swatches. A true example of why you should always go and try stuff out (if possible) when you are unsure. I knew it could go either way - good or not so good. I just had a feeling about this one as I am in love with the effect of teal shimmer now, so I just had to jump on it.
I'm happy to hear that you are loving it, too!!
