I just ordered Style Packed? and Knockout. I missed out on Caqui and wanted to get this one instead ( i know it's online, I am tempted by it:)). I am debating that lip pencil Entertain me because it looks like the perfect liner for CYY!

hi, i saw your note about caqui and wanted to let you know that today when I was on the maccosmetics US site I was able to order Caqui myself... if you look under "goodbyes" you can still purchase Caqui at this time... I didn't know if you knew that so I wanted to spread the word to my fellow mac addicts on here!! :)

For me, I find that the gloss makes the pencil breakdown. I don't know how or why, but it settles into my lip lines. Liners always work for me with lipstick. It might be different for you, though. Those two colors would look great together.
thanks for the heads up love! I can pass on the liner then (for now...lol)

it is probably alot like how if you have a hard time removing nail polish, you should add a top coat and then removing the polish will be much easier... because it binds more to the new coat than to your nail... so maybe the same happens with a sticky lipgloss because the pencil under it comes away with that stickiness... lol i'm no makeup chemistry major but that is my thinking because i have the same problem when i put gloss over pencil...

Ohh I loved that collection of glosses too! I know that Milani made almost identical/dupe lip glosses for all the colors in that line... I don't know if you have tried them but anyone who missed out on dare to dare glosses should check the Milani ones out! They are sooooo much cheaper!!

I got Tour de Fabulous lippy b/c I figure the epynomous product is usually the best, but now thinking I should have grabbed a Knockout!

Well I know I said in the past glosses breakdown liner on me but I decided to try again today. I put my new and favorite pencil chicory under caqui and it's amazing. I don't know if the breaking down is a problem with just lighter colors or if these two shades are such a great match, but it works. Maybe it's because I use the prep and prime lip now. Anyway, I'm out and about but I know my lip pencils are waiting for me at home. I can't wait to play.

That's a great analogy.

Just played with my lip pencils. Love them all. So beautiful and just as pigmented as the old Mac liners. I'm really turning into a liner girl here. Never expected that. I can't wait to wear Embrace Me with Pink Poodle. PP is one of my fave lipglasses, but I haven't worn it in awhile. This is a reason to dust it out. Just Wonderful is so amazing and it's a color Mac really needed in it's lineup. Possibilities are endless with this. At first I though Entertain Me and Lasting Sensation would be too similar, but they aren't. LS isn't as loud as EM. Since I am an orange/coral freak these liners will definitely get a lot of use. I'm so happy and impressed with these that I might get Have to Have It.

I got my glosses today, but not before I had to go to work. Only just now looking at them and comparing with my other glosses. The Tour de Fab gloss IS similar to Strange Potion, but it's definitely pinker. Knockout is just a shade or two darker than Caqui. I don't have ANYTHING like Style Packed and Rich Bounty though. Can't wait to try these babies out!

I think I might place another order with Just Wonderful & Embrace Me. I'm hoping Embrace Me will allow me to "embrace" my Show Orchid more often, (haha). That's one color that definitely tends to feather on me. Crossing my fingers Embrace Me will help keep Show Orchid in tact without sacrificing the color.

I'm still curious about Style Packed and Tour de Fabulous. I'm so tempted to buy them but a part of me is nagging to swatch them in-store first, if only because there's a limited number of swatches online...
