Yes, you are right. I tried it out too this morning (it's Monday here already) and it picked up only a little colour. I think I might try it once again with the glitter bomb Shimmermint, if it helps to prevent the fall out.

It's sort of resolved. I decided to just buy Cozy Up at the mall yesterday. I wasn't sure if I'd like the color and it would be much easier for me to return it to the store if I didn't like it instead of having to ship it back to MAC. I called to request a refund and was told I needed to wait 7 business days to make sure the lipstick wasn't shipped separately by mistake. I have to call back Wednesday to request my refund.
While I was at the mall, I also picked up Fireside MES, Warm Companion lipstick and an Apres Chic BU. I wanted to get a Hot Chocolate BU, but the stores were sold out. Thank goodness I ordered one online last night since Hot Chocolate is sold out now. The 205 brush also ended up in my cart.
I like Cozy Up. It's definitely a peach nude on me. I like it a lot better than Peachstock because it's darker and more peach. I barely wear Peachstock because I have to baby it too much. Cozy Up falls in the middle of Peachstock and Spice for me. I forgot how much I love Spice lipstick. I'm so glad that I have a BU for it. However, I don't feel the need to get a BU for Cozy Up.
I'm not sure how I feel about Warm Companion. I may return it. I agree that it's like a frost Cusp of Dawn. I think I'm not a fan of frost lipsticks in general, although I love Ruffian Gold and Grey Friday. I'm going to play with it some more before returning it. I saw someone mention that they applied it to the center of their lips like a highlight. I'll give that a try.
I didn't pay attention to the veining of my Fireside. I took whatever the MUA gave me when I was at the register. I'll see if I can get pics later. The tester I swatched appeared like a plum brown on me. I don't know if the one I bought will look the same way.
Ice and Silver Birch MES are the only things I have left to get from this collection. But I swatched them again yesterday, and they both look very similar on my skin. Now I'm not sure I need to get both. Do any of you think they're very similar?

I still need to find a 235 brush. I was able to hunt down the 128, 234 and 179. I hope I'll be able to get my hands on a 235.

Just got back from the MAC counter with my haul!
I B2M-ed for Apres Chic and Haute Altitude, and will probably pick up Hot Chocolate when it goes on Debenhams.
I had an £18 gift voucher and £15 worth of points, so I also picked up 3 of the MES - Ice, Silver Birch and Fireside. I really liked the dark blue-y purple one too (can't remember the name!) so I'm going to grab that online too
So, I got 5 things in the end for just £16.50! I'm very happy
And the MA gave me very generous samples of the new BB cream in Extra Light as well as Studio Fix in NW10! I can't wait to try them!
Did anyone get the duofibre eye brush? I'm not sure I need it since I'm pretty sorted on MES application with the 235

That' a great haul and some savvy shopping you did there! I got the 287 brush, but haven't used it yet. I didn't want to miss it if it turns out to be something great.Just got back from the MAC counter with my haul!

I've bought almost every new MAC brush that's come out in the past 2 years, and there's only been one that I've regretted (the 234 - I have no clue what to use it for!)
I'll think about it...

I would love to hear your thoughts on the BB cream and the foundation
Did you try Fireside at the counter?How does it look on your skin tone?More brown/plum/green?

Same. I've bought quite a few brushes this year but I still feel like there's room for more (unlike my makeup which is really at max right now).

I only swatched it on my hand, but as I'd just cleaned off a load of l/s swatches with a face wipe it went on "wet". And it was such a gorgeous purple/green duochrome on me, I love it! I might do some swatches now if my camera cooperates....nice haul, gracie!

I hope that it will look similar on me.But,since I am pale and cool toned too,it should do.
Thank you, gracie

Spice - Cozy Up - Peachstock - Innocence, Beware!
Fireside - Frost at Midnight - Winter Pursuit
I used the 239 brush to swatch the MES with no base. Fireside is very purple toned on me. It's cloudy, so I'm not sure if that's coming across in the pics. Winter Pursuit is also more peach and warm looking on me than it seems in the photos.

So happy I ordered my Hot Chocolate and a BU before it went out of stock. I can't believe I was going to skip this lippie completely!

Dry swatches of Ice, Silver Birch, Modern Pewter EDES (for Corally) and Fireside
They really are SO much better wet - lots and lots more depth, shimmer and pigmentation!

They were a lot prettier than I was expecting! I'd have got the blueish one too, but my mother was with me and I didn't want to seem like too much of a MAC addict...Thank you very,very much for the pretty pics and swatches!
