That color freaks me out. I've tried colors like that before (I've actually tried Peachstock, too) and I want to cringe just thinking about it. I guess I'll wait until next week and get these in store. I'm not in a rush.

I've just received Mehr in the post and it is definitely darker than Temptalia's lip images.
I'd say its a dark rose colour.

IMHO Yash is not as orange as Peachstock, it is way better as a nude for me at least. Just the slightest touch of yellow to keep it from going Corpse white or grey. Siss is more yellow nude. Yash is just right.
The original Mehr looks more rosy to me than those swatches, but perhaps it is just the view from my monitor. I guess I will have to get the upgraded version IRL to know for sure...

Don't know if anyone is still subscribed here, but...
Some time ago I got Double Shot from this "extension" and love it. So, based on descriptions and swatches on-line, I recently ordered Mehr. It' s now permanent, but not in most MAC shops, so i couldn't swatch it. MAC describes it as "dirty blue pink"; Christine of Temptalia said, "Mehr is a subtly blue-toned medium pink."
I tried it on this AM and what a disappointment. On me Mehr is a peachy rose (!!), not at all dirty blue pink, unless somehow i have the wrong lipstick in a tube labeled Mehr (the stick does look like its photos, though). It is quite matte and opaque, although not drying, as described. But I am disappointed because i liked what i saw in on-line swatches and shots of people wearing it. I thought it would be a close-to-MLBB lipstick i could just slap on as needed. It's hardly worth sending back because of the cost of shipping. But now i'll have to fiddle to make it a blue-toned.
Any ideas? Suggestions? I have Hip 'n' Happy and Stone lip liners. Or i suppose i could mix it with VG N2 lipstick or put some VG N2 gloss over it. But that will mean carrying at least two products around instead of one... Grrr. So much for a simple MLBB l/s.
Reminds me of the bad old days - 1960s and 70s - when so many lipsticks and foundations looked fine in their containers but pulled orange on me.

On me Mehr is a nude rose kind of shade (thank heavens it's not peachy rose!). Where they got the "dirty blue pink" description is beyond me. Dirty - yes. Pink - fine, if you insist. But blue? Heck no!
I haven't worn it for a while but if I remember correctly it worked well with NYX Nude Rose and The Body Shop Pink Brown. By worked well, I mean they were good matches to the actual lippie colour. I also wore it with Just Wonderful, which gave it a bit of a plum tone. I haven't tried it with Hip & Happy, but I suppose it would work if you want it to pull more blue.
I hope you can find a way to make it work for you because the texture and application are top notch
