I think (sadly) this entire collection is a skip for me because of the stupid packaging. I keep trying to make myself like it, or at least tolerate it, but its just not going to happen.
If I can get over it, I think Lush Life and All Out Gorgeous but in addition to my dislike of the packaging, is my thought to discourage MAC from pushing into this new price range by giving them money!

I'm also not sure if I'm still gonna buy one for the exact same reasons.

I don't get why everyone's so disappointed about the packaging. I could care less what a lipstick is shaped like and the difference in its container to that of other lipstick containers.

Its an aesthetic thing. Personally, I like my makeup to look attractive/pretty in addition to being a nice color/good product. All the colors in this collection are easily dupeable, making the packaging a bigger factor than it normally would be. If these were unique, gotta have it kinds of colors, I would care less about the packaging. But, both factors make me not want any of it.

For me, its a functionality issue. When I say I hate the Prolongwear containers, its because they don't work right. Okay, there is a little OCD in there too, I like them all to look basically the same shape, although I am okay somehow with the special packaging ones being a different color. But they have to be functional.

They do look like they emphasize lines and dry patches there.

I still wanna give them a try, it's either Posh Tone or Grande Dame for me. Waiting for swatches of those.

This packaging is very different from the PLW. I'd give it a try.

It almost looks like they make the lips chap and peel while still applied.

The one I was interested in, Strikingly Fabulous, looks awful in that pic. Different people are affected different ways by lipsticks though, so I'll wait and see if this problem carries over to other swatches as well. If so, easy skip for me.

Which would be just as well. Aside from the cost, I have way too many lipsticks as it is to begin with.

Ladies who Lunch.......such a funny name. love it!
It is such a cute name!! I love the color, I hope it turns out to be a nice shade. I also like Elegant Accent. I think the model needs to do a lip exfoliation .. I'll wait to see how they look on Christine on Temptalia.

I need to see them in person because I don't get if the packaging suits my taste... or not.
Aside from that, I want swatches so badly... I'm a sucker for lipsticks and I'm really curious about this new formula!
