I don't get the "creamy" feel from PLWLL like others say they do....never have. They have all been a bit drier and more difficult to blend on their own (without the help of a little lip balm or a lipstick with slip), but that's to be expected since they are almost bullet proof in terms of wear. The regular pencils tend to be far more "creamy" IMO.

I think they are creamy when you apply pressure and draw a line, but they skip when you attempt to fill in your lips with a sketching motion.

Hmm... I'm kinda wary of Fashion Boost now lol. That'll be my first official l/l and I don't want things to get too fussy when I apply it >.>

I still don't think of them as creamy even in the example you gave. Pigmented, yes. Creamy...not so much. Not that this makes them bad. I wouldn't have as many as I do if they were bad. I actually don't fill my lips in using a sketching motion unless I only want the liner to be very light. I apply it with full opacity so that's where I'm basing my personal experience from. I may be in the minority on this subject though. Just for me, I find the regular pencils to be more creamy. :unsure:

GOOD LUCK today girls. I am so glad I went ahead and ordered Fixed on Drama online last week cause I am sick and not feeling it today as far as going to a counter. So glad I got FOD. It is lovely. But I will say that I do agree that it is very dry. I think it might be even drier than RUBY Woo.

It was for flat Out fab and all fired up. I went to Macy's, Nordstrom, and the actual MAC store and they all said no because it's a new collection.

Went in to my MAC to pick up my 2nd Fashion Boost liner and Flat Out Fabulous lipstick that I preordered. :) While I was in there I figured I should just try Steady Going and see if it works for me. I used it with In Anticipation lip liner

Excuse my messiness, its errands day. Not sure if I'm a fan. I'll wear it for a while and see if I like it. We'll see.

Mac needs to get it together with the b2m program that's why I always order what I really want online and b2m for my bu.thats not right they did that and we still don't really know for sure what lippies if any are le

Ok ladies.  Quick question for those of you in the know here.  My plan of action for tomorrow is to pick up Steady Going and Runway Hit as they are LE and possibly look at Flat out Fabulous.  I was just wondering what lip liners you would suggest to go with each of those lipsticks?  I don't have any lip liner from MAC so I'm relying on your expertise.  Any help would be appreciated!

I ordered More to Love prolongwear lip liner with my FOF and as far as I can tell it's spot on!

I have been lurking on this thread for a while. Can someone tell me which of these are LE?

According the the MUA from this morning, all the lipsticks are going to be PERMANENT. But the lip liners are not with the exception of the few liners in the retro matte collection that is already on the perm line.

It looks lovely on you, It's a very summery colour and looks great with your tan!

The MUA's have been giving different answers so sadly, at this point it still doesn't seem to be reliable to know what MAC is doing with this collection. I'm on my phone so I can't tell but if you can still see the lipsticks listed as one of the ones you can b2m for online then theoretically you should be able to b2m for them in store. Might want to print that out like Erine mentioned awhile ago just in case the counters give you a hard time.

Just wondering, have you worn the FOF lipstick on its own and also over Fashion Boost? Is there much of a difference in terms of the colour whether you use a liner or not? I'm just wondering if I should go get the pencil since it will pretty much just be for this particular lipstick and nothing else.

Wondering the exact same thing. And also if Fashion Boost is a dupe for Heroine liner
