Yep i live in asia. so when i checked out the mac website, I didn't see extra sweet there i was guessing maybe it was another one of those asia exclusive colors.

On the other hand, we do not get the color rusty huggable lip color here either .... beats me why MAC choose to make certain shades exclusive to certain areas.

If i didn't remember wrong, MAC also did some asia exclusive colors for the mineralized range of lipsticks as well
I think it's purely from the sales point of view. The proportion of shoppers in Asia going for a particular type of colour is probably a lot lower than in another part of the world, so there's no point importing every single colour and having tons left over because they are not selling well. I think after so many years, they must have collected enough statistics on consumer preferences to make business decisions like that to maximize profit.

Another huggable lipstick swatch on me... Commotion. Kinda reminds me of one of the sheen supreme lip colors which is also similar in color to this.

Geeko your lips are just so cute. TY for all yr swatches. You picked the colors I was drawn to. If this formula isn't a greasy mess I will go back for fashion force.

I wouldnt say it is greasy... But it does feather out after a while so I have to line my lips with concealer n lip pencil to prevent the color from featherin out too much. Jus my 1 cents worth after wearin the huggable lip colors . Nice colors though.

I ordered Commotion sight unseen, and am wearing it today. I really like the formula for the most part. I can't quite describe the feel - it is definitely different to any other lippies I own but I wouldn't describe it as either heavy or shrink-wrapped. I'm not always a fan of stickiness but this is ok to me, and it seems to have decent wear. I definitely agree with Geeko about the feathering though. I think this collection should have released on counters here today, in which case I will swatch with a view to maybe picking up one of the lighter shades.

Here's Rusty. It actually is a tad bit more brown on me than the photo. I thinks its a perfect mixture of red/brown.  It's a very flattering shade. This swatch is one steady swipe. The closest I have to this is Laura Mercier lipstick in Sienna. Sienna definitely pulls more red.
I like this color. It has good color payoff.

I went into the counter today to check these out and I had to tell the SA that today's was the launch and wait until someone else could bring them up. On the upside, I was the first to be able to try these all out. I love Rusty so I'm glad I went for that at the last minute. I liked Cherry Glaze a lot too but I passed on that since I have so many reds already.

I really like this formula. It definitely needs a liner, but that's not an issue for me because I always wear one. I'm going to get a lot of wear out of these, particularly this winter.

I'm wearing OfP and loving it - natural, glossy lips. The formula is kind of stiff but that does not bother me. I have no feathering out (that might not be the problem with lighter colours). I don't want to get the darker/bright ones (other than Rusty that is) but I might check out for some more.

Are these moisturizing or just less dry than other alternatives? When they wear off do they leave the lips better than pre-wearing conditions?

They are quite comfortable to wear on the lips, I wouldn't say it's extremely hydrating but at least on my dry lips they are comfortable to wear without becoming patchy after after a few hrs like some other formulas.

Hm...my lips only get dry when I don't wear lip products and I typically use P&P under them, so it's hard for me to say if they leave my lips in better condition than before. I don't feel like I need P&P with these and my lips feel smooth when they wear off (long before 6 hours, that's nonsense). They certainly aren't drying in any way, and my lips feel like I'm wearing a balm while they're on.

I like them, but I wouldn't get them thinking they're a HG balm. More like a very lip friendly lipstick, at least on me.
