drinking & showing off our lovely lipsticks. Cheers dear friend!

well, I love HITC

I don't know why I'm stalling---lol. Then again, yes I do considering the vast amount of lipsticks I have purchased lately.

Guess one more can't hurt!

Thanks doll!

I can't decide on happy go lucky. I ordered red balloon and love it. I saw that HGL is a slightly deeper version of Maybelline fuchsia flash which personally is a bit too bright on me, wrong undertone i think So im not sure that i should get it.

I love HGL. I am pale and cool toned. I simply cannot wear CYY, because it is too bright and looks ridiculous on me... but I can wear HGL (wearing it today, and EVERY lady in my office has stopped me to comment). If you're on the fence, you might want to at least swatch it. I ordered 2 BU's. Oops

A couple of my MAC lipsticks just went bad - they were around 20 years old and were still good two years ago. Keep them in a cool dark place and they should last that long...

Snob and Sweet experience looks similar enough on the lips, but I found my wet n wild think pink is damn near a dead on dupe for sweet experience.

Snob and Sweet Experience look quite different on me.

Snob is cooler and not as intense as Sweet Experience - it's a more neutral pink, but not really a full-on cool pink. I can put on Snob and not think twice about it.

When i put on Sweet Experience i keep looking in the mirror wondering - some days i blot it down or use a greyish or taupe lip liner to "tame it" a bit. I'm happy to have Sweet Experience because it's a peachy pink that works on me.

Wow that long! Thank you for the info!

I keep mine in the fridge. Hoping that will help the shelf life! 20 years is a long time!

Snob and SE are nothing alike on my lips either. SE is much warmer and I actually prefer it to Snob!

I know some folks didn't find Toying Around to be too similar to Toxic Tale on them, so today I tried them again, one on the top lip and one on the bottom and yep, for me they are perfect dupes. I couldn't tell one from the other, except Toxic Tale might have been only a tiny hair more glowing, but that was probably due the Satin texture compared to Amplified.

I finally cracked open Lots of Laughs gloss and it's seriously adorable. I applied a thin layer and patted it into my lips and then did a second layer and it looks perfectly smooth. I honestly didn't own another gloss this color, so I think I'll get plenty of use out of this one. I'm wearing it with Stereo Rose 2.0 on the cheeks and Desert, the taupe from the Carine Roitfeldt Desert Camo palette with a little Lilly-White on the eyes with plenty of In Extreme Dimension Lash so it's very 60's looking.

I can't wear Snob at all, but Sweet Experience is very cute on me. I didn't buy these types of pinks for years because they just never were right on me, but this year seems to be the year of the warmer pastel pinks from MAC, so at last I can indulge. I honestly can't say which I like best between Sweet Experience, Be Fabulous Mineralize l/s and Go For Girlie Patentpolish. It's nice to have options! I'm also enjoying my first day wearing Lots of Laughs gloss, which is in this same family of baby pinks a warm NC15 can actually pull off, and I've gotten a lot of use out of Tender Mineralize gloss, which is much sheerer but the same type previously impossible pink too. I had to pass on Pinkfringe, though - that one wasn't all that great comparatively.

No pictures? I also love Lots of Laughs. I put it on over Myth and loved the look that I got. I've never seen Toxic Tale but I love Toying Around!

And I have been loving the warmer pastel pinks this year--finally!

Yea I would say snob and sweet experience can be duped with a liner, but my wet n wild think pink and Cover Girl's Penolope are twins to sweet experience. Also I swatched likable on my hand , and kind of agree with someone saying that is like red balloon.
