Has anyone tried Cremestick Liner by M.A.C.?

[rubylips_a(TM)?]

it's a new retractable lip liner and i was wondering if any of you have tried it. What do you think about it?
I have full lips and I don't need or use a lipliner so if I buy it, I will use it as a lipstick. (I want something that adds colour to my lips but dont make them look bigger so i want a matte result.) I might go and try it but I would like to hear what u think about it first.

I really like the one I have. It applies nice and smooth.

They're alright, several other brands have that type of liner as well, nothing that I'd rave about though.

It's just okay to me. It's a little more matte than most other liners I've tried (MAC or otherwise), so it does seem to be long lasting. I do like the color I have, it's called Beurre. It goes with a lot of stuff for me.

Whether it's worth an extra $1.50 for less product than the regular liners, I'm not so sure. I'm on the fence whether I'll repurchase or not.

I just bought one yesterday and I would say it's okay. I'm also not sure if I will repurchase it. Will see.

i have creme o spice and it applies beautifully and really smoothly. i def. recommend!

They're fine, but I have one by Rimmel I think it is, and a couple other of the same type but another cheap makeup line, that I really don't notice a difference worth $10. The Rimmel one is great, and I love the shades of the MAC, but the cheaper one is pretty darn close and seems to last about the same amount of time and applies the same, etc.

I haven't but that picture on their site makes me just WANT it!
Anyone know what color this is? And, is that the model's natural lip color (the pink, not the liner)? or what color is that? lol TIA!

That's pretty much all I have to say about it too.

I believe that's Bare Venus with Cream O'Spice.

I agree with the other posters that the Cremestick liners are okay. I can't tell a great difference either between drugstore and departmental store liners.

*whew* Piika....I was afraid it was just me!

 

[user4]

yeah... the l/s is bare venus and the liner is creme o spice...

 

[Demosthenes]

I like it, mostly because I love automatic pencils. I hate having to sharpen and lose product. They apply well, and last a long time... there really isn't anything bad to say about them. I also like the narrow tip, which makes detailed contouring much easier!

thanks

*writes down bare venus & cream o spice* :-D

I just want to add I have both of those and I have to put a lip balm under and over bare venus to get it to look like that pick. It can be a wash out color if not used right.

 

[PrettyKitty]

I like my Creamstick, but the shades aren't nice, they are too dark.

Also, if you use it as a lipstick... you'll use it in less than 10 applications!

 

[MAC_addict_77]

I love it! As far as the picture goes, I have the l/s in bare venus and the liner in creamola and it looks exactly like the picture when I wear it.

 

[Viva_la_MAC_Girl]

I have 2 of them : Red Enriched & Cream O' Spice and I love them they go on just like they advertise "Creamsticks".

 

[Sushi_Flower]

I love my Hover liner and found the equivalent of it in Creamstick liner - Creamellow. I know i love this colour and so either way i'm going to repurchase it but not sure which version i'll buy this time, depends which i think is best value for money as i'm not too bothered about the origional ones beign dryer as i always use gloss with it.
The Creamstick one is meant to be lighter in weight and more expensive but someone said that could be because the other one is wood which weighs more and also they didn't know if the weight was actually the whole thing or of just the colour bit inside.Also the older ones you sharpen them so lose lots of product ineveitably all the time so it might come with more to compensate for that, whilst in the Cremestick you'll never lose product unless you break it or something stupid!

Hmm..so should i get the original one or the new one?

 

[mspixieears]

Some of the colours look really lovely...I was wondering what the differences were. Thank goodness they're not limited edition so I don't have to rush out and get them. I'm thinking of getting Cream o' Spice and perhaps Beurre. Cream o' Spice is apparently supposed to be the same as Spice but it looks quite light.
