I couldn't find the post but someone had requested comparison swatches between (L -R ) Huggables Commotion and HH I think Commotion has a little more pigmentation but ultimately they look the same on me as far as actual color.

I also saw a request for (L - R) Hibiscus and Dreaming Dahlia. Hibiscus has more red and is darker than DD

Hope this helps some folks!

Thanks so much!! I posted it in the huggable thread. I'm glad HH will satisfy my commotion needs! Better to save that $20... Although I love the color so much I'm contemplating a back up but I know I don't need to. I wonder if there's any cheaper dupes(I didn't have any "purples") I'm still disappointed in my perfect topping... I love the sheen and how it doesn't have the glitter of soft and gentle but it's so similar. I might call and ask for a new one but it's not worth it if it would swatch the same... Here's mine again for reference

I'm Happy to see all the lovely swatches. I'm gonna head to a counter on Thursday to swatch for myself. I like this collection but I have to try before I buy with this one!

 

[danisheree]

Snapdragon looks gorgeous on you! Side note - psychologically, $16 seems so much more to me than $15!

Yes, it does seem like much more!! Lol! Change is hard!

Happy Birfdayyyy to all these pretty ladies that I get to hang out with at Specktra !!!!!!!!!!

Mosha! Birthday Shout-outs are the best kind in the world! Much Thanks!

...... (Although now Mosha, you have me standing in front of my fridge- scanning with the precision of a Cyborg Ninja- for remnants of birthday cake....LOL! )

Better pictures of my perfect toppings. With flash.

I found some swatches online where the old PT and S&G look almost identical colorwise. Perhaps there were old PTs that were just as peachy as the new ones?

I wanted to compare my better one to the seemingly beige one...

Perfect topping 2014 on NC15 for reference. The left is the one with more purple and link veining. You can't really tell but the left is slighter pinker/darker in person than the one with less lavender.

 

[Oceanic Lily]

ok ok, so she has the hair.. I have the cigar !!!

hot pink pants

and, my old worn out sneakers. oh yea

I will be 54 in Jan.. and just came in from my run and my dance class.. ha
now for some vino!

Inarguably, the magic stick of the Great cigar chewing,

sass/scene chewing Dames of the the fifties has successfully been passed on to the great New Dames of modern day scene stealing, dauntingly witty Babes like the illustrious Tina Fey

Amy Poehler, Emma Thompson, Melissa McCarthy

and others of their ilk! That you can rock the power of Neon Pink pants, savor a Sancho Panza, while keeping us in stitches with the visual of your traipsing in from dance class in sneakers (that have long since given up!) just confirms your place at the dais of funny women! Lady- your vino has been decanted & awaits!
Thanks for the Birthday wishes!

 

[MACina]

They are sending me a replacement now, hopefully it will be better!

Fingers crossed!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Serenityy]

Gorgeous, Serenityy

Fingers crossed!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you MACina!

And yes fingers crossed its not another Beige Topping!

OMG.

It's Perfect Beige and Stereo Peach. So sorry you got such a crappy PT.



That’s funny….

My order shipped. I hope I get this on Monday. Most times I get it on Saturday though. I'm excited to get my hands on Snapdragon. Wasn't on my list at first but the color patch on the site won me over. Hoping all my lippies have nice opacity. *fingers crossed*


I never depend on the color patch Mac has on their website. I have sent many lipsticks back because of that.

Here's me wearing Stereo Rose on my cheeks and Rose Lily lipstick. Loving 3/4 of my haul, pretty good I guess lol.  

Love rose lily on you!

Here are some of my lip swatches.

Snapdragon


Naked Bud


Fleur d'coral


I don't like them. It seems like it took a million swipes just for them to show up on my lips. I'm so disappointed in this collection. I hope I love my HH when it comes on Thursday.


This is why I don’t buy MAC Lustres. I don’t want to spend 16 dollars for sheer colors. You’re better off buying L'oreal Color Riche Balms they are much cooler for half the price with the same if not better color payoff.

 

[MatteMacLips]

It worked out for me, I actually like Snapdragon.

I've been on vacation and my phone broke so I haven't been able to get on here. I have HH and SD on its way. What are the must haves? Based on the few pages I've read I'm thinking Power Petal and Rose Lily? I don't want to regret missing out

 

[MissTania]

Yes, I did back them up right away! They are just too pretty to not have a bunch of them. I think PinkMaraschino bought bunches of Snapdragon

maybe 5-6 last count

Thanks for the moral support

I shall back up, and also add Fleur DC.

Ladies, some more beautiful comparison swatches on this site which sold me on Fleur DC..

Do you think I (NC10) could wear Perfect Topping allover? This would be the only reason for me to buy it because I sure as hell don't need another peachy MSF that I only use on my cheekbones.
