I got my 3 lipsticks today. I have very naturally pigmented lips and they weren't so bad. Rose Lily was the most pigmented out of the bunch. All of the lipsticks were very moisturizing. Here are my pics. Sorry for the bad editing. New to this.

Thank you love. I found it to be one of those "Fast Face" lipsticks. When you don't have time to make a bunch of decisions, you know it will always look good so you throw it on & go. Always good to have those.
i like all three of them on you. I skipped Naked bud but i think i might have to pick it up now. it looks so awesome on you.

Very beautiful rose lily looks sooooooo beautiful on u I keep going back and forward about ordering it your swatches is pushing me over the edge
 
Can't you just return them if you don't like them? I don't really know MACs return policy...but it wouldn't make sense for you to just be stuck with the product if you're not satisfied.
yes, you can return to any of the stores you buy from, stick with Nordstrom free shipping and free returns

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

Finally got my goodies..UPS was soooooooooooo late.

I LOVE everything! I BU HH & DD they are so pretty. Snapdragon is my favorite on. The lipsticks are divine on! The texture is silky & the colors are soft & sexy yet pigmented.

Azalea blush is pretty but much lighter in color than I expected it to be. The glow it gives is really pretty.

It looks like I got some pretty veining with mine, but it does swatch beige as you'll see in the next picture:


On the left is Perfect Topping MSF, the middle is Shell Pearl BP, and the right is Soft and Gentle MSF, my skin is NW15, natural light.

Ladies in the comments have been comparing PT to Shell Pearl and Soft and Gentle as dupes, but on me PT is a bit different. It's lighter than both for sure. Shell Pearl is much pink/peachier and Soft and Gentle is a little darker, bronzer and much more sparkly. While I'm a little disappointed that it doesn't lean pinker like I thought it would, to me it is different enough to justify keeping since I have a highlighter addiction, which can be hard when you are as pale as me. I will say though that half the reason I love MSFs is that they look pretty in the compact. Also, PT is BUTTERY soft, like holy crap. It is smooth and silky and has the best texture of my whole MSF collection. If texture for you is a big thing, I would at least swatch it in the store, seriously. It's like swatching a kitten or something.

And finally, I have swatches of the fluidlines below:

On the left is Phlox Garden, in the middle is Sassy Moss, and on the right is Ivy from the Mickey Contractor collection in case anyone was curious, in natural light. I did an eyeliner swatch on the left and a larger opaque to sheer swatch on the right so you get a good idea of the colors overall.

Ivy is much darker and greener than Sassy Moss. Sassy Moss has a gorgeous sparkly almost iridescent but not quite quality. Phlox Garden looks a little patchy because it is much matter that the other two, but you can see the eye liner swatch looks fine compared to the large swatch. It does buildup nicely and sheer out well, but it's a little harder to apply IMO.

If you have any questions about any of these swatches or products, let me know!
thank you for the comparison to Ivy, I was just thinking about that one. I still might pass since, I rarely use Ivy.

Not sure how importing products can double the price of things! The price of buying anything in Australia is ridiculous compared to the rest of the world - it usually gets brought up on slow news days. A lot of department store owners feel that we should be grateful we shouldn't be paying more and that we should be paying extra tax on things bought overseas - since we aren't supporting Australian business.

And yet the customer service over here sux

. Until our stores (Myer, I'm looking at you) improve their customer service, I will not feel guilty for buying most of my things overseas.

Back on topic - do you know if or when Fantasy of Flowers will be released here? Will it be available at Myers or DJs, or online only? The girls at my local DJs didn't know last week (but then they also told me Punk Couture wasn't being released in Australia, but it is available on the MAC Australia website)

No idea, the girls at my Myer never have any clue either..I usually just check the website daily when I know I want something LE and if they haven't got free shipping I go and look in-store that same day. My counter doesn't always get the full collections (or only 1 of each product), and the girls there are rude, so I normally try and order online where I can.
