YTL or no YTL?
I don't know if I should order that one or not. The collection will be available online here in a few days and I am a little on the fence about that one.
ATM I only have one cremesheen and that's Mystical from the AA collection. I really like the colour of that one but I am not sure if I am a fan of the cremesheen formula.
I don't know if it is just Mystical but that lipstick doesn't stay that long on my lips if I don't use a lipliner with it. The nice thing is that you can just reapply it without a mirror
because it is not so pigmented however I would prefer it if the formula was a little... different. IMO the formula is also a little sticky and I don't really like that.
What do you guys think about YTL?
You made me think about ordering that one bec it seems to be a really nice colour. I am just not sure if it is sth I will like and enjoy wearing.
Maybe it will be better not to order that one and wait for the mattes to come.

Hum... it's funny bec before the collection came out I was sure I would order that one and wasn't so sure about the other ones.
Now I bought HA and GK and I am not sure if I want/need YTL.

YTL and Hearts Aflame were the only two lipsticks that I liked from this collection. I would recommend that you get it. It is a great everyday lipstick. You can wear it to work, interviews, or Happy Hour. It is very versatile.

Thank U for your answers :) I might have to rethink the whole thing. I just don't want to have skippers remorse but I am also afraid I will dislike the formula. Too bad that one is an online exclusive. :sigh:

I missed Yield to Love. I went to buy it in stores the day it was released and by the time I got there it was sold out. I'm so disappointed because it looks so pretty.

YTL is/was an online exclusive, that's probably why you couldn't find it in your store

I only got good kisser and lingering kiss from this collection. I love them both but probably won't get much use out of them

I haven't heard anyone talk about Myself lipstick much for this collection. But it seems to be one of the first lippies to be sold out when a restock happens. Must be a really great lustre.

What liner has everyone been using with YTL?

I've mainly been wearing it on its own, but I've tried it with both Soar and More to Love and they both worked. Soar muted it a bit and More to Love brightened it. Cranberry would probably also be nice but I haven't tried it.

I could swatch the collection yesterday... Finally as I suspected, wasn't so wowd' by it. I do find that the quads pigmentation is pretty good...but for the shimmering and matte eyeshadows, I found them mostly gritty and super dry: this is a no no for me, even though I found the colors nice. Also, same for the Animal instincts blush, nice color, but I also found it too dry (and the color does not suit me). I did not try the lipglasses (I'm not into these), the lipsticks I liked the texture (usual matte etc...) but I'm more into bluish reds so these were not okay for me.. I am not disappointed, this swatch session just confirmed my first thoughts  based on all the swatches I saw. I took: Earth sign fluidline pencil (this one was the main article I thought I'd like), and 2 electric cool eyeshadows : Gilded Thrill and Superwatt... I think I'm going to take a back up of Earth sign , and Coil today ;)

I just tried on Atomic Ore and Deep Blue Sea fluid eye liners. They kind of remind me of the stila liners, but a lot slicker. Bought the blue one, going to order Atomic ore (my store was out of stock).

Thank you! It's an old limited edition MAC lipglass (my first online order after years of MAC addiction): Indigo Pink; from the Jeanius collection (spring 2011).

****

By the way, I went back to MAC yesterday, and after re-swtaching everything, I returned the Electric cool eyeshadows I took the day before.
Gilded Thrill is pretty but I'm afraide of it becoming bad soon (because of the spongy texture which seems "water-based" - I'm not a fan of liquid/creamy products because of this.)
Superwatt is super close to my favorite eyeshadow Woodwinked; ths I decided to use the "powder" only.
Coil is pretty too but, mixing Antiqued and Coppering eyeshadows give the same color and depending on the mix, even better color, so I passed....

I only took a back up of Earth Sign (which I wore yesterday to): it's the only item from this collection I have.
