way too light
here is swatch on my currently NC20 skin
I had to swipe (heavy finger swipe) three times to get color to show up this much
I would never be able to pull that off. That will definitely be null and void on my skintone. Thanks much.way too light

OK I have no luck lately. I got a dud from moody blooms too. Wtf. you know how light I am and I had to apply it with 168 and make sure to pick up a lot of product to get anything to show up on my face. And it still looked so dull, almost "dirty" kind of looking. I topped it with By candlelight to get some glow

I'm torn about LK too so off to the store on Thursday I go!

Did you try the 129? That's what i use (it picks up more colour than the 168) and it showed up with no problems on me. I even had to buff it down some. And we're skin twins, so i definitely know how light you are.

The only lipstick sold out on the Canadian mac website is good kisser! I thought one of the others would have gone first!

I don't think I have 129
I like 116 or 168 or 188 mostly for my blushes
I will try it again but most likely it's going back. I hate returning.

I'd love to but... We have a Nordstrom distribution center 15 minutes from me, but no storesI think it'll be pretty on you, but I think that if you're unsure you should maybe try to check it out in store before buying.
Closest Nordstrom stores are 4 hours away in Chicago or Minneapolis Ditto for MAC stores One of the things I hate about living in Iowa (Hoping to get back to the West Coast within the next year)...

Try the 116. It's like the 129 but smaller. It'll pick up more than the 168.

Oh no, that really stinks! I say maybe give it a go then if you think it's a colour you'd like to have.
Good luck on your move when you do it.

So relieved I didn't get 2 of Hearts Aflame as I thought it would be like Deeply Adored or Just a Bite. It was more like less brown Fixed on Drama on my skin.

Diva and Hearts A Flamed are extremely similar Im considering returning :-( I put both on top and bottom lip and can barely tell the difference.

Too bad you weren't happy with your purchases. I didn't care for SK, so I skipped it.

That's exactly my experience. Since I'm a titch darker and have a little natural redness in my cheeks (a bit, not ruddy), it does even less than that on me. All I get is a faint, almost ashy sheen.way too light

I tried a bunch of brushes: MAC 116, 129 and Hakuhodo 110 before giving up. I finally reached for the Haku so that I could see if the bristles were picking up any colour (they were).
