MAC - Creme Team Discussion

[amyzon]

Ooo Viva Glam. Good idea. I don't own it yet. And that's the perfect reason to go get it! IMO L/w would look good on pigmented lips, but not super dark skin tones because the purple is so cool and it may tend to ash out a bit. I like bright colors on pigmented lips, because it seems to bring out the true color - see Temptalia's swatches - you REALLY see the true color of Lavender whip, THE PURPLE, as well as Lickable - she has pigmented lips and colors show so true on her. My lips are so pale and my skin tone is very cool and on me l/w shows more of a frosty-pinkish violet.

Ok, so I caved and bought Partial to Pink. I'm glad I did! There's a bit of colour and it's not sticky, which I really like! The colour is pretty too, sheer but there's still a bit of colour. I won't run out and buy another one or anything, but the texture is the feature of this product.

Grrr, camera is not functioning well at all.

I'll try to have the swatches of it some time later today. D: Hopefully someone will beat me and you guys don't have to wait as long. XD

 

[damsel]

*Cries* I thought about this! I want to try this combo but Mega is long gone. It was on the site for a while but not anymore. Take a pic please!

Thanks everyone for the swatches! You make me want Lavender Whip now! Argh. Hahaha, but I can't go to a counter to try it on.. so.. hmm.. guess I'll have to risk ordering it..?

I found what I was looking for; thanks!

I was pleased to see that my suspicions were correct: Fashion Mews is definitely paler and frostier than Lavender Whip.
I think I made the right choice when I ordered Lavender Whip, since I look pasty with super pale lips.
Not that I couldn't crack, and end up buying Fashion Mews, too ...

^^^ Come on Carla...you know you want to....Fashion Mews was so pretty today!!

Soooo... now that I have both Lavender Whip & Fashion Mews I can say they look really different on me. I think LW is a color you can wear every day & most skin tones will be able to pull off. FM is more lavender on me & more of a pale porn star lip kinda thing... reminds me of Melrose Mood kinda in that way

I bought Crème Cup, but I'm not in love with it.

I need to make it a bit deeper, with a touch more brightness, but not too much. Any ideas?

look, who is talking about HK

i thought u said that u didn't want to go (know) to HK thread

i kinda miss ur comments thou

I got Lavender whip and it's sooooo pretty! It doesn't even look that pretty in the swatches, but IRL it's stunning!

I also like Lickable but it's not unique, really.
I tried coordinating lip gloss with LW and while it did look nice, it ruined my lipstick because it's so runny.

 

[GlamYOURUs]

Okay I went ahead and purchased the other ones. lol

Swatches are up in the swatch thread. I really LOVE these. I don't care that they are sheer, they have some color but have such a nice texture which is enough for me.

 

[blindpassion]

I saw these in person today. Really like them. Really.

I tried the lavendar lipstick and the lavendar gloss. I am VERY pale and it wasn't the most flattering color on me, but I loved the texture of the lipglosses and lipsticks! Wow!

I also tried the hot pink lipstick and the hot pink gloss, I almmoosstt bought these two but I'm going to think it over. I really like the texture of these glosses. I don't like that they are doe foot applicators.

Other then those two, nothing really stood out to me.

I went to Nordies and Dillards to check out this collection. Dillards didn't have it and Nordies didn't have all the colors in yet. I guess I should have just went to the free-standing store but I lived closer to the mall. I really wanted to pick up boy bait. Seems like boy bait isn't getting much love here. I hope it's not an ugly color in person.

Omg I love it! Its a pinkish berry color. It makes your lips so rosy but a natural rosy color b/c of how sheer it is. You need to get it! Melt In Your Mouth is pretty one and it would look so hot over any coral or orange lippie.

I am actually going to wear these more OVER lipsticks b/c they tend to bring the color out more and have the lipstick stand out.

Get etttt

I agree these are perfect lipstick toppers...usually I feel like I'm wearing waaaay too much if I do l/s + l/g but these are perfect. The texture is absolutely amazing! I wish they were keeping these permanent
