I would think it's more similar to Capricious than Twig.

I love Prep + Prime for lips but I don't find that it helps much with the staying power. It just makes my lips smooth and soft and the l/s show up nicely over it.

The only product I found that seriously helps my lipstick to stay put for hours and hours is Guerlain Kisskiss Liplift

It also evens out my lip color and makes anything I put on top of it POP!

Well, I've been an addict for almost a year now, and Blanc Type is the only thing I've hit pan in! I haven't had it for that entire year, either, oh no! But, one I found it, it was love.

Can someone explain to me the love of Vanilla eyeshadow? I just don't get it! I think it's an utter piece of crap because the payoff and blendability suck. Blanc Type has a similar colour, but is smooth and delivers colour beautifully! I've just never understood.

Vanilla e/s is nearly my skintone. I love to use it under my brows as a matte highlighter (I love shimmer on the lid

so a matte highlighter is good if I don't want to look like a disco ball...). Moreover it is the perfect blending colour for me.The only other highlight colour I use is Nylon, no Shroom or Ricepaper or what is still there.

 

[dreamer246]

Hehe at this rate I'll never be able to B2M for anything, because nothing ever gets used up!

 

[gigglegirl]

I have to admit, I quite like Blanc Type---<3!~ Susanne, I too love shimmer on the lid, so I use this matte2 one as a highlight and blend it down a bit, and it just makes a fantastic transition, smooth, creamy. AHHH! It and Grain fight for my attention (some may find it strange, but I like grain for a neutral not shimmery highlight)

 

[gigglegirl]

i am curious about seeing vanilla in person! Its interesting, sometimes some people really love something but others hate *cough* Nanogold *cough*

 

[AudreyNicole]

I love Vanilla e/s. It is a bit lighter than my skintone, so I use it alot on my lids from lashes to brow, and then put color in the crease. I have had mine since May of last year, and it's nearly gone. I use it almost every day. I don't have Blanc Type, but it's on my list to get eventually. Maybe when I use up my Vanilla.

 

[elegant-one]

I like Blanc Type too! It makes the lid/highlight look flawless naturally.

 

[Sanayhs]

Blanc Type is my lover. If MAC ever d/c's it, I'll have a fit - and hoard, like, 20 of them.

I have two and they are almost completely gone, the only e/s I have ever went through two of..very satisfying

Oh and my other lover Spring Up e/s that I cannot find anywhere *sighs* Totally OT but has anyone ever had good luck with the Gone but not forgotten program? I'm still patiently waiting

 

[cupcake123]

I have no highlighter but Femme-Fi so maybe I'll have to check out Vanilla and Blanc Type. And I finally got my HK fix so now going to re-check Creme Team again. So excited. I totally skipped HK lippies just for Creme Team.

 

[color_lover456]

i think vanilla works really well... but only for a highlight. i use it only to blend out that line of color that i otherwise would have if i used a darker, shimmerier lid color...


yea i get a lot of joy from hitting pan too! i don't depot, so all of my empties are things that i have used up... and i am currently going at the rate of about 1 b2m per year... it usually includes two lipglosses, two brush cleansers, and two larger, longer lasting products... go me!

 

[cupcake123]

Haha, I need to get their brush cleanser. Added bonus that it could be used to b2m.

 

[Sanayhs]

One does NOT need to own both Vanilla and Blanc Type if you ask me. Both will work as a matte highlight and to help blend out harsh lines, but Blanc Type also has enough payoff that you can use it on the lid.

I totally forgot about the cleanser being b2m, I just went and washed some brushes when I saw color's post.

 

[Sanayhs]

It's funny, I had one of the main MAs at my local MAC tell me not to bother with the brush cleanser (which was fine by me, because I had no intentions of doing so anyway!).

 

[Heiaken]

I have to say that this collection is one of the collections that I'm not interested at all! I'm not much of a lipstick gal and not interested in the glosses since thay have to little product and pay a lot more that norm l/g. And we aren't even getting this collection in Finland..

 

[dreamer246]

So I've managed to reduce my lemming to 2 items - Lavender Whip and one c/g (Partial to Pink or Creme Anglaise). Sigh. Do I need L/W if I'm intending to get Fashion Mews? I actually think Fashion Mews looks a lot prettier, judging from the swatches. Hopefully I get to compare them IRL when HK launches here in a month's time.
