The other half of it is more on the darker burgundy plum side

How about PE and Hang Loose MB? These look kinda close judging by the swatches i've seen.

I wonder if Hang Loose will show up on me (NC35).

I keep having thoughts of Call My Bluff too. Is anybody in love with that l/s?

Just a quick question...I was wondering if the sticker on the bottom of the cremesheen glasses only have the color name on it or the "cremesheen glass" as well?

I checked w/ Boy Bait and it just has the name on the sticker.

I think I might have been already in bed at 3:00, but I did stay up late - I'm on vacation!

And I love the warm summernights here, I could stay up all night, it's so beautiful and peaceful!

Nope. PE is more on the fuchsia base & darker pink side & HL is more on the yellow pink side in comparison, however HL is still a light/med. soft barbie pink

I'm pretty sure that someone posted that yes it did show up them in that color range. But, this one may be good to check out first to be sure.

I went to the store today, tried on Call My Bluff lipstick but it wasn't anything special on me. Pass.

I swatched VG Gaga and All Styled Up side by side, and they looked 99% identical. Pass.

However, I did discover Chatterbox lippie and fell in love with it. Hehe.

^Chatterbox is my favourite lipstick! Love the colour and the finish

It sure is! I do not know why I did not like it in the past, but that was when I was just getting into MAC so maybe I still wasn't sure what works for me and what doesn't.

I don't think I want to pay for a perm lippie when I can B2M for it though (that's about the only thing I can B2M for here). Waiting for the day when I have enough empties to trade for it instead!

Just a little update: I tried it again, still didn't work, so I returned and got Vanilla Pigment.

I have some pink liners so I'll try that

ooo mauve lilac i can do =)

the only liner i tried it with was naked liner...i filled in my lips and it brought out the true color which i am WAY too afraid to wear outside the house

I am currently using the hay out of my A Little Bit of Sunshine blush. I love it. Obsessed. The glittery goldish part I put on as a cheek highlight which looks fabulous on darker skin (even hubby noticed it first time on) and the matte brown part I haven't figured out what to do with, but I'm thinking it will have to be used as another of my eyeshadow blending colors because that doesn't side doesn't show up on my skin at all. Highlighting with the gold makes neutral looks stand out more for some reason. Loves it!
