I love the Nars multiple and those are way better imo than casual colors. i only have evening stroll. i got it cuz the color is amazing purple. and you right liba it does feel heavy. and i do wear it on my lips cuz the color is sooooo pretty but i feel i have to reapply alot and i only will right after i wash my hands for obvious reasons and im a germaphob. i dont mind pots but if your on the go u better have antibacterial hand wipes to use it or a spatula. i will prob play with mine this week and see if i want more. it really depends on the colors for me they sound like my kinda pinks and orange so far

I guess it must depend on your skin, because my casual colors work better on my lips than on my cheeks, where I find they never dry down as much as I'd like - they feel a little heavy…and I like the Cremeblend blushes.

I think Casual Colors is a kind of weird product that's better for people who either don't have a lot of makeup already and/or people who love a monochrome look or just want a super simple makeup routine with one product and out the door. If you're ready, willing and able to use separate lip and cheek products, even on the go, the Casual Colors aren't specialized enough for lip or cheek for someone who is particular about their makeup and knows what works really well vs. what works well enough for convenience.

One thing, the last batch of CCs had some really nice colors, and that's what made me buy them, but just in general, I'm not crazy about products in pots I'll have to use a lip brush or my fingers with - if they made something like the CCs but that came in a tube or a stick, I'd be more inclined to get use out of them.

totally agree.. they were heavy for me, and with my oily skin they didn't last. I wish I hadn't bough them b/c I don't use them and I actually prefer Chanel's cream blushes. Although, I don't like cream blushes in general...

The only casual colors I have is evening stroll too. I love that lavender color. I wish it was a lipstick. I have never used it as blush. I don't think I would like cream blushes.

I gotta say, I don't love Casual Colors. They're drying on my lips and never seem to dry down on my cheeks. I agree with the statement that they feel heavy on the cheeks, that's a great way of putting it. I don't like to feel makeup on my face or work hard to make something work for me. Luckily I was able to get mine at a CCO, so I don't feel quite so bad about it!

I'm a little disappointed with Red Balloon in that pic. It doesn't look too bright. But of course I will wait for swatches.

Isn' t Red Balloon the one in the first pic....the pink/fuchsia one?
It is described as "Hot Fuchsia"....

To me Head in the Clouds (the red one in the second pic) looks like Viva Glam RiRi...but I think I am the only one
