MAC - Tendertones 08 Discussion

Re: MAC Tendertones 2008

WHY did I discover these?? I kept telling myself it's just lip balm and I can get it for 5 bucks at the drugstore, but today the MA showed me the Tendertones and I was SOLD. I got Hush Hush and Take a Hint, and I really want to go back for Tread Gently. They're so soft and sweetsmelling, and really moisturizing. Please MAC, I can't afford it, stop coming out with these lovely products!

Re: MAC Tendertones 2008

EZ Baby is making me certifiably insane. I have never loved a lip product like I love this one (not even Dazzleglass *gasp*). I went through all of my lip stuff this morning, and will be selling off alot of it. I have found my HG in EZ Baby! I haven't touched ANY of my other lipstick/gloss since I got EZ Baby and my Dazzleglass!

I've got Pucker yesterday and I love it!

It's really pretty and juicy color.

I totally agree! Hot & Saucy has become my fast favorite. It is sheer enough that it doesn't look overdone but gives a nice pop of color that brightens my face.

Re: MAC Tendertones 2008

I just don't get what all of the excitement is over these. I swatched a few in the store today....Honey Bare, Hush Hush, and Take a Hint, they were super sheer. HB and HH looked almost identical while Take a Hint was a bit more pink. These were sheer when I swatched them on my hands and, since I have almost no pigment in my lips, I doubt they will show up. I wish they had more color payoff.

I did buy Honey Bare to try over lipsticks. I'm hoping it will help condition when I wear some of the frosty lipsticks which can be drying.

I felt the same way before I tried them. They are buildable as far as color goes. I am very fair (NW15) and don't have pigmented lips at all and they do show up on me. I think that these are going to be wonderful for the summer months.

I have both, both are great, but if you want one choose Pucker!

Re: MAC Tendertones 2008

I tried Hush Hush over Viva Glam II lipstick yesterday and I thought it looked really nice. VG II is my only Satin finish lipstick and I found it to be slightly drying, but Hush Hush fixed that! My lips also got a lovely subtle shimmer, a moist type of a look. Oh man, I am going back today for Tread Gently and Hot n Saucy. I'm so weak.

I KNOW!

It is so weird. I automatically reach for my tendertones now, instread of digging through my lip drawer. I will be seriously heartbroken if I can't get my backups of this. It is selling out everywhere. Luckily there are 2 counters and 1 freestanding store within 1 mile of eachother, so hopefully I can get my fix somewhere! I just wish I didn't have to go 35 minutes each way to do it!

I really love them both. Take a Hint is more a blue-pink and it's shimmery, and Pucker - a berry pink with no shimmer on me.

Re: MAC Tendertones 2008

i have pucker and it's amazing! i thought that £10 on a lip balm was expencive... and yeah it kinda is... but they're worth it! makes my lips look like that they have a natural berry colored gloss to them. very natural. and the smell is ace!!

I am wavering on Sweet Tooth, Hot and Saucy, or Tread Gently (I sold my Shush and regret it). Does Sweet Tooth have any pink in it? Is it obviously coral on? How about Hot N Saucy - is it a good alternative for a red lipstick phobe? Whadda ya think? Which 2?

Sweet Tooth does the same thing to my pigmented lips too! I say get both since you love TTs so much. That way, you can change up the look if you want.

I get that same feeling too because my lips are pigmented. But I noticed if I put on 2 layers, then I can get the color to show.

Agree! I like Pucker because it has less shimmers than Take A Hint. Plus, I am a sucker for berry colors.

They do look the same especially if you have pigmented lips. I too which they had a bit more color. I think the excitement over these is that they are moisturizing and not as sticky as MAC's lipglasses.

*cough*ahem, not to uh I guess you could say "feed the addiction" but even if your local counters/stores are sold out(like mine), Nordstroms.com still has EZ Baby. I ordered about 6 back-ups so I feel your pain/addiction

Re: MAC Tendertones 2008

I think I may give in and get Pucker and Sweet Tooth. lol. D:

Re: MAC Tendertones 2008

I tried Tread Gently today, and OMG I LOVE IT! It gives such a multicoloured, discrete shimmer.
