Thanks ladies. =D If it weren't for this thread I wouldn't have indulged myself in a Tendertone.

did you email mac to let them know this? do so, and ask them to make them perm.!

It tones down the pink in my lips and just gives a perfect peachy tint! I'm so glad that I tried these things cuz they are seriously the best lip balm ever. Tomorrow I'm going back to the mall with my friend so she can pick up some solar bits, its funny bc solar bits are the one product she decides to become obsessed with, she's not into makeup really and the one thing she decides to adore, the solar bits, is the one product I'm really not too happy about, haha, oh well, we can share colors! NE WAYS, I need a backup right?? I mean, its like the most amazing lipbalm ever, so I def should get another right? Enable me!

uh, yeah!

Man..don't you hate that? You don't have to LIE...tell me what else she's wearing and I will go out and buy that too! Better for MAC, no?

Girl, stop it. If MAC did that we would go crazy...as we watched our precious LE products sell out. No No No...MAC don't listen to elegant-one, she is just off her rocker tonight.

let us shop til we drop!

It is noooooot sad. Lucky for me, my UPS man comes between 11 and 12. I am on specktra 99% of the time, and I hear a big truck stop, then start up again. then I peek out the window and see that beautiful brown truck drive away. And I run downstairs screaming and open the door and snatch my package up. And then TEAR open my mac box (does anyone else hate those stupid string things they have on there lol). Sigh. Now thats sad.

Don't you hate that? Its like...can I have my life back? let me enjoy my makeup! But it helps that mine gets delivered when nobody is home. My mom is beginning to understand though.

I have pigmented lips. it wont show up as like, a nude. but it is like a glowy, semi nude color. Hard to explain. Buy it, and you'll love it. Theres a reason its sold out on the website!

I can't wait to try them out. For anyone who cares, I purchased: Sweet Tooth Take a Hint Pucker Honey Bare Hot N Saucy EZ baby (I hope this doesn't look a mess!) Oh, which one to try first?

LoL wow thats so nice of your brother. At least someone understands. Good idea: put them all on at the same time. It will have to be a gorgeous color, right? haha

Does anyone ever go back and read the empty promises to themselves about budgeting? Hahahahaha, we may as well just give up i tell you Quote:

I really want honey bare/hush hush but then its like...I just want something to show up on meeee. I have a Tender Baby on the way. I know its not out with this collection but seeing pictures of it, i really wanted it. I will get ONE new one, and then I will slowly get any more that I may want. I don't have money up the wazoo for tendertones. And theres are too many to choose frm. I can do it for the shadows and glosses. But for a tendertone I think I'll only need like3 tops.

The laughing face at the end saw right through that lie. Its taunting me. I only need three tops. Pishaw!

Re: MAC Tendertones 2008

I went the MAC counter today to test out the tendertones due to all of the great reviews and I ended up getting Ez-Baby and Hot n Saucy. I really do like them a lot more than I thought I would and the smell is wonderful! I am going to really like these this summer!

Thanks for all of the recommendations everyone!

 

[CantMAKEUPmyMIND]

Re: MAC Tendertones 2008

SO I thought I could pass this collection by but I got EZ Baby after seeing swatches. Glad I did!

Re: MAC Tendertones 2008

I wear my Hush Hush everyday but now I want more. I have pigmented lips so I don't think the lighter ones would do me any good. Any suggestions?

 

[Growing Wings]

Re: MAC Tendertones 2008

I'm so torn as to what to get. I want a couple of lip products for everyday wear with SPF for the summer. How do this compare to the Tinted Lip Conditioners, both moisture wise and with colour pay off? I can only really afford to buy two at the moment (either Tendertones or Tinted Lip Conditioners), but I'm not sure which.

I'm a pink/coral girl. What do you guys think?

TLC are more conditioning, have more color payoff, less color options, spf 15, are permanent, and have a vanilla scent/flavor. i'd suggest petting pink and gentle coral.

TT are smoother, shinier, sheerer, more color options, spf 12, are LE, and have a strawberry/kiwi scent/flavor. i'd suggest take a hint and sweet tooth.

i like the TT better, but i wish they were perm.

Re: MAC Tendertones 2008

So is there any love for Tread Gently? It looks so interesting and I can't decide if I should back up Honey Bare or get Tread Gently. Btw, I won $15 on a lottery scratch off my BF's mom got me today [what are the chances!!!] so I'm def buying another one, guilt free! I'm hoping that TG will actually show up on my lips like Honey Bare does. Which one should I go for?

 

[mezzamy]

Re: MAC Tendertones 2008

to be honest, i find TLCs drying to my lips and they leave that annoying white residue around my mouth (....that sounded REALLY seedy). i also find that they taste strongly of sunscreen

tendertones, on the other hand, actually seem to add moisture, dont leave the white residue, and despite having SPF in them, doesnt seem to have a taste besides the strawberry-kiwi?

i luff you, tendertones *cuddles her collection*

 

[SARAHheartsMAC]

Re: MAC Tendertones 2008

So far I have EZ Baby, honey Bare and Hot N Saucy on the way, I can't wait for these babies to arrive!!!

I'm also interested in Tread gently and how that looks on?

xx

Re: MAC Tendertones 2008

IMO, Tread Gently is nice, but near identical to Shush from last year. If you have a CCO near you, check there for Shush first, as most of them have lots of shades from last years launch.

I still have Sush! That's why I have passed Tread Gently. But it is a great color.

Re: MAC Tendertones 2008

Re: MAC Tendertones 2008

AUGHHHHHHHH I want Sweet Tooth so much!

 

[lethaldesign]

Re: MAC Tendertones 2008

I still haven't had time to get to the MAC store since these were released last week. Shame on me. I'm a TT ADDICT. I blazes through 2.5 of the ones from the last release. I only have 1/4 of a Pucker left (my fave!) and Warm Smile (which I hardly use because I don't like the color).

I am making it a point today to pick up the following:

- Pucker (maybe x2 because I went through so many already)
- Sweet Tooth
- Hot N Saucy
- Sweet N Nice

I have very unpigmented lips so I prefer the more pigmented shades so that I don't look washed out. However, I've heard everyone raving about EZ Baby. Do you gals think it would work ok for me?

 

[thelove4tequila]

Re: MAC Tendertones 2008

OMG!! I just....I mean......ugh. Man....I said I didn't want ANY TT and now I'm interested in, but not sold on E-Z Baby! Ugh. Why do I do this to myself? Okay okay I know they are sheer but how sheer is this one?

*Off to the swatches thread*

 

[elegant-one]

Re: MAC Tendertones 2008

EZ Baby is more opaque than the others, but it IS a very pale pink. I have pigmented lips & I use 2 applications to get a nice milky pink look.

*caution - everybody's lips will wear it differently*
