^I thought about getting all of them too but will end up with two or three. Rhasphody In Two kinda reminds me of Triple Fusion MSF from Colour Craft somehow.

I kinda forgot how much I really like the Mineralized blushes. The recent Cremeblushes and blush ombres have been getting all my attention lately, (which makes me ask, how many blushes do I *really* need...but we'll save that philosophizing for another day. LOL). before Lillyland though and the AMAZING Ombres, I almost exclusively used MACs mineralized blushes for everyday. They're so glowy and pretty on my cheeks! I am on the fence with the lipliners.... I may be in the minority, but generally I am not a fan of MAC's pencil lipliners. I find that they are not very soft. I like MAC's Cremestick liners and Urban Decay's liners (although they are pricey) because they go on so smoothly...but I find the MAC pencil liners are hard and kinda skip on my (dry) lips. I may have to try Naked though, I don't have any colors quite like this one. Not sure...

I think I am going to have to put myself on a blush no-buy here shortly cause I have so many. I am going to be really choosy from here on out deciding which blushes to add to my collection. I'm off to a good start... only 1 blush out of 5 is good right?

As far as the liners... before I even swatched them, my MA said that they are much creamier than previous lip pencils. I have never used or even swatched any of MAC's lip pencils before, so I don't have anything to compare them to, but they seemed soft enough. Definately not as soft as a cremestick liner, but I didn't feel them drag on my hand. They are worth a look cause the colors are so pretty.

Agreed! I keep saying NO MORE BLUSHES, but then when I see new pretty pink ones

....ah it is love.

There is something about blushes and pinky cheeks that just makes me feel pretty!

 

[elegant-one]

Sometimes thats all I have time to do - throw on some blush. Ok, so I guess thats how I justify it. Blush just makes you feel pretty

When I tested them, I thought they were creamier than the older ones. Not that they go on like butter but the texture is better. I added In Sync lip liner to my list as well as Rhapsody in Two blush. I don't have any colors like this either.

I like old lipliners texture(maybe I am the only one?) Not too soft, not too hard. Spice, Stripdown, Oak are still my fave lipliners since the 90's. I hope the new liners are great as classic ones. I am getting excited for new liners! I can't wait.

Thank you for the info girls! Audrey, your Jedi skills are pulling me in! And I'm loving every minute of it!!

I'll definitely give the liners a look. I'm glad to hear that they are creamier...In Sync and Naked really aren't like anything I have either....so back on the list they go.
I actually do use a liner almost every day. I think they give a nice clean finished look to the lips (I've been known to apply them after I already have lipstick or gloss on - I just trace the lip line lightly and it gives a clean edge around my lips). Or on my lighter make up days, I'll fill in the lips with just a little liner and lip balm and head out.

Thanks for the review, Audrey. I am passing Rhapsody in Two because I don't want a glittery blush (highlighter). Just the Cremesheen glass for me.

more money for other collections this way!

 

[purrtykitty]

Y'all are tempting me to get In Sync and Naked liners with your ravings of their creaminess!!

 

[*JJ*]

i guess i'll buy naked lipliner too if it matches my skintone. i usually use concealer to tone town my lips, i'm in desperate need of a nude lipliner. if this doesn't work out for me i'll try out lip erase when i'm in paris on vacation. no pro store here

Am I crazy lemming Naked liner even though my lips are unpigmented???

LOL no! Not at all-I'm in the exact same boat

 

[miribre]

The collection has already been launched on the Japanese MAC website.
MAC ???????? (M·A·C Cosmetics) | ??? ?????? |
Unfortunately, I can't read Japanese but it seems that many products are already sold out. Does anyone know what the lip color combo on the promo picture is?

yea I saw that too earlier when I was looking at the site to see if they had Gaga bag and I was so confused n tempted to buy some stuff but I think I will wait

 

[lilMAClady]

I wonder how Two Virtues will look on deep skintones...I wanted Bi-Tone, but I'm afraid it may be unremarkable....
