I just ordered BB's Neon Pink on the Nordstrom website last night on an impulse and I'm super excited to get it to wear with embrace me l/l, too!

Oh, crud. I can see that I'm doomed to eventually get Embrace Me, even though I already have Trimmed In pink.
Has anyone compared the two?

The lipliners SHOULD be perm!! They are so unique and esp Lasting Sensation and Embrace me...Magenta is not enough!!!!

I agree.
MAC needs to offer a bright pink liner, especially since they axed Cranapple.
Bright pink lipsticks seem to be becoming more and more popular, and we need coordinating liner!
By the way, I give up. I'm getting Embrace Me.

Embrace Me is brighter and bluer, while Trimmed in Pink is a bit more subdued. Trimmed In Pink is a bit more versatile, since it has less chance to neon things up and can be used more easily with rose colors as well as pinks, but Embrace Me is perfect for Candy Yum Yum and Pink Pigeon, if you want them at maximum brightness.

Do these work by themselves as a lip color all over if you use a little gloss or balm to keep them from sucking all the moisture from the lip tissue first? I could see me getting the bright orange and the bright pink for this purpose...

That does it!
Since my motto for lips is usually, "Go bold, or don't bother," it's clear that I need Embrace Me.

That's how I use Temperature Rising, all over the lips with a bit of gloss over it. Especially great with Flurry of Fun due to the teal sparkles.

Same here, this was my favourite lip combo the summer Surf Baby came out. (Ended up wearing it to my surprise bridal shower).

I use a fairly waxy lipbalm first, let it sink in, put lip pencil all over with a slicker balm or sheer lipgloss on top to prevent super dry lips.

Okay, this seals my doom. Looks like the pencils will be jumping onto my order soon. I wish payday came more often...

I found it too dark for my lips and skin. I returned it. I think I might try the lighter one though.

Sorry it didn't work for you, HoneyMilk. Hope you'll like the lighter one better. =)



Does anyone know if Have to Have It is close to Boldly Bare?

So sorry for showing up on the scene at page 43 and asking repeats of all the questions I am sure have already been answered buuuut...........
I have some dupe questions!!!!

Real Posh VS Pop Mode?
Rich & Witty VS Soft & Slow (from Smoke Signals and Neo Sci Fi)?

And in all the swatches I have seen Lasting Sensation and Entertain me look almost identical...which one is less orange (and more pink or coral)?
THANKS SO MUCH!!!!!!!
Also if anyone has heard when this is coming out in the UK I would love to hear about it. I just asked a few MAs at a freestanding store last week and none of them had even heard of this collection OR Naturally!!! (GULP)!

How different are It's a wow and Tour de Fabulous... I know one is more pink (ITW) but....is it dupe-able? I am really hoping it is because i might pick Lasting Sensation over for the endall haul of naturally/iris/daphne which broke me! I thought some of these were perm...oops...L/L are also LE!!! Dammit!:hot:

My Just Wonderful came yesterday, and while I really like it, it's closer in color to Rebel than to Violetta.
However, I love Rebel, so Just Wonderful was a good buy.
I don't know if I'll have backup thoughts, since I have yet to completely use up a MAC pencil.
However, Just Wonderful is not like any other MAC lip liner that I know of, so I'm *very* glad to have it.

It's more yellow toned. It's the only one I didn't get of the l/ps, but if you wear a lot of nudes, this one will probably have less chance to whiten the color you put on top, which ought to be more flattering in the end.

It sounds like Just My Type and Just Wonderful could jump in my next cart. I feel like I am doing way too many orders on these collections but sheesh, when they come out with 3 at a time (plus the mineralize skin care products too!) I am so overwhelmed it has to be multiple orders. I snatch up the stuff I think will sell like gangbusters first, then keep going back when I hear about stuff that other folks are loving. So, it is still 3 collections (TdF, IA, and DG) all fairly quickly being released within a week of the other and so it may end up being 3 or 4 orders.
