I'm wondering the same thing.

It's just not working like the rest of my aqua cremes. I was thinking about getting the red one and use as a liner. I can't bring myself to use it as a shadow. It seems strange.

I'm wanting the red as a waterproof base for my red lipsticks. I'm hoping it goes well with Kanga Rouge. Also the lavender one is the only one that I immediately shook my head no at. I can see myself owning them all. All execpt that one.

I have no desire in putting aqua creams on my lips

. I know you can do that with some shades but the thought makes me nauseous for some reason. it probably would look great, though.
My fave youtube guru had on the lavender one and it was so gorgeous on her. She told me to try a fluffy brush. So, I'm gonna try it with a 217. I really want to make it work b/c I love that color on me. It's just weird that the formula for that color seems so off. I'm left wondering if I got a "bad" one.

It looks so awesome on my hand but gets all patchy and wrinkly on my eye.

 

[shontay07108]

Hold up, stop the presses: I immediately stepped away to try the lavender AC with my 217 and it worked! Why did this not occur to me before? It's very frosty and it may not appeal to most. Frosty isn't really my thing, but I wanted this color to go with my violet and purple shadows. So I played a little more and on half of it I put Pincurl and the other half I put Beautiful Iris. It looked even better, especially with BI. Awww yeah, man now I can wear this with Very Violet shadow.

hi i am mufe newbie and i am planning on buying AT LEAST one of the aqua cream to test out before purchasing more. I am torn between number 18 (lavender), 20 (intense blue), or 22 (emerald green). Which one should i get first?

how good are they for dry skin, how smooth is the texture?

Between those three, I would eliminate the lavender since it's the least pigmented one (though still worth buying now that I know how to apply it). So it really depends on which color you think you'll use more, green or blue. Both are gorgeous and intense. Blue is my favorite color, so I am biased.

These things are unbelievably smooth and creamy. I have dry skin and I can wear these without a primer. I was surprised b/c I need a primer for Mac paint pots and shadesticks, but not this baby. Hope that helps.

I just picked up #22 and #5 today plus the fuchsia lip liner. I wanted to get more but I wanna try them first and see how I like them

plus I also needed to grab another bottle of Nars Sheer Glow (since I got tanned) and didn't wanna break the bank

For those who asked I find the red to be a bit brighter than Flammable paint (which is my fave paint). Ironically IMHO it looks a bit like Queens Sin l/s when I apply it (of course YMMV). I have used it as a liner in a killer black and red eye combo the other night with no adverse reaction.

Shontay, I haven't used the lavender yet but it sounds like you've figured out how to make it work for you. BTW on the Chanel thread I read that the Chanel website has Genial back in stock. HTH.

Lavender hates me.

But red eyeshadow or black lipstick... bring it on

I just did a quick search on the Chanel site and I couldn't find it

. Thanks anyway, though.
I still have the lavender aqua cream on my eye. Just walking around with one eye done. I like it and I don't want to take it off

thank you so much, i guess i will figure out when i go on my trip to canada. i'm SOOO glad to hear that these are much better than shadesticks or paintpots cuz i thought i was the only one that needed udpp underneath them. lol, heck if they're as good as you say they are i might as well just go ahead and shell out another 22 bucks and get both right (best of both worlds)?

The new Lab Shine lip gloss looks gorgeous! I'm excited! Definitely want to try 1 or 2!

Make Up For Ever Lab Shine Lip Gloss

 

[BadBadGirl]

Me too! I want about 2 metal ones, 1 or 2 star ones and almost all the diamond glosses.

 

[genduk26]

i will get 2 or 3 the star collection @ imats.

 

[SmokeSignal16]

Those glosses may be one of the first items I own from this line! I think I am going to check out the aqua things that ya'll seem to love also!

 

[Miss QQ]

They will be the second MUFE item I own. My only item is #92 at the moment.

 

[shontay07108]

Took an unexpected trip to MUFE yesterday so obviously, I was sans camera. I looked at the new glosses again and it seems they are selling pretty rapidly! I couldn't decided which one to get, got flustered and left without one. I was thinking "do I have a Mac color like this?" and "how much am I going to use this?". I hate when I do that. One color did stand out to me, though and it was a gorgeous coppery gold that I want to go back for. Instead I chose a gorgeous coral colored star powder with a gold sheen to it. It was begging me to take it home with me.

 

[Shadowy Lady]

I'm now gonna hold off buying more MUFE until IMATS in Toronto this November. Then i will get more aqua creams and some of the new glosses

I would say they are much closer to glossimers because they are not very sticky at all and the diamond ones don't have any grit to it at all. They have the formula perfected. The smell this time around didn't really hit me like the first time so I'm guessing the longer you have it, the less you can smell the coconut type scent. It's pretty much a hybrid of glossimers and aqualumieres.

 

[LMD84]

i need some of the new glosses in my life!

they look stunning! i just wish MUFE was sold more freely in the uk. there are only two places that stock it in london. although i'm sure there is an online store so will have to see if i can get hold of them!
