see thru cheek stain pictures!

[tiffie0023]

I saw in some other threads that people were eager to see the new cheek stains... I'm not sure if pics have been posted yet (sorry if they have), but here's some pics of awash in pink, plus size comparisons next to tarte. The MAC one is pretty small, .34 oz compared to tarte's 1.5 oz...

You can post your pictures in MAC Chat.

so now we know the deal w/ the sponge applicator

it's like those coloured window markers

 

[mspixieears]

For some reason I assumed they'd be like the former cheek stains or pro glosses and come in those cool squeeze tubes. I wonder if these will be easy to apply?

 

[Sophia84]

Ohhh they look soooo black!! what color are they??

Hmmm..not sure about the packaging. The sponge tip applicator looks weird. That looks pretty dark to be pink...but i guess they come out much more sheer.

I think that that color descriptions on specktra are switched? Under color stories it says:

"Subtle hint - sheer soft warm pink
Awash in pink - cool see thru vivid purple red "


But I tried them both on my hand in the store, and subtle hint look like a blue-based red and awash in pink looks like a true sheer pink. And wouldn't it make sense that the one with pink in the name is actually pink?

Anyway, they look super dark but go on sheer. I'm gonna try wearing it today and see how it goes!

stila just came out with ones in tubes like you descriibed - http://www.sephora.com/browse/produc...eg oryId=3865
I wonder if they are any good?

It took me forever just to get the cap off and figure out how to test it on my hand, lol. I'm gonna try it on my cheeks today and we'll see how it goes!

Thank you so much for the pics! The cheekstains were really the only thing in this collection that I was super-excited about.. and no one seemed to have pics!

I'll definitely be getting both colours(and some lipstains/gelees)!

Can someone who has one tell me if it's possible to prise off the sponge applicator?

I want to add these to my kit, but don't want to go through the hoopla of mashing the sponge onto a spatula in order to use it. It's no use having a good product if they're totally crap to use in a hygenic fashion.

 

[bebs]

I'm gonna be going back up to la mon. or wens. and if they will let me take pictures then I'll be more then happy to post them.

 

[Starbright211]

ooohh, Deodorants!!! LMAO!!! No really, those are purty colors!!!

I can't tell if you can pry the sponge off or not. However, I couldn't really get the sponge applicator to work well for me, so what I did is just squeeze some product out (it comes out of the hole in the sponge) and apply it with my fingers. So maybe it would be okay to use it like that on your clients?

Can you tell me if it is a gel like consistency, or is it more liquid?
Thank you

I found them more of a liquid consistancy.

All this time I was hoping for gels. Oh well. I'll still probably get them both. Thank you for the info!

 

[Aprilrobin]

[Asphyxia]

Ugly, but I'll still get it. :/
