Lou! Love your avatar! I think I'm going to change mine soon. The Mineralize Blushes are the ones that I'm going to snatch up first and then whatever else that I want. I do want to see more swatches so I can make my descision.

Got my glosses and took some pics for all of you! :)

First, my thoughts:

Overall Formula: These do tingle a tiny bit on the lips - almost a peppermint-like sensation, similar to but not as strong as the BE Buxom glosses. I really enjoy it, but I know some of you may not like that so much. They smell a little different than the regular MAC glosses - still a hint of Vanilla, but this one is a different kind of sweet. I really can't put my finger on it. Lou mentioned coconut, and I detect it a bit, but I'm still thinking of something else. Again, I enjoy it, but others may not.

Bubble Tea: A beautiful peachy-brown nude with the slightest hint of shimmer that is barely noticeable on the lips (think like the Kissable Lip Colours). Very sheer and pretty, and gorgeous for me as a MLBB neutral gloss. I think this could go really well over Gaga 2, for those of you who were not a fan of the brown gloss. Sorry I don't own it to compare, yet! I'm excited for this one with The Faerie Glen, Innocence, Beware and Touch.

Fashion Fanatic: A sheer peachy-pink colour with fine shimmer. This colour looks close to Bubble Tea on the lips, except a hint warmer, brighter and more shimmery. I think it will be beautiful over Playing Koi, and could be really pretty over shades like Peachstock and Cut a Caper! It would also be pretty over some of the nude/browns I mentioned above, I think :)

Boy: A creamy pale blue-based pink with no shimmer. This is the most pigmented shade of the bunch. It is very light and pretty, and still somewhat sheer. Almost milky looking. I did find this one settled into some fine lines just a touch, so it may be better over a liner or lipstick, but it is super pretty. Although I don't normally pull off blue-based too well, this colour was still really pretty on me! :) This could help to make St. Germain more wearable for some of us!

Overall, I'm really pleased with these - I don't find them too sticky (not as sticky as the regular lipglasses), I like the tingling feeling, I like the smell (although I don't smell much when I'm wearing them on my lips), and I like the colours. BT and FF are fairly sheer, and may be dupeable from things in your stash. For me and my collection, they were unique, so I was happy. Girl

Boy is the most pigmented and unique of the shades I bought, especially because there is no shimmer. It would be pretty over just about any pink lipstick, I'd imagine - maybe even VG Gaga 1 or Snob!

HTH :)

P.S. Yes, I'm alive again! Just back to a very busy schedule with school :S

I found them different enough to own both, mostly because the finish is a bit different. I find PF the more wearable of the two on me, but St. Germain definitely appeals to me as something for a more striking look. Anyway, like you said, there's no rush to buy something that's permanent.

Hmmmm..I have to say I love SG, it looks very much like NARS Roman Holiday to me. Its my go-to for Barbie Pink lips. But I don;t have a PF to compare.
You only have 157 pink blushes, sounds like you may need 158 to me. I am trying to justify Pink Cult knowing that I already have more pink blushes than I could use in a lifetime...Perhaps I will have to wait for QQ. Do we know if the heart part of the blush is overspray? Cuz if it is that will be dipped in lame sauce...

Another vote for your avatar being Smoking Hot LMD84

yay! overspray is overrated and underwhelming. I do think the little thingie on the Jeanius eyeshadows is kinda cute though--and I think I can use a brush to get eyeshadow without it being rubbed off for a while. I wonder how the heart part of these blushers is supposed to be used? Does it make the blush darker or is it just for cuteness?

i'm guessing it is just for cuteness. it would be difficult to use the blush without getting the heart so i think that it is purely for decoration! and i love it!
