MAC - Sheen Supreme Discussion

Love these!!! Plus I have Ultra Darling on the way.



Bare Again, Supremely Confident & Insanely It

They are all lovely!

Bare again is a pretty but not unique pinky neutral brown.

Supremely Confident doesn't look like much, but I actually really like it on my very pigmented lips. It does not look like concealer or Fleshpot ls on. On me, its almost a more subtle paler Pretty Please ls. I love it for layering gloss or other ls over it.

Insanely It - well, just order it

its a beautiful sheer rosey watermelony pinky red - very pretty on.

The peach one reminded me of Toxic Tale almost.

They feel wonderful on the lips too. I really wanted to get the red one in the promo, but they didn't have it which is irritating since I drove a ways to see everything.

They do feel wonderful on the lips! I wore Look at Her today and three hours later I still have color and lips feels smooth not all dry

Yesterday I've bought Ultra Darling and thought maybe you girls are interested in pictures. =)

Unfortunately I had to photograph with flash since it was already dark outside but on me it's a melon pink and cool enough for my complexion.

Ultra Darling looks great on you! Oh gawd I sooo have to order it tomorrow!

Lip swatches please please!! *hugs*

I picked up Ultra Darling, New Temptation, Insanely It, Quite the Thing and Impressive.

I've been going back and forth on these and was going to skip entirely, but when I saw that they actually have really fantastic color payoff I had to pick up a few.
I'm not a fan of the shape of lipstick itself (I prefer a more tapered traditional lipstick), but I l really like the texture and pigmentation of these.

Insanely It is a gorgeous hot pink and will be a perfect summer color, but my favorite is Quite the Thing. It is a pretty plummy pop of color - so pretty.
I was going to get Riveting Rose from the Jenius collection, but QTT is very similar and the texture a hundred times better. Quite the Thing even seems to have that slight iridescence that Riveting Rose has. My favorite by far. (But I haven't tried Ultra Darling on yet - from the looks of it, that will be a perfect every day, no brainer just looks-great lippie).

I almost got Bare Again, but opted for Impressive instead, I think it'll work better on my pigmented lips. We'll have to see.
I am pretty impressed so far.
MAC is definitely stepping up it's game and coming out with some great product formulations (Peacocky - Sheen Supremes - Kissable Lipstick) - these upgrades of the traditional formulas are HUGE for me and keep me coming back. (well, and I'm a lipstick junkie - LOL)

Also for what it's worth, my MA said New Temptation was selling the quickest.

Great! What do you think of NT? My counter didn't have it out to test. I really think I want it. Its the color in the promo right? I'm going to get a few more.

I only bought Bare Again and Behave Yourself and I intend to wear them blended to get that pinky pale neutral colour I want.

Now I think I should go back for Ultra Darling although it went red on me and I didn't want red. Perhaps I should try again... maybe I should try Can’t Get Enough again too.

I tried Ultra Darling and Bare Again today and loved them both. I thought Ultra Darling was going to be my favourite, and I do love it, but Bare Again surprised me! Ultra Darling is a touch more corally on me than I thought it would be, but will be perfect for spring. I don't own any of the dupes for Bare Again (which I think are Hug Me and Cherish... I know, really popular colours!), and this is a great no-nonsense nude lippie that looks pretty and put together - very MLBB. I wore lip balm underneath, but I think I could survive without if I was stuck and not end up with dry lips.

These feel really nice going on, and apply very smoothly. I think I'll be using a lip brush for more polished looks, but for soft spring looks I can just slap 'em on I also got Insanely It, but haven't been able to try it yet. I'm excited to try this one in full colour and dabbed on almost like a stain! It is sooo pretty in the tube I'm not a huge fan of the shape of this lipstick either, but I do like the clicking case, even if it does show fingerprints!

Overall, win win win. I'm so glad these are perm, because I want to go back and try more when I have a little more cash to spare!

 

[Meryl]

That's the biggest problem for me with these - I don't think you can slap them on. They are so soft and so pigmented, I think they will go on too strong and messy. These don't seem to be the kind of colour that you can put on without looking... like a lip balm or gloss.

What does everyone else think?

i just slapped mine on yetserday and it looked fine. i find application is tricky because of the shape of the lipstick itself so when at home i shall use a brush (bottom lip is ok but the top lip is too small for the rounded end!)

 

[rockin]

I agree - this shape of lipstick isn't particularly easy to use. I love the tube, though. I have just applied Ultra Darling, and I absolutely love this colour. I can see me wearing this one a lot, especially all through summer

I have the same problem, with prolongwear lipcreme I have to use a lip brush!

I agree. I think they are thick like a balm, darn near thick like a chapstick or a burt's bees balm and I love that about them. I will grab one later. So glad they are perm, no rush.

Yesterday I purchased Gotta Dash because I am on a coral-peachy kick right now and I just slapped it on. They are buildable so you can definately control the pigmentation- at least on this one and Supremely Confident ( although on me it looked like crack in the tube! ). They are glossy but also kind of creamy. I wore it out the store yesterday with Mahogony lip liner and today I just slapped it on bare lips and it was fine.

[Face2Mac]

What would you compare Gotta Dash to your lipstick collection?

^I'm not GG - but it really reminded me of maybe just a bit lighter Toxic Tale - somewhere in that tone range - but sheered out it was really beautiful! It appears quite bright in the tube & a heavy app.
