Thank you, I'm definitely going to give it a try.. It looks like the color will show up on my lips as a warm pinky-red.. I keep looking at your picture of Impassioned every 5 seconds! lol I knew I should have ordered it when I ordered Spice, Morange & GAT. -_-BEEaboutmakeup - Impassioned would look gorgeous gorgeous on you!

That is exactly the shade that it is! Its very color saturated too.
Funny, there is always "one more thing" we should've bought. I got my items at Macys, then went shopping in the rest of the mall, decided to leave but then PN np was nagging at me so I drove around to Macys & went back in again & bought it. I knew if I didn't get it, I would have regretted it when I got home - like I did in not getting Impassioned ls.Thanks goodness for FS codes

i have pillow talk and lately ive been finding it a little bit too brownish for my taste. I really want to try out spice but i'm still not sold on it yet. Hopefully if i decide to get it it wont be sold out. Do you know it it compares to Hug Me lipstick? Thats my go to nude but I would love it if it was a satin finish like Spice
Just another comparison photo for anyone interested on NC45 skin (taken with iphone, sorry)
From left to right: Mac Spice, Mac Pillowtalk, Revlon ginger Rose 131 (thought it was close, but far off)

I sometimes think pillow talk is too brown. I add a pink lipgloss (love nectar) to brighten it up when I feel like that. I don't own Hug Me but maybe one of the other girls can compare for you. I love Spice. I bought two. I think the rosiness in it sets it apart from pillow talk.

I'm wearing Ravishing nail lacquer and the lipstick, which I already had in my stash. They are gorgeous together and the polish is AMAZING. No streaking, etc. I use a base coat, two coats of the lacquer and a top coat which is what I do with ALL nail polish/manicures.

Tried the lipstick and it's the same exact color as my top lip. My bottom lip is pink so I am going to use it to neutralize my lips, make them the same color and add a bright gloss on top. I really loved the results when I tried it this way in the stores. The gloss is nice, too brown for me, and I felt like I can get more out of the lipstick. I may go back for the gloss in a few weeks. I think the gloss will look great mixed to deepen other colors

And the pictures. Elegant, I always love your photographs. They're always beautiful. Thank you!
Can anyone answer my stupid question? In US, which set is available (l/s, l/g, and n/p) at the store? Only the set for North America? TIA!

elegant those photos are so beautiful...i have been mulling over whether to get impassioned nailpolish and i think i am definitely being swayed to do so! pink nouveau looks really nice too...i'm a little bit less certain on that one for myself, but it looks sooo pretty...
i tried a few of the polishes in the store today, rebel, spice, russian red and GAT...i'm not sure why T gave rebel a not so good review, i thought it was the best of the bunch, but i left it behind because the sales assistant told me that the polishes were eventually going to be made perm.....so i figured i'd pick one up closer to fall or winter....
i also back to maced for spice!
it doesn't look like anything exciting on me, but it does make for a nice natural lip look. slightly pinky.

You know, based on T's swatches, I would have bet Honeyflower would be close but it is way too sheer. I do wonder if anyone has Jubilee how close it would be to Spice? Maybe Spice is a tad more yellow and Jubilee is more pink? It is hard to tell from monitor swatches only, which is why I wish I had the time to go check it out in store. This thread is making me want to B2M for Spice or Pink Noveau.

Well, if it was a hair removal product that would guarantee it would fly off the shelves! But it is bizarre. Was this in Barcelona or Germany? Or good ole US of A?

Well, BEE you sold me on Spice. I stopped by my counter yesterday and had to pick it up. It's good neutral, but still with some color if that makes any sense. I can't believe I bought 5 glosses from this collection. Yes I can, I'm a lip gloss hoarder. Oh well, they were all worth it as I love them all.
What's everyone's favorite so far? My is Chestnut l/g with GAT l/g running a close second.

Thanks. It's actually a warm rosy nude brown on my lips. The application of lipstick was fine, I had no problems with it. It has a satin finish, meaning that it's two notches down from the matte finish. It lasted pretty long especially since I topped it with the matching lipglass. Even after I destroyed my frap. from Starbucks, I didn't have to reapply. lol
