I'm having a hard time not buying another one too so I'm no help.
Which one did you buy, Genn? Which one is your favorite?

I got Weekend Getaway and Out for Fun. They're both pretty, but OFF is my favorite. This one is great for bright lips.

Hibiscus is my HG summer l/s. I thought they might be similar, but OFF is lighter, softer, and less red than Hibiscus? I might compare them in natural light tomorrow.

I remember liba said it's similar to Exxxhibitionist KLC? I cannot believe I missed it.

I have OFF and WG. I cant normally handle bright lips on me. It just doesn't look right to me ( I'm the opposite of most people on specktra, I can do frosts no problem but bright is out of my comfort zone). I can totally do it with OFF though, I love the color on me. I also have Keep it loose and Have a lovely day but I'm saving those for late summer/early fall. I keep telling myself I already have WG so I don't need another pink.........no relaxation, no lazy sunday .....repeat........

I've been stalking this board for days and I finally got my OFF and KIC in the mail the other day. I wore KIC today and it was absolutely stunning. It definitely creates an effortless Snow White-esque look that's perfect for the fall/winter! I'll be trying OFF tomorrow but I was so impressed by the wear and feel of KIC that I just ordered WG :)

I'll be reviewing these fully on my blog in a few days after I try out all the colors but here's some pictures of the colors and wear:




The pictures are blurry, don't know how to fix that but basically:
1) On my cheeks (and applied somewhat heavily for it show up in pictures), KIC lasts for more than 8 hours on top of foundation and WITHOUT powder. It's been almost 12 hours of wear and it's still going strong on my cheeks. It's faded but you can definitely tell that I'm wearing blush. Without powder it gets slightly dewy after 4 hours of wear but nowhere near shiny or oily. My pores do show a bit through without powder on top but this does not happen with powder on top. I can definitely see this lasting for 16 hrs with powder. This might look shiny on bare skin or very oily skin.
2) On my lips, these are so creamy, smooth, and pigmented. It's easy to apply sheer or to full opacity. It's not nearly as long lasting as on the cheeks but I've gone through lunch, dinner, snacks, and kissing (after the 5 hrs mark) with this on. With full opacity it looks like a vibrant somewhat glossy lipstick. After 3 hours, it's a medium rosy shade. After 5 hrs it looks like a lip stain. After 8 hrs, it's almost gone. While moisturizing at first, it started to lack moisture and glossiness after 4 hours. I don't have problems with dry lips so it never felt drying for me but if you do have very dry lips, I wouldn't recommend this. However, for how pigmented this is, it's extremely moisturizing compared to matte or satin lipsticks. It doesn't feather or settle into the lip lines.

Sorry for the long post but I definitely recommend this if you are looking for long wear and high pigmentation but 1) don't have very oily skin or 2) don't have dry lips.

And of course, this is all my opinion and my take on the MAC Casual Colours so you might feel differently and that's why there's returns! :)

i was never a fan of cream blushes but i have to admit i love these!
they are perfect for my dry skin and look natural and lovely.
unlike powder blushes that just sit on your skin i feel that these blend in so well.
i got relaxation, lazy sunday and have a lovely day. amazing!

I got one more. I already had WG, OFF and HALD but I couldn't resist relaxation. It looked so much better on my lips than Snob, Enchantee (or woo me--whatever KLC is the light pink one). Somebody convince me that KIC is not very unique as a lip colour. I still want itttt!!!!!

I FINALLY got the chance to try these out. I ended up buying Keep It Casual and Evening Stroll. Both look lovely, but I find them challenging to apply on my cheeks. Like I have less control blending with my fingers. I also wear powdered mineral foundations, so I'm concerned about rubbing them off. I guess I'll have to play with them for a while and see if I want to keep them.

I have enjoyed reading the reviews in this thread. Wondering if anyone got any BU's? An unfortunate side effect: I am craving a twinkie, an oreo blizzard, and a make up frig!

LOL...the things this forum will make you do! I think the products are amazing, but not BU worthy since a little goes a long way. However, if you find yourself reaching for them all of the time, you may want to pick up a BU of your fav.

I've got a question for anyone who has ordered these from the MAC website. How long until you received them?

I couldn't wait for them to be released in Australia (currently no release date, and apparently they're only going to be available from 2 stores in the entire country, and no on the website), so I've ordered them thru a parcel forwarding service. They ordered them from the MAC website 1 week ago (KIC, WG and ES) and all were shown as available at the time. A week later, they still haven't been received by the parcel forwarder, and I am not happy! How long did they take to get to you?

Thanks

Lina

I ordered mine as soon as it went up online and got overnight shipping, so I got mine in less than 24 hours...but that probably isnt very helpful.

I have stayed away from this collection, but dammit I want one! What do people think of Have A Lovely Day, Weekend Getaway, and Keep It Casual?
If I do get one then I'll pick up the 130 from the CCO especially
