I compared Innocence to other light coral lippies I have (not all MAC)

Innocence is more nude compared to Cut a Caper..
Out of them all Innocence is my favourite..)) I'm glad I got a back up

Btw I love any pastel coral lip gloss over Innocence, so pretty.
All of the lg/ from the Cocktail Coral set look gorgeous over Innocence! I love this l/s :)

I may have to pick that bad boy up! It looks so incredibly pretty. Is there a big difference in texture/formulation between lipglasses and lipgelees? I have a few lipglasses but zero lipgelees to compare them to.
Well singer82 already pointed out the differences very well, but I just wanted to add that sometimes you can get annoying threads (I'm not sure that's the right word) when you press your lips together and then open your mouth again. I'm sorry this sounds weird, but I don't know how to explain it:p I've found that as long as you don't overapply and clean the inner rim of your mouth with the finger pop tip that also helps prevent lipstick from getting on your teeth, then it's fine.

I was a bad girl today. I was going to meet my makeup friend (that I met thanks to this forum!) and she called to ask if I also needed to get to the counter again. She wanted to get a blush from the collection and I had already put Stylishly Merry and Round Midnight on hold so of course we went. Well...I also got Evening Grey, Divine Blue, Superb and Whisper of Gilt. Now my total haul is:
All EDES
Both EDSF
ETG polish
All kohl powers (already had feline)
But still I didn't get blushes or lippies so that's good right?

This looks stunning! The neutral eye kit is just divine for a sophisticated but nude eye. And Beauty + Oversexed is absolutely gorgeous on you! That's exactly the right way to wear Beauty!

I used my Neutral Eye Set today and I'm in love with it! And as per mac-aiken's suggestion I tried Beauty l/s with Oversexed plushglass

I used Jaunty e/s on my lid with Quarry e/s in the crease, then I blended Enviable e/s from the Neutral set on top of Jaunty and put Brun e/s in the outer V, Blonde Mink in the inner corner of the eye for a highlight. I tried out Local Wares fluidline for the eyeliner, too. My first time using it, it pulls more green on me.

I'm also wearing Small Vanity blush with Perfect Topping, and the Marilyn bp as a finishing powder

That being said, I still bought the Hanging Travel bag for $40 just then because everywhere else sold out ... I wasn't going to get it but then Lorraine posted this youtube clip about it and I caved!

* just noticed that the price for the travel bag is the same on both the Aust. MAC site and the US ... yet all the other products are more expensive ..

That because it's not considered a "beauty" product. >_< Anything consider cosmetic as a luxury tax on it before you even have to pay your local tax. We have the same thing in Canada which is why many drugstore brands are marked up by 20% to 40%... again I'll say why would I pay $18 for Physicians Formula blush when I pay the same price for a MAC one? I know it worse in Australia (you dealing with 60% to $100% inflation) but it aggravates me to no end the fast an loose markup rules. >_<

Thanks! I don't particularly dislike the texture of lipglasses, but I don't mind change it for a little bit of sparkle goodness!

Thank you for the tip Pinkdollface! I'll use that when I get one, maybe MAC repromotes it or bring out something equally pretty or prettier.

Wow, Cut a Caper is so much darker than Innocence. That explains why Innocence looks so pasty on me. I didn't bother to do comparison swatches after I tried it on because I instantly knew it was going back. I thought Innocence would be similar to Cut a Caper when I bought it. Cut a Caper is already light on me, but it's wearable. Innocence looks beautiful on you, though.

That is very true. And it is possible to overdo them. They can get pretty messy. That's the only downfall. My Sin-tillation oozes out like someones squeezing it for some reason. I recently stuck my glosses in the fridge. Maybe that would help. And pinkdollface your skin is flawless too! :) And I always love to see your looks you post.

I wish Spruced from the green crushed metals set was a regular pigment. It is so freaking pretty! But I already have 3 metal stacks and barely use them. I'm ready for some amazing new regular pigments! They are what made me fall in love with MAC. Them and lipsticks used to be all I bought from MAC for a while. Tartan Tale was the last time we had some awesome pigments come out!
