Great minds think alike! Well, kind of. One of the options I was considering to wear with Guac was She Who Dares. The green side is meant to be quite similar to DI, IIRC.

I've been wearing a lot of brights and reds on the lips, that's why Guac didn't have its day since I got it. Even I wouldn't inflict that on my fellow humans

Guac has just moved up a few places on the will-wear-soon list

I'm planning on pairing with some purple in the crease (the matte UD Purple Haze, Push the Edge piggie or Plum Noir) the first time I wear it but pinks and browns sound great too. Thanks for the suggestion

Or maybe a dark blue like Dandizette? Hmmm...
Greens and purples look great together too!

Hello all! :D

I have an extra (unused, unopened) backup of Moxie that I just decided I do not want, so I am posting here in the hopes that someone who wasn't able to get it (or just simply wants it) is willing to trade with me for another LE lippie that I do not have in my collection. If anyone is interested PM me ! :)

... and Guac has finally made it on my face!

I'm so glad I bought it! I paired it with Bows & Curtseys in the crease and the two colours complemented each other really well (sidenote: Bows & Curtseys is amazeballs. Great texture and pigmentation, and works well with a wide range of colours. I skipped it when it was release, but then snagged it off the bay of evil).

I have a lot of greens and I think Guac is fairly unique. My lighter greens are either on the yellow-toned (think Lucky Green E/S, Golden Olive piggie, etc.) or gray and murky (e.g., UD Green Goddess, Clarins Sage Green). Guac is a cool green, but not cool enough that it looks icy or crosses into teal territory. It's a very fresh, crisp colour too, so it's also very different from my murky greens. Application was effortless and I was very pleased with the pigmentation. Oh, and the sheen doesn't overpower the actual colour, which is always welcome.

Moral of the story: Guac is fab!

I'm glad you like it! That's a great way to describe Guac! Everyone should have it

^Huh! Kinda makes me wish I'd picked up Guac now.
Nah! I've got a pallet full of greens that aren't getting any love right now due to my current obsession with MM's Preferred Blonde and Showgirl

More Guac: top middle with some other single greens.

I tried out Guac for the first time past Saturday. It is nice, a cooler green as BuickMackane described.

Oooh! Lots of greeny goodness!

What is the shade on the top row, second from the left? I love it! It looks a bit like Juxt (which I don't have), but I can't tell for sure because my office computer doesn't display colours very accurately.

Is Guac still available on the US website?

Either way, no point getting it if you're not into greens any more. MAC will probably have released another beautiful one by the time greens are back in your makeup routine :)

Yes it is! And I do love to pair it with Bows and Curtseys as well. (and a little Dalliance too)

That one is actually Swimming. Juxt is on the top row, second from the left.

Well Guacamole is still on the US Website.
I don't have any room in my green pallet for it though.
Told myself yesterday I would use something up before I purchased another.
Mind you I said that yesterday - put Guac in a cart just now.
Someone stop me please!

Love your green palette! Can I ask what all the colours are? I'd love to know.

Others that I have and like are:

Lime
Bottle Green
Plumage
Greensmoke

Outside of MAC, I also really like NARS Paramaribo, but it's now only on the website.

I've only used it 2x but I'd never get rid of it. I think because T made it and it really is quite unique imo.

I love my blues, greens & purples most though I think. If you count club, I have 15 greens. I have 16 blues (though probably gonna buy 2 more soon) and 18 purples. It's not a lot compared to a lot of people on here, but for me, it's a big amount and my pink's are at about 13 plus the other colours of the rainbow.

My brother in Canada though STILL has my Hocus Pocus and Parisian Skies. I'm under the impression I'm never gonna get them.

I want Lime. Need to order it soon and I class Plumage as a blue but it's also a wonderful colour.

Ooops. I've been on this planet for more years than I care to admit to myself, and I still don't know my left from my right

Ah well, at least I got the Juxt bit right
