Liba, I always love to read your thoughts on products! If you could only get one of the glosses (or maybe 2 even though I know I should really only get 1) which would you buy? Reading your review I want to pick up all of them

I'm around NW20 and I'm going to be getting Hautecore & Punk Couture for sure-- I'm kinda leaning towards the black gloss or the one with purple sparkles, but the one with gold sparkles sounds gorgeous too! If anyone else has experimented with the lipsticks & glosses I'd love to hear your opinions too ^_^
If you know you're going to be getting H & PC, I'd say go for the one with the purple sparkles! It's got enough sparkle density to actually provide some noticeable color (though still sheer) when worn on its own, it'll be particularly nice with the ones you're getting for sure, and will also look awesome on top of all sorts of reds and pinks you may already own. If I recall correctly, when I tried everything on, I used it alone and also on top of PC, and it balanced the undertones in PC for me and made it look even better than it did on its own. It'll certainly soften Hautecore a bit too. The plain black one is great, but it's more opaque than the other two and will really darken anything you put it on top of dramatically. There are other cheaper plain black glosses to be had, especially ones that might be a bit sheerer, so they'll be a little more versatile.

I'm not going to jump on the glosses right away. I have enough unworn ones already lol, especially dazzleglasses. I still have some of the style black ones left as well (not much, mind you). I'll try to work those ones first. I have a feeling the glosses will be around into the new year.

good luck to all the ladies ordering from belk! I am waiting for it to come up on macs website. I was up last night when it was launched on nordies and still passed it up. I'll just wait. :)

PC is not really patchy or uneven at all - but you have to apply it in a thin layer and let it set up. It may drag a bit if you are the type that really smooshes your lipstick on hard. It really doesn't need a thick layer, as it will sort of set up and the color will merge with your lips and just basically smooth out and blend with them. You just need to give it a minute. This is directly opposite SO many dark purple lipsticks I've owned, where no matter what you do, the second you close your lips, half the color on the lower lip is *poof* gone. Also, it helps to apply plenty of it deep in the underside of your top lip, to further prevent patchiness. All the lipsticks in this collection are particularly better than the norm for very dark colors in the patchiness and uneven wear department! PC is the one you may have to be the most careful about applying, but it's not remotely a nightmare like TTT was.
I never smother lipstick onto my lips. I always apply a thin layer & build it up, especially with darker shades. Definitely not bad like TTT, but definitely uneven for me.

Did the prices increase for lipsticks since it's $16 on Belk? Not only for the ones in this collection, but every lipstick on their site.
