Shame on them! Those pesky enablers should be banned from Specktra and have their IP addresses blacklisted for good. Tsk tsk

I'm glad you liked Ballet. It doesn't look like much in the tube but it really comes alive on the lips

I love Out For Passion and those types of MLBB pinks don't always look good on me (usually look too jeune fille), it's a little bit bright, though. More of a spring color.

So, one of the nudes and either F&F if you prefer peach or OFP if you prefer pink - how does that sound? :D



liba, thanks for your recommendations and your good descriptions.

I think Rich Marron is too warm for me, so Touché is more likely.
Fresh & Frisky is too peachy and Fashion Force is sold out now, so i am saved from that one.
I hope there's still a tester of Out For Passion at my local MAC so i can decide if it's too bright. I haven't been there since the day the Magnetic Nude collection was released.

I may just get the one, Touché and stick to my Low Buy.

Thank you for the recommendations :bouquet: Fashion Force was actually my first choice but it's still "binnenkort verkrijgbaar" on the Dutch site which roughly translates as "we're not going to stock this colour but we'll let you live in hope". So I decided to go with Fresh & Frisky, knowing full well that it was going to be a gamble. I'm desperately trying to find a light peach shade that looks slightly less nasty on me than most other light peach shades out there. One step at a time :lol: Rich Marron's definitely up my alley. It kinda reminds me of a sheerer UD Strip, which can only be a good thing. re: Out for Passion - Looks great, but I dunno if it's different enough from Venus to warrant purchase. These suckers are EUR21 a pop here, so I shouldn't go too overboard with them. 
yas gurl Fashion Force is more pigmented anyway but if you still want freshnfrisky i can cp 4 you
Awww, thank you! :flower:  I'd have loved a Fashion Force CP (now that F&F has been crossed off my list for good), but I see that it's sold out on the US site too. The entire universe is conspiring against me :eek:hboy: :shock: Shame on them! Those pesky enablers should be banned from Specktra and have their IP addresses blacklisted for good. Tsk tsk :nono: I'm glad you liked Ballet. It doesn't look like much in the tube but it really comes alive on the lips :heart:
check the clearance bin i just saw one. I will check my macys too. I wote Rusty yesterday layered w bad girl riri. Usually wearing a matte lippy all day will leave my lips shredded but they were soft and smooth afterwards. Bgrr was less patchy too!

I think Rusty is kind of like a lighter Extended Play. Here's a single swipe of Extended Play with a double-swipe of Rusty.



I like it because it feels like a lighter alternative to my standard heavier red lip.

I can't find it! *panic mode*

Any feathering issues with Rusty?
I think the main thing with these is they all feel a little stiff when you start applying them. It's sort of an unexpected sensation and you could be tempted to really smoosh a bunch on there, in hopes of getting it to a creamier feeling. You wind up over applying this way, though, and I could see that leading to feathering. Just use a light layer, even if it's not feeling all glide-y as you apply. It will warm up once it's on your lips and will be perfectly even and glossy and yet will set with a nice, crisp edge! I've had zero feathering with all the colors I bought, including Rusty, but I am very careful to lightly apply. '

Hope this helps!

None whatsoever and this is usually a problem for me with more balmy products. In spite of its moisturizing properties, it was not greasy or all over my face and believe me, I live life to the fullest, talking, drinking coffee nearly constantly and eating at my desk whenever I get a chance which is usually a snack between breakfast and lunch and another snack or two through the day, esp. if someone brings in homemade baked goods. This lasted through everything except a fat laden meal (tuna salad with lots of mayo on tortilla chips).

BTW, I am wearing Rich Marron today, which is poorly named and may limit folks buying but it is a gorgeous MLBB slightly browned rosy nude. DH said I looked "pretty" today, which he clarified as "your lipstick is nice, and your whole make up." (such a sweetie) and I was wearing RM. It reminds me a bit of Naked Paris if anyone remembers that lippy, not quite brown, not quite pink/rose, not quite plum but somewhere in the middle of all three of those. No warm or orange tones at all. I may get a BU. What I am saying here, is if you liked cool, slightly browned nudes, GET IT! I almost got Touche instead, but it looked too yellow toned so I skipped. I think I will just get a BU of this!

I got 4 Huggables today! They are so nice on the lips I really really really love this formula. It's like wearing lip balm with a colour. Normally creamy lipsticks feel too slippery for my taste, but these don't. I like the see-through effect they have too. I got Touché (with a BU), Out For Passion, Love Beam and What a Feeling. I also tried on Feeling Amorous at the counter and left that on until I got home, so I have a picture with that one too. I allowed myself to only get 5 right now, but I'll go back for it. I tried to determine which colours would go first and since Touché is an amazing nude and quite popular I didn't want to risk not being able to get the BU later. I don't have a picture with What a Feeling yet, because the last picture I took was Love Beam and I don't want to take it off yet. It's so beautiful and I might get a BU of that too.

Great swatches - thanks! Which is your favorite?
I'm pretty partial to What A Feeling, which I did not swatch. It is such a beautiful pink with blue undertone. It really looks great with my skin tone!

I LOVE this formula! I decided I needed to have the rest so I will be able to swatch the whole collection together this Thursday. If you are on the fence about this collection I recommend going to your local store or counter and trying it on your lips and you will be sold. I originally just got What A Feeling. First day I got it I wore it and I was sold. Now here I am 11 lippies later hoping my purchases help persuade make into making a permanent formula.

LOVE LOVE LOVE!

Cool!

What A Feeling & Red Necessity & FA are my favorites. LOVE WAF & backed it up. I'm waiting on Cherry Glaze to arrive to see if I need a BU of it.

They really should be perm! Enjoy them!

I am looking for "Ethereal Beauty" filter on my crappy phone camera. Darn-- I might need a Galaxy S4 now!
I was really in need of a phone update. I had a cheap Alcatel to try the whole android thing out and it couldn't handle much apps at all. So when I got a new one I also wanted one with good camera features and this sure has it. It makes a huge difference whether I use the filter or not.
