Hi @Medgal07Hi Coco. Oh you absolutely can wear it. Debbs encouraged me to try it and I love it. I wear it under foundation but I've also worn it on its own.
It makes my skin look flawless. You should try it. If you feel uncertain maybe you can pick up a sample at a counter first.
Welcome Sassy!! If you ever need any assistance, here is a link to the Staff Roster. Feel free to pm any of us for help.Couldn't figure out how to delete my post so I guess dancing bananas it is! Sorry! I'm learning!

I'm wearing it today under the Perfection Lumière Velvet----unbelievably smooth--& well velvety.Hi @Medgal07Perfect! I have friends at the Chanel counter so getting a sample should be easy peasy. I'm curious to try the Sonia Kashuk bronzing cream now too since it's a similar concept (though not identical I don't believe).
I have shade 70 Beige. I hope you let us know how you make out with it.

[@]PixieDancer[/@] your response was, as always, so spot-on and lovely. I'm so glad you created this thread and are our fearless leader. I've been struggling with incredible amounts of stress - emotional situations with family, a week-long relationship retreat with my husband, taking over a second business and being thrown into the management and operation of one of the two businesses we now own, two babies at home, travel, etc. Things are all good but it's an incredible adjustment period and sometimes I just want to eat 6 DQ blizzards, hide in my bed, and buy myself hundreds of dollars of cosmetics and handbags and whatever else to distract myself from how crazy things are right now. I have committed just the one sin of a Bite lipstick. I can't count on one hand how many times I've found myself in the makeup aisle of a drugstore or Target with the familiar feeling of wanting to just buy some stuff to alleviate the pressure, but I've walked out, gotten in my car and left every time. Thank goodness for Team Low Buy, because in the past it wouldn't have even been the aisles of Walgreens - it would have been that PLUS online purchases with the credit card, which I don't even use any more. I didn't even quite realize I had made such progress until I typed it all out and thought about my habits just 6 months ago. Go #teamlowbuy. Each and every one of you here have taught me something along the way and helped me actually make a positive change. Thanks.

Day 12 05/06: Rimmel Moisture Renew Vintage Pink - I love this formula but this colour is off on my a touch too purple to be a MLBB, it looks grey unfortunately it is an OUT
In the B2M news....
I went to MAC yesterday I used my voucher and bought Syrup and Hot Tahiti Lipsticks, I have put them in my draw for when this 30 lippies challenge is over. I collected up my B2M empties last night and I have enough for 3 lipsticks so I am going back to MAC in my lunch time today.
I discovered my wearing patterns and stash habits have been leaning towards brights in pink and red form and I have neglected to replenish neutrals/softer colours since I used them up. I also discovered my other half prefers the subtler stuff. Now I don't propose to wear neutral lips just to please him, but it is a hole in my collection that I want my B2Ms to fill!
I already got Syrup and Hot Tahiti, now I have the following shades as a short list to research this morning before I go to the counter, any input welcome!
Plumful
Lustering
Patisserie
Lovelorn
Sweetie
Capricious
Ladybug
I need a soft plum, a soft pink, soft red and a soft peach so I think Plumful and Lustering are coming away with me, its the red and pink that I am finding hard!
Now im off to find the swatch thread, i want these to be considered purchases which will work.
PS big
to everyone, this thread has helped me a lot, we just need to stay on team low buy track

Plumful is one of my all time favorite MAC lipsticks. If you're going for a bright pink, may I recommend lickable? Its one of my favorite lipsticks. If you want a softer wash of color then lovelorn is a really great choice as well.

SO accurate it made me laugh haha! Those are def my immediate responses when I'm feeling badly. Make sure you are engaging in self-care activities daily, like listening to music, bubble baths, walks, whatever else you enjoy doing. (Other than shopping). Sounds like you have made some really great progress!
PM'd you. =)

Lickable is on the list but tempting to get something softer for everyday wear at the moment, I am definitely interested in Lovelorn, I am off to the counter tomorrow now so will swatch them both then, excited to use my B2M's, Plumful is definitely coming home with me, but the other 2 spots are still up for grabs!Plumful is one of my all time favorite MAC lipsticks.

i like the look of a lot of the paler cremesheens, especially the ones like pure zen, sunny seoul, peach blossom
some of the counters in manchester didnt have certain colours in stock so when i last went to b2m i couldnt get any
so i picked up plink! lustre and it's a pale pink similar to nude rose and wears off quickly like most lustres do but it's a nice colour

Thank you, I had a lot of cremesheen finishes when I first got into mac, like creme cup, hot gossip, creme de nude and modesty, if fact they are all finished and in the back to mac bag.
The odd thing is my taste has changed a lot since I first got into MAC 6 years ago, I not prefer my neutrals to be sheer and less opaque, I like a slightly juicy finish even if it means longevity suffers, hence why I am leaning towards Lustre finishes. I love peach blossom but I haven't been able to find swatches on someone with dark raven hair and pale skin. I struggled to finish creme cup and creme de nude as they no longer suit me in my opionion, light/white pastels and me are not a good look, but the rosy shades seem to be sitting better on my skin tone.
I have made a note to swatch Plink! if they have it, I know they have plumful, patisserie and lustering and i think I saw lovelorn the other day, if not it may become a swatch fest. The only certain I have is plumful, I think I would get a lot of wear out of that one!
I have to confess I was surprised with how few glazes there are now. Its interesting that there are many more cremesheens and mattes these days but fewer lustres and glaze formulas, perhaps its an echo of the trends at the moment?
