MAC Veluxe A Trois Collection (August 13, 2015)

Really? It wasn't because it was sweating from the heat? Mine is glossy looking but no shimmer...

I live in Scotland where we are having a nice cool summer! so no danger there. here's a pic

Yup, I see it now on mine. I never wind my lipsticks out like that out of paranoia that it would just plop on the ground

This is not an amp, it's a creamsheen. Has to be. And I just took it out the fridge from last night and it swatches the same shiny way on my hand and not a full-on intensity like my amps. It's damned nearly see-thru.
Edit w/pic:

here's my baby haul

dark outsider heaux pillow talk gingerluxe mini melon pigment

gingerluxe so sparkly! i picked this one since it looked like the most unique. can't wait to play with it

dark outsider i won't be using this until autumn/winter because i want to use it to give dark lips a bit of dimension. i'll be doing a lot of matte eye looks with heavier matte skin so this will be the perfect product to add a but of shine. i'm imagining it dabbed over diva or heaux.

heaux and pillow talk pillow talk looks like a more golden version of velvet teddy. of course, this is only shade wise- it'll be glossier. heaux is beautiful, I'm thinking of pairing it with burgundy pencil

haha that's understandable! i can't wait to try her out and see what the deal is. i will be surprised if it goes on like an amplified though

I edited my post after you quoted with pics. It's not an amplified. I don't believe it.

Please post swatches! I'm curious about dark outsider, ginger luxe and pillow talk. They are sitting in my cart currently.

I paired her with NYX Deep Purple lip pencil the second time I wore her yesterday, my pic with the hat. I should have put that but forgot. I'll edit.

Everyone is looking hot in Heaux, no matter the finish. Might as well get another one or 2. I really don't want to use my OG unless it's a special occasion

Definitely the finish and it's def Cremesheen to me, lmaooooo I've been spelling it Creamsheen all along that's how much I could care less about that finish

Oh yeah just looked at the definition on MAC's website, that's what the micro-glitter/sparkles are that we all see:
"A creamy lipstick infused with pearlized pigments and a moisturizing serum blend."
And it's definitely moisturizing and serum blendish

It's not creamy like Amplified imo.

Lip swatch and comparison. I'm going to hold out on a full review. It is way too creamy right now but it's possible that's just because it's soft from the UPS truck. We'll see.

It's gorgeous on you, thanks for your great swatches and pics

I am going to assume that it is Amplified, it appears more opaque than a Cremesheen.

I agree, in her swatches it does look more opaque and not shiny, but not mine and in person on me. Shineville.

Thanks for letting us know! When you do a swipe of the new Heaux, is it quite opaque, if not, how many swipes would you need to make it opaque?

My cremesheens are not opaque on first swipe.

MAC should have cleared this up by now!

Looking forward to hearing everyone's opinions when their Heaux's arrive as to the true formula. This lippie is living up to it's name!

@Vineetha I'm happy to hear you love RR!

Thanks Nay!!! I am so glad it didnt turn brown brown on me but had some rosy tones to it!!!

 

[AdelieDragon]

Thank you for this!! I was wearing "Royally Riotous" last night and was like "This reminds me of a color I have..." yet for the life of me I couldn't think of which one. It's a warmer brown on me and I kept thinking maybe "Pander Me" but it was "Whirl" I was thinking of! And yes it's definitely warmer on me than "Whirl" is, much as it appears in your swatches as well.

If you look back a couple pages we've been talking about it since yesterday, I know, it's a lot. One swipe and it's not fully opaque like an Amplified would be, but it's not completely see-thru, in this pic you can kind of tell it has a little transparency to it, especially the one on the left and when you look to the top. This is one swipe:


I only have one cremesheen and that's creme d'nude and I just opened it and it's the same pearly finish as this Heaux, there are little glitters.

Omg, I don't know anymore, just swatched my amps and they're pretty shiny

Is it the heat? They were sweating.

I'm so over this

 

[Corally]

I wonder when T (and others) will finally review this collection? In particular the lippies. What is taking them so long. :/ I'm still kinda interested in RR and Heaux but want some reviews/swatches. Anyway, wanted to share my little haul. QS and PT. The colors are WAY off though, QS is more purple and PT less pink/red, it's more like warm nude.

here's pillow talk with a few comparison colours. it's beautiful! this is natural light

 

[pixi]

here's gingerluxe the khaki is darker than i anticipated. the middle orange/golden colour has quite a bit of fall out- think naked palette frustration, but used with a damp brush it's smooth and cohesive. the lightest colour is gorgeous and the easiest to work with dry.
