I would suggest you go the counter without anything on your cheeks, test SBN, walk outside, see if you anything, and if you do go back and get them because it mightbe to light for NC50 skin except for WB (I personally say, you can order that sight unseen).

I swatched colour crafted yesterday it was sold out at Sherway I probably would have gotten it had it not been but I think I need to be strong and just say no it is cute but I have so many lipsticks it is hard to give them all enough love before they spoil on me.

Color Crafted is my new go to pink over Angel

I think im done with CC too. I got Revlon Suntan Mineral Finishing Powder and I absolutly love it! I will need to go back and get other colors too.

Used Natural Flare today, I really do like these colors. It does have some fallout, but I do my eye makeup first so I just wiped it away after. The lightest color has the worst fallout of them, it was terrible. But overall I liked the end result. I would compare the fallout to Urban Decay shadows.

CC was just released 2 days ago here. I checked it out today and I thought I did pretty well, as in not splurging. I only picked up the 226 & 131 brushes plus Eclectic Edge l/g --> loving it.

Anybody else find the MSF´s a wee bit too shimmery? I´m unfortunately not blessed with a great complexion so I´m afraid the shimmer may accentuate my enlarged pores.

I finally had a chance to test drive one of my CC lipglasses when I met a friend for dinner. I paired Funky Fusion with Most Popular l/s which I decided to pick up in this collection. Why did I pass you by before, you little lump of goodness! Beautiful pairing but again, I couldn't get enough out of the tube. I tried to remember elegant-one's post but still couldn't put enough on the applicator. MAC needs to make a thin, thin lip brush.

you do what you must for products you love. Funky is extremely pretty so bear with it, you're worth it.

MAC needs to make a thin, thin lip brush and number it the #666. Application with this collection of glasses is pure hell.

I totally agree...the tubes are ridiculous...It just wasn't worth it to me...I love the colors but they cost too damn much to have to work that hard...My MA said those have had the highest return rates of any of the CC products...For those who have the patience I say BRAVO...you are better than I care to be

^Face2Mac
100% in agreement! I think the color is beautiful and I should look on the bright side.

 

[wizzer3245]

I haven't been able to order anything else yet as work has messed up my wages. However i'm thinking do i really need anything else.
But the 131 does keep popping into my head hmm decisions decisions decisions

Just a quick little note to say I found a good dupe of Eclectic Edge WITHOUT all the bottle issues, for a slightly cheaper price and more product. I wanted to get it, but I couldn't justify spending $4 more for a tiny bit less product and a crappy applicator.

Eclectic Edge is extremely similar to Calvin Klein Delicious Light Glistening Lipgloss in KNOCKOUT, which is $17 USD for 0.22oz.

I'm sure this has already been mentioned before across the boards, but we have a Sephora and 2 MACs in the same mall, so I was able to test and verify. Consistency is smooth, not as sticky as lustre or lipglass, really good colour payoff. For some strange reason, though I saw it yesterday online, it's not there anymore -- better to check in store.

Also.. You know the new bottles are terrible when the MAC MUA in store had removed all the stoppers to actually access the product. Which wasn't nice for testing, because the minute you pulled the doefoot out the bottle it practically went everywhere.

 

[TISH1124]

^^^ My MA said they are not even promoting them in their store anymore because the returns are killing their numbers...lol...I didn't return mine but it did get passed on to my sweet niece who will take anything MAC even if she has to cut herself to use it lol ...but she is 14

 

[LMD84]

yeah that is the only dissapointment with the gloss - damn stopper! such a shame because i love my e. edge gloss - feels great on the lips, beautiful colour! just sucky container! who has time to dip in 5-6 times before your lips are actually covered?!

 

[atwingirl]

That's interesting Tish about the returns. I like mine very much and I am considering backing a few up. That is how much I like the formula. Although I will try to wait until the Dazzleglass Cremes come out and see how moisturizing those are. I can't say the difficulty of application bothers me enough to return them. I have to not be able to wear a product to return it or find something seriously wrong with it.
I am going to look for some kind of alternative, disposable Arts&Craft brushes that my MUA suggested, sold at Michael's. She also gave me a few of the MAC sample ones which would be perfect if they sold them in bags like the wedges and the sponges. I will post and let anyone know if I find something great that works! Although Enkore has some makeup ideas that are really genius sometimes, I just can't see BBQ skewers fitting in the women of Specktra's evening bags. Hee Hee.
(By the way, I love Bozz! Pre-cious!).

I thought the same thing about the fallout... not too bad and the colors are beautiful so def worth it

What brush do you use for the MES's?

Wow, that's pretty bad. Hopefully this teaches them to abandon the packaging completely - I don't know what else would. Really hoping they reintroduce them in regular bottles though.

Aww, that was sweet of you to pass it on to your niece -- faulty applicator or not!. Lol

Ahhh Thank you....Mr. Bozz says he loves you back!! I have been playing with him all day I am pooped

 

[chickatthegym]

^Yeah, no kidding! Hopefully they package them differently in the future!

I learned the hard way with those Victoria's Secret Very Sexy lipglosses that are the same style packaging... A couple years ago I bought like 20 of them and really haven't used them since

Does anyone have Girlish Romp MES? I am debating on that one... I am a SUCKER for pinks and that pink in it looks amazing in all the swatches I have seen.
