Omg exchange it!
IMO, Modesty is prettier than Hug Me.

I need to keep telling myself that these are perm. I want most of the other colors lol

I only bought Brave Red (which is extreamly ironic considering ive NEVER bought anything red in my entire life- so i was... actually.. being very "brave") and i LOVE it... Its the perfect red shade- i seriously am in love- it looks gorgeous with cherry l/l and russian red l/g on top!!!! I posted some swatches in the swatch thread

Also i really like the nail polish---but it is more pink and less peach.

I got On Hold from eBay before the collection launched and I hate how it looks on me.

Way too bright pink/coral on me, though I'm sure it would look great on someone else because it is a very pretty color. I am interested in Hang Up, Hot Gossip and Party Line - did anyone get those shades and if so, what are your thoughts?

 

[bella1342]

Swatches of the nail polish look nothing like the one in the promo. I'm thinking maybe MAC used like 10-12 coats. Still. It looks like a totally different nail polish.

I B2M'd for several of these, but I can't honestly say I was thrilled with any of the colors. There is certainly no replacement for Blankety, that's for sure, so I hope that doesn't get dc'd anytime soon!

 

[Anachronism86]

I went in and got Hang Up today.
I think this formula is pretty nice, especially for dark colors because it feels moisturizing without slipping around too much on my lips and making a mess.
I put a swatch up as well. It's really pretty; I chose it for my dark lip for the fall because I never got around to picking up So Scarlet before my counter sold out.

 

[MAC_Whore]

First of all, hold on to your hats, I just now got around to buying mine. I know, I know...buying my stuff the day after a launch isn't very MAC Whore-like, is it? lol

I REALLY LOVE these. They feel great on the lips, the opacity is perfect and the colours are smashing!

When I was looking at them in the displayer I just wanted to eat them up! Gorgeous.

I B2M-ed for 5 of them. I seriously wanted every single one though. I would have normally done it, but I am buying a new car, so I tried being frugal. Frugal sucks balls.

Especially at launch time. lol

 

[panther27]

MAC Whore,you are sooo right!I only got one cremesheen

Usually I get like 4-5 lippies in a collection but I only got hot Gossip.I still want more but,I don't know,there is SO much gorg new stuff coming out that I feel like I should wait for that instead.

Aww that sucks! I'm surprised they don't have it. Funnily enough, Eaton's f/s has everything but Creme de Nude (which I'm also hoping to b2m for =D).

The MA's were all over Ravishing. Apparently everyone was wearing it b/c it's on the model but it did look quite orange in comparison. Divinity's tip from Trina makes more sense. I am a bit disappointed with the polish since it's a cream not a pearl/frost, but I might give it a go anyway. It seems a strange colour to wear for fall tho!

And Bunny, those are great facecharts! I love the lip shape on Modesty. =D

I don't think Canada got this one. It's not online either. We also didn't get Ocean 2 of the suite array e/s. I hope we get Creme d'Nude eventually...

Hug me and Modesty ended up looking reeeeeeeeeallly similar on me. I always do that... I hate having 10 shades of the same damn color basically

GlamYOURus, me and you always end up getting the same colors.

I want speed dial and fanfare too. I also want creme d-nude buttttt Im scared itll end up looking like the rest of my l/s

Also....everyone is talking about how opaque these are. Um not on me they're not. I have to swipe Modesty on like....15 times for it to show up

They are very similar in color, I agree. But Hug Me is more lighter and peachy brown than Modesty. Modesty is more pink. And the finishes give them a different look too.

Modesty on top, Hug Me on bottom:

Ewww please ignore the ugly arm hairs. hahahaa

Omg you need Speed dial and Fanfare both are so lovely. I am planning to get more down the road. I really want Brave Red. Creme De Nude was too sheer on me and light. I didn't like it. But I am NC35 and I have pigmented lips. So idk. I usually have trouble with Frosts where I have to keep swiping it on layer after layer but not with these. I think it depends on the color though.

 

[CantAffordMAC]

They look different on your arm but the same on my lips. Im NW35 and I have pigmented lips as well. I just hate having to put on so much of a lipstick its like....ridiculous. I want it to show up. Lustres are usually my favorite, I dont really like glazes because they are so thin, I havent been liking frosts too much...those are weird. But I dunno about these Cremesheens. I am definetly getting fanfare and speed dial next

I always look forward to your swatches

Sometimes it is the case with some of these lippies where it looks different on the skin but same on the lips. But these two definitely look different on my lips. I never have the same color. I hate that too. The only Glaze I liked was High Top from Fafi. I don't like Frosts or matte lippies. I don't know how to work them.

I posted swatches of the cremesheens in the swatch thread. I am in love with all 3.
