Sweet! I assumed since they weren't online they wouldn't be in stores either. I guess now I can get Creme d'Nude!

Im just SO glad these are perm- im in love with my brave red-- God I love MAC.. i never would have tried a red like that if it weren't for MAC.. seriously. In love.. The fact that I can pull off a red like that now makes me so happy Icould cry.

Or it might be the post-partum hormones. I dont know.

After viewing swatch thread:
Can someone please tell me if "Dare You" is a dupe of "Dubonnet"?

I have "Dubonnet," and rarely wear it.
As much as I'd like to try out the Cremesheen formula, I don't need two lipsticks of the same color if it's a color I rarely wear.

cno64 - good point - I'd love to see in the cremesheen swatch thread:

dare you against.....dubonnet, fresh moroccan, spice it up, and viva glam 1

to compare color - I know they are different finishes ...

Picked up Creme d'Nude yesterday when I was out. I have to admit, I was initially hesitant because I tried it on while I was there but I wasn't exactly sure how it'd look if I wore it for longer than a couple of minutes.

Creme d'Nude is now my HG lipstick and I can't be more thrilled that it's permanent! I'm always doing nude lips but I prefer more opaque coverage than a lustre or glaze finish, and I don't quite like the excess of gloss in the lipglass lines. Cremesheen is probably the most perfect happy medium, literally. The coverage is probably medium, because my lip color is still a tiny bit visible, but only slightly, and the sheen it leaves is just right.

I swear, I have to get more, but since it's permanent, I can spread it out over time.

Sure thing! I picked up Brave Red, Ravishing, Speed Dial, On Hold and Speak Louder. Ravishing was a pleasant surprise. It's nice to find a flat, cream, pigmented peach. Most have shimmer or are too sheer.

Next on the list: Creme d'Nude and Dare You. The only one I don't really want is Stay in Touch. I don't think it will do much for me.

Me too. The paler the better. And Creme De Nude was just too beige, but I think I'm going to go back and try it again.

On thursday, the f/s store I went to didn't have it yet, but they did have it at the Bay, just not very many.

I went to check these out today & I love Creme De Nude & Fanfare (I'm NW15) they are both gorgeous. Speed dial was a bit too bright on me. However, Creme De Nude comes off kind of like a lustre to me... it's not nearly as opaque as the others and it is practically exactly the same as my 2N l/s which is great cause I love that one & now will be able to buy another similar shade when I run out.

I did B2M for Fanfare because I thought it was very unique and corally but wearable. I'd describe the cremesheens as a lustre with a matte coverage (if that makes any sense).. ie they look glossy like a lustre and moisterize like one, but have the thick/opaqueness of a matte.

I wore Lure with Ravishing and Fulfilled all day today. It lasted FOREVER. Mind you I don't lick my lips or rub them together often (at all), but usually my lips get like... crusty/gross, eneven, etc. But this stayed perfect for like 3 hours until I ate. Then i reapplied and it was perfect for hours again.

same here! i worked 8 hours yesterday and did my lips twice! once when i got there and then when i got back from lunch. i got quite a few of these babies.

 

[obbreb]

I bought Hot Gossip and loving it! Fanfare was too corally for me, this was what I had in mind about what shade to get.

 

[nikki]

I got Creme d'Nude and I must say that I LOVE it!!!! It is gorgeous!!! I also want Modesty, but decided to wait since they are permanent. A few of the reds were pretty too. I'm sure I'll end up owning most of them ;-)

 

[MzFit]

I B2M for Creme d'Nude OMG love it prefect it is the perfect nude.

How does Creme d'Nude compare with Masque and Archetype? I'm hoping it leans towards Archetype b/c I have Masque. *please please...*

Creme d'nude is much much paler than masque. Iirc, archetype had golden tones to it so it doesn't really compare.
