My 239 is permanently stained with Clarity and MUFE #75, lol! it looks sorta lilac. I don't care enough to get a new one though. It's still works, it's just not white

I'm on the fence about these lippies! I'm not sure any is unique enough to keep. I took some pics and need your help, okay???? Let me know what works and what doesn't???......

Yup, I love Plumage, Deep Blue Green p/m and just about any teal colour smoked out. I'll be trying Birds & Berries tomorrow and hopefully that'll work better.

I ended up getting all 4 lippies from this collection, here is Blooming Lovely. Now I am not sure how I feel about this color with my skin tone. I could see this for a night out on the town but not for work or anything......

If any of you are on the fence about this color, here it is on NC 25, 30 and sometimes NC35.

OMG what the heck! It looks gorgeous on you! I am NC 25-30 as well and it looks nothing like that on me. Im soo jealous

Since you bought all 4 lippies, can you please post the other colors on the lips as well, thanks!

 

[LoveMyMakeup]

Thank you, it looks better in picture than it does in person...LOL, I might just keep this lipstick just to keep it

)

I will try to post pics by the end of this week of the other lippies.

I did however wear Peachstock yesterday and it looked chalky on my lips after about an hour of wearing it.

 

[Babylard]

^ i think it looks pretty on you! maybe with a neutral cool eye, it should be fine

 

[Miss QQ]

^^ I agree, BL is gorgeous on you, LoveMyMakeup!

I have decided to go with P&P for the lipstick from this collection! I love that you say it is more pink fuchsia.

Maybe BL too, if it doesn't look like death on me. I don't want Ever Hip and Peachstock.

 

[LoveMyMakeup]

My favorite from this collection is both of the podwers. I have been wearing Summer Rose for the past 4 days and shell powder along with it for the past 2 days. I know these are re-promotes but I didnt have them and I am so happy I did.

It's so weird because when I bought Peachstock last year, I disliked it quite a bit, at least enough to sell it. But I got it again in this packaging and it's one of my faves of the l/s! I don't know what changed. Frankly Fresh l/g on top helps a little too.

Hey girls! So I received my items in the mail today, I have to say that Blooming Lovely lipstick and English Accents lipglass are absolute must-haves. I am not a back-up'er and I will be backing these up FOR SURE.

I put Blooming Lovely on very lightly and it looked more pink than purple (despite LoveMyMakeup's beautiful photo above) and is just ridiculously beautiful. Putting English Accents over it just made it even more stunning.

I am NC37-40'ish for reference... DH instantly wanted a huge smooch when he saw my lips!!

These are colous you can easily wear everyday contrary to some other comments I have seen on here - I don't find these to be bright or wild at all, in fact the opposite for me, very pink/purple/neutral. Will def be in my daily rotation.
Not trying to be an enabler.. just for those that are mulling it over I would get these two colours over the others if you want something wearable/tame and that you will actually use.

 

[jenixxx]

I also purchased the Medium make-up bag. I am happy with it and think it is really pretty but $36 is a little steep for a make-up bag and I do personally think this item is a bit overpriced although I will be keeping it.

Lastly is Summer Rose BP which I have not tried yet but is worth it for the packaging alone.

So great success (!!!) for me, glad I went for this collection, am loving it. Will love it even more when I get my lippie back-ups.

 

[Goat Goat Etc.]

Indeed, enjoy what you have!

I swatched Scene next to Bough Grey today...little to say, I prefer my blue toned grey to Bough's green.

UGHH! I'm not liking how Peachstock photographs! It looks nice in person, but on camera.....ehhhhhh- It kind of almost looks like concealer!

 

[Dollfaced]

This collection is killing me.
I'm just a student with no job.. I got Shell BP, ever hip l/s, and a lipgloss
I want MORE.

I think I'm just going to get prim &proper blush or blooming lovely or english accents. then hopefully that's it with MAC for a gooood while.

 

[cougargirl]

I couldn't get any of the lip colors to work on me when I swatched them. *Shakes head in disgust.* I must be really unique or something! Of course, that leaves more money for eye and cheek products, not an entirely bad thing.

For those still undecided on Prim and Proper and Shell Pearl, I thought I would post the following pic. I am extremely pale - NC15 in Studio Fix Fluid. Maybe this will help those still on the fence. I apologize if this isn't supposed to be in here. Anyway, here it goes. Ignore the hair (it's a disaster) and the lips (they are just me - I didn't feel like reapplying). This picture is five hours into wear, so I thought it might give people a good idea of how long both last when worn. I'm not very good at photographs, so I apologize.

 

[only1angel]

As requested, here are some pics of the lippies. I am also wearing Birds & Berries, Bough Grey, and Dame's Desire on the lids in these 2 looks, along with other shades not included in the collection!

Mods- If this is pic heavy and has to be removed, please let me know and I will remove immediately

Ever Hip w/balm underneath to sheer it out

Peachstock

Petals & Peacocks w/balm to sheer it out

In Synch, Blooming Lovely, and Culture Clash

WHICH LIPPIE SHOULD I KEEP????????????????

 

[GlamYOURUs]

They all look so beautiful on you! Really! You're so pretty, anything would look good on you but if I were to pick my least fav it would be Peachstock, its a bit orangish and not the right kind.
