[dreamer246]

The tricolor glosses seem to have a lot more fans now than before.

Thanks to all 3 of you!!

*Finally* Decided....Blonde, Redhead, AND Perfect Topping!!!

The hardest part still here.....waiting!!

Soo, my list is getting longer (pockets are getting lighter..)

I showed the swatches to my SO, and he liked Stars N Rockets (which I don't already have) and Bubbles!!

He wants me to get Bubbles in place of the St. Germain (don't know if I will really take that off my list

)

I'm most excited about MSF's right now though!!

If he wants you to get Bubbles, have HIM get it for you.

Then you can still get St. Germain.

I was in my favourite MAC Pro store yesterday to buy Hello Kitty and Grand Duo stuff but I saw the Sugarsweet stands and I couldn't help previewing it. Here are my thoughts:

The shadesticks are really creamy, they slide like butter and the colors are great. I definitely need them and I'm sure most of us won't be able to resist them

Tri colour lipglasses look great in the tube, but they are kinda sheer, it doesn't bother me 'cos they still give some color, even on my highly pigmented lips. I think they are great for some days, that you want to look decent but not over-done. I hope I can explain what I want to say I was thinking of buying only one of these just because of the unique structure and the square bottle, but I decided to buy 3 pinky colors. They are not too sticky for my taste but the bad thing is they have doefoot applicator (which I hate hate), so I'll use them with disposible gloss brushes

Lipsticks are great too. Lollipop lovin' is as great as before Sweet Thing is a wonderful color, I won't mind buying all the hot pinks MAC ever creates. This one is in my fave finish (Lustre) too.

I was only disappointed with MSFs in this collection.. I don't know why but they seemed chalky to me.. Anyways I'm not an MSF fan (The only MSF I have is MSF natural duo ), so ignore my MSF comment if you are an MSF-lover

Rest of the pictures are in swatch thread

I really want to pass the MSF's but the MSF addict in me is not co-operating. I don't want to pass them and then regret it because i have been kicking myself for the past year and a half for skipping warmed msf.

Thanks a lot for the review and the swatches. Can you compare Cakeshop shadestick to Greenstroke pp? Are they similar?

 

[abbyquack]

Despite all the great reviews on everything, I unfortunately have no choice but to stick to my intital list:
-Refined MSF
-Perfect Topping MSF
-Lollipop Lovin l/s (b2m)
-Bubbles l/s (b2m)
-St. Germain (b2m)
-Peppermint Patty NL

and *MAYBE* Sugarshot if it is really awesome as you all claim. Do I need it though, since I have tons of highlight colors? Or seasonal peach? My counter has had this left over since Cremesheen, lol, so I guess it's not too important.

I'm passing all the lipglosses, because l/g is l/g no matter how it's packaged (

) and I'm also passing the shadesticks b/c I don't even use the ones I have (they're for sale b/c what's the point if they're just gonna sit around, right?).

Oh and a question, I hope it hasn't been asked, are there some Perfect Topping msfs with more lavender veining than others? I want one that's lavender dangit!

Thanks, Saint Germain is back on the list

Thanks for asking this, I would like to know the similarity too, I have (and love) Greenstroke and I really like how paint pots apply and last on my lids

Hi Everyone!

I have just been recently introduced to Specktra and I am amazed that there are so many girls/ guys like me who are OBSESSED with makeup and Mac. It's great!

Anyway, I have been waiting for SugarSweet to come out forever. It is very hard because I work next to a Mac store in Soho and live next to a PRO store in NYC. Constant temptation...

I am going to run over there with my best friend who is just as obsessed as I am so... so let's see what I come home with and have to hide from my boyfriend...

Nice to meet you all...virtually!

 

[OfficerJenny]

I can't wait until next Thursday

I need some Lollipop Lovin

I am curious about that too!

Also how close are Peppermint Patty and For Audrey from China Glaze?
Today I got Pink Of Hearts from OPI and it looks like a pinker version of Seasonal Peach.

Oh, really? What coulours do you wear this paint pot with? I never know what to do with it. I know there was a thread recently, but when it comes to Greensmoke I am always curious

They aren't close at all. For Audrey is blue.
