That makes me sad, I wanted to get this lipstick just because it's the name of my favorite book character :-( I'm NC20, so it will probably look all kinds of horrendous on me.

I really want Dear Cupcake but when i tried pink the other day I just looked sick, HELP!

I'm NC25, and I'll wear both cooler and warmer shades. Actually, I'll wear just about anything, but... some colours do have to be combined with something to "anchor" it if that makes sense! I often wear pinks with a deep brown, grey or black shadow on the outer corner, same with violets and blues. And if you add a thin black line along the upper lash line, it seems to finish the look. Today I wore Idol Eyes, which is really the wrong colour for me completely, because it's cool and grey-ish, but I used the brown shade from Ungaro (was it called Mineral?) and put on some black mascara, and I thought it looked okay. HTH!

I find that when one has really pigmented lips, they can pull off most lipsticks, even ones that look like death in a tube, like bubbles. It warms up the colours so it doesn't look like we were just drained of blood, so I think it will look fabulous on you.

Maybe not! You should go to the counter and try it out yourself

I think it would look really pretty for people like NC15-NC25. Or just people with more of a cooler tone to their skin.

Peppermint Patti sold out on the mac site. Now I think I have to get it for sure. Looks very pretty and unique to me.

Hi guys, so I walked out with:

Red Velvet shadestick
Lemon Chiffon shadestick
St. Germain Lipstick
Aquavert Eye shadow
Pepermint Patty Nail Polish
and some other unrelated stuff...lol

Out of everything, I think the shadesticks are awesome. Super silky and I hear they are formulated differently from the discontinued shadesticks.

Lemon Chiffon looks liky Nylon and Butternutty looks like All That Glitters. I think I may go back for more! Penny would be nice to enhance amber lights and all those coppery burnt orange shades. I love red velvet and I love pink eyeshadows, so that was a must for me lol.

The MSFs are silky smooth, but I didn't feel like I needed them

I'm on the wall with St Germain. I am NC25 and on the cool side but I feel like this lippie is a little strange looking. Its super cool and has very strong blue undertones. very pastel pink indeed. I will have to try it out with full eyem ake up to decide if it's a keeper... I really wanted to love it =/ but it makes me look strangely tanned and my lips are very pigmented and the blue undertones make it look yucky... though my bf said its nice... maybe i'll trade it for sweet thing instead. I feel like its a relative of Sweetie but a little more intense/darker with pretty silver pearl. i dont think i'd ever use bubbles regardless of all the hype, but its a pretty white sheen.

the glosses were pretty... sheer but uber pearly, but i told myself damn i don't need anymore glosses... i'll probably cave in and get one though. lol

i already own stars n rockets and its a serious must have if you dont own it already or get it somewhere down the line since its perm, but its one of my most used as its a gorgeous versatile pinky purple with gorgeous duochrome.

sugarshot is another crappy textured chunky lustre that flakes all over the place. i frowned as soon as my Q-tip swiped. not worth the effort unless you use it with pencil brush or something... though its super frosty and pretty... it seems different from solar white o_O solar white is... not as shiny? and has pink tinge to it when sugarshot is whiter
club is.. well club.

dear cupcake is pretty, but really powdery and feels more like a chalky matte minus the heavier pigment rather than a satin. its a pretty pink coral, but i didnt see no gold pearl whatsoever. reminds me of Dance Mix from the Diana Eyes quad but pinker and less red. i MIGHT get it but hm... we'll see...

aquavert is gorgeous! i fell in love with the beautiful sheen of minty green goodness! just beautiful i tell ya! a must eyeshadow. get it, don't walk, RUN! and i was skeptical before I saw it...

peppermint patty is an adorableeee nail color!! at first, i wasn't interested in the nail polish but my bf was like "oh this looks pretty" and painted my nails and I fell in love. I somehow got into MAC nail polishes cuz of him. (started with $$$ YES and then the white from hello kitty and now this)

seasonal peach is nice, but it ain't got SHIT on pepermint patty.

not an exciting collection but it's got something for everyone.

I love Saint Germain on me,it's a very cool toned color.I'm sure it would look really pretty on you Elegant,did you order it?I either wear it alone,or layer a paler pink gloss over it to tone it down.I can get a lot of uses out of it

Red velvet is gorgeous and creamy,and looks good with a lot of different shadows over it
