It's really good for toning down lippies. Just apply it over the l/s.

Or you can use it as a highligher on your lips.

Yup I love lippies and blushes/MSFs.

Nope I haven't bought a backup before (with the exception of P+P Transparent Finishing Powder), I'm staying strong on my no backup rule. And it's also partly because I haven't used up a tube of anything yet, so I gotta be realistic and save some cash.

My resistant level of getting backups of items I love,is almost close to zero. I hope I can be like you

I have also never finish anything from MAC before except one pot of tendertones.

Aww I'm sure you'll figure out a way to control your urges too.

Btw I saw that you're selling Glissade? Is it anything like Redhead/Refined?

Actually I never tried Glissade before but I dont think it is similar to Redhead or Refined as I had never heard anyone mentioned that before

hee hee!

sriously it never got re-stocked on the uk site! i tried in the nottingham mac shop about 4 times and they never had it! even got my mum to have a look at her local mac and no luck!

i will be using ll tommorow with smile dazzleglass! love it sooooooo much!

Also i thought i'd mention i have used my perfect topping msf every single day i have worn make up as a highlight! it is super pretty and really makes me glow! i love it!

I have all three and Glissade is nothing like the other two. Glissade has a chunky, glittery finish, and is more of a beigy tone comapred to Redhead/Refined which are more of a noticable peach...

If you can imagine the lightest (or 2nd lightest) colour of redhead - this is like the colour of Glissade, but it has a crappier finish.

Hope that helps!

Thanks a lot for the description! I guess Glissade is not worth getting after all, I have both Redhead and Refined.

Sweet Thing is WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know if it just works especially well with my coloring (NW15, brunette, green eyes) or what, but Sweet Thing instantly brightens my whole face, giving me a young, fresh look.
At 45, I gotta love that!
If you liked Rebelrose, Sweet Thing is an absolute must, because it is very similar, with a tiny hint of purple/magenta in it.

First it wasn't really noticed by the overwhelming attention Lollipop Loving, Bubbles, the MSFs and the Shadesticks had caught but now Sweet Thing strikes back.

Do you have the chance to swatch it in person?

It actually is such an amazing lipstick and deserves more attention but swatching it in person would be the best to tell if it would be amazing for you too.

My local MAC counter here had already sent back all the Sugar Sweet testers back to HQ, so no chance to test the colors out

But you made me so WANTING to get Sweet Thing now

Sweet Thing is a sheer (Lustre) magenta color with silver shimmer/sparkles and if this sounds like a lipstick you would like and wear you could get it.

The color itself probably isn't that unique but the silver sparkles make it unique.

HTH

 

[Miss QQ]

Yes, the magenta colour with the silver glitter is amazing. And the lustre finish is my favourite. I love it by itself, and also topped with Baby Sparks. Coincidentally, I'm wearing it today!

I just saw Sweet Thing l/s at the DFS counter yesterday. Go there to check it out.

Sorry all you Sweet Thing lovers, I did swatch it on my lips and it didn't impress me.

I have more awesome lipstick shades than this.

Lollipop Loving, on the other hand, is becoming a fave of mine as a gorgeous nude lip color to match peachy blushes.
