Hi @Howards End I will let you know tomorrow.. I don't even think I know the difference between an amplified and a CS. I'm a matte girl all the way.
Amp has more color impact and isn't glossy. It's also more moisturizing on the lips than mattes/rm's. There is more shine than them too but it isn't shiny if you get what I mean. Creamsheens are way less opaque and have a glossy factor. That's my explanation, lol.

Apparently 'Cremesheen' Heaux is not Heaux. It's Heau, but not the sexy berry like OG Heaux
Steups, what shit is that? Who came up with that??

I just received my Heaux too and it says Amplified. I called a friend who does design consultation and event planning for MAC to verify, and I'm waiting for her to call me back. If it is indeed Amplified, that changes the game and it may sell out if it's an online exclusive.
What did I miss? oh amplified not cremesheen?

So, my friend called back and said she is trying to get more info for me. So far, she and several others at MAC believe it was supposed to be released as Amplified all along. But as usual, the people in charge at MAC have no straight answers as to why it is listed on their site as a cremesheen. Right now I don't think they know what it is...lol

LOL! Preaching to the choir. I need to learn how to use my angles when taking selfies. Then there's the girls on IG with hundreds of selfies and I'm over like "Teach me your ways!"

I've never had a creamsheen, so I can't compare to that, but it feels a lot like Mia Moretti, Divaish, Reel Sexy...it's not super glossy. It applied more slick, but I think that's because it was on the 5:30pm UPS truck, and it's been hella hot and I didn't have patience to wait for it to cool longer. I'm honestly lucky it arrived and wasn't goop. Either way, I liked it enough to order another. :)

Thanks for the explanation. It was very helpful.

No prob! After matte this was my fav MAC finish (until I tried Satin!)...it's not entirely unique in terms of how they have the mattes on lockdown but the color payoff is fab. I only have two amps though, Pure Heroine and Happy-Go-Lucky. Wait no, just got more with MIB I think...Make Me Gorg...

I think it's safe to say they're all amp! :yahoo: Let's see how long before it sells out. Is Heaux only MAC online exclusive or will dept stores have them online as well? Figure I'd ask as obvious as the answer may be.

I got it because of you, thank you! I also picked up a cucumber Fix+. I'm gonna feel so freshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.


Also can someone please tell me how you pronounce Heaux? Is it like hoe, or whore, either way they're both kinda taboo to brag about? Or like you're about to be sick kind wretch-noise..? So many negative connotations for such a pretty lipstick..

Its a slang rihanna used to use on her Twitter page when referring to her best friends/crew. Sometimes girls call their female friends "hos" or "bitches" as a term of endearment lol. Rihanna just made it more classy by spelling ho the "French" way, Heaux. Im sure she wasnt the first to spell it this way on twitter or any other social media platform though.
