LOL! Amps are shiny in my experience, and quite creamy, but always more opaque than cremesheens. I don't think the heat is a factor in them appearing shiny.If you look back a couple pages we've been talking about it since yesterday, I know, it's a lot. One swipe and it's not fully opaque like an Amplified would be, but it's not completely see-thru, in this pic you can kind of tell it has a little transparency to it, especially the one on the left and when you look to the top. This is one swipe:
I only have one cremesheen and that's creme d'nude and I just opened it and it's the same pearly finish as this Heaux, there are little glitters.
Omg, I don't know anymore, just swatched my amps and they're pretty shinyIs it the heat? They were sweating.
l-r: Happy-Go-Lucky, Pure Heroine, Make Me Gorgeous and Heaux Pt. Deux
I'm so over this
They tend to sweat a lot which is annoying.
Thanks for the your swatches, MMG is lovely on you, as is Heaux!

Yeah I have more I think in just MAC, NYX and Wet n Wild, I haven't added my other lipsticks to my spreadsheet yet

Yeah but without the retro matte finish it's not the same. Like why name it Heaux? Baffles me. They have lipsticks that are the same color with different finishes and names, they didn't need to go there. If they were bringing back Heaux, they should have brought back the OG, if they couldn't, name it something else imo. It's probably my least fav lipstick from them for the year.

They should've called it Faux Heaux. But I totally agree, if they can bring back RRB as MLM (but under a different finish) why can't they do the same instead of blaspheming against OG Heaux

I'm guessing that this Heaux has the exact same pigment mix as the original, hence the same name (despite the rest of the formula being different). Other almost-twins probably have slightly different pigment mixes, so even though they look pretty darn similar to us they get different names.

Heaux didn't last all day and I wasn't out long. I'm soooo torn cause i love the color but the formula dries the inside of my lips. I still plan on getting backups because I love the color on me and keep getting compliments when I wear it.

Why don't you just get d for danger instead of trying to force this one to work.

Little confused, I ordered Pillow Talk and Heaux on the same day, had two tracking numbers, and now it is just showing Heaux being delivered tomorrow and Pillow Talk as "processing"???? Mac makes things much more difficult sometimes!

Wait you don't have the OG Heaux? If not, get DfD like Pretty suggested and top with Heaux Pt. Deux. If it's drying the inside of your lips I don't see why you should get backups. Seems like high maintenance to me, but that's just myvery pretty!

I do have the original version. It's actually drier on me than the new one but I wear lip balm under it and that remedies the problem. I looked at swatches and think I will skip backing up Heaux part 2. I'll get it instead. They look like twins.

Oh yeah for sure, rm is drier. Today I wore OG with a bit of the new one on top and it looked good. When I wanted to reapply, instead of wiping off and starting from scratch (balm, primer then lipsticks), I just reapplied OG which made my lips super dry but then I put a dab of the new Heaux on top it fixed the prob.
This was this a.m...
Both Heaux's w/NYX Deep Purple lip pencil.
