I tried those before, but somehow, I still manage to mangle it. So much for being an evil genius.

Most of the lip products sound promising.

to my knowledge, none.. at least in cremesheens. There are yellow mattes and lustre.. but no creme.. I think this is going to be a unique one too

Way to love is a lustre -- no comparision in texture

I was thinking that too.
I love my WTL lipstick and would kill for another one in a cremesheen formula!

Your welcome! I've seen WTL l/s at my CCO and I plan on getting it!

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

Speaking of different lipstick finishes, how do you guys compare cremesheen and lustre? Which one has better color payoff? Which one is longer lasting? Which one feels more moisturizing? What is the biggest difference between them? etc. Any opinions please?

lustre-
sheer-medium coverage, high shine, more moisturizing, low-medium wear

cremesheen-
medium coverage, medium shine, semi-moisturizeing, medium wear

That makes me more interested and, as we all know, MAC's descriptions are not always on the money. I'll wait to see that one, or at least to see swatches.

I feel ya! I have Utterly Frivolous, too.

I hope Innocence, Beware! will be unique. I want to see something indescribable!

I feel very slow because I could not find Plink! on the MAC website. Has it been discontinued?

cremesheens are much better than lustres in my opinion. they feel better on the lips - still moisturizing but not slippy like the lustre can feel like.

and more opaque of course

Thank you, Erin! Thank you, Lou! They sound great! I'll look forward to cremesheens in the upcoming collections.

I actually hadn't tried a cremesheen until a few weeks ago when I got Lavender Whip and then Go For It, and I am absolutely loving the formula! I love lustres, but cremesheens are becoming a favorite.

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

Cremesheen is my favorite finish!

And cremesheen glasses when talking about glosses!

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

am i the odd one out that prefers a lustre? i find cremesheens make my lips look dry

i have to coat my lips in balm, leave it 10 mins or so, then put on lippie with my cremesheens, but with the lustres i'm good to go straight away

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

I prefer lustres, too

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

are we thinking vile violet will be similar to mufe 92 sort of shade?

i just saw swatches

no it is nothing similar, boo

 

[PinkBasset]

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

I do like the feel of lustres, but I won't buy them anymore because of the lanolin in them (I hate that cruel wool business!

).

Cremesheen has a much better color payoff -- lustre's are pretty but sometimes need to be swiped over and over again to get more color and they don't last too long

of course, lustres feel more moisturizing
