There is a citrus smell, but no taste. It really feels like a lip balm. There is a light stickiness that last a minute and then it is pure comfort on my lips. There is not a lot of color pay off, but that's what I enjoy about it. Lips feel nourished and I reapply every 2 - 3 hours. It lasts longer over the lip suede. I never liked how lip glosses felt on the lips, but this one is really a more a balm and not comparable to traditional lip glosses.

Thank you!

That's what I thought it was supposed to be. Mine arrived smelling like rancid oil. I guess the heat got to it.

Oh no! That's terrible. Can you exchange it?

Oh no. I'm sure you can exchange it.

I returned it. I decided if I reorder I’ll wait for cooler weather.

I'm the same. I don't like to place orders when it is extremely hot.

Gucci is coming out with a setting powder. I will get it, for sure. I'm scared of the price. I found her products last for a long time, though I'm not sure this will be true for a setting powder!

I must say, I do like the feel and sound of the packaging... The product has a beautful creamy texture to it, easy to sheer out or build up.

Blush Stick in Dusty Nude Rose

Breakdown - (Day look - using as both as a very sheer cheek colour, and deeper as a lip colour)

Just curious… where did you order it from?

Did you see that there is a new foundation shade in 0.5? I will definitely get it for the winter. I've been using N and 0 this past winter, and I will add 0,5 into the mix. 0 is a bit too pink for me, though it blends out nicely. 0.5 will be a great addition.

I want to add that this foundation is expensive, especially when you buy several shades. But it really lasts forever and using different shades in any foundation is probably a good idea to make it look more natural.

Direct from WA, the very first batch.

Do you know if 0.5 is as yellow as 1?

 

[Mac-Guy]

Do you know if 0.5 is as yellow as 1?

I haven't seen it in person but as I always use at least 2 shades, it does not really matter to me as much. Most of the time I use 3 shades. I would assume that 0.5 is not as pink as 0 and not as yellow as 1. Shade 1 is pretty yellow and they added this now to the description. I think that 0.5 might be a lighter version of N, which is a pretty good match for me.

I wish Gucci would make sample packs for fair, light, medium, dark. It would make it so much easier.

I’ll be curious to hear what you think if you get it. I was thinking 0.5 might be a little darker version of N. Completely agree on the sample packs.

You might be right that it is a little darker than N. I will find out in the Fall.

I think the shade match is not as important with WA as long as you use at least two shades, or better three shades. I never had a more natural looking result.

I finally got 0.5 and on my skin, it is slightly lighter than N. Both are a really good match for me. They are very close in color and undertone.

Haha, thanks. Those crazy MAC releases were just fabulous. You knew that you've missed a launch when you woke up and there were 30 new pages on Specktra. I haven't bought any MAC in years and I am glad I switched to Westman and Chantecaille. How are you anyways?

Oh great thank you. Me too! I barely have any MAC stuff now. Those days were awesome - the Barbie Collection, Heatherette and Hello Kitty! Also Cult of Cherry - remember that?! MAC has definitely fallen off since then.
