Friday, April 24, 2009Tender Tryst, Magnetique and Odyssey are a definite must on my wishlist, and still really like Loving Touch too, but not so sure about the other l/s and l/g. I’ll need to see them in person first for sure.
Christine
Wednesday, April 29, 2009Secret Crush! That’s a must for me ;)

Friday, April 24, 2009I love the lipsticks and the glosses. I ended up getting two of each. The lip colors looks really good on my hand but on my lips not so much. Loving touch looks really light on my lips – I can barely see it. Christine’s lip swatches look fab and mine just don’t look like that. Maybe I’m missing something.
Heather
Friday, April 24, 2009I actually skipped ALL of the lip products this time…which is a total first for me! I’m holding out for Chanel’s new Glossimers :-) Very lovely swatches Christine! Which one is your favorite?
Christine
Wednesday, April 29, 2009Wow! Congrats, Heather ;)
Magnetique!
Katrina
Friday, April 24, 2009wow i love Way to Love, & A Rose Romance, !!!
Christine
Wednesday, April 29, 2009Did you get ‘em, Katrina?
Jessie
Friday, April 24, 2009I’m in love with the see thru colors lol I have Loving Touch, and I’ma head in and look at Secret Crush and Magnetique today. I heard you can use the cheek gel on the lips, too.
I used a bit of White Magic l/g (from the Alexander McQueen line) dabbed on my lower lip over the Loving Touch and it looks amazing.
Christine
Wednesday, April 29, 2009I imagine you could definitely use the gel blush on lips :)
Thanks for the rec on the lip combo!

Friday, April 24, 2009I definitely like Odyssey & Magnetique a whole lot. Since Odyssey is perm, maybe i will get it closer to fall as it seems more like a winter color for me. Magnetique though, may have to be a purchase. I will have to try it on cause I just got Funtabulous dazzleglass that appears as a fuschia pink on me & that is how Magnetique looks too in the swatch. Will have to see…Thanks for the swatches Christine! They all look great on you. Anxiously awaiting your first Rose Romance look. *hint, hint* :)
Christine
Wednesday, April 29, 2009Yes, definitely get Magnetique :) You will love ittt!
pia
Friday, April 24, 2009I’m on a budget till new school year starts. But can’t help wanting magnetique and odissey. Thanks to the magnificent swatches, Christine!
Christine
Wednesday, April 29, 2009No prob, Pia! At least Odyssey is perm ;)
agnes
Friday, April 24, 2009you know how lip stains have a tendency to settle into fine lines or dry areas of the lip? are the see thru lip colours anything like that? i really want to get secret crush and tender tryst…but if its anything like benetint or vincent longo stains i might have to skip it. i love lip stains but i can never seem to get it to look right even with exfoliating!
Christine
Wednesday, April 29, 2009I didn’t notice it with Loving Touch or Secret Crush, but Tender Tryst might a bit…
Nathalie
Friday, April 24, 2009“Steal My Heart” is atrocely sheer!
Christine
Wednesday, April 29, 2009Yep, it is pretty sheer :/
Aleia
Friday, April 24, 2009Wow. Honestly I think you have great lips for lipsticks and gloss, they always look great on you! Odyssey looks AMAZING though.
Christine
Wednesday, April 29, 2009Aw, thanks, Aleia!

Friday, April 24, 2009I usually don’t get MAC glosses, but I may get Magnetique to go over the Rebel I just bought.
Christine
Wednesday, April 29, 2009That would be a FIERCE combo!

Friday, April 24, 2009A Rose Romance looks really pretty. I’d like to own it but I’m still trying to get lavender Whip and Saint Germain — which seems pretty much impossible now. =(
Jessie
Friday, April 24, 2009Sometimes they’ll still have them in the stores or on the website. I know the nordstroms here has colors from older collections. I picked up Marquis ‘D the other day.
Colleen
Friday, April 24, 2009Macys.com also often has the limited edition colors for a long time. I found some dazzleglasses there long after other places had sold out.
Christine
Wednesday, April 29, 2009Oh no! Good luck tracking those down!
apfelwinter
Friday, April 24, 2009Hm, despite I voted for Way to Love earlier, now I’d choose Secret Crush see thru instead. What do you think of S.C.?
Christine
Wednesday, April 29, 2009I LOVE Secret Crush! It’s so wearable!
Sanny
Friday, April 24, 2009aghh so pretty! I love Rose Romance and A way to love <33
Christine
Wednesday, April 29, 2009Are you gonna get ‘em, Sanny? ;)

Friday, April 24, 2009I really need to throw out my old Odyssey and buy a new one (I have the SE one from 2005, Treasures & Stashettes I think it was, and it’s all dried out). I’d forgotten how much I love it until I saw this swatch! :D
Christine
Wednesday, April 29, 2009LOL, that’s how I feel about Magnetique :D
baybee
Friday, April 24, 2009way to love lipstick looks good on yoU!!
Christine
Wednesday, April 29, 2009Thanks, Baybee!
Yaya
Friday, April 24, 2009I’m definitely going to MAC to try on Odyssey, Way to Love, and Magnetique… and maybe more.
Christine
Wednesday, April 29, 2009Hope you like, Yaya!

Sunday, April 26, 2009Hi,
i was wondering if anyone could tell me if Rose Romance L/S is pretty similar to Pure Rose L/S from the E.Ungaro coll.?
Leah
Sunday, April 26, 2009Hi Hanna,
In my opinion I don’t they are close enough to call a dupe. Rose Romance has more of a blue undertone and different shimmer reflects than Pure Rose. You might want to try out Way to Love though. That’s more of a warm pink like Pure Rose.
Christine
Wednesday, April 29, 2009I think it’s a little plummier?
Hanna
Monday, April 27, 2009HI Leah,
thanks for your response i will take a closer look at both of them. I live 3 hours away from my MAC stand so I totally relay on all the information and swatches I get online.
