I am sooooo excited about the tendertones release!! I own two and I LOVE them for summer wear
I want one of nearly every color LOL
I think I just have one, and I don’t know if I’ve used it since I bought it, lol.
omg e-z baby looks so pretty
I hope they have some pigmented ones, that’s what I want to see!
Christine,
I have a question for you, how do you create a lip stain? Would this product help? I am curious to see if you could create stains in different colors? Thanks.
Teresa
Hey Teresa,
You can create one usually by taking a very pigmented lipstick and blotting several times. For example, red lipsticks usually leave a stain behind.
yep. i will def be picking up some. i can wear them when i work as lifeguard this summer.
Good call! And they have some SPF! Score for you!
Christine – Do you know if they are going to be released again soon?
I haven’t heard anything about Tendertones being re-released. There are some tinted lip balms coming with Baby Blooms in June/July, and they’re expected to be similar to Tendertones, though.
Man I soooo hope these at least give a sheer version of their pot colour – there is nothing worse than a tinted balm that looks about as “wow” as a swipe of Vaseline……
Peri – I’m so with you on that. That’s exactly what happened when I got excited about the Strobe collection…none of the colors showed up or did ANYTHING for me. I hope this collection is better. I didn’t buy any last year…but if they stain and the colors pop enough, I’m on it!
Me too, Peri!
I’m on the fence about these. i don’t like to stick my finger in products and I hear that these are kinda heavy for carrying in your purse. We’ll wait and see…
I totally agree!
Ditto, Sandy!! I agree that they’re a bit heavy for purse use, too.
I think the Honey Bare and Take a Hint descriptions are mixed up. I’m getting 4 of these.. I love them so much!!
Hm, I know this info is straight from the press release for the launch, so I don’t know!
I never tried Tendertones, but the colors are pretty!I think I might try.
They’re pretty, and they feel great on lips!
These all look gorgeous!!! I have one from last year’s collection and love to use it at night before bed! My lips feel great in the morning. I definitely will be getting a few of these!!!!!!!!
Which one do you have from last year, Nicole?
I think I’ll pass on this collection, with so many new items coming, my MAC buying won’t be leaning towards another lipbalm to add to the 100s I own. Plus $17.50 CAD for one is a bit much. I’ll stick with my Burt’s Bees.
There are so many other bits and bobs I’d rather have, too!
What a beautiful palette. Soft…
It’s tempting, right?
OMG! LOVE the colors! So fresh!
Hope you enjoy them, Tiffany!
Pretty colors!
I just hope they show up
I have Purring and Warm Smile and use them every day, so I’ll definitely be re-stocking my supply with a couple of these (maybe Hot n Saucy & Deep Sigh?). I carry Purring in my purse (I don’t find it that heavy) and use a retractable lip brush with it so that I don’t have to stick my finger in the pot.
Oh, nice! Are you close to finishing either yet?
I’m used a little over half of each of them (had them since October). I’m a little worried that Purring is getting funky, though, it has started to turn more pinkish…
Not too bad, then! I didn’t realize they’d last so long though!
Hm, if it smells OK, it’s usually fine then!
I picked up Sweet&Nice at the PRO store last week. I´m really happy with that, pigmented enough for me. Quite heavy to carry arond though…
Awesome! I’m glad it was pigmented enough for you, but yeah, the glass jar is so impractical!
are these flavoured by any chance?
They are scented with watermelon, but I don’t taste anything.
i bought ‘sweet tooth’, ‘pucker’, and ‘honey bare’ they feel so amazing on the lips… i love love love them. I’ll be using a brush with them because i don’t like sticking my fingers in them… but i fell in love as soon as i opened the first little pot. <3
Nice! I keep a retractable lip brush for these myself!
The MAC website recently switched the descriptions of Take a Hint and Honey Bare. I thought there was something funny about those two descriptions.
I know! I didn’t even bother reading them until I did the review and saw they were mixed up!
I bought Pucker last year and just ordered E-Z Baby.
Awesome! Hope you enjoy them, Kate!
