MAC Cremeteam Cremesheen Lipsticks Lip Swatches

Friday, February 6th, 2009


Lickable

Cremesheen lipsticks from Cremeteam lip swatches! :) I do feel Cremesheen lipsticks to be well-pigmented, but the texture can be a little drying for some. I definitely recommend layering your lips with some balm 10-15 minutes prior (then blotting it off) so your lips take the color better. Creme In Your Coffee surprised me with how pretty it was on (I thought it might be a little on the brown side for me), and Hang Up was ridiculously dark (which means who knows when I’ll wear it!). Lickable is definitely in-ya-face in its rich color, but I’m sure it’ll be a popular one! See the colors for yourself!


Creme Cup


Creme In Your Coffee

what is everyone stressing over lavender. It looks disgusting on all most everyone i've seen wear it sorry ladies:( Anyway what creamgloss would go best for crosswire, cream in your cofee and spice is nice anyone knows????

I like all colors but lickable

i really love the color of creme cup im a sucker for a biege/light pink :) i think im gonna have to get that now

I love your on-the-lips swatches - they are so helpful! I still really want Creme in Your Coffee and Spice is Nice! ^_^

Where is my English today? I'll probably...with full lips

Ugh I hate you Christine...now I have to have Spice Is Nice =p. I probably get that and Fashion Mews. I like that Fashion Mews is a more transparent. I am an NW45 will full lips, so I'm going to have a bit of trouble. But lavender (my favorite color) lipstick in Hello Kitty (loved all of the Sario characters) packaging really honors my childhood, ya know.

LOL!! At least it is perm, so you don't have to rush to get it :)

I am thinking of getting more of this..I have creme in your coffee..I will go back for spice is nice and crosswires..love the texture and the pigmentation!!!

I do love the pigmentation of Cremesheens, too!

Hmm.. I purchased Shy Girl but I think I'm gonna go back to get Lickable and Creme in Your Coffee.. and maybe even Crosswires! lol.. I'll do that after my Hello Kiity haul though.. I'm sure I'll be broke after that collection lol.

lol!! At least you can get these at your leisure :)

I went in for Lavender Whip because I was SO excited to finally see a lavender. To say the least I was really disappointed; it's too pale for my taste. BUT i ended up buying Petite Indulgence Gloss and Lickable lipstick. They were so pretty together. So I finally bought something other than red or brown....YAY! even though I'll probably go back for Spice is nice

It's too bad it didn't work out for you! It is quite pale/cool, though! At least you got something non-brown/red :P That is a step in the right direction!!

omg, likable is gorg! i really wanted that one, but i passed. it's so bright. i'm sure i'll end up getting it eventually, cuz i don't think i can resist. LOL! How do you think it compares in color to Girl About Town?

It is pretty bright, but it's so pretty. It's very similar, but it's a little lighter and it has a different finish (gives you that sheen). It's not quite as opaque either.

i went a bit crazy with this collection! i ended up with 3 lipsticks and 5 glosses! i might eventually go back for more lipsticks...but for now i'm cut off...

Nice! Which ones did you get? Any combos you recommend?

what are your favourite lipsticks Christine? and OMG - can I take the lips too (think lips here :() Your lips are lovely thinking about lickable but I sow your raves about YSL new lippies too. which once do you love more?

thin lips I mean, not think - I have so thin lips

I love Rouge Volupte way more. It has an AMAZING formula. A few people don't like it because it's so creamy, but I adore it.

OMG i love.. cream in your coffee shy girl spice is nice thank you for the swatches. i wasn't sure to get any more lipsticks after the hello kitty collection but after looking at these swatches, i'm swayed :] thank you!! <3 Krissy

No problem, Krissy! I'm happy to share 'em. :) Which ones swayed ya?

Rrrr :K I'm torn between Creme in Your Coffee and Shy Girl. It's like; Slightly Pale or Slightly Dark? It's so not fun because no matter which one I get, I will lie awake in bed night after night thinking; I should have got the other one. :/

AWW!! Both of these are being added to the permanent line, so at least you can always get the other later on ;P

Im very late..lol but would you say creme in your coffee is almost identical to cosmo...and which one do you recommend more? thank you! I am new to this site and love it!!!

They are similar but Cosmo is pinker.

Cream In Your Coffee kind of reminds me of Honeylove, does it seem the same to you?

Hmm, not really. Honeylove is more nude/beigey on me, I think... I can't remember if I own it or if I only tried it in-store eons ago.

Love it. Shy Girl is my favourite. I'm going to go broke with all the awesome MAC collections out right now.

MAC is such a money sucker :P

i really like how CIYC looks on you! i might have to try that on next time i go to MAC =) btw, what do u think looks better, shy girl or marquise d' from BBR? thanks a million christine!

I like Shy Girl - it shows up better on me :)

I love creme in your coffe and spice is nice, and im thinking about Hang Up. Is it a berry or a plum or a red, or what? Can it be sheered out with another color or is it dark and vampy beyond all hope?

It's a very dark berry-purple almost. It's definitely not red. It is VERY pigmented. You could try using a lip brush or applying and then blotting to make it less vampy :)

I was on the Mac Pro site earlier and saw the Lipmix and thought it might be useful to lighten Hang Up. Could you do a look where you mix Demi-red Lipmix with Hang Up? I think people want a dark red from Hang Up but get a dark berry, and demi-red will make it redder.

I don't have Demi-red Lipmix, sorry!

I have light beige skin with yellow undertones. Would Creme in Your Coffee and Shy Girl work on me?

Yes, I'd think both would work for you!

These colors are so pretty, Lickable is exceptionally great on your lips Christine =) I can't pull this color off thou.

Thanks, Christine! I think if I can do it, you can do it ;P

Will you be picking it up?

I am irrevocably in love with Hang Up, oh yes. This is the epitome of deep, dramatic lip colour. I believe I will have to dig up some of my monies and go out and buy it! :D

Yes, yes, I agree wholeheartedly--completely dramatic lip color! It is permanent, so you don't have to rush TOO much ;)

And thank goodness! MAC would be insane to make cremesheens LE. (Well, except for the lipglasses. And we all know why that is. -shakes fist-)

I want Lickable, Cream Cup, Lavender Whip and maybe Cream in Your Coffee. Wow these are super tempting!!
