MAC Cremeteam Cremesheen Lipsticks Lip Swatches
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
Crosswires
Lavender Whip
Hang Up
Shy Girl
Spice Is Nice
i love it allllll 🙂
What are you getting from Cremeteam, Shanel?
im love’n lickable & hang up that’s for sure.
Im torn between creme in your coffee & crosswires. which one do you think is better?!
Hang Up is sooo dark! I don’t think I will wear, LOL.
OMG, Shanel, they are SO different, how can I say which is better?! I love me a coralish shade, so you know I love Crosswires… Creme In Your Coffee has color, but yet it’s totally everyday.
They’re both permanent, so you could get one and save the other for later… 🙂
yay! is all lip sticks permanent? that’s great, im gonna splurge more on the glosses then!
but yeah, i think im gonna get the crosswires first then the other one.
thnnnnks christine 🙂
That’s what I heard! But a lot of people are saying Lavender Whip isn’t, but the rest are :/
oh & as for glasses, im thinkin’ about petite indulgence, looks like sin & melt in your mouth -all look sooo great 🙂
The lipsticks are $14, the Cremesheen glasses are $18, but some people have found them to be $17.50 in-store.
Petite Indulgence is nice! Looks Like Sin bleeds, so it’s not for me 🙁
what do u mean Looks like Sin bleeds?
It bleeds into lip lines or outside of your lips (if you have any wrinkles or not perfect skin around your lips).
I LOVE CIYC 🙂
Same!!
Awesome! Now, I have seen some colors that most would never find wearable, and I have loved them… but I have to ask, how can one wear Lavender Whip and NOT look undead??
Actually, I thought the same thing until I tried it on (at the counter) last night. It was BEAUTIFUL on! I have very light skin, dark hair and blue eyes and it just made my eyes pop and really brightened up my face. The funny this is that, once it’s been on for a while, you don’t see your reflection and think “purple”. I just looked brighter and more fresh. I’ll be picking this one up when the weather warms up, in the spring.
So happy to hear this, Lesley! I knew people could rock it!
I didn’t think Creme In Your Coffee would work on me at all! But I love it.
Wear it with pinks or berries — it’s one of those lipsticks that might be harder to pull off (though I think pale porcelain ladies will look fab in it), but it’s great for layering.
from the swatch, creme in your coffee really looks good with your skin!!!
damn it… i am SO TORN between lavender whip and fashion mews. lavender whip= more opaque, fashion mews= paler and is in hello kitty packaging… damn it i’m so tooorn
LOL, BOTH! 😉
Exactly ;D
Wait til the AM, Sara… I got a comparison post 😉
i love you christine <3<3<3
<33333
Lickable is gorgeous, but I don’t do bold lips often and thanks for the tip because I do find the l/s drying.
Same, I don’t do bold very often either. I’m too busy with bold eyes!
Thank you thank you thank you <3 🙂
No problem, Annika!
I think that Crosswires might be the only one I will get. And maybe Lickable if its not too bright on me.
Both are great colors! At least they’re perm, so you have some time to think about it.
FINALLY SOME COLOR! I hate sheerness. Lickable and Shy Girl looks gorgeous.
HAHA! Telllll me about it, Kayra.
wowwww i like …Lickable,Creme In Your Coffee,Spice Is Nice
Spice Is Nice is a little too brown for me, I think, but it’s a nice shade on its own.
i knoe all the lippies look great! better than the hello kitty collection..
For sure, Katrina 😀
I was not expecting to love this collection, for some reason I was expecting sheer washes of colour but I want them all! I’m definitely getting Hang Up & Spice is Nice. Lickable is a gorgeous colour but it looks pretty similar to Lustering so I don’t need it. I’ll still check it out to see how it compares though
The lipsticks are totally not sheer at all! Let me know which ones you end up taking home with you, Chica!
Creme in Your Coffee looks a lot like Hug Me to me
Really?! Hug Me is pale pink on me.
I recently tried Hug Me (I know this post is quite old)..and I found it was quite brown on me as well. I ended up with a lipglass instead because all the “nudes” (kinda sexy, cherish, jubilee hug me) were coming up so brown and dark. Maybe because of redness in lips?? i have olive/neutral warm, light to medium skin.
Have you tried Creme d’Nude?
Lickable and Hang up are very nice, but I don’t think I’ll be buying any of them.
These are perm, so you can always get them way later, too!
I bought too many lipsticks for one month already (a girl can never have too many,though)))
So I think I’d go for lickable.
How many did you buy in the month? 😉
5 ) but it was more like..an occasional madness,LOL ;))
I am going back to get Lickable. For the lipsticks I only got Lavender Whip!
YAY! You better rock Lickable tonight ;P
I got Lickable – love it so much! It looks gorgeous with Petite Indulgence over it – almost like the promo pic.
Ohh, pretty!!
These are gorgeoues Christine. I got Lavender Whip and Cream Cup. Those two worked best with my skin tone
How’s Lavender Whip? Lovin’ it?
it’s not like anything I have so already a favourite. LW and Up the Amp are the best MAC lipsticks
Spice is Nice really looks good on you Christine! Its a different color. I love purples, but Lavender Whip would look like death on me!
Thanks, Kristie! It is quite different for me; I don’t think I have anything like it, because I just don’t buy browns really!
I think I will try Creme Cup. Someone said, the color is similar to Angel but with a better finish. And I love my Angel l/s.
It is similar to Angel, but I like it better 🙂
A recently purchased Creme Cup and the texture is much better than Angel.
When I swatched my Creme Cup on my lips I thought I wear last years N3. Just a little darker and pinish. And it is just in the middle of Angel and N3. I just love it.
I definitely agree — it’s also more pigmented in a way, and I don’t have to use as much as I do with Angel!
Hi, Christine. Your application looks so nice and even here. What do you use underneath on your lips? Lip balm? Lip liner? Or are your lips just nicely defined naturally?
My lip line is not very clear, so I don’t think I could pull off bright lipstick without a liner or smth. For example, my MA didn’t let me buy Viva Glam I without buying a liner also. 🙂
Thanks, Myxa! LOL, I normally consider this sloppy application–mostly because I just go with it and I don’t worry about fixing it, since it’s mostly for swatch purposes.
Anyway, I usually wear lip balm before I apply lipsticks, then I blot it off by smooshing my lips against the back of my hand (otherwise it might interfere with the lipstick’s lasting power). My lips are relatively defined, so I don’t usually have to do much. My cupid’s bow could be more defined, so I might line or highlight that area with a shimmer product. 🙂
does anyone know how much these are? i bribed my fiance to go buy it for me since im sick, but i told him they are 14$. he’ll flip if they are much more.
Loving Crosswires. Thanks for the swatches, you rock.
Sure thing, Ally 🙂
DEF getting crosswires, maybe looks like sin from the creamglasses.
You will love Crosswires for sure, Kelly!
I want Lickable, Cream Cup, Lavender Whip and maybe Cream in Your Coffee. Wow these are super tempting!!
They are soo pretty, mostly because they’re actually opaque and do somethin’ for ya.
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! 😀
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-)
Lickable is so gorgeous
Will you be picking it up?
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
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!
Thanks 🙂
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!
Do you mean Red Lipmix http://www.macpro.com/templates/products/shade.tmpl?SKU_ID=SKU18600 or Demi-red Gloss http://www.macpro.com/templates/products/shade.tmpl?SKU_ID=SKU18708 ?
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 🙂
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 😛
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.
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.
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?
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.
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?
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 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 😛 That is a step in the right direction!!
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 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!
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 🙂
Where is my English today? I’ll probably…with full lips
I love your on-the-lips swatches – they are so helpful! I still really want Creme in Your Coffee and Spice is Nice! ^_^
Thanks, Natalie 😀
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 hope you like ’em!
I like all colors but lickable
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 Love the Lickable one
