I LOVE Hoop on you! It looks like pink, fluffy, heeled slippers! There are a number of warm pinks that I adore and would even wear myself for fun but on my uber cool skin I look sick when I do. Not sick’ning… just ill. LOL! Still so pretty tho! Do you have colors you love but don’t like the way they look when you have them on?

As always, everything looks lovely on you! These are definitely quite tempting and I’ll have to make sure to go check them out 🙂

I’m so disappointed that these are always online only collections! Stuff online always sells out so fast and majority of us don’t get the oppertunity to pick anything up!

Hi Christine , was wondering if the prices of mac lipsticks went up since I saw them online for $16.00 now … Not these but permanent ones. I also went into a mac counter to return some back 2 mac and my receipt said i saved $16.00. Anyways hoop and pink poodle look tempting to buy.

Yay! Thanks for the clarification, I really don’t like MACs “frost” finish so I’m excited about this one being a glaze!! ☺️

Veronica Avatar

I know… Bummer.

Alibi would be a perfect release. They discontinued it a long time ago, and it was one of the most perfect colors MAC ever came up with, even if the finish was a satin and a little drying.

I still wish they release it someday.

When will this collection be available to purchase in the UK? I can never seem to keep up with the collections but I NEED to get my hands on hoop and I dont want to miss out!
Great review/swatches as always x

If they truly wanted a 90’s comeback, they should have marked these with 90’s prices haha!
I love the first two, but i already own both Ronnie red and Betty bright so it’s a pass for me

I got Hoop and Pink Poodle. Hard to tell if I will like them on me, I prefer to try them on in the store, but your swatches and review were really helpful. Thank you!

I ordered Hoop and Glam, and I have very high hopes for Hoop! I’m quite surprised they haven’t sold out yet (about 3:30pm EST)! I Love Hoop on you, Christine! <3

Got my pink poodle yesterday and love it, I love the formula, it’s moisturizing and the color is very vivid and bright on my nc40 skin tone. though I wasn’t feeling god yesterday and I was stuck at home, I decided to wear it all day which brightened up my spirit. 🙂
