Girls, can we talk for a sec about how MAC handles color? The line has a rep for bright, bold makeup, but every so often they’ll come out with a collection that kinda throws me for a loop.
Right now that collection’s Too Fabulous, with its darker Mineralized Blush colors, and delicately colored Lip Pencils ($13) and Cremesheen Glasses ($18).
Cremesheen Glasses in Partial to Pink, Just Superb, Loud & Lovely, Boy Bait, Fashion Scoop
Cremesheen Glasses in Double Dare, Deelight, Richer Lusher, Over Indulgence
The creamy Cremesheen Glasses sure do shine and remind me of melting ice cream (*tummy rumbles*). I dig the mix of pinks, corals and browns — soft, wearable and fabulous (ha!) for daytime.
Um… what’s a Cremesheen Glass?
It’s like a MAC Lipglass only thinner, sheerer and creamier. All nine of this batch (some of them have appeared in previous releases) are now part of MAC’s permanent line.
Lip Pencils in Boldly Bare, Chestnut, In Synch, Mouth Off, Naked Liner, Trimmed in Pink
I think the colors of these Cremesheen’s nicely complement the Lip Pencils here. MAC did a faboo job with a batch of everyday colors for a wide range of skin tones. If you have darker skin, take a gander at Chestnut, a creamy brown. I’m liking the way it looks on brown babes. And Paler princesses, check out Naked Liner, an uber-light and creamy neutral that almost looks like a concealer.

Double Dare, Deelight, Richer Lusher, Over Indulgence
This afternoon I fell (ha! literally) for three of the (six) Lip Pencils — Mouth Off, Trimmed in Pink and Boldly Bare — but passed on the Cremesheen Glasses. Since MAC made ’em permanent fixtures, I figure I have some time to decide.
So how was your Thursday? What was the highlight of your day? Mine was the drive I took through my old neighborhood in Mill Valley. Someone lives in my old apartment now, aww… I hope they like it.
I also picked up a couple of mini-cupcakes that I’m saving for desert. 🙂
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
I LOVE the look of that promo image, but I am really sad that I can’t pull off pale lips like that! Whenever I wear stuff paler than my skintone, I just end up looking a little sick. I do really want Loud & Lovely and Double Dare though, those look LOVELY.

Yeah, some of the Cremesheens are really pretty! I wore one today that I got last year — Petite Indulgence. 🙂
Ooh which lip pencils did you pick up! I am eyeing Boldly Bare, In Synch, and Naked Liner.
.-= Kajal Couture’s last blog post… Wedding Adventures Post #2: Looking Your Best On Your Big Day! =-.
I got Trimmed in Pink, Mouth Off and Boldly Bare. 🙂
Naked Liner is really pale. REALLY!
Too funny! I literally just went to MAC and one of the items I picked up was the Boy Bait lipglass!
How funny! Are you liking it?
I’ve actually fallen in love. This is the first MAC lipglass that I’ve purchased (don’t hate me!) so I’m digging the consistency! Plus I don’t like how pigmented my lips look when they’re irritated, so I looooove me some nude gloss.
I love the lip looks in that promo image! yummay what flavor cupcakes were they?
.-= Makeupmorsels’s last blog post… EOTD: Toblerone =-.
I got a variety of flavors — lemon, carrot cake, red velvet and chocolate. They were bite sized and so teeny-tiny!
Le sigh…. that’s all I have to say about this collection.
Did you get nostalgic going by MV?
.-= marisol’s last blog post… Beauty makes people come together =-.
🙂 Even though you’re on no buy you can still go and play!
I did get a little nostalgic. For the first time in many months it didn’t feel like home, which was weird. I guess I’m finally settling into Novato.
BTW, don’t you have work off today?
I get nostalgic from time to time when I am near the apartments where I grew up in Novato especially when I see all the changes.
Yup so happy to have the day off. Although I woke up at the same time as if I had gotten up to work.
.-= Marisol’s last blog post… Beauty makes people come together =-.
Oh, I know! Even though I haven’t been gone for long, I noticed a few big changes ’round the old neighborhood. I think what I miss most is the activity. I lived near Strawberry Village, so there was always stuff going on — people walking or biking by, kids playing, families shopping. Where I am now is a bit more quiet, which is nice, but I miss being able to walk across the street and have my pick of cafes, ya know?
Is there a face chart for this? I’m dying to know the lip color on the promo pic!
Hi Jenn,
I checked the MAC site and so far, no dice. 🙁
Ooh nice colours…may have to add some of these to the kit as my bridal clients would gobble these up completely!
.-= Cassandra Rae Ferguson’s last blog post… Cassandra Rae Ferguson – Professional Makeup Artist Sydney =-.
They are very bridal colors, for sure. The only thing is the wear time isn’t all that great for the Cremesheen Glasses… I feel like I have to apply them at least every hour or so.
I can’t wait to get some goodies from this collection today!
.-= SoVeryFabulous’s last blog post… 5 February Favorites =-.
What do you have your eye on?
do you by any chance know what color they’re wearing in the promo pic? looks like it might be partial to pink..
I think it could be Partial to Pink, Just Superb or Boy Bait… it’s gotta be layered over something — maybe In Synch?
The promo pix looks nice but that’s just another collection I’m gonna skip. I think the colors look pretty but nothing is a must-have for me.

I know you love your brights, Gio!
Ohh, I think I need the creemsheen in overindulgence! I’m not a big fan of lip pencils.
Oh really? Do you find them too drying?
I do find them drying and my lips tend to get gunky if I use them – so not pretty.
Love them all!
Oh my oh my, I am in trouble ….
LOL, I know that feeling.
What are you thinking ’bout picking up?
So far im liking Loud and Lovely and Over Iindulgence.
Part of me wants to get Boy Bait because the name is sooo sassyyyyy !!! 😀
hey karen, how do you think loud and lovely compares to creme anglaise from the previous cremesheen collection? i’m trying to talk myself out of it, ha!
Hi Sara,
Loud & Lovely is a cooler, bluish pink. I have a swatch of Creme Anglaise from last year’s release, you can see it here:

I love all the lip pencils, oh my!
Oh, me too! Will you be picking any up?
I got Richer, Lusher – I love it! I want to go back for the Trimmed in Pink pencil and perhaps another Cremesheen in one of the pink shades…I’ll be at the Pro store tomorrow.
Fun! I just put Trimmed in Pink on… yes, I’m still in my jammies.
i love giving myself a makeover while I’m still in jammies or sweats!
I picked up Richer, Lusher yesterday (a perfect peach to wear over pink lippies for the orange-shy), and will probably eventually go back for Double Dare! Pity they didn’t add Petite Indulgence to the the lot, it was my favorite Cremesheen!
agreed – i’m wearing mine on top of Viva Cyndi – I like the effect!
Ooh, sounds pretty! 🙂
Ooh, I think the Boldly Bare pencil would match my natural lip color nicely! As for the glosses, I’m most interested in Double Dare and maybe one of the paler ones as well… Just Superb, perhaps?
Yum, cupcakes…though I don’t like the mini part, LOL! I’m loving In Synch and Naked Liner, they’re pretty! No Cremesheen glasses for me, I find them too expensive for what they are!
.-= Marce’s last blog post… Look – Through the Looking Glass =-.
Are they going to make these pencils perm?
I’ll have to check on that! Let me ask my friend who works at the MAC counter. 🙂
ZOMG–I’m totally relieved that these are a permanent addition… at least this way, I’ll be able to buy them in the US or Tax-free when I travel, instead of in the Norwegian department stores (which make prices 2.5-3.5 times higher than in the US)… =/
Wow…I bought six of the cremesheens yesterday-I didn’t have any, and four I considered must-have, but I splurged on the extra two because the SA told me all were LE, only Boy Bait was a perm shade.
love this collection! Picked up Boy Bait, Fashion Scoop, In Synch, and Naked Liner. Will deff be back for Buddy Up blush and a few more liners. LOVE LOVE. Thanks for the pics! Are the liners going to be permanent??
I got to see this yesterday, and only ended up with 2 of the mineralized blushes! I really wanted to love Naked Liner, but it just looked sooo pale on me (or maybe I put too much?.) so I didn’t get that one. The hot pink liner looks great too but I still have a lot of my Pink Treat liner left! 🙂 I wanted to get Loud and Lovely (hot pink cremesheen glass) but its perm so I can wait before I get it 🙂
THe mineralized blushes are gorgeous though!! xx
.-= Princesa Livia’s last blog post… MAC Rhapsody in Two, Two Virtues & Thoughts on Spring Colour Forecast & Too Fabulous Collections! ♥ =-.
I like this collection more than Liberty of London. Perhaps I’m being practical with my makeup choices, I don’t know 😉 I got two Naked Liners, I thought it would go perfect for creating a sharper lip line. I didn’t get In Sync liner, but I probably will do so soon along with Rhapsody in Two and maybe Two Virtues. I will pick up some cremesheen glass once I actually finish some of the glosses I have since they’re permanent.
.-= Christy’s last blog post… NOTD: Sephora by OPI I’m With Brad Nail Polish =-.
Do you think MouthOff is a good liner for VegasVolt? I just ordered Summerfruit online since the MAC Chat Rep said that would be the closest match but with this new color I’m wondering if I’ll have to do an exchange…. 🙁
i got loud and lovely. ironic that it wasn’t one of the two i had come for: overindulgence and double dare. it just stuck out to me.
OM MY GOD – the loud and lovely gloss looks AMAZING!

I am soooo in love with partial to pink !!!!!!…….cant wait to go get it …..looks like a trip to the MAC counter is in my near future !LOL
