MAC Too Fabulous Lip Liner Swatches

MAC came out with another limited edition collection that came out a week ago called Too Fabulous. It features Mineralized Blushes, Cremesheen glasses and lip liners. There are a couple of Cremesheen glasses that I'd like to pick up, though it's nice to know I can wait a bit on those since they're permanent. The lip liners were what most caught my eye. I picked up 3 of them.


Naked Liner, In Synch, Trimmed in Pink

I went to a Bay counter the day after this collection launched, and these 3 were already sold out. The MA told me that they only got a few of each colour. I was able to get them at a MAC store nearby. To me, these apply creamier than other lip liners I've purchased from MAC.

Naked Liner - A totally nude colour that erases any colour from your lips, almost as if you had applied concealer to them. It will work great if you're going for a nude lip obviously, but also if you wanted to blank out your lip colour and intensify and bring out the true hue of any lip product you want.

In Synch - A milky pale pink. I seem to have many lipsticks and lipglosses that are of similar colour, so this will come in handy. I'd love to pair this with Fashion Scoop cremesheen glass.

Trimmed in Pink - This will go well with brighter pinks. I think it would go brilliantly with Loud and Lovely cremesheen glass, which I will be picking up at some point.

The mineralized blushes don't really interest me. I'm looking forward to getting a couple of the Cremesheen glasses, but will perhaps wait to trade in some empties for them. It's been overwhelming the number of limited edition collections MAC has been putting out lately, I'm trying to be pickier about what I purchase!

Did you pick up anything from this collection?

  10. @Rica - I hope you ended up being able to get what you wanted, these colours seem to be sold out in a lot of places! And thanks for tagging me! :)

    @Lavinia - You should still go check it out in person, you may like it!

    @Karrie - It's funny we bought the same colours, I just saw your post too. I may go back for Boldly Bare as well.

    @LipGlossGossip - Hopefully you were able to get the liners you wanted, they seem to be going like hotcakes here!

    @Marce - It's a nice collection, I want to go back and get a couple of Cremesheens at some point too. :)

    @Mariana - In Synch is close but not an exact match for Gaga. I think they'd go well together though. Hurry up and get it if you're going to!

    @Farah - I love the nude liner too, I'm almost tempted to get a back up and I never do that anymore!

    @Sara - Yeah, I can't believe how fast these sold out! Naked is great, too bad you missed In Synch though!

  11. Thanks for the reviews...sometimes the nude colors are also a handy doing the base for another darker shade...it adds depth to the lip.Nice pink shade also...MAC is the best.
