The lipstick is called Tropical Mist and the Lip Pencil is called Naked. The lipstick is lovely, it's like a firmer, smoother gloss stick, no color, a little shine. Not gloppy. The liner is terrific. The kids at the MAC counter explained that you put it on the very edge of your lips, or even just outside, and voilà, end of "bleeding." I'm happy with both products, but you have to take into account that I live a very short walk from Bloomies and I don't know if I'd sit in traffic for hours for these. wellfedfredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07118802089389931227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2049514221380220929.post-35790231957584591732012-12-06T07:24:12.061-05:002012-12-06T07:24:12.061-05:00What is this colorless lipstick and liner from MAC...What is this colorless lipstick and liner from MAC?

None of us wanted it, and she has refused to dispose of it. In a reverse kind of way, I sympathize, my family is already discussing who'll get my mother's old colander when I go. As well they might, since I plant to spend everything else.<br /><br />Glad the "ode" gave you a chuckle. wellfedfredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07118802089389931227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2049514221380220929.post-80788115279475137742012-12-02T14:51:05.114-05:002012-12-02T14:51:05.114-05:00Hi, xoxo, while I've had a few "triumphal...Hi, xoxo, while I've had a few "triumphal" markdown experiences, I findthatinbalance the odds are against me.

I don't understand the draw myself. I've always been one who likes to pick up just a few good pieces each season and I get much pleasure from wearing them again the next year, and the year after that... If I do succumb to shopping heavily discounted items it is seldom a success, waste of my time and money.<br /><br />My lips have blue undertones naturally, which is why I couldn't wear an orangey lip color. I think it's good advice to try to mimic close to your own lip color, or better yet as you've done, accentuate your own.xoxohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12336645422459479330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2049514221380220929.post-17067760385225191812012-12-01T17:57:37.087-05:002012-12-01T17:57:37.087-05:00Broiled wool with hash!

That was when I concluded that my own lip color might be my best bet.Thanks again for the levity and recommendations you have brought to my day. Your story reminds me of the time last year when I was walking out the door with my younger(11-12 at the time) son and mentioned something along the lines that I was wearing a shirt/shoes/ coat? that I didn't really like. He looked at me in utter amazement and asked in a scolding and shocked manner why I would EVER spend my money on something I didn't really like.

The Carine Roitfeld for MAC lipstick mentioned in the post is <i>colorless.</i> So it works on your own lips to emphasize their natural color, but it doesn't add any color. The pencil liner is the color formerly known as "flesh" to those of us who grew up with Crayola crayons, and has a high wax content so it glides on very nicely. I tried both and bought them.wellfedfredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07118802089389931227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2049514221380220929.post-9228721407181076012012-12-01T13:11:32.361-05:002012-12-01T13:11:32.361-05:00WFF,

I am going to reread this post when I have more time.(Not now.)I am intrigued by your mention of MAC, because I am constantly in search of a flattering, natural looking lip color. ( Not bleeding into lines is always a plus!)Thank you!
