Yesterday, MAC’s latest collection, Cremesheen + Pearl went on to counters.
The collection is inspired by Asian shades:
A shimmering twist on an instant classic. cremesheen Lipstick and cremesheen Glass get infused with crushed pearl in 15 new Asian-inspired shades. modern pinks, nudes and corals pop and glow against all skin tones with a light-reflecting finish that leaves lips luminously and decidedly lacquered. With foolproof coverage, gleaming shine and creamy gloss, this smooth and seductive update to cremesheen is Double happiness for your lips.
I’m not sure how “asian” this collection really is… but the colours are super pretty and wearable by anyone.
There is a set of lipsticks and Cremesheen glosses. All the colours in the collection are sheer and almost neutrals. Though the description of all the colours says that they’re frosted, actually they’re more of a modern pearl finish adding luster and light to the lips.
The lipstick colours are:
Japanese maple Frosted light beige
Pure Zen Frosted warm nude
Peach Blossom Frosted cool nude
shanghai spice Frosted neutral pink
sunny seoul Frosted light warm pink
Pink Pearl Pop Frosted mid-tone pink
coral Bliss Frosted light coral
saigon summer Frosted bright orange
$14.50 U.S./$17.50 CDN
All the colours are on the sheer side, except for Saigon Summer and Coral Bliss which actually wears more like a hot pink. Peach Blossom and Shanghai Spice are the two colours that I picked up, and Peach Blossom is actually more of a sheer nude pink rather than a peach as the name might suggest.
Cremesheen Glass colours are:
Paper Lantern Frosted soft warm pink
Double happiness Frosted light nude
Dynasty at Dusk Frosted neutral pink
Imperial Light Frosted light peach
Pagoda Frosted cool pink
Floating Lotus Frosted soft rose
rising sun Frosted bright orange
$19.50 U.S./$22.50 CDN
Pick them up at your local MAC counter.
