MAC TSV...YES!

What a great deal!!! The Primer for Lip is worth its weight in gold to smoothe the lips, keep lipstick in place and no feathering into lines.

The shades of lipsticks and liners are definitely universal. The price is much less than I can purchase the individal items.

Yes, I ordered the TSV.

...If you have difficulty with lipstick staying on even under a mask, try these.

@Shanus ENJOY your purchase. These shades are definitely a little too nude/muted and would look awful on me. I don't use a lip primer. I'll often use a pencil and bring the color into the lip with a balm. I could probably use the pencils, but not the rest of the set. Have fun... I'm sure you'll enjoy experimenting with what you get. Let us know how you like it.

Edited to correct a spelling error!!!! I hate that!

@nyc1 Thanks, I will enjoy these shades. If a shade is too light, I use a darker pencil and fill in my lips instead of just lining. I also like to do ombre look where I fill in the outer lip with a darker pencil andlighter lipstick in the the centermfor a plump lip look.

I've used these shades of pencils and lipsticks before and they're quite flattering on me.

@nyc1 My posts are mostly edited for spelling, not content. I type faster than I think. 😂

@Shanus I am glad you weighed in....I thought of giving you a shout out to weigh in when I saw this TSV as I know you are a Mac fan. I love these nude/pink/brown shades and I've never used a pencil before. You've endorsed it....I'm buying. Looks like we have a winner in this TSV.

I say enjoy it, too! @Shanus

But for me, an easy pass. I do not need the primer, I do not like MAC lip liners, and I would rather handpick my own shades. I do like MAC lipsticks, though.

Yes, MAC is owned by Lauder and may the saving grace of the company.

When I was recently in DC, I was at the Bobbi Brown counter at NM which has been diminished to about a three foot space instead of the much larger area it was before. The rep said they think it will be removed from their stores completely...many items are not being replenished.

Lauder killed the BB line.

@phoenixbrd I always try to use pencils (lip and eye) that can be sharpened. They are more sanitary than ones you use in these areas that roll up/down and stay inside where bacteria can develope.
