LOVE this color! Of course it's only available on Ebay now since it was an LE :( WHY does MAC always make the best colors limited editions??? Seriously, idgi. Anyway, I can see this color working on most skin tones. It's a beautiful, light corally pink color with some shimmer. Would buy again!

I really like this shade. My only complaint is that it feels like too much shimmer.

*PIC* I'm not that crazy about peachy lippies, ( i prefer pinks) but this is one of the peachy ones i really like. Smooth, creamy texture,(even though i always use a lipbalm) and a very flattering shade. I think this looks good with smokey eyes, or in general when the emphasis is on the eyes, or otherwise with a tan.
I use it with Mac's creamkiss lipliner which is awesome. And if you like peachy lippies, Christian Dior's Diorific Lipstick in Nakedly Pink is also a beautiful choice!
( i wish i had applied it much better here, but i had been swatching a bunch of lippies on my lips today, so i was getting pretty lazy :)

So, if you thought you had found your HG peach l/s it's because you haven't tried Charm Factor yet! I thought Chanel Aqualumière in Santa Monica was the one but i prefer CF over it.
Definetely a peach with a golden trace, creamy texture, perfect!
Would get a back up if it wasn't LE: i feel lucky enough as it is for having scored this one in a swap!

The PERFECT peach on me. This is HG material. It's sad MAC had to make this LE! I love this so much, i got a backup - wasn't easy but was well worth it :) This is a lustre but feels more like frost to me. At first, when i got this, I didn't like how frosty it turned on me. Then i tried again, this time my lips were not chapped as before, and i ♥ it. And then the love story flourished, i used this almost everyday at one point of my life. Then i started to worry, i shouldn't be *using* it too much. I'll lose it. So i am conserving this for special days. MAC, please make this and strawberry blonde lipsticks permanent. :P
For reference, I'm a GGG NC40ish.

I bought this shade last year when it first came out with the Muse makeup line. I enjoyed the colour for the spring and summer months, but I do find it's not the best shade for my skin. The only reason I took a lippy off was because I found it to have a bit of a gritty texture, which I suppose is due to the shimmer in the lipstick. I found it a bit drying on my lips. Overall, a very cute shade with serious potential. With the right colouring, it looks beautiful.

Peachy shade with a hint of pink to give it depth. Slightly frosty, enough to show, but not overpowering. Luckily no gritty texture like some frosts! Great Spring & Summer color, and I can see wearing this year round w/ a smokey eye. Very nice!

This color is really gorgeous! I've heard raves on the board for this lipstick and I finally bought it before the MAC site took it off (it's LE). It's a pretty corally pink that brings color to my face. In the tube, it does look a bit common, but sometimes it's just that gradation of color that makes the difference between common and a rare find.

I was hearing that this lipstick was a great peachy shade and perfect for warm toned girls like me, but unfortunately it wasn't the shade I expected. It's a warm shade but not so peachy as a I wanted, because the too much shimmers cover the shade, I mean it's too frosty that if I'm not careful when i apply it I can look like a space woman! And too much shimmers are not good when you have dry lips like mine, because the shimmers stick on the dry parts and you can look like dead.

I had been lemming this for awhile and I finally swapped for it! This is a beautiful light/nude peachy pink (mostly peach) and has gold shimmers that are very noticeable in a good way. This shade one of my most versatile lippies. Applies on me exactly the way it looks in the tube and if I could, I would definitely buy this again! Only one lippie off because I hate lustres. Yeah I'm a party pooper!

Pretty color - a sheer golden peach with gold shimmer - I wish it packed a little more color as my lips are so pigmented. Still, it's a beautiful color, and looks really pretty paired with Enchantress l/g. It's LE, so grab one now while you can!

I bought two of these at the tail-end of A Muse (late August). I don't know how I passed this by the first time I saw it but I had B2Ms to spend and no lipstick lemmings. The MA made me try this on when I was looking for a peachy, shimmery nude - this is exactly what I was looking for. It's a sheer peach with shimmer and looks amazing with a tan (I'm NC40 - GGG.) The texture is very soft and moist, like most lustres, and it fades very naturally. My only regret is not buying this sooner since summer is nearly over.

I am definitely in the minority on this one but I *HATED* charm factor ! I used it 1x and got rid of it IMMEDIATELY. The texture wasn't the usual lusture texture that I usually love and am used to. It was thicker and much more opaque-ish. The color was all wrong for me too and went on WAY too cool toned for me.....it showed as a bright PINK ....not coral at all but a very creamy bright PINK lipstick that makes me think of something my grandma would wear....( and just to clarify, I AM talking about charm factor and not Lip 65).

I'm almost mad I found out about this shade because I like it so much that I want another one! It's a gorgeous peachy shade with gold shimmer (lustre formula - my favourite!) I'm about to call stores and ask if they have any left in stock.....

Oh no, I want a backup. I hate when this happens because I don't always use backups!
It's such a beautiful peachy colour, but sheer so it doesn't make me look like I went mad with a peach coloured crayon.

I think I've found my new favorite lipstick! On me, this shows up as a gorgeous juicy nude peach with a hint of pink shade. It has a very *slight* frost to it; so slight I don't know if you could even consider it a frost. But whatever it is, it really brings out the peachy color of the lipstick. When I saw it in the tube, I was disappointed by how pink it looked. Tons of lipsticks and glosses that are *supposed* to be peachy end up turning a pink color on me due to my naturally very pigmented lips, so after seeing that, I was sure this one would too. But it totally didn't! I'm very disappointed that it's LE, but I'm getting used to that from MAC. I will definitely be buying a back-up of this one!

Warmer & peachier than Pink Cabana...for my coloring, I like this one better than PC. All in all a beautiful l/s that goes on smoothly and lasts for hours.

I just picked this lippie up today after reading rave reviews and I must agree this is a beautiful lipstick! It is a bit paler, and has more peachy tones than Pink Cabana (which is a HG for me). I love it, and would definately repurchase! Works well on my pigmented lips and NW20 complexion :)
