I love my lipconditioner. I use this daily. It feels very moisturizing and the smell is great, the color is also buildable. It lasts for ageees.The only downside is that it 'fades' very fast away. The jar is cute and easy to use but a tube would be more hygienic. Therefore i love to use this with my MAC 318 retractable lip brush

Oh, my MAC Fuchsia Fix, I can't praise you enough.
You are able to keep the promises your often overly scented and unpleasantly tingling stepsisters(Carmex and the like)can only make.
Only you are able to transform my lips, that often deliver the view of deep valleys shaped by glaciers, into even lowlands again.
Not wanting to forget mentioning your pleasant scent!
Even if I don't use you on a daily basis, say more like once a week, my lips remain in this perfect condition.
Thanks to you, I can use my deeply adored Amplified lipsticks again, without having to fear to be all lip shreds.
But you are so pretty even on your own! I like to compare you to Girl about Town, as you quite look alike.
I hereby pledge eternal faithfulness ;)

This is excellent. I had my eye for theses for a while, originally wanted it in the Petting Pink, but they ran out-so I settled with Fushia Fix-to my surprise-I love it, I use this daily, it takes two seconds to apply, I love the texture it's very smooth and the color looks fabulous. It's great for summer or spring and pair with any daytime look. It's true you can build this color up to a brighter more intense fushia. It's super pretty, I love it!

I love this! I use it loads, and have had it for years, it lasts ages.
Super moisturising & slightly glossy -I use it in the day to add a bit of colour and to protect & heal my lips, and in the evening instead of lipgloss, to look polished.
Lovely colour -looks pretty full on in the pot, but gives a gorgeous tint when on lips which brightens up my face; more colour than most the other of so-called tinted lip balms I've tried and more moisturising than most lip balms I've tried too.
My packaging is the old white pots (I really have had it for ages, and the consistency is still the same as ever) which weren't great -the white lid got a bit dirty and the colour printed in the top wore off, so it looks a bit scruffy when I pull it out of my handbag. That said, I've chucked it in allsorts of bags, taken it to the beach, dropped it, and it's still in one piece. The new black pots look much better, however. I'll definitely be investing in one when this runs out; at £11 it isn't the cheapest, but I've tried more expensive lip balms that don't perform as well.

I've also got it in petting pink -the colour is much more of a subtle pink, for a more neutral look.

This is fabulous! I got this today (with a shed load of other MAC items) but was initially looking at lipsticks. But no matter what, I cannot get on with lipsticks. So I spotted this little gem. In the pan it looks scarily pink, but on the lips it is a pretty pink colour which can be either used as a wash of colour or built up to a lovely rosy pink. It tastes just fabulous, and leaves your lips feeling so moistened. I do have to keep reapplying, but I wouldn't expect anything else to be honest. The only thing I hate is the packaging. Yes, it looks beautiful and shows the product off in all its glory, but I so wish you had the option to buy it in a tube form - much more convenient and hygienic than sticking your finger in it. I also think that putting it in a tube rather than a plastic jar would bring the price down too, as I think paying £11 for a lip balm is a bit much. But then its still cheaper than paying for a lipstick that I don't get any enjoyment or use out of.

I love it so much I might go back and get another colour. I find these suit me down to the ground, as I like to have strong eyes, but less intense lips.

Oh, and the added SPF 15 is a huge bonus too :o)

I'm using this after quite some time of NOT using it and I'm using it as a lipgloss/balm. It being a tinted lip conditioner, however, there are quite a few touch-ups that have to be made only because it simply fades away. The nice scent still holds up but it's got a waxy taste so I do my best not to lick my lips so much - and it conditioning them means I don't really have to. It's an okay product for what I need it for, but I won't repurchase because I can definitely find a similar product for a lot less money.

I own this and I have to say its an excellent lip balm/moisturiser. I LOVE how you can either build up or play down the colour on your lips. Best lip conditioner I have ever come across.
I used to use the red vaseline but it always left a white(ish) residue on my lips and I didn't find any moisturisation from it, and I find that MAC's lip conditioner gives the same residue but less of it and only on contact with water - which is why I have only give 4 as an overall rating.
Overall, I think its worth every penny. Paraben free :D

This is my favourite lip balm and I have tried tonns of other brands. When I have this on my lips I definitely feel like this is some high end stuff. The look and feel of it on the lips is just so different from other lip balms. I do agree that the price is on the higher side but you also get a lot of product so the product is worth every penny. My only complain about the product is the packaging. I wish it came in a tube instead of a jar. So, I don't have to worry about dipping my fingers in the jar when I am outdoors. I want to try other colors but I don't see myself running out of this anytime soon. This is on my list of items to purchase at duty free so I can save few bucks.

i think this is the best lip conditioner ive ever had!!!!! it makes my lips look full and luscious! the color is also perfect because it makes my lip looks natural. it smells good too, my friends told me that my lips look gorgeous :D i think the price is worth the amount of the lip because i dont need to take too much of it. its alsmost 2 months now and its only say 1/6 thats already gone (and thats not much). the color may not stay soo long but the moist feeling lasts long except if i drink or basically touches something with my lips (but i think any lip conditioner is like that, if not it wud be lipstick). package also isnt so bad, i wish it was a stick or tube. but overal LOVE LOVE LOVE and wud DEFINITELY buy it again

I love this and every other TLCs! I wish they can bring all of them back as permanents~and I'll buy 200 of each! That's how much I love this. I really LOVE the package, since I always apply everything with a lipbrush anyway. I also like to melt my balms into shape and this is microwave-safe! I absolutely adore the scent of this lipbalm, and I find it is very good value for money since one little tub can last me easily over a year!

Overall, this is a pretty good product. I love the color and the finish. This has pretty good moisturizing properties, but not great. I still like it and would definitely repurchase.

I'm not really feeling the lip conditioner. It doesn't actually do the job. Even when I exfoliate my lips this conditioner only keeps my lips moist for about an hour at the most. I do like to wear it under lipstick and depending on the lipstick shade it even softens the look of the lipstick. I like that. However I don't like wearing it alone. It's too pricey for the results that it gives. I'm not going to rebuy. I'm using this until it's empty so I can back to Mac it.

I really like the MAC Tinted Lip Conditioners line. When I swapped for this one, I thought it would be no exception. Many people said that the Petting Pink color was too sheer. However, the color on this is WAY too fuchsia for me. I do have lightly pigmented lips and thought it would show up sheerly. But on me, this was too bright. The feel is very creamy and it has a warm vanilla scent to it. I thought I would like it so much, that I bought a backup too! This color was quite the disappointment. When purchasing these, I recommend to be careful about which color you get. These are pretty pricey at about $14.50 U.S. dollars. In terms of moisturization, for MAC fans, this is probably a win. But for others, this is mediocre at best. (at least for me) If you are looking for a more natural pink, this is probably not for you.

It does smell great, and gives off a nice little hint of color to liven up your face and moisturises, I just think for the price there must be products which are just as good for less. But for diehard MAC fans, I'm sure they will love this anyway.

I love MAC Tinted Lip Conditioners. They are so conditioning and moisturizing. Very very very few things in the world are capable of moisturizing my lips. I have the driest lips in the world. I had it in the colour Petting Pink and I loved it so much, the only thing I didn't like that much was the colour because it was a bit dark and too close to my natural lip colour. So I got the fuchsia one. It has a great taste too, I find that it tastes like toffee candy. As for the complaint that it's very expensive for what it is, well I've tried just about every cheap lip balm that exists, Chapstick, Labello (Nivea I think in the States), Bonne Bell, Yves Rocher, some cheap local brands, Volumax etc. etc. and NOTHING cuts it for me. They're all like putting just water onto my lips. Well Carmex was reasonably good but I found it sticky and a bitter taste. I recently tried out a new lip balm from the pharmacy and it cost 6€ and within a couple of months it was gone. MAC TLC on the other hand literally lasts me for years, I bought the Petting Pink one about 2 years ago and use it frequently and it still looks barely used. I just got the Fuchsia one last week and I use it every day and it looks like I haven't touched it yet. And it actually moisturizes my lips. So I think it is worth it.

I really love this lip conditioner! It is a sheer fuchsia color, I have received many compliments from people while wearing this. I line my lips with a nude lip pencil before putting this on and my lips look very plump! I love pots as packaging for lip products as I feel it gives you more control on the amount you need, especially MAC ones!

I really like this. It is very moisturising and it smells and tastes delicious. It's quite sheer and leaves a lovely pink girly shine on my lips. It looks quite natural on me and I love it for that reason because I can't stand anything that looks unnatural on my lips.

It doesn't last through eating.

The packaging is a shallow round little tub with a black lid and the MAC logo is printed on the side of the jar. I like that when I use it, it's not so creamy that my finger sinks right into it because I don't want to dip my nails in there by accident.

I wasn't even out to buy this, I stumbled upon it by accident and once I saw how pretty it was I had to have it! I would definitely recommend.

I got this 2 weeks ago and I have been using it everyday, I love it. I looks PINK in the pot but on my lips it is very natural and gives my lips an extra glow. when applied heavy it is a nice'pink that looks like a lipgloss. I love the brightness this can bring to my lips. It is a lip conditioner so it makes my lips smooth and soft and makes them nice and pink (I don't like vaseline as it makes my lips look greasy).

I put this on in the morning and it lasts a good 3hours (without eating, it does survive drinking).

I love this although €15 is expensive for a lipbalm but I got this as a b'day present and I am loving it. Def. going to repurchase this when it runs out but looking at the dent I made in it since I got it I don't think it will run out any time soon. Going to have a look at the other colours

If you are looking for a tinted lipbalm with staying power and don't mind forking out a small fortune then this is the one for you. The pot is unhygienic but if you make sure your hands are clean it isn't a big problem.

Edited 12 feb 2011:
I do find that it can get soft which results in me ending up with to much product on my finger (and if I am unlucky under my nail) hence minus 1 lippie
13 feb 2011: To test how long a l/g or l/s stays on I have invented a new little test. I have a good 15 min cycle to the train station every morning. Usually it is always windy (in summer and winter). If the l/g is still perfect when I get there it has past the lastability test imo ------->>>YES this has past the test - it stays on perfect and doesn't dry up at all (but as this is a TLC I had expected it to stay on, if not it wouldn't be much good as a TLC)

I have a bunch of the TLCs, and love Fuschia Fix just like the rest. It's long lasting, both on and in the pot, and the color is a great hint, so that even if you mess up on the go, you won't look nuts with a streak of color across your cheek. The pot is unsanitary, but it's worth it.

Color: reddish pink
Pros: long-lasting, SPF, not sticky
Cons: didn't like the color, not very moisturizing (but not drying either), pricey

Usually, I prefer pigmented lip colors...but not this one. I actually hoped that this would be more sheer, but this is a very pigmented reddish pink. I was hoping it would be more pink, but it looked much more red on my lips. I also expected it to offer more moisture. Definitely not worth the price, although you do get a lot of product.

Will not repurchase.
