Heatherette Lollipop Loving & Sock Hop = Love
The standout lippies from MAC’s Heatherette collection are the beautiful fuschias of Hollywood Nights lipstick and Style Minx lipglass, and the coral shades in Lollipop Loving and Sock Hop.
But, from the moment I applied Lollipop Loving on my pucker, I just knew it was something special. I’d never been a die-hard lover of corals, but these lippies were enough to convert me. This is officially my new favorite lip combo for the season!
Lollipop Loving is a mid-tone coral with green flecks of iridescence in MAC’s glaze formula. As a stand alone lip color, you can really catch the green-gold shimmers in it. I like to wear lipstick and lipglass combos together for the most part since the color lasts longer and I just really love gloss.
Here, I wore Sock Hop, a shimmerless mid-tone coral cream over Lollipop Loving, which took away some of the iridescence. Next time, I think I’ll try wearing the lipglass underneath to see what kind of look I get.
For this simple, fresh-faced FOTD, I gave myself a light bronze eye, used Fafi Hipness blush, and my new favorite coral lippie to run errands over the weekend. Trust me, I’m going to sing the praises of this combination for a while!
Is there anything from Heatherette you’re absolutely in love with? Or are you waiting for the next MAC release? Check out MakeupFIX to see what’s coming up next!

Fresh-Faced indeed! I love it… you look beautiful. Oh that lip combo is gorg. I think I should just follow my first judgment on it and get it. I got intimidated. It would be my first MAC lipstick/glass so I hesitated, hah.

Oh, and thank you for the link love. *yells* “Kids, go to sleep. Mommy has some blogging to do!”
… Now why can’t it be that easy, LOL!

Hiya Brittany,
I dunno what you’re talkin’ about - I love the combo on you!! It’s really nice and subtle for those days when you’re too lazy to try - like I was
Hope you had a great Easter!

Hi Kia,
If you like hot pinks, you’ll really like Style Minx. I was so-so on the others since I have similar colors. Did you get anything else from Heatherette??

Hi Mrs. Lynne,
You’d better hurry back to the MAC counter to scoop up those lippies. It’s selling out so fast! I guess I didn’t realize because I got all my Fafi right when the store opened - LOL!
I wish I could blink and my blog posts would be done too! I can only imagine what you go through with the kids in tow on top of everything. Props girl!!

Wow, you look so pretty! I wanted to pass over this collection but after all the great reviews of the lippies, I don’t think I can resist…

Don’t pass on the lippies, beautytalk! I personally love the combo. It’s a great on-the-go color

OOH! Love it Lilan! I think I might have to go back and get “Sockhop”.
I ended up getting Fleshpot, Melrose Mood, Bonus Beat, and Starlet Kiss.
I miss you Lilan! Feels good to be back from NY in more of MY climate, lol!
On March 24th, 2008 Lilan said:
Hi Vanessa,
I missed you too! It’s always nice to come home after you’ve been away for a while
And we’re glad to have you back!
Fleshpot looks really nice on you, but I couldn’t get over how cute Lollipop Loving is. Can’t wait to see your FOTDs!

WOW! Yeah that’s the show im attending! Ad-Tech San Fran at the Moscone Center will you be there as well!??? That would be awesome we should definitely meet and take a pic! I think we are leaving right after the show so it sucks I won’t be there too long but I really hope I can squeeze some time and make it to the PRO store….

Sock Hop looks like the perfect color. It’s subtle and not overpowing and can probably be combined to calm down more vibrant color.
I am going to have to buy some for myself!
On March 24th, 2008 Lilan said:
Hey Vanessa,
We should definitely head out for some makeup shopping if you can squeeze it in!!
On March 24th, 2008 Lilan said:
Hi Leeann,
Sock Hop really is a nice, subtle color for me. I normally wear lots of pinks but this is just too lovely! I’m going to try some more combos this week to see what I come up with!
Have you gotten anything from Heatherette??
Hope you’re having a great Monday!

Dagnabbit, now I need to re-investigate this one. GRRR.
On March 24th, 2008 Lilan said:
Hey Jen,
This combo is one that I’m truly lovin’ - I hope you give it a chance!
Did you end up with anything? Hopefully something from Heatherette inspired you. I definitely got sucked in with the packaging

damn…now i have to go back and get sock hop!!
On March 25th, 2008 Lilan said:
Hi evo,
Sock Hop looks boring in the tube or swatched, but on my lips, it’s really a pretty color!
What else did you get from Heatherette???
On March 25th, 2008 evo said:
i only bought lollipop loving. and resisted on both trios. i was going to get the mineral foundation when i was in vegas over the weekend but resisted on that too. i did get a sample and will have to try it soon before it comes out in canada (supposedly on thursday)
On March 25th, 2008 Lilan said:
Hi evo,
You’re so good to resist! Honestly, my favorite from the collection are these lippies.
I haven’t tried the mineral foundation, but the applicator looks really fun, ya? Let us know what you think of it

You make me wish I was more into makeup right now.
Those colors are beautiful!

Oh gosh, Tink -
MAC is slowly becoming an obsession for me, count yourself lucky!
Hope your Thursday is going well - any plans for the weekend?
