MAC Creme Team



I’m not quite sure why MAC launched the Crème Team collection in the same time frame as Hello Kitty. With all the hype around the Hello Kitty launches and all the parties and pre-orders, Crème Team just kinda slipped in there and wasn’t really noticed quite as much. Which is actually kind of sad because I think this collection is a lot more wearable and will have much wider appeal than Hello Kitty will ever have. From MAC, “Double desire. Love-me-two-times lips. Introducing Cremesheen Lipglass, the perfect performance teammate for Cremesheen Lipstick. Creamy, quixotic colour, and super-sexy shine. Lips talk a glamorous game.”


This collection only contains lip products; Lipstick, Lipglass, and Lip Liner.


Lipstick - Colour plus texture for the lips
- Crème Cup - light blue pink
- Shy Girl - creamy neutral coral beige
- Crosswires - clean pinky orange
- Lickable - bright clean blue pink
- Lavender Whip - light cool lavender
- Crème in Your Coffee - creamy mid-tone pink brown
- Spice is Nice - creamy dark warm brown
- Hang-Up - deep berry


Crèmesheen Glass - A lip finish that fuses the creamy, sheen-filled nature of Cremesheen Lipstick with the shine of M∙A∙C Lipglass. Soft, comfortable, non-sticky. Applies with a doe-foot applicator. Use as a top layer to its namesake Lipstick or on its own.
- Ever So Rich - sheer lilac
- Partial Pink - light creamy yellow pink with light gold pearl
- Boy Bait - light neutral beige with pearl
- Fashion Scoop - pale cool baby pink with light pearl
- Melt in Your Mouth - mid-tone creamy clean pink
- Petite Indulgence - mid-tone bright blue pink
- Crème Anglaise - mid-tone neutral mauve
- Looks Like Sin - sheer deep berry


Crèmestick Liner - A creamy, highly pigmented, retractable lip liner. Lightweight and smooth to apply: very long-lasting. Use as outline or as a “fill.” Helps prevent feathering and bleeding. Use with any M·A·C lipstick or gloss
- Caramellow - sweet caramel brown
- Sublime Culture - pink/caramel fusion
- Pink Treat- deep cool pink
- Velvetella - blackened plum


I’m not really a fan of these lipstick colors and I don’t use lip liner so neither of those two products really appeal to me at the moment. But as we all know, I have become a huge sucker for MAC Lipglass and even though these shades are more expensive than the average Lipglass, I still want to get a bunch of them. I want to get Boy Bait, Fashion Scoop, Crème Anglaise, and Looks Like Sin. This little collection of glosses might take some money away from my Hello Kitty budget…
