THE VERDICT:

Here's the final item from my US pre- order loot. It's MAC's Crosswires lipstick. I've read that it's a clean pinky orange shade, which appealed to me so much since I love pink lipsticks. I'm kinda' thinking that this is a unique shade so I decided to include this in my pre- order loot.

Crosswires indeed is a pinky orange lipstick. In actual, this lipstick has a strong orange undertone. But the clean part, I'm not sure. this is somewhere between a cool and hot pink- orange lipstick. I saw the swatch of this in temptalia's site and fell in love with it because it seemed like a nude pink- orange lipstick on her. So you could pretty much assume that I'm quite disappointed with the color.

The cremesheen formula glides like butter on lips. It gives a nice shine and it keeps my puckers moisturized. 

Here I am, wearing crosswires. Actually, it's a color that should grow on me. I'm not liking it before because I was disappointed. But now, I've actually realized that it's a nice color that really brightens up a face when paired with a coral blush. Benefit Coralista and Crosswires is a perfect combination. It just gives my face a nice summer-y vibe.

Overall, I like it. But I don't love it. I want a nude pink- orange lipstick and I'm kinda' sure that my upcoming lippie, which is Illamasqua's lipstick in Brink will be perfect. :)
