Re: Your thoughts on SCANTY lipstick
I love scanty. It is one of my HG l/s. I just ran to the bottom of my tube and dug out the rest and melted it down into a pot so I could use the rest. It is a really pretty pink, but not too pink. For an extra "pop" I'll use it with cranberry lipliner.

Re: Your thoughts on SCANTY lipstick
Scanty is in my top 5 favorites. I have tons of lipsticks that just sit and get worn every once in awhile, Scanty gets worn at least once a week. It's pink & pretty but not in your face, super bright, so it can be worn with in your face super bright eyes! LOVE IT!

Re: Your thoughts on SCANTY lipstick
I love amplified lipsticks for my dry lips...scanty is definitely a nice one - it's like a non-grey version of Viva Glam II  Nice for neutral day looks but can have a tendency to look a bit chalky on it's own ..that can be sorted by adding a touch of brighter pink on top (e.g impassioned)..gorgeous!

My thoughts are...I wish I owned it!

Re: Your thoughts on SCANTY lipstick
I just wore my Scanty lipstick for the first time yesterday and was surprised it was such a buildable colour =) It went on very sherry to give a natural look and in the evening I used a heavier had to apply for a more bold look. Really beautiful lipstick!!
I was looking at the N collection swatches and was wondering if anyone knew if the 2N or 3N lipstick was similar to Scanty..can anyone verify?? Thanks!!!

Re: Your thoughts on SCANTY lipstick
I haven't received mine yet (ordered online) but honestly I don't think that either of those is very close to scanty. Scanty is by far my fave and I have been looking for a dupe everywhere. When I saw the N collection in the store I can say that none of them really reminded me of my beloved Scanty.

Yeah, they have some at my CCO as well. I bought mine a few months ago, and just used it for the first time last week. WOW. I'll probably get some more now. Beautiful color!
