I don't hate Saint Germain but it is difficult to wear indeed, and I'm not sure that the colour works for my complexion.. maybe one day I'll b2m it, but for now I will see if I can make it work..))

St. Germain looked like Pepto on my lips. I usually can carry off any color lippie, but not that one. I actually threw it out. I didn't know about the B2M otherwise I would have held onto it until I returned my other lippies. This was about two years ago I believe.
i scrapped the lipstick out, put it in the trash and i backed 2 mac the case. it looked awful on me.

hahahaha!!!!! too funny.
My husband hates Saint Germain on me. LOL

funny thing is I love my Viva Glam Nicki. It's the only lipstick I own that I have a back up for. It's my go to bright Pink. I get so many compliments when I wear it and I have inspired a few of my friends to purchase it. (keep in mind these are not ladies that wear lipstick on a regular basis, so that's an achievement) lol

oh and does anyone love glitter as much as me. Nicki wears glitter on the eyes a lot, I take a lot of inspiration from her looks.

So I am eagerly awaiting the release of Viva Glam Nicki II, I just cannot wait.

Gah! I don't think we have B2M here.

Did you consider mixing a bit of dark pink or red pigment with the stuff you scraped out and put the result in a sample jar or something? Perhaps you'd end up with something wearable. Or nice, even. Let's face it, it's not like it can get any worse

I have VG Nicki too and I like it a lot even though I'm aware it isn't the best colour on me. As long as I don't scare off animals and small children with my lipstick of choice I will happily rock it

re: glitter - yes! I used to wear glittery eye looks a lot more, but I've toned it down a bit since I got into bright, bold lips (I used to be a clear gloss girl back then). The GD fluidlines are as glittery as I go these days.

I felt that way when I would wear "reel sexy" gosh I just couldn't make that color work...so orange on me in a badddd way. It looked yucky. It was just horribly bright on me. I really thought I could pull it off, but there was just no way. I tried and tried then gave up and traded a friend for her VG Nicki. LOOLLLL


Well that's the amazing thing about Nicki, have you seen her wear glitter on eyes + bright lips? She ROCKS it! So I am inspired to recreate just maybe not in the exact colors but along those lines.

Yay! Don't forget to post pics :)

She does indeed pull off the look. Is that VG Nicki she's wearing in the second pic? It looks great on her!

re: Reel Sexy - I made sure I stayed well away from that one. Probably one of my wiser decisions as regards makeup. Hehe.

LOL.

The offspring didn't really have a chance, did they?

I bought Vanity Fair Kissable Lipcolour because I really liked the idea of St. Germain and thought VF would be a more wearable alternative because it's a tad darker. Might as well not have bothered because it's a streaky uneven mess (I haven't tried it with P&P Lip though). My search for a flattering bubblegum pink lippie (if there ever is such a thing) continues...

Will do! I am ordering my Lit Cosmetics Clearly Liquid Glitter Base this week and want to try it with these looks. Hopefully it holds the glitter better than mac mixing medium.

I am pretty sure its VG Nicki she is wearing and it looks awesome on her.

hehe. yeah I don't know what i was thinking. I seen on swatched and on temptalia's Christine it looked weird on her too. its just too orange/peach for me.

mrsdee have you tried the too face glitter base? i dont have it but some people here like it.

It's just THAT bright.
I have Saint Germain myself and actually love it! I get compliments all the time when I wear it :] but yea I won't lie in the beginning wearing it in the beginning took me time to get used to it. I'm really excited for this lipstick, I don't wear her 1st one that much but I'm considering getting a back up...maybe not it's really pretty when I pair it with my tan pigment.

I like st germain too but it is fussy. I blot it down like crazy. I am going to get tan pigment next month. Sounds like a good combo. I need to wear nicki.
