The lip lab! I went once and it was pretty awesome, though much smaller than I thought it would be. I made a nice fall/winter purple when I went, and now I'm itching to go back and make a perfect pinky coral for spring/summer!

You really should be fine without a lip liner. If you worry about it bleeding, you could always use a reverse liner, like Ozone by Urban Decay. You just simply draw right outside the lip line all the way around before putting on your lipstick. It's a wax pencil, so it creates a barrier so the lipstick won't bleed over the edge. Also, if you use the Bite Line and Define pencil (it's a lip primer), your lipstick will stay on better. I am not sure if you are aware or not, but their matte lip pencils are waterproof.
Love, love, love!!!

You lucky, lucky dog!!! I would love to be able to drop by there to make some lipstick. The problem is, I don't think I would ever want to leave. I really don't think I could behave myself at all!

Thanks! I love them all very much!:eyelove:
I know how that goes! Once you get started, you're hooked! I was just checking the prices on a bus trip, train and regular airfare. Yikes!!! I wonder if it would be possible to buy some base colors (like white and clear). Then I could use those to tweak the colors I already have. That might be worth it. Just think of all the possibilities! I remember reading on their site that one of their LE shades last year (Lavender Pastille - I might have that name transposed) is a combination of 3/4 white mixed with 1/4 Violet. Well, I already have the Violet. Hmm ......

Here are a few more (messy sorry!) swatches. From left to right is Nutmeg. It is a liner. Then there is lychee balm, watermelon balm and the duo-ended mini lipsticks in
Lychee and Musk. When you are looking at the swatches, please notice the difference in the lychee lip balm and the lychee lipstick.

The only reason I was able to control myself is because it was not cheap! I think my lipstick cost $34, IIRC. That's why I don't plan on doing it often. I have my fall/winter shade I made, and I want to go back to make a spring/summer shade, and then I'll be done for a while. A Specktra event there would be awesome!!! It would be pretty hilarious though because it's literally about the width of a hallway. We would have to take turns going in, haha.

I bought the Agave lip mask and while I love the way that it makes my lips feel, the packaging is HORRIBLE. At first glance it's just a tube but it's the hardest tube I've ever tried to squeeze. That in combination with thickness of the product makes it difficult. I've heard of others trying to squeeze the tube and the crimped end opening up. They have to rethink the packaging for this product. What is the point of having a great lip treatment if you can't get it out the tube.

I agree, the packaging needs some work. I ended up moving my lip mask from my bedroom (which is always the coldest room in my home, for some reason) to the bathroom and have actually had an easier time squeezing the product out of the tube since doing so. It's still not as easy as squeezing a tube of toothpaste, but it's much better. If you love the product (as I do), try moving it to one of the warmer areas of your home and see if it helps!
