Vino, Beet and Cherry are all perm lip pencils. The price increase for these is just because of the Marilyn licensing fee I'm assuming plus the special packaging otherwise it is the $14.50 and might go up to $15 due to the yearly or so price increase. Although I'm curious to see how the pencils will look.

Hmm. I was ok w/ this packaging (not in love with it), but after seeing the Carine Roitfeld pics, I'm starting to not like it at all. The packaging just doesn't seem as elegant as it has the potential of being.

Carine's packaging is classy and sexy, Marilyn's is cheap and tacky looking. 

I don't see it as being cheap & tacky. Of course, I'm not a very big decision maker of packaging either so I may not really know compared to more seasoned packaging buyers. I do like the Marilyn packaging. I like the Carine one as well. I'll end up spending money either way. If it were regular packaing I'd still buy. As long as the product is good and/or unique enough I'll spend on it.

 True. I would have preferred a picture along the line of my new avatar though. Much more glamorous and so Marilyn. Or perhaps more like... (is checking some Marilyn avatars here). Sorry, forgot whose avatar this is...

I also had this pic as an avatar for awhile. Now I have a new one. Yes. I do agree. I wouldn't have minded some of her more known pics used for the packaging, but according to paparazzboy these were never seen before/rare pictures. I find them to be typical beautiful Marilyn. As I have mentioned previously. I'm not a big packaging person so I probably don't know what I'm talking about. I don't know cheap looking from regular or amazing looking. Sorry fellow Specktrettes.

It looks a bit tacky!

           I am still going to buy things from this collection because i Know I want certain things and I just can't seem to help myself but this packaging looking like stickers is going to help me not spend as much. I could find a marilyn monroe image myself I liked and stick it on there. hell, my 9 yr old could do that.   The lipsticks dont seem to bad packaging wise but I think thats because the background is dark so it not so in your face STICKER.
