I think they are the standouts, but I am still going to get the other pigment and a few nail lacquers. I, personally, love this color palette.

Have fun shopping in Canada!

Have fun shopping in Canada!

Can you imagine how crazy I would go with shopping in canada?? i'm staying at a hotel that literally 5-10 mins away from 2 malls. this is like either a recipe for disaster or a genius shopping plan.

Can't it be a little bit of both?

The shopping where I live isn't very good, so I'm usually pretty safe.

But, when I go to the Bay area, I have been known to spend a dollar or two.

Sparklicious looks pretty; but maybe that's only because Sugarrimmed is my favorite lipgloss ever, and it's a little too similar. I'd have to see it in person I guess.
Military looks pretty as well, but I feel like I could get a greyish black polish anywhere. I'm not super impressed with this collection.
I do wish that the design of the boxes transferred to the actual product packaging!

Yes- I wish the boxes had transferred as well. I really like them. So stupid, but I am actually tempted to buy a DGC because I want one of each box.

I am thinking of getting Partylicious and Later as well...definitely Later though, that is so pretty, even if it's only used as a liner. But I can see this as a really versatile crease color too.

I Want Candy kinda sounds interesting and I get what Her Greyness is saying about it "color correcting" red lips. After all, they make green concealers to reduce redness, why not on the lips? I have very pigmented lips, it might an easy fix so they don't look so red all the time

Good idea.

My lips aren't that pigmented though- I still can't justify it.

Experimenting is half the fun... Personally want to try this with some really bright colours- Show Orchid or Violetta. I'm also vaguely curious to try it with Black Knight.

True! I also think it's crazy how expensive these are...like for some reason Pigments at $19.50 sound expensive and are a splurge item, but then these lipglosses, which won't last half as a long are like $18! I dunno if I can do it...

Exactly! I can justify any pigment because I know I will get a lot of use out it. I mean, you can use them for just about anything. $18 for a weird colored DGC? I will have to think about it.

That yellow gloss would look fantastic on women with rich chocolatey skin tones.

A poster named Rachel on Temptalia wrote:
The yellow shade, I.Want.Candy is great to layer over any red lipstick and it instantly makes it brighter. This is a tip I got, and tried from a Shu Uemura artist.

^^^That sounds like a great idea, but I don't think it will push me over the edge to buy it, since I've got some huge hauls in my future without getting anything from A+O.
