its because of the little quote inside the box. it takes up more room making it harder for the product to slide outta the box.

I agree, gladiola needs a gloss. I am loving it with pleasure principle dazzleglass

also: Kanga-rouge on me is like a ls version of cult of cherry lg- hot combo!

I personally think it looks nice on you.

It's unique and different looking let's say that! It's almost like a matte pink for darker skinned girls, like how pale girls could wear Melrose Mood from Heatherette, this is the dark skin version!

Well, it looks like that to me!

 

[Kayraphat]

I think it looks AWESOME on you ... It cools sown your skintone and you look very unique!

Here is a Kange-Rouge vs. Red, She Said comparison. Livia asked me if they were similar on my blog, but I thought I would share with everyone.

Kanga-Rouge has less pink in it ... but I actually like it better! They are really similar though ... so unless you are a compulsive MAC buyer (like me!) you really don't need both. HTH

Gladiola is hot! I'm thinking of getting it. Matte lipsticks make awesome stains too. You can apply just a little with your finger and put some lip balm over the top. Works great with my Russian Red.

Honestly, it's a pretty color but it looks a tad too cool on you. Maybe it's because you didn't have full makeup on. If you put on cool e/s and blush shades, they'll probably complement Gladiola and make you look better. I agree with the adding of lip gloss suggestions too, especially if you wanna reduce the intensity of the lippie.

That's the best thing I've read in the early morning! Hehe, thanks a lot! I'll see if I'm able to resist Kanga-Rouge and save some money for other collections.

Does anyone have both DE Coral Polyp ls & Shine Manish lg? If so, I would love to know if the colors are similar in shade?

I tried to resist this l/s but can't. Not after looking at it on you. You look absolutely fab with it!

 

[Miss QQ]

I don't like Red She Said. Kanga Rouge looks much hotter IMO.

I just have to stand up for the highlight powders. I bought What a Dame and I LOVE it. The glittery overspray was nice but I found it a little too glittery. I am a NC15 and I use it all over kinda as a setting powder. Even with no overspray it gives a really pretty glow to my skin. Not chalky at all.

I do and they are similar but Shine Manish is more orange while Coral Polyp is more reddish pink?

Can anyone post a comparison swatch between Gladiola, Melrose Mood, Girl About Town and Snob?.. I have all the other three I've mentioned, just not Gladiola so I'm wondering if it will be worth getting that one too if its different enough

I don't have Girl About town so I didn't swatch that one. Swatches done on NW15 skin.

From Left to Right: Fashionably Fuchsia, Snob, Gladiola, Melrose Mood, and Too Fab

Wow, I was there saturday... collection has been out for 1 day already and the stickers on the lipsticks were already peeling off in the corners. Blah.. I have a feeling if I bought something from this collection the packaging would really annoy me. =/

I am planning to superglue all the stickers, so those babies are staying on!

love, love LOVE Gladiola, the only thing I got from Dame Edna. So happy to have a matte bright pink again, even if it's LE!

Still dreaming of Blow becoming permanent...they should do it as a tribute to Isabella...
