I think she might be right. I haven't worn SO yet except once at the counter. Can't wait to wear it to work. I think it is office friendly.

I think P&P might be a little more blue-toned. Since we didn't get Riveting here at all, I will check Show Orchid out the next time I'm in Brussels or somewhere else that has a PRO store. Meanwhile I'll get P&P on thursday!

^^ Great! P&P is purple magenta on me.

After reading this I have an impulse to put on TB now. I'm at home on a Sunday night watching telly.

i know! i'm wanting it now too and it'snot even released in the uk! must stamp on those lemmings!

I need an excuse to go out so that I can put on the gloss. Maybe you can put on another hot pink gloss while waiting for it to be released.

Put on the gloss and well - take out trashes or something?

And look fierce while doing it!

I finally wore SO and TB on my way home from work today. The hot lips brighten my day.

Is there any chance that Show Orchid might still be available in regular freestanding stores in the US? Since it's still available online, I'm thinking that maybe it wasn't hugely popular?

Yes it is, but it was promoted with Riveting. So that would mean that there was a limited amount released to regular stores, counters and the non pro site, right?

true. but if it's pro you could always call pro and get them to send you one via mail order. which is always good!

Can we do that in Europe? Because my closest Pro is in... Germany I'm guessing? I don't feel so sure about that.

The fuschia blush is a perm pro item. You can always call the Pro store and have it shipped to you.

ah perhaps not then. but maybe it is worth a try?

 

[InspiredBlue]

Nah, I'm not that desperate (at least not at the moment

). I'll make due with Petals & Peacocks for now. I should end up in London, Paris or Rome sooner or later, so I'll try and hold out until then.

Wearing True Babe lipglass today. I absolutely love this lipglass! Who knew that I would ever be into hot pink lips?

I would wear mine everyday if my office was less conservative.

I don't know if anyone have seen or mentioned this, but NYX Dolly Pink is a dead-on dupe for True Babe lipglass. Here's the link of the comparison. They both look very similar!

Beauty Is Not Caused: Attention! Dupe alert!

It's great because i've been wanting True Babe, but i know it's not something i will wear often. Paying $3.99 for it, however, is justifiable
