A mint lipstick for Spring?

Interesting... unfortunately, it looks like one of the RV Candy shades, which tend to be very, very sheer. Plus that formula hates my lips.

I'm interested in the mint lipstick also, but it's an RV type formula and it may not agree with me. I haven't tried an RV Candy yet, but the normal RVs are a no go.

Can someone tell me if the Touche Eclat highlighter pen has the same scent as the TE foundation? I had a sample of the foundation (BR50 I think, way too dark for me, but tried it on anyway. I think the BR10 could be a good match for me) I really like the formula and finish, but my eyes started watering and I think it's because of the perfume in it :( I wanted to order the pen for the longest time now, but I'm afraid it's scented just like the foundation. That would be a deal breaker.

Is it drying? I haven't tried the RV Candy yet. I only played with the RV at the counter, but they were a creamy smeary mess, so I never took a second look at them. If the Candy ones are similar to Chanel's RC Shine I might like them.

I find them much sheerer than the RC Shines, although it probably varies depending on colour. I find the regular RVs quite drying on my lips, although many more people find them moisturising.

ohh noo. i have never tried their lipsticks. this would be my first one from them.
Like katred, I haven't tried the RV Candy formula. Just the regular RV formula, so it may apply differently. I'm still going to check it out because it may be different. I enjoy YSL's Rouge Pur Couture lipsticks and have no problems with that formula. I'm hoping the missing RPC will be another mint color.

I find the regular RVs to be a greasy mess.

Agreed.

I notice that these are "Candy Floss" rather than RV Candy shades. Wonder if that means it's a slightly different formula. I have a couple of layering shades in blue, so I'm not sure I need another one. Although I was thinking of getting that green-tonged gloss that YSL has out with their holiday collection. Really, though, I'm more interested to see what the RPC is. Still one of my favourite lipstick formulas.

I want the holiday gloss, too. They sure seem to be taking their sweet time making it available. If the new spring RPC isn't mint, I would love for it to be purple. I was excited for purple RAs in the Chanel spring collection, but they seem like they may be more toned down and not as purple as I was expecting.

i went to the ysl counter in nordstrom. no lipglosses and no highlight powder. the SA had no idea what i was asking about. the sad thing is i can barely afford ysl here, there's no way i can afford a cp from europe. im going to email them right now.

Crap. I haven't had a chance to check my counters here, but I hope it isn't Europe only. I know that with the Fall collection, three of the six matte shades were only released in Europe.
