Mmmmmm no, I posted this because of the info about the releasing at Nordstrom. About the pic...I gave credit for specktra (as always). Is that ok? I guess u don't shop at Nordstrom so u can just ignore it.

I was wondering the same thing! I'm hoping she's ok. We are friends on Instagram and I have seen her like a few of my pictures. One as recent as today but she has not been very active on there either.

I just sent her a text... I'll let you guys know if she responds. That's so weird... I was JUST thinking about her the other day! Hmmmm? Hope she's just being a good girl and studying hard!!

Okay, so no Red Balloon for me. I was already planning to pass on Playland and HitC, so this reaffirmed that. But really great info about all if them. It's been so long that I was starting to think maybe I didn't need more brights. I already have GAT and Full Fuschia. But after reading your reviews I'm excited again! Now I'll have to get some glosses, too.:encore:First off, I have to sort of pop everyone's balloon about Red Balloon. It is a decent enough color, but it's very subdued compared to all the other lipsticks. It's not really that bright. It reads fully pink on me, like a soft, mid-tone berry rose pink. Love Goddess is more intense, brighter, deeper and a bluer pink, even with its extra red touch. RB isn't remotely like Pleasure Bomb or Impassioned or any of these types of pinks, either. It's seriously much more "adult" and "mature". It seems more like a color you would see from Chanel than from MAC. It's pretty, but for my coloring, it was really not as much of a head turned as something like Good Taste Mineralize lipstick, which it's like a more subdued and slightly more berry version of. It's somewhat like All Fired Up, but again, less jewel-toned and softer (plus more pink). If your skin tone is darker and NW, I think that will bring out the brighter aspect of this color, but on NC15 me, I was feeling perfectly fine to pass on it. I have Good Taste and I am also getting Hopelessly Devoted Patentpolish, which again is quite close, but there's just something a little more unique about that one than RB. If you want a less hyperactive color, this is your best bet out of this collection, but you probably have some very similar colors that are more vibrant already. It also doesn't turn into an extra special, glowing color with the lipglasses on top, like ALL the other colors do, so there is that to consider as well. Even Gesina, which I never owned, is more vibrant. The closest shade I can think of is Deliciously Forbidden mattene, but Red Balloon is a bit more pink and less dusty, sort of a spring/summer version, perhaps. I'm going to hold off without regret, but if you are a big pink fan and prefer a very grown-up, sophisticated pink, go ahead and check it out. Don't expect it to be anything like the other, flamboyant colors in the rest of the collection, though. Head in the Clouds didn't do it for me either. It's more orangey red than VG Riri, but it's also softer and less vibrant too. VGRR is just a lot richer right out of the tube, although HitC has a touch more metallic finish. Again, I think darker skin tones will bring out its best. I am going to pass on it, as VGRR is the winner on me overall and I'm trying not to just be crazy and buy every shiny thing. If VGRR is way too blue for you, you will be into HitC. It does start to get really jazzy with a variety of the glosses on top, but again, the other lipsticks are better for that too, overall. If you love a soft, moist and metallic red - this one's very work friendly and not obnoxious or slutty.

we will all be whores!!! LOL
Thanks PP - and all the other lovely ladies who have been wishing me well. Had so much pain this morning, I went straight to the ER. Strangely enough, the tests showed all my blood work normal and there was no inflammation, infection or blockages. Just stones movin' around. So, it might be feeling worse, but my body's actually handling things better than the other couple times I've had attacks. Still taking it one step at a time, as I would like to try and beat this without removing the gall bladder if at all possible. The pain is no joke when it really gets going, though. Thanks again for all the encouragement and being a great community!!!!
We may all look like painted hussies after Playland, but we are very wonderful and kind hussies!!

Oh beautiful Liba...So sorry about your pain. Hope you get to feeling better. :hug: And you still gave us a detailed review. We are so blessed to have you. You spoil us 
Wore Party Parrot today and made me so giddy for these lippies! Glad I'm not the only one that liked the sound of whorish! Lol. Not too sure if I'll get a gloss though. I just don't wear them all that much. And prefer shimmery or glittery ones. But Liba has made it sound so awesome!

I hope your pain subsides ASAP. My brother has had kidney stones and said it was the worst pain he had ever had.

Lina, do any of the Playland lippies look similar to Party Parrot? I missed out on it and would love to have something similar.

Its never okay to take someone's picture without having their consent, even if you give credit. If you have their OK, go ahead. If not, youre breaking all sorts of copyright laws.

I hope you feel better Liba. It's awful when health takes a turn for worse.
After seeing swatches of the lippies and reading Liba's descriptions, I've completely settled on "Sweet Experience." The color I wanted instantly when I heard about the collection, though, was "Toying Around," and now I'm wondering - is "Toying Around" more of an orange-red coral, or does it have a noticeable amount of pink in it?
I ask this because when I bought "Dreaming Dahlia" from aFoF, I thought there would be some pink to it and it completely reads orange-leaning-red on me. It still suits me fine but I'm not huge on orange and I don't care for red, while orange-pinks and red-pinks are my top colors in lipsticks. I'm trying to avoid disappointment, especially since I'm sticking to buying 2 lipsticks from this collection. If "Toying Around" really is more orange/red, I might just buy "Red Balloon."
