I am excited for all the new shades but something about the mini part is annoying! I never get mini's and I have a feeling I am getting these just because and giving in to the hype!!

I'm looking forward to trying out the formula at a bit of a price break than normal before really committing to the full priced lippies.

Funny enough, I'm more excited that they're not full size and are cheaper. With the amount of lip products I own, not including the sheer number I managed to amass over Sephora's two sales... I don't need to be buying anything full sized. I still want to get 2 or 3 of the Audacious babes during Nars' F&F but I feel that will be overindulging lol. I still haven't bought my MAC holiday stuff yet either... the struggle!
I agree! Full size is nice, but for a person new to the brand or someone who already has a lot of other lipsticks in his/her stash the smaller size at a cheaper price is a nice intro to the brand.

I know and I am starting to see why. Though I am thrilled to try the brand, maybe not these clutch size lipsticks.
They are listed as clutch sized but for other brands these would be considered mini lipsticks.
Man, don't say that... :( I might end up skipping though. I don't feel like gong through and making a list. I know, sounds silly, but if the size isn't worth it, then I don't want to make the effort.

But I will say, as far as the size, how many regular size lippies do we actually finish? SO wouldn't a smaller sized lipstick be more practical?

No that doesn't sound silly Pretty------it takes time to go through the list and consider first, which of those are permanent that you already have and then how many of the others do you have dupes for in an already bulging lipstick collection. As for me---the minis don't actually fit into my storage scheme (spelled OCD) & I would want to alter something to have easy access to them. You're correct about actually depleting a single lipstick and I haven't used up a lipstick since my collection has grown. I don't backup either---how many people have 2, 3 and 4 of a single lipstick, as if they'll ever use one up because they/we have so many. Lots to think about....done thinking and I think I don't need these mini lipsticks.

I have Flush, and LL would be next on my list!


Thank you for this info!

Is there a list or where could I find the descriptions? I saw one, but did I miss the info for this?
I think you'll really like LL MRV---is soft and pretty.

I don't back up either and the few times that I have I ended up giving the back up away because I realized that I'd more than likely never even get to it. The thought of having even half of the lippies I have in duplicate or triplicate just laying around collecting dust on the off chance that I'll use them down the road kinda freaks me out a bit. lol

SO someone said they wanted Meddy to adopt them. (here or sephora thread) I'm sorry, she is mine, you can't have her, not sharing. She's adopting me. (she doesn't know it yet). You can come over for play dates though. ;-)

Awickedshape, also said it seems like his ads are overtly sexual, totally agree. When I read his interview about lips and boys, you can tell he got a kick out of the innuendos. grow up!

Oh I loved being fought over. You made my day. I'd take you in a heartbeat, but I have a feeling your mother would wrestle me to the ground if I tried to take her Pretty away!!

Yes more practical, I do agree. But when the mini lipsticks I have were given to me free...and are .5g short of these TF lippies it makes me :shock:

me too medgal its tease I stalk the site to get it and now I hoard it like its going to disappear Lmbo I love it
You know, I now really like Tease. Initially it didn't look as pink as I hoped it would but found out it was my lighting. I happened to glance in my car mirror and WOW. It is so pretty! I was already hooked on the formula which is why I have every gelee that EL has brought to the market place. I reach for tease often--in fact I wore it yesterday.

Aren't these minis supposed to be 7/10 of a full size? That isn't really super mini if they are 0.07oz compared to 0.1 oz full sized ones. Those GWP ones are definitely mini at 0.03oz.

Anything less than full size to me is mini.

Like height--anything below 5.5 or whatever is petite.

Sure does! I don't want a backlog of unused backups laying around that get to be 3,4 even 5 years old or older because I keep piling on new items.
