Hi ladies, I've been lurking here for the last couple days 
Just wanted to give heads us to those who looking for a dupe to RP, its definitely Flannel. I have them both and Flannel just a tad muted in comparison to RP, but the same grey-pink duo chrome effect.
I had chance to swatch all the tints yesterday. I was looking for shimmer, warm tones and least amount of sparkles. I have found that #5 and 12 are the sparkliest when applied very lightly. SA said #5 so far is bestseller. I walked away with 6,7,8,9 and 11. I am on the fence about #7 Shadow. It is definitely very unique color and could pull from cold to neutral depending on the amount of product applied. I am not sure about that one just yet, the rest of them - absolute love!

That is the only one I have. It's a beautiful color and according to the SA at the Armani counter at my local Nordies it's their best seller.

Oh that colour is amazing. Glad you're loving them. They are one of the only liquid lipstick formulations that I really like.Are the eye tints LE or Perm? I've seen conflicting information. I apologize if it's been said here before, but I am making my *long* list and don't want to miss out if LE. Thanks!
Conflicting information seems to be the best we've gotten. I asked my SA and even they weren't sure. Sorry that isn't much help...

Thanks for the feedback about the RP dupe ladies! I missed out on that one and was scouring the internet for awhile trying to find it and then I gave up. So when @katred mentioned the dupe possibility I squeed.Hi ladies, I've been lurking here for the last couple days

Finally got a chance to swatch Shadow today and you're right it's darker and more purple than RP but it is a gorgeous, complex shade. Sorry for the slightly blurry pic but it seemed to be the only way my camera would detect the multi-colored sparkles in the formula. I did order Flannel as well and it should be here Thursday or Friday, so I'm very excited to see it!

I have never tried a Lip Maestro! From the swatches I've seen, I like the finish. Is the wear time decent?That is the only one I have. It's a beautiful color and according to the SA at the Armani counter at my local Nordies it's their best seller.

I haven't worn it to test for longevity yet. Maybe tomorrow and I will get back to you.

I just picked up #10 today myself and yes...it swatched brown on the top of my hand but when the SA applied to my lid it translated as beautiful plum on me. I love it. I've had it on since 10:30 and it has yet to crease on my lid and the color is still present. I'm going back for more. This puts my pot shadows to shame.

Thank you! No rush but whenever you have some time to try it out definitely let me know! Not sure why I haven't tried one before. Lippie overload I guess ;-)

Sooo much better than pot shadows, right? I totally agree. Glad you're loving #10. It's a beauty!

Far better than pot shadows IMO. My Dior and Chanel pots have some serious competition.

hi Ellas I have worn mines for a few hours it stayed on pretty great the color does tranfer if u eat or drink but that does not bother me because I don't mind reapplying I love love it Hope u try one

My experience was similar. Some people are bothered by the fact that it doesn't quite "set" like other liquid lipsticks, but that means it's not nearly as drying either. Plus, it means that you can dab a little more on if you need to without having to scrub and exfoliate your lips before starting from scratch.

Ok ladies. Here is Flannel, and as others have mentioned, this is definitely the Rose Popillia "dupe" (in parens because I don't have that one and haven't seen any official comparisons). Dupe or not, I'm CRAZY for this shade! There's a video on my instagram (see signature) if you want to see more of the dimension of it. I did not think this shade would show up on my eyes but it absolutely does. Definitely one of my favorites of the line for sure!

Thanks ladies! They sound great. I will have to try one soon. I actually got a little sample of a GA Flash Lacquer with a recent order and I was very pleasantly surprised by that formula as well. Very moisturizing, not overly glossy or sticky. So I have a feeling a Lip Maestro and Flash Lacquer may come home with me whenever I place my next order...perhaps whenever the spring collection pops up online!

Oh gosh, I need this one too! I still haven't gotten #7, because I saw TF's Blush Duo on Saks last night when I was picking up Frantic Pink and purchased it on the spot. I also need to save money to get more primer and foundation this week. So I guess these pretties will have to wait a little while longer. :'(Ok ladies.
