I've never had a Lustre but I like the look of Notice Me
There are a lot of older Lustres that are kind of weird - a little sheer and also kind of drying. The good news is there have been newer Lustres creeping in since last year that are much more smooth and pigmented and not as drying either. The Lustres in last spring's Fantasy of Flowers collection were all really great - they went on super smoothly but not heavy in texture, and they really made my lips look very full and young. I've been gearing up to pull Fleur d'Coral, Dreaming Dahlia and Rose Lilly out of their winter storage as soon as things start getting springy around here. All of those are excellent and not hard on my dry lips, plus they even blot down to a stain really well, something old Lustres never used to do either.

Definitely looking forward to this new batch.

I can see both sides, and I agree with Dolly, Nadine, and Liba. People will keep asking the same questions and/or say something annoying, but we all have the option to skip over such posts and ignore them. On the other hand, if you think someone is being overly negative, perhaps it's best to message the person privately instead of exchanging rude comments in the main thread. You can also block the member and/or report a post. We do issue infractions for insulting other members and/or abusive language. :peace:

I have Dreaming Dahlia and I quite liked it. I'm usually a fan of more opaque color but it had a nice amount of pigment and did feel pretty good on my lips.

I can't really do pastels, so most of the lipsticks are a skip for me. I already have Reel Sexy and Silly, and I don't really need backups. Make Me Gorgeous is a maybe.

I love the CSG formula, but I wish these weren't all repromotes. I already have Fashion Scoop, On the Scene, and Star Quality. Japanese Spring is a skip (again).

I need to skip the eyeshadows too as I already have too many.

It looks like it's just the Fluidlines and (possibly) the BP's for me!

What! is the world ending lmao

You'd think, a lustre would be moisturizing lol but no those suckers can be so drying.
I really hope the formula has improved.
lmao D!! Lustres + those shade probably!!

My list so far includes 2 BP's plus 4 Fluidlines (Blue Peep, Ivy, Siahi, and... either Our Secret or Lowlights).

Hmm interesting. Perhaps I'll try one, I don't have a problem with dry lipsticks, all my favs are pretty drying so I feel like im somewhat used to it. We will see once we get some swatches.

To get back to the topic of the thread, here's the lipstick pic from Karly: 10895230_1088184511207886_269482920_n.jpg (640×640)
These lipsticks look amazing!

Highlights looks like Fleur D'Coral and Tangerine Dream's cousin. Catty, Make me Gorgeous, and Pure Vanity look divine.

I have Silly and don't use it much due to having so many pink mattes. I need to put that one back in rotation along with Dreaming Dahlia. Reel Sexy is holy grail status for me so that one is a must. My wallet is in big trouble with this collection.

One good thing about these newer Lustres' is they're really good for pastels. Matte pastels can go on so heavy, like clown lips, but something with a thin, silky, skin-like texture makes pastels look more fused with your natural lips. Also letting a tiny bit of the natural lip color through helps fight the clown lips. That's what was nice about the Fantasy of Flowers ones.

As I recall Naked Bud had a really good feel for it being a Lustre, and it looked amazing on WOC! Actually I wouldn't mind if MAC eventually repromoted that one lol Still 5 lipstick reveals to go, I would love to see some deeper nude shades :)

I'm going to skip Romantic Breakdown from BBW and put that $$ toward a BU of French Twist, getting an HG feeling about FT lol
