Hmmmm... Hmmm.... so I just received the Sheer RL today and I was again, expecting to be blown away. It was pretty but I just didn't feel it felt like it was $90 worth of pretty, plus the perfume smell and taste that goes down your throat is seriously strong. The texture though, was, out of this world good.

Does anyone have Loubiminette or Petal Rose? I liked the swatches of Loubiminette but does it really look like the Revlon lip butter color? :-/

What is the main difference between those two shades? I googled swatches but they turn up so differently on different people.

Hi sorry you felt like you didn't love it :( texture is really good I love everything about it it's perfect red for me I know if I picked a matte or satin red in this brand or other brands I will shy away from reds as prob too in face for me Mine doesn't smell or atleast I cannot smell it first thing I did was smell it lol weird But no smell I don't know why unless there's a very faint smell gosh starting to worry about mine now as no smell or hardly any smell and I cannot taste nothing when on my lips best bit about it as I thought these were going to be so strong like those dior two colour lipsticks which I kept anyhow I find the guerlain can be smelly too lol Hope you find one perfect for you will you be sending back ? Xx

Yeah I most likely will be exchanging it for Loubiminette. :) I am also awaiting the satin RL and Miss Loubi, and I really hope I'd love those.

I can't really smell the Guerlains! lol.
I thought my sheer RL had a stronger fragrance/taste than my matte Just Nothing. Lucky for me, that doesn't tend to bother me. I hope you love your others!!

You look really good in that sheer RL! Actually so do most people. Maybe @Medgal07 was right, perhaps my lips are just more pigmented than the average person so it affects the color more.

Awww, thanks!! That's the thing with this stuff, right? You just never know how it's going to really look until you can get it on YOUR face/lips. I felt that was about MAC Oxblood...looked so pretty on so many people, but on me, it's meh. And for $90, you deserve something you're VERY happy with...so hopefully the other shades work out.

In the late 1980,s lol that were my favourite sweet Anyone in the uk rember these ? I think they bought them out again a few years back now but not sure about now Maybe it's just me but that smell like sweets where as guerlain it's more of a perfume smell I don't know strong xx Mac I don't mind the smell I cannot taste them either tbh tom ford lipsticks I can taste abit Ysl the shine ones I cannot rember what they called volpte shine is it ( not sure not at home ) they taste on me I can taste them And the dior I can taste on my lips when wearing but after a few mins that goes with me :) those shock ones from last year Lovely colours though :) I'm still wondering which to order next but maybe I leave it till after Xmas now I don't know atm

I have found, especially with TF lipsticks they will look totally different on me, then others. Since I only have taken the plunge on 2 of CL's, haven't had this issue. Since I went for the Eton Moi and the matte red.

My Zoulou and Youpiyou arrived today! I'd take them with me this weekend, but I don't want to risk them being confiscated by TSA.

Please be careful and have an envelope/box on you to mail them to your house or you can see them go bye-bye. I found it depends the mood of the TSA person and yes, I can get away more with a guy then a cranky lady.
