On a fair ground, I don't want to shout abuse at Doe Deere. I have ordered from her and never wrote her an email.
I do feel that some bloggers writing about her feels a little too personal. I know some of her shadows are repacks (probably not all) and her false claims are nerving. However, all in all, there's no need to be some excessive name calling. She isn't the first and the last indie mineral makeup companies to be throwing a fit about less than positive reviews.

That's unfortunate to hear about this drama, especially the Temptalia stuff. On the bright side (pun semi-intended) if you want the same kind of intense lip color without the Lisa Frank-esque packaging, steep price tag or internet drama I would just opt for Obsessive Compulsive Lip Tars.

I am drooling over those right now, I can't wait to grab a few, but with the $12.50 price tag I am going to have to wait a month or so..since I want so many!
I like how they can be mixed into any kind of color, and Temptalia's pictures of her custom mixes totally sold me!

Yeah, I definitely had to budget at first because I wanted them all. I ended up getting the Primary colors first so I could mix and match, and slowly acquired the rest of the colors. The new shades they just released though are goregous (especially Vapid and Demure.) NSFW is a must have.

Haha, you must have amazing style! But really? I see people wearing all kinds of clothes all the time, but never outrageous lip colours. It doesn't necessarily mean we're shallow, just surprised by what we see!

Most people who react to it do it because they're shallow--I know because they open their mouths about it two seconds later. My response to, "I hate your lipstick!" is, "Then don't wear it."
Yes, I wear bright lipstick a lot. Usually a neon orange, hot pink, bold red, or purple color, but sometimes blue and black. I don't really get in to green or deep brown, but that's about it.

I got my lipsticks today! Cosmopop is a bit orange for my tastes, but opaque
and true to color. D'lilac is awesome, it is really true to color and applies perfectly. I worried these were gonna be lustre ish, but they are more like dryer, and pretty easy to apply evenly. I am so far pleased. If you can still stomach buying these, they're pretty decent.

Personally, I expect much better than "pretty decent" for $16 a tube. MAC still goes for less last I checked and is far beyond "pretty decent" in quality.

Yea, I mean I only tried them on quickly last night so I will have to update my reflections. But by pretty decent I mean to say they were better than I expected. I'm not too worried about the price, I was more interested in the colors, so I'm glad they apply evenly and nicely to suit!
But to each her own.

Tried D'lilac...I hated it! colour looked good but the formula was awful! felt dry on my lips and a bit difficult to apply. Blooming lovely over illamasqua's Stephanie looked the same but felt so much nicer. The red was very orangey which shocked me as I thought it was blue based! safe to say I didn't buy, but wont write them off yet, if they come out with some really unique colours, then I'd maybe be inclined to buy but at the moment nothing is at all appealing.
BTW stuckinlondon20 i belive is the 20% off code atm, due to doe and mark being stuck in london due to our current volcanic ash issue

I do find the formula on D'Lilac difficult, it's quite streaky too. The colours I use most often are Centrifuchsia and Retrofuturist and I find them to have the best formulas too. It's a shame it varies from colour to colour. I wonder why the red was orangey on you? It's a true red on me, I really like it. I wonder if it's to do with body chemistry? *shrug* maybe it was a weird batch or something. Anyway!
Here's a dupe (or pretty close anyway) for Elf, one of the Magic Dusts. It's from the Coastal Scents 88 Ultra Shimmer, so if you don't want to buy the Lime Crime magic dusts, but like the colour, here's another option for at least one of them!

I popped into Space NK today and I can't say I was overly impressed. I was the most interested in seeing the pink lipsticks, but Countess Fluorescent looked similar to MACs Chatterbox, and Centrifuchsia reminded me of Speak Louder. It's a shame that she's only decided to bring out the lipsticks over here, as I have a couple of the magic dusts and I quite like them.

I'd say the difference is due to your natural lipcolor. I have deep pink lips and they mess with the color of every lipstick I own --- a hand swatch and a lip swatch of the same color is always different.
