Still getting caught up on this thread, but kinda skipped to the most recent posts to see what's going on. Just started on a second glass of wine over here...good to know I'm right in step with everybody tonight, lol!

 

[KrystalAnne]

doubtful.

that's called striping -- and does not usually penetrate to the deeper levels of the product. best to exchange and get one more to your liking.

Booo...

I don't mind the one I have, but I would like more of that purple in mine. I don't want to waste this one..oh well!

My pleasure! I think VG Gaga & RL are pretty close, but not exactly the same. My favorite is Raspberry Swirl!

Whaaat, seems like the party died down!

Thanks! More of DD? I don't have Hibiscus, and I'm not sure what else to compare that one to! What do you think?

RFL? Awesome find! &I've been wanting to try their makeup wipes. Lol, the endorphins…mhmmm!  My pleasure! I think VG Gaga & RL are pretty close, but not exactly the same. My favorite is Raspberry Swirl!

I missed Raspberry Swirl. Sad face. However these lipsticks are really pretty. Now I'm even more excited for April's colors. I think HHS and NB are standouts for me. NB surprised me. I usually don't go for neutrals, but it looks very feminine on.

I purchased: Snapdragon Heavenly Hybrid Stereo Rose

I'm just so bummed. Mineralized products are my fave and I feel like they have all but abandoned cool toned products in terms of the MSFs, MES, and MBs whereas there used to be such a better balance. Last summer's collection was a disaster in that respect as well, as was Après Chic (I think that was the name of the one SR was re-released in). I have to look back to the summer 2012 collection to find more than one or two mineralized products that actually work for me.

I skipped all of them. No bueno for pale NW complexions.

Well I got Rose Lily & Snapdragon....but after seeing Petal Pusher(blush) I think I should get...might get. I'm a little worried about the lipsticks since Lustre's are stupid drying on my lips BUT Budding Love hasn't given me that problem whereas?? Lovelorn gave me prune lips after 15minutes of wear...my order comes on Monday & I can't wait.

The lipstick prices went up to $16! They were $15 when these were released online on Thursday.. so I'm assuming those who ordered online were able to get them for $15 and once they're released next week, it's going to be $16 since all permanent lipsticks on their site is $16. Nordstrom still has the permanent for $15 though. I'm probably going to skip and wait for Playland.

 

[BreeMakeupGeek]

oh man.. I am listening to oldies.. and having my merlot. It's a real party now:rasta:

I'm not drinking...my party is puff puff & pass

 

[ForeverJenn]

You know what I think a lot of cosmetic companies had a price increase that started Feb 1...on, Friday 31 I was in Nordies & purchased Armani fluid sheer & it was $59 today on Nordies.com I go to order another GA fluid sheer & the shit is $62 I'm like WTF I go on Armani's website its also $62 went on Saks & their still $59...that's some BS....sorry for the essay Lol.

This explains why T has lippies at 16 bucks on her site. Glad I got SD and DD before the increase. Have to wait till Thursday and Friday to receive them tho. Cali can suck.

That's fyckwd up I'm tired of them of changing the god damn price

 

[liba]

now we are getting to the nitty gritty.. the hell with makeup!

HAHAHA I was trying to read all the posts and by the time everyone started talking about liquor, I had to stop and jump into the party!

I've got a 40 year old bottle of Armagnac sitting here that I wanted to open to celebrate finishing my current book, but I have to avoid drinking for a while now. Bad gall bladder

I will enjoy all you drunkies talking about delicious wines instead and write up a big ass review of the whole collection that I spent like 4 hours playing around with today.
