We'll agree to disagree. I love Budding Love. And it's not sheer on me. I have pigmented lips and it shows up. As for the formula. I don't see a difference. They are both drying on my lips. I need a lip balm no matter what. However. I do agree that they are dupeable colors. And they will come out again. I'm just kicking myself for not getting a back up. Budding Love is the one I reach for most, these last couple Springs. But, hey! To each their own! Just because, I like it. Doesn't mean you have to. I appreciate everyone's opinion on here. Just stating my own, as well.Awww, glad it worked out for you!![]()
You could put that picture on a book jacket, in a professional resume, wherever you want! It's a major keeper!
Budding Love isn't all that. It was the old style, too sheer and too drying type of Lustre. The color was nice, but the texture wasn't nearly as good as anything from this collection. FoL was somewhat drying and overrated too. Move on to the new stuff - I'm sure there will be dupes for them all.
I'm sort of on a perpetual medium-buy, especially lately where there have been some noticeable improvements. I'll peek in soon and hang out!![]()
^^^^^ This. It pays to have a global, long-term and impersonal perspective to counteract the emotional rollercoaster it's so easy to put ourselves on. I hope that you're entering a new era, where you have abundance in all aspects of your life - and when you get it, let it rub off a little on all of us, too, that way that you do!![]()
Wow! Here's hoping he makes the most of it, for his sake and yours! Have a wonderful time.
Not an emoticon, but this one's pretty:

BL is the pinkish lavender one right?! I skipped it. Only recently and I mean recently like this year lol I've decided I'm going to try more bright pinks. As for watch me simmer..I hated that one! Looked beautiful in the tube but looked awful on me. That and force of love lolWe'll agree to disagree. I love Budding Love. And it's not sheer on me. I have pigmented lips and it shows up.

Glad it treats you well. These new Lustres from this collection I'm finding much gentler on my lips than even my decent ones like Flamingo. I just didn't want you to kick yourself for not BU'ing BL - there will be something even better down the road and you'll find your new lavender lipstick love!We'll agree to disagree.

I understand! And thank you for making me feel better for not getting a BU. And you are right. There will be plenty of other collections, with similar colors and better finishes. I'm just realizing that I don't own many pinky/lilac colors. I really need to start doing some exploring. And find some more similar colors. They really are the most flattering on my skintone.Holy Moly!!!Beats being Mrs. Merlot, that's for sure!![]()

I got mine in the Chen Man collection back in Feb, 2012. I'm not sure if it's ever been re-promoted? But, yeah. I've been trying to venture out and find more pinky/lavender colors myself. It's too bad you didn't like WMS. I love it on me. But, pinky corals, tend to look flattering on me. I guess that's why, I was bummed to miss out on Force Of Love. It was a bright pink/coral shade. I have the lipglass. But, it's not the same. Too sheer in my opinion. But, that's the point of tinted lipglasses. I just took what I could get. LOL!As for watch me simmer..I hated that one! Looked beautiful in the tube but looked awful on me. That and force of love lol
I am actually. Everything drys out my lips and it didn't!Are you happy with Snapdragon?? I was thinking about picking this one up with DD too
Aww, I love Ernie so much. I had a plush one as a child and carried it everywhere with me, until his arms & ears fell off. It was my cousin's at first and my aunt wanted to throw it away, but my mom saved it. I always got new plush toys as presents but never liked them, old Ernie was my only love.
Mr. Merlot is a total flake. I can't even have an affair with that joker right now.No kidding Liba.. lol. I have been Mrs. Merlot for far too long![]()
