For those of you on the fence about GK because you have Red Balloon, I just want to say that they are NOT dupes of one another at all, although it may appear as such in some blog photos. Besides the formula being different, GK is a lot brighter with more pink. Swatched on my NC 30 skin, they were noticeably different.  If you love Red Balloon and are into shades like Quick Sizzle, Moxie, etc. you should definitely pick up GK. It is a real beauty! :eyelove:

Would you mind posting swatches of those two together as I rly dont know if I should get GK or not. I just want to see how different they are if thats ok :)

I'm trying to decide whether to get lingering kiss. I have diva and dont often wear it. I'm definitely going to buy hearts a flame. Don't think the blushes will show up well on nc50 skin.

Which is why I changed my mind on getting the blush. I wound up getting Reckless Desire lipglass Saving $ for the Simpsons collection

I'm with you on that one. I'm sure both of the Simpsons blushes will look great on our skin tone. All of my fingers are crossed lol. I hear good things about reckless but I'm hoping to see it later in the year at a CCO store.

It really looks gorgeous on you! It can take the right mood to wear colors like this. On days when I want to keep to myself I wear subtle colors. On days/nights when I want to look sophisticated or just unique, I wear these colors!

You look gorgeous! And even though it is really dark on you, it doesn't pull goth or anything. Just really sophisticated looking.

Unfortunately, I am unable to post photos right now. Red Balloon is a lot deeper than GK. Good Kisser is a lot brighter, pinker. They are quite different lipsticks actually. Here is a good comparison swatch of Pleasure Bomb and GK. I would say that even though this isn't Red Balloon, you get a good idea of the difference as Red Balloon is very similar in deepness to Pleasure Bomb. http://instagram.com/p/rww12lSiHz/ (credit to user). HTH

I must add that the Matte finish of this lipstick is a HUGE selling point. I wore mine out the other day and my lipstick looked good for probably 8 or more hours!

Thank you so much for this! I've been so on the fence about this one! I missed out on Pleasure Bomb and while I love Red Balloon it doesn't have that awesome matte finish.
