Restrict alone gives me a semi-dead look. I will need to figure out how to get around that. Maybe layering over another product will help. I love the cremesheen finish.

As the GP 182 is just $10.50 more expensive than the regular 182, I find it very good value. As the Marcel Wanders brush from last year was 75 bucks, I was pleasantly surprised that the GP one was "only" $60. If you take good care of it, you will have it for a very long time. Enjoy, it's a high quality product.
Sorry to hear that you don't like Restrict. What is it that you don't like about it? The color or the finish?

What is your natural complexion?

I love the grey hue that you get from Restrict. It's the ultimate GP look. It might just take some time to get used to it as it is not the typical nude look, but that is exactly what makes Restrict stand out.

Did you try it with Outrage? The berry should cancel out the grey a bit.

I hope you can make it work.

It seems like it will be sorta like "Monty Python and the Holy Grail"... have you ever seen that movie? It is hysterical.
As for Mr. Bowie... I had SUCH a crush on him after The Labrynth! I was so upset when I saw this music video later, and I found out he really had short hair and was acting all weird (Dancing in the Street with Mick Jagger http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9G4jnaznUoQ). How could he go from being so cool and "sexy" to so.... NOT! Watch it, you will CRACK UP!
After your mom told you that, you should have replied "You have NO power over me!" LMFAO

And, it won't work/look right if you over apply it either don't you think. For me, just doing the light swipe & allowing my own lip color to come through when it warms really works for me. But, skin tone does seem to effect this one.

Yeah, I had that same issue with Soft Sable. At first I thought I hated it, but I was just overapplying it. "Light swipe" is the best technique for sure!

I swatched all of the Metal X shadows two days ago, and they are gorgeous!! I agree you don't want to pack on too much product. They don't seem like the original Metal X shadows at all, these have a more buttery feel to them. It seems as the product warms to your finger when you swatch it.

At least the holidays are soon, so maybe you can place another order if you feel you need another dose of GP.

Call customer service. At the very least, they should have a release date (which might be still wrong though).
