Thank you! It is gorgeous color and perfect name too. My last name means Cherry in Russian. Hehe... So I had to get it you know.
I probably have to do FOTD and ask for your opinion.

CoC l/g is really the perfect red l/g, looks stunning over a red lipstick. Anyone who's a red fan should get it!

What about Rich & Ripe l/g ? Nobody talks about it.Do you think it's a must-have ?

Personally, I love it

I wore it with Spice l/l underneath last week. A great daytime option!

Me too! Of course the items I did not buy are the ones that are sold out! (jampacked & CoC lipglasses).

I have been wearing my Warning! lip varnish with the CoC looks and it is working really well.

I just bought the Tempting Quad from someone here! I can't wait to get it! Luckily, I had just enough in my paypal to get it. That means my birthday money can go towards Ungarooooo!

I miss Rbella already guys. Keep her and other Texans in your thoughts as they hunker down for Hurricane Ike

I stepped out of usual color scene and tried the Bing mattene lipstick. Bing just really made my skin tone, NW15, stand out. I felt a bit self-conscious, because it stands out so much on me. After receiving several strangers compliment me on my skin, I was feeling rather well. In fact, I got so use to it that others with softer lipstick colors were appearing naked.

I went back and got the matching nail polish too.

I know, weather can be so scary! I don't know whether to be more worried about her facing the huricane or sleeping on the floor with the lizard!

I went to get spiced chocolate quad yesterday and they were sold out, so heartbroken. I called the other store today though and they have one on hold for me! I'm finally going to get it!!

 

[meg_curls]

ok so my counter FINALLY had there CoC event
I ended up walking away with only:

Tempting Quad
Kirsch
Blooming
Lightly Ripe (B2M)

I thought I would get more, but I had dupes for most of Spiced Chocolate and they were sold out of Shadowy Lady (though I did see the tester still of Smudged Violet. It was unfairly gorgeous. I might have to order it from the site, JUST for that color. which I promised myself I would never do) as well as Bing and all of the glosses. Plum de Bois really just turned brown on my NC20 skin and on my friend who came with (NC40-ish) it was hardly even plum, or present.

Blooming was PERFECT though. Not a lot of color, but somehow just made my cheekbones pop right out of my face

Kirsch scared me at first. I kept laughing as the MA put it on me because I thought I looked ridiculous, but after I saw it all together (with blooming, tempting quad) I had to have it.

So yeah, that was my experience.
I also got 4 pigment samples from Overrich, but the MA forgot to put them in the bag

It drives me nuts. I'm neurotic about it. I feel like my 239 was raped.

Bleh. No, I've never used Electric Eel. I'll keep in mind that if I do, I need to wash my brush IMMEDIATELY in hopes of getting it out. Or, use a cheap brush I don't care about. Hmph.

Hurray! I'm glad the other one has one for you to go get. I'm still not used to the fact that there is another one.

Kirsch seems to be sold out on the website!

And the CoC is just gorgeous. I also got Kirsch and Rapturous and Jampacked. Although I am not sure about Jampacked on its own, on me it is very violet and they do not really suit me on my lips.

Tempting quad had to come with me as well.

Oh, and I got Blooming as well. Great colour

When I come back from vacation I hope they still have some stuff left.

Finally it is the weekend and I have uploaded my pics in the swatch thread. I know I'm late, but I just wanna share...

After playing with my haul for 6 days, I really like the l/g a lot!
Jampacked and CoC bring out my pale skin - make it look fairer than it really is

. Jampacked is the perfect purple and CoC is a nice red on me, not a blue-red or orange-red. Liqeuer is a beigey brown (more beige than brown) on me. Cherry Blossom gives a soft look and makes my lips shimmery. Didn't get Rich&Ripe as it looks brown on me. I've only worn tempting quad once, and it gives a nice neutral look.

I remember when I swatched in store, I didn't like Spiced Chocolate as it might be too warm for me. But I keep seeing nice FOTD with SC, so I'm still considering it. No Mattenes available here so I couldn't try them. Overall, I

the l/g!!

Hmmm... maybe something along the lines of Instant Gold? I'd try some combos but they're still fixing the plumbing at my apartment so we're staying elsewhere (they have torn down our entire bathroom... it looks like a war zone, LOL) and I don't have my entire stash with me.

I adore it. Today I am only wearing foundation, mascara and blush, but with some R&R on my lips I look so "made up", if you know what I mean. It makes me look so much more glam.

I love rich and ripe as well. beautiful colour - goes with so many looks.
