That's great news!!

My lips are so prone to drying and peeling I could never stand matte lippies. I pray for better luck this time!!

sounds wonderful! I pass on mattes cause of the dryness. nice to know they are listening about the LE-ness

my late hubby was always buying stuff from BB, HD, Lowes. lol.. all sorts of gadgets, plus all the unamable computer gadgets.. sigh, I do miss him so much

but he was always so happy when I bought mu for myself

back on topic: the LE mania is necessary for economic reasons -- but the real winners have been the DS type products since when a woman wants to buy a product, and it becomes so unavailable or so expensive in the aftermarket..(lol, a Stock broker's term!), they will try to dupe it and forego the HE product.

No.

Although I find Kittenish shows darker on me, I'd agree with everything sss215 said about these colours compared to NV and Tribalist. I'd also say that neither of the FF shades are as dark as those two, at least not without a lot of layering. Cunning is a particularly gorgeous colour and has a sparkle to it that you don't often see in dark shades.

Just remember: You are not going to lose your house or your car or anything else because you bought one little dark lippie extra.

Oh, this is just his latest one.
It is a 1972 Fender Princeton Reverb (tube)

Never mind the guitars on the walls, and the amps and pedals and software.

He loves it! Keeps him young!

Dang, I got Kittenish and it sounds like I will need Cunning too. (adds to the haul #2 currently being plotted) Now, someone talk me down from adding the LL quad too...

Ohmygosh...dh says that was his first amp! And I so laughed reading your post - yep, he has a room lined with guitars on walls & Marshalls everywhere

Holy Cow that is so funny. The pedals are endless...you're right though, they need to keep enjoying it

He's an old rock n roller turn Business geek

Enjoy your new goodies & let us know how you like them.

[User38]

I don't think I could talk anyone out of buying an LE item that they love.. I would feel so guilty if they had to pay E*** prices

besides, our job is to enable each other

I may get a 3rd cunning cause it is the perfect formula. that sparkle is so pretty without being overdone. ahem, dazzleglass... yeah

seems to me, with the economy being shaky, companies would want to LE less for fear of losing customers to DS dupes. I only know a tiny drop about economics, so i may be way off here. But clearly, the big company that gets Evilbayed alot must have considered this at some point. This company would never loose its uniqueness to the DS companies, and the quality is not always the same, but i am sure they have considered toning down the LEs a bit because of the economy.

I may try that, but my counter usually checks pretty closely.

Thanks, Michelle!

And HerGreyness, so good to see you on here again! I missed your posts!

And the upcoming stuff all sounds divine!!!!

The darkest color (again I forget the name) is very pigmented as well. Yeah I'm buying the BB quad now.

Yeah, I love Notoriety too! I have it from the MAC collection and don't understand the dislike for it.

 

[PinkBasset]

O-ou, I'm in trouble. I just used my Gold Stroke sample today for the first time and I like it...I dunno why I always thought it's nothing special or not so pretty. Might be I end up with all the pigments in this collection!

 

[ARmakeupjunkie]

I used the LL quad this weekend...it's my new love. I plan to wear PP quad tonight. I went back to the counter and tried, really hard, to love Cunning and Kittenish but, neither does anything for me. I do love my Lap of Luxury and Superior!!

 

[Hypathya]

^ Same here, Heidi!!

I'm trying to talk myself out of those piggies, but I don't think I'll manage to do it!!
