I'm going to try and post some swatches of dupes of those glosses. Some of those look so similar to ones that have been put out already. I would say that if you missed out on Snowscene, in the tube Elle looks like a good substitute.
If you have NARS Turkish Delight, it is similar to Poetic License based on the swatch. Totally It resembles Stila's Brilliant Pink. You can get about 3-4 Stila lipglosses for the cost of one MAC lipgloss if you register to become a member of their site. They always have member perks. Even if you don't, Sephora's website usually sells them as a set.
Ensign looks gorgeous. I bet it would be beautiful over Madly Creative l/s.

They almost always say that. At one of the stores I used to go to, they said that to me last year, and this year, made me but my brush set on pre order, but it never sold out *rolls eyes*
But the lipgloss sets are pretty cheap, those I think you should snatch in a jiffy, don't chance it with lipgloss!!!

I don't know how similar Elle would be to Snowscene out of the tube though... Just going from the swatches, Elle looks like it has some nice sparkles and pinkish color
Snowscene is more plain white... I have it and of course I will prob end up with Elle in the next day or two LOL so I can compare too if you don't get around to it. But if you can, I would love to see your comparison swatches hun

I was going to get the bright lip set, but I have to keep it real with myself and know that it won't show up as vividly as I want on my pigmented lips. So, it's back to my deep lip set. I will be scooping it up either Friday or Saturday!

I don't have Snowscene, but from the swatches I've seen it looks much more white than Elle. On the skin, Elle almost turns like a really translucent pinky/peachy color. Most of the white pretty much disappears, it's hard to describe.

it depends how thickly you apply snowscene. i only use a little and it looks just like the elle swatch but with some more brighter pinky flecks rather than some peachy flecks
i think that Tish is busy with work and such. i know she started back a work a few weeks ago so i assume that is what she is doing.

Me too. It's weird how we get used to people on here and miss them when we don't hear from them. In my head I'm always going "you don't even know this person and you're wondering if they're ok" but I guess in a way we do get "know" each other. Hopefully she's just busy and all is well with her and her family.
On topic, you guys are making me really want those gloss sets. I love Morning Glory and the other colors are so pretty also.

Can't wait to see your pics. I am trying to decide between the smokey piggies and the sexy lipglosses for now (I can only get one today).
