Can you tell I'm hooked on red lipsticks??

Wooo! I love Dubonnet. And Rapturous! And Dare You from the new Cremesheens.

And along with my CoC lipglass and Warning! Lip Varnish I'm all set for red holiday lips. ;-)

I just got it too... at my CCO. I am so happy... I love it.

I LOVE QUEEN'S SIN.
That should be a perm red lippie.
So Scarlet and Red She Said just don't even measure up. Which is why I haven't gotten either.

Oh, see, I adore So Scarlet. But then, I'm not into a lot of frosty stuff, so SS suits me better in general. SS and Russian Red are my two favourite red lipsticks. RSS just kind of sucks, which is why I skipped it.

Ive had a real trial trying to find a recipe for it....

I just checked my local Starbucks website. We will be having Dark Cherry Mocha and Toffee Nut Latte this Christmas! I can't wait to try one of them this weekend! It feels good that Christmas is really here.

I would say you mean normal Lebkuchen, not Pfefferkuchen. But I can't tell you exactly what the difference is

You can all eat it during christmas

Thanks! I suppose it is too much to hope for sugar free versions of these? I am going to cut out sugar from my diet. At least I am going to try. I realize I have picked the hardest time of year to start doing this, but I keep procrastinating......

Anyway, if not, I will just have a sugar free vanilla latte or caramel macchiato - that will satisfy the flavoured coffee craving (when it hits) without the sugar.

It is all about the sugar free nonfat cinnamon dolce latte. When i want to indulge, i get that and it is heavenly!

The collection was just released here in London and I just got my Red, She Said stuff today!! I'm so happy with my purchases

I got Stark Naked blush, Danger Zone MES and Love Alert d/g! They are sooo pretty! I was also contemplating getting the Red, She Said l/s too coz it just looked so pretty under Love Alert.. But I'm gonna try it out with my Port Red and Queen's Sin to see if using either of them will have the same overall effect.

heheh. but for now, I am soo happy with what I got!

YAY for the christmas flavors back at Starbucks!!! It definately feels like the holiday season now!! Can't wait to go to Starbucks tomm and pick up something.

Staying on topic should i consider getting any of the palettes...like is it worth it or no?
