It will be even worse if we get the summer LE earlier than the US again.

Thought you guys might enjoy this :)

Thank you for posting these!

My original idea was Playland, since it sounded like a gold that would actually work for me (most don't). It's still looking perfect! Very excited about that. I was also interested in Head in the Clouds because I love a bright red frost and VG Riri isn't the perfect red for me. This one definitely looks better for my skin tone.

Seeing these swatches, I'm really interested in Happy Go Lucky now. 'Wasn't expecting to be, but that is a color that's going to look great on and really bring out my eyes. For some crazy reason, I'm starting to get back into pink, after sort of swearing off of it the past few years. I think it'll be up there with Quick Sizzle - a little lighter, but darker than Pink Pigeon, which I'm still very mixed about after all this time.

Sweet Experience looks like Flamingo or Betty Bright. Those are great colors, but I'm covered for now (I also have Razzledazzler and Jazzed). Red Balloon is yet another one of those pink reds that always run pink on me. They're always flattering colors, but I never reach for them much. Impassioned and Love Goddess ought to do for now, and there's always So Good Mineralize, which is very lovely and perm too! Toying Around is like Ablaze to my eye, or maybe Scarlet Ibis. Again, great color for me, but I'm already covered. This collection will be great for folks that missed out on some of the big bright hits of the past few years.

No glosses for me, but I'm still curious about the Casual Colors - I pulled my original ones out lately and have been enjoying how they're simple and easy.

All very good points! My initial reaction is that I want at least 3 of them, but I probably have similar colors.

I really like the look of sweet experience! I will have to see more swatches before ccommitting to it.
Me too! Surprisingly, it looks a lot warmer than I originally thought, but that would be a nice change! I can't really pull off the cool baby pinks like Silly or Steady Going (although I try--haha!). Am hoping that it is a bit warmer for once!

Love to hear your thoughts Liba! Thank you! I have all of the above comparative lipsticks you mention, so I guess I am covered as well! Am still going to swatch in store and see, because I love my fuchsia and corals (and I would love for sweet experience to be warmer and not so neon), but this is definitely worth thinking about!
