Re: Let's chat about lipgloss...

Ooh hope I'm not too late. To be honest, I think Karen's current lippies smell yummy but I live in a crazy hot country and some days I just can't face something sweet and vanilla smelling. So my ideal flavour is peppermint or a light berry - sweetness optional. I love the formula of the sheer kisser...

Re: Some quick questions...

Regarding the gel moisturiser - gel based and gel are not quite the same. Gel based are moisturisers that provide a suspension for oil based emoliants. Gel moistursers are largely clear and contain no oils while pure aloe vera gel alone works great for most - it doesn't seem to do the business for m...

Re: Some quick questions...

Any chance of a gel moisturiser? I have very oily skin and live in a humid country and absolutely worship ~H2O+'s Face Oasis but gosh dran the blue stuff's pricey! Clinique's DDMG isn't bad either but not as hydrating. Plain Aloe Vera gel doesn't cut it for me either - tends to make my skin oily and...

Re: Question about lotion bars...

I'm with Jen! Was thinking of tins like Vaseline tins, but a deo stick would be good too. It would be great while travelling for those of us who strive not to check luggage in as it would circumvent the liquid rules. =D

Pressing medium

I tried a pressing medium from Fyrrinae and for one blessed minute I had the most gorgeous custom-made palette of SN shadows - until it crumbled at the first touch of a brush. I tried water, I tried alc, I tried MORE water and MORE alc... nothing worked. Please Karen, invent a pressing medium in a p...

Re: FOTD's- Share your pics!

LOL pinkpomelo you won't regret it! I really loved it so much I was thrilled when Karen duped it. There's a review / comparison on my blog between the original colour and the dupe. I still get endless compliments on it and I have one with me all the time.

Viva Glam I

I've heard amazing things about the red lippie, Viva Glam I - it's supposed to suit everyone! I know Karen has a soft spot for red lipsticks. Clone this for us, pretty pretty please?

Re: Gelled Oils?

Hi Egerandi, I'm no Karen, but I believe that the serums perform best when applied alone and directly onto bare skin. I think the delicate ingredients may get affected by the foundation, or have their ability to sink into the skin compromised if you mix it. Also I like to think of my skin greedily l...

Re: Kiss Bliss Demi Glosses

Huzzah! I love the reformulated lipglosses. They feel plumper, smoother, and lighter. Plus they don't sink into my lip lines as easily. =D Go Karen, go!

Re: FOTD's- Share your pics!

Hi Shirin, Ooh this is a hard one for me. Very Berry is indeed a very cool shade, but the deeper raspberry undertones really suit me. Bloom is lighter in shade, but it does have peachy undertones. When swatched side by side, Very Berry is cooler. I think the best I can say is that Bloom is a light p...
