Re: Holiday Collection....

New ALGs would be great, there are too many cool pinks and warm oranges and I would like to see more reds and "earthy" colours like "sultry". :)

Re: Valentine's Day Collection

I second the request for more Black Label lippies, I would actually love a sheer colour in "smooth-and-full" formula, the one with the plumper.
And ALGs, of course: sheer creamy/matte finish in natural-looking MLBB colours!

Re: The Cream Foundation Thread

I purchased Deep Ebony starter kit a few years ago, but then realized that I should have gone for Ebony instead - had to use too much Ivory to get the right depth... The final result was just fine in terms of undertone, so I suppose Ebony is a closer match for me than the N cream foundation.

Re: The Cream Foundation Thread

I got samples of N40 and N50 and I have to say that I really loved the texture and coverage as well as the portability of the full size stick! I would be more than excited if the colour match was as good, but N40 was a tiny bit lighter (although pretty close) than my complexion, while N50 was too or...

Re: GMOs

Being a geneticist I feel compelled to add a few comments, not as an expression of personal opinion, just as food for thought: :geek: 1. The vast majority of agricultural produce (organic or not) has in fact been genetically modified at some point in the past to satisfy the growing demand for qualit...

Re: Holiday 2013...is live!!!

Congratulations Karen, such a wonderful collection! :o I got greedy and placed a gigantic order - just had to have it all! Thanks for the 7% discount - I was pleasantly surprised to see that it applies to shipping as well, so it's an opportunity for the international customers to stock-up on new tre...

Re: Topical vitamin D?

There are in fact several reasons for our skin to look worse in the winter (e.g. low humidity, winds, central heating, hot baths/showers, lower liquid consumption, limited physical activity, dietary changes...), vitamin D deficiency may be just one of the many contributors, considering that UV radia...

Re: Let's talk about Holiday...

So excited to dip into the holiday atmosphere! The first thing that comes to mind - a box of chocolates! Think of a solid "all-purpose" balm (for face, body, lips and even hair) with cocoa butter and real high-quality chocolate! Add some ceramide-rich oils (e.g. rice bran, wheat-germ et c....

Re: ALG's for Holiday....

Just a little comment about "more mintyness": I do like mint - it's refreshing, healing and stimulating; however in high concentrations it can dry-out and irritate the skin, so balance is key here. ALG's tingle is just right and this may be one of the reasons it's so well loved. As it is n...

Re: ALG's for Holiday....

I noticed that most ALGs are either "pinky/plummy-cool" or "orangey-warm", while the neutrals are essentially sheer nudes. I would love a rich, "cosy" neutral (but not nude) colour: a brick red with a hint of plum and maybe a little bit of pink... With a warmth that com...
