I was just wondering, does anyone know what might be a subtle red I could try? I was thinking Sweetheart or Bitten. I really only like sheers, but I think I read somewhere that some of the sheers have more pigment and have to be applied lightly. Could someone explain the difference between the two, pretty please!

SweetBecka...
I think Impulsive was a possible reformulation of the lipsticks. Samples went out, but Karen wanted to tweak the formula a little from there. If you liked the color, we might need to put it on the wishlist.

Devlyn-
Sweetheart and Bitten are kind of simmilar....Sweetheart is a little more pinky red and has a shimmer.

I got my first order today! Of the glosses breathless is the best on me, I also got pout and sweet nothing. My gloss wishlist based on swatches and forum reading and liking breathless looks like this:

Aria
Centerfold
Precious
Berry Crush
Birthday Suit
Cultured

Comments? Which ones am I more apt to like if I like breathless? I'm fairly sold on Precious and Cultured...but the list isn't *that* long so I could just get them all....Also if there is a more sheer version of breathless I have to have it so please do let me know! Thanks for any guidance. :)

Berry Nice and Infatuation are along the same lines as Breathless but a bit more berry/plum colour. Skinny Dip and Sweet Nothing are also similar, but more on the brown side - they all have a good hit of pink in them, though. So whichever you like it for, those are all relatively within the same range.

You might also like Whirlwind - I got a sample of that and while it's more of a rose/mauve than pink, it's a very pretty shade, and again - about the same level of pigmentation - with a tiny bit of shimmer.

Thanks Rhys!

I woke up in the middle of the night/early morning and was shocked that my lips felt creamy and moisturized! Usually I wake up and my lips are dry. I've never had this experience with any lip gloss. Makes me want to throw all the others away!!

I might have to buy piles of these glosses. And I haven't even tried black label yet! :lol: :lol: :lol:
