SN vs EDM glosses

[lairkeeper]

This is very bad news for my wallet...lol. I'm sitting here fidgeting waiting for Fig Leaf to get to me and I just ordered today...lol. Poor Karen. We'll end up requesting so many colors she'll want to kill us.

My order shipped today. I am soooooo happy since I ordered at about 3am Saturday SN time! I probably won't see it until December given CP's huge backlog. I'm calling it my Christmas present to myself! Of course I will be ordering again to get the men's kit and liner kit.. and I now have in store credit.. uh oh!

I got Precious and Copper Rose in the mail today, and I'm very glad that they hardly have any taste or smell, which is perfect for me. I'll be certainly getting more lipglosses, since I like them very much. Thank you SN!

Would anyone know what would be a close match to EDM's Bamboo? I love, love the colour of that one for a warm look but the texture just leaves a lot to wish for, so I would love to get a similar colour.

Could you post a swatch? I checked a youtube video, but you can't really tell, other than it's a coral-y.

Agnes-
Confession time.....I did own a few EDM lippies (Cherry Fizz, Cozy Night, Soccer Practice, and Bamboo-the more pigmented one) at one time or other....What can I say? I am a lippie addict. I no longer have them for side by side comparison, but my memory is pretty good when it comes to color. The ones that we have that are close are Maiden and Caramel. Caramel is more peachy, Maiden is more pink.

Hi, I'm wondering exactly how moisturizing the lip glosses are. I'm mainly looking at the organic sheers. Would it be worse than, equal to, and better than say, a tube of soft lips? Are the black label ones better? Just asking because I'm more of a clear moisturizing balm type of girl and don't want to order so many then find out they're not moist enough. Also, in your opinions, what is the prettiest sheerest reddish or berry color? I'm looking at bitten, berry nice, and raindrops on roses and am undecided. Emphasis on sheer and least pigmented

They're all sheer. Berry Nice and Raindrops on Roses are more cool-toned if that helps any, and slightly sheerer than Bitten - or it could just be that Bitten's a true red, even though it's sheer. Tender is a really nice pinky-brown that seems to suit most skin tones, and is also very sheer.

The Black Labels are the most moisturising, but before Karen came up with those, lots of ladies used to wear lipgloss to bed just for the moisture. None of the organics are dry or sticky. The vegan ones seem a little more drying and crumbly to me but they're still miles ahead of EDM lippies (I used to own a few, too, but I tossed them a couple of years ago, so I can't much help with colour matches, I'm afraid).

If you want no colour and lots of moisture, then pick up a clear Black Label. Though you'll probably be pleasantly surprised by how wearable SN lippies are. The only halfway decent one I had before SN was MAC's Lychee (I'd still like a clone), but that was just because of the colour. It felt like glue on - definitely didn't want to drive with the top down wearing that!

Now I've got 30+ that are good colour matches.

(We're all lippie addicts - at least anyone who's been here more than a month or so ).

[AgnesONutter]

Ingenue looks like a close match, at least when comparing the swatch I've made in real life (no camera at the moment, sadly, to show you). I think I'll try that, since I need an everyday peachy lippie.

Can anyone tell me how moisturizing the SN lip balms are? They aren't thick/hard to apply/waxy like "Chapsticks" or EDM ones, right? I found the edm ones to be so hard to apply and the texture was just gross.

I'm hoping that they're similar in texture, smoothness, and glide-ability to the Kisser Slickers

All the new flavored balms for the Holidays.... ooooh!!
