I'd love for the AHA & BHA toners to be in gel form, like the moisturizers.

More matte or satin eye shadows please! I prefer them over the shimmery ones.

IDK - OMG!! :lol: I adore this colour - just got it a few mins ago in my MAC package and it's love at first sight. The Fire-like shimmer over soft grey illuminates my tired blue eyes and washed out skin. It lights me up. It's remarkable.

Shantung - polished, classy, elegant. Loving this. It's how grown-ups do a pearly highlighter. 8-)

Adding my name to the long list requesting very sheer lippies in super bright hint-of-a-tint colours (no shimmer please for these as there are already shimmer overlay lippies and shimmer doesn't work for everyone). Blue based pinks and red for whiter smiles, but acid oranges and juicy watermelon colours are so much fun too.

I've got to ask - please bring back Seedy. :cry: It's just the little bit more muted than Berry Nice and easier to wear. It was perfect for me as my casual lippy (Symphony is my dress-up HG lippy).

Earth - (and Shantung) - wearing these together made me shelf my shimmers. Temporarily, of course. I haven't found anything with quite such an impeccable lady-like finish elsewhere in mineralia. Admittedly, a lot of mineralia concentrates on playful colours. A new line of staples with a texture finish like Earth, etc. would be must-owns.

Finally... additional flavours for the clear Black Label lip balms. Much as I like the flavours of the newer balms, the BLs are beloved and in another league for moisture, comfort and sheer indulgence. Using the new balms on their own for a few weeks, my lips got into their old withered pre-SN state. Maybe it's ageing, maybe it's a harsh seaboard climate, but I actually need something as rich as the BLs or I end up needing medicated lip cream to prevent cracking. I'll be a BL customer for life, so more flavours aren't necessary but would be appreciated.

Thanks 'n' hugs x

I love SWAK and Nova.

And the entire universe probably knows that I want to see Rhonda come back.

Oh, yes, please, me too. I keep trying Berry Nice, but it's just not the same. Seedy is my first SN love, and yeah, I will never forget my first love :)

Hey Karen

I think the following GWP would be fantastic for spring:
shamrock - fantastic foiled (FYI: this is an early GWP)
Candid - a must for spring
Shantung - this is a fantastic luxury texture e/s
Truly lippie - this is an excellent colour lippie to match blush 'be mine'
Thriller - this could 'totally' be a spring colour right.................right (yeah me a broken record and I bet you're doing this right now Karen :roll:

What I would love to see for spring is:
A light purple/mauve blush - I think with the right shade it would look great on anyone :D
More teal, green and blue e/s

I'm all about the eyeshadow

thanks karen for asking for our input, you rock!!!!!
Foundation: 1: baggie 6: ebony: 7 glow
Fav blush: Steller
Fav Lippie: Symphony
Fav combo: cream 1st half of lid, 09:59 2nd half, chocolate twinkle in the crease with Blackheart over it blended out and vanillia on brow bone.

I'd personally like to see the return of some cream blushes. I don't know how it happened, but I only found out about Loverly & Wonderful after they had vanished from the site! :( Also, could we have refill baggies of the Ultimate Luxury powder? That stuff rocks! :D

extemter wrote:A lippie with physical sunblock would be great. I trust that Karen would formulate it so that it (1) doesn't have a white cast, (2) spreads easily and has an elegant slip (unlike most sunblock lippies that are impossibly thick and dry to spread), (3) moisturizes, and (4) is universally flattering in color. Am I asking for too much?!? :D

I would also buy toners -- either concentrates or pH balanced (to support the skin's acid mantle, not neutral at pH 7).

In an unsolicited effort to help out Karen:
-lwoodall10 posted photos of Korres #18 Peach Lipstick and Giorgio Armani #600 Rouge d’Armani Lipstick (just in case Temptalia disables hotlinking).
-StargirlDi requested a clone of Urban Decay's Alice in Wonderland palette. With the exception of Homegrown, the palette consists of all permanent colors that were re-named for the promo.

Underland (Flash) - bright iridescent purple
Alice (Painkiller) - turquoise shimmer
Oraculum (Baked) - rich bronze
Queen (Last Call) - plum punch
Chessur (Chopper) - coppery fawn w/ silver microglitter
White Rabbit (Polyester Bride) - white w/ silver *glitter*
Wonderland (Maui Wowie) - medium gold w/ silver *glitter*
Curiouser (Grifter) - sheer lavender w/ lots of silver microglitter
Muchness (X) - gold w/ sheer peach tint
Mushroom (Mushroom) - dark taupe with bronze shimmer
Midnight Tea Party (Midnight Cowboy Rides Again) - golden beige w/ bronze, gold & silver *glitter *
Vorpal (S&M) - bright metallic silver
Absolem (Homegrown) - grassy green
Drink Me Eat Me (Sin) - champagne
Mad Hatter (Twice Baked) - dark brown w/ gold *glitter*
Jabberwocky (Oil Slick) - black with silver *glitter*

I have emphasized glitter because Urban Decay is serious about their glitter. It's chunky cosmetic glitter -- not sparkly calcium aluminum borosilicate, not simply shimmery mica -- I repeat, it's glittaaaaaah. (Haha, I had way too much fun writing that sentence.)
Heh, thanks extemter! I could do without the chunks of glitter too. Just the vibrant colours...
