Let's Talk about Spring!

[curlychik]

Oooh, I love these threads... the fact that Karen even asks us is fabulous, and I really enjoy reading what others are hoping to see!

I would also love to have a pink lippie with blue iridescence, that just sounds too cool. And bright but *sheer* lippies are always winners in my book. So, along those lines, something like Lola (!) would be fantastic
And I simply can't get enough of Earth (like a lot of other people!), so I would especially love a khaki or medium (dove?) grey version.

And please please please a gel version of the BHA? maybe even with a higher concentration??

Thanks again for asking Karen, you know we will LOVE anything you introduce

I would love to see Vida hit the permenant line (or be a temporary reissue) as I missed it Next month I am totally putting aside some SN dollars in a seperate account to make sure I get all the GWPs

I would love to see fun lip colors such as:
-a fuchsia with a blue iridescence (saw a color like this in an ad somewhere and it was gorgeous!)
-a purple color, I keep seeing purples everywhere in spring makeup
Also, I'd love to see some light colors, like pastels, lighter than Bloom:
-a light lavender
-a baby pink
-a pale peach

EDIT: I should add that I'd like the lippies to be more opaque than sheer, so the color shows up on my lips more.

I would LOVE a light lavender and pink too! A dupe of that Revlon purple would be awesome! I'm dying for a purple. As for the GWP reissues I would love Amalgam and Elle.
Thank you soooo much Karen for asking!!! You're the best!

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?!?

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...

AGREE!!!

Are you ladies saying if there was a dupe of the Alice in Wonderland you would still want the glitter in the shadows or you would not want it? I think they would be some much better without that super chunky glitter that is only good for getting all over my face. That really turns me off from UD shadows, I like shimmer, but not huge chunks of glitter.
My fave color from US is Shattered(and as a bonus it doesn't have that glitter in it ), I'd love a dupe of that! It's a light blue with gold iridescence, and that makes it look sort of greenish, so pretty!

I understand about not wanting a sunscreen lippie to leave a white cast, but maybe it can be tinted to be like a light pink or light peach, or I'm sure it can even be made into darker tones with dyes. I'd prefer one without dyes though. Sunscreens usually leave a white cast if the titanium dioxide and zinc oxide in it is non micronized. So I guess I'd rather have the lippie be light in color, than have micronized stuff in it and have it be more sheer(cauz I don't want to be eating that stuff, lol).
Also, for the sunscreen lippies, maybe something more waxy than the current lippies would be good, so it lasts longer at the beach or in the pool.

-I don't know who's the woman in the photo cait posted. If somebody tells me who she is, I might be able to identify her lipstick.

Oh, thanks for writing the names of the lipsticks...I meant to do that

What is hotlinking? and am I not supposed to do it?

No glitter. All I get is fallout from the chunky glitter in UD. I usually look like a glitter factory exploded on my face. I love the colors tho.

I would also be into sunscreen lip balm. I would want them to be a neutral or nearly-sheer color.

I usually only get nasty fallout, the WORST I've ever experienced from the glitter UD shades.

From their new line of shadows, I picked up Atmosphere (coz it's a teal, surprise surprise), and there's no fallout for me, which is great. But with my sustainable palette, there's a ton of shades I just don't wear because of that nasty glitter fallout. I do fine with their shades like Sellout, Asphyxia (which isn't pigmented enough so I'm glad for mineral dupes), and Half-baked.

I would LOVE a lippy with spf, color doesn't matter because I can always put lipstick on top. I have a balm with SPF but I don't like it as well as the other lippies I have.

I know that I already posted a few pages ago, but I have to sumbit a request for an orange lippie.
Someone requested one over on another thread, and it got me itching to try one. So this morning while I was trying out some Palace blush I dipped my lip balm in and WOW! It looks amazing!
I have lips that are very pigmented so just about everything turns out my-lips-but-redder or pinker. This was totally different though. It actually showed up a nice deep orange and really seemed to brighten up my entire face. (I'm not entirely sure if Palace is concidered lip safe, I checked the igredients and nothing jumped out at me, but it would be a lot more convienent to have an actually lippie in this shade.)
Thank you so much Karen for asking for our input! It is so thoughtful of you.

I know it's been mentioned before, but an eyeliner palette would be cool. I just saw the pic of an idea for what one could look like in the Holiday thread: http://host.silknaturals.com/forum/view ... 555#p20555 and it looks awesome!
