I got my order today and am very surprised to say that my favorite out of the bunch is St. Tropez. I normally can't stand liquid wands but the color and texture of this one is very nice. It's the nude pink I've been looking for - kinda like if Modern Poet and Summer Fling had a baby - and it smells and tastes pretty nice too.
I really like the texture of the other two but they're so sheer, I feel like I may as well just use lip balm.
Stockholm is very pretty in the tube; the color reminds me of a cross between Winter Rose (deep plummy pink color) and Black Dahlia (the swirly plum and gold texture and complexity of it) but on my lips, it's surprisingly the sheerness of Ice Princess. So if you're looking for a toned down, sheer version of the dramatic plum glosses, it's great! - But on me, I definitely need more opacity.
On the other hand, this sheerness makes Barcelona a peachy red that I might actually be able to wear. Reds normally make me look like a clown/hooker/geisha and vibrant peachy pinks like Best Friend settle into the little lines in my lips and clash with the dark color, but Barcelona doesn't do that. I'm still undecided about what I would wear it for, but it can't hurt to have a peachy red in my purse/makeup bag, right?
