Gumball Lippie Discussion Thread

[ega]

Does anyone still have the descriptions? I am gifting mine to a friend and wanted to send her a copy of all the info.

Not the complete descriptions, but some info is in the "New gumballs are up" thread: http://host.silknaturals.com/forum/view ... nfo#p22826

What I find immensely helpful is pictures! Pictures of what you'd like is cool, but ideally pictures of YOU would be immensely helpful! I don't actually know what most of you look like...so it's kind of taking a stab in the dark. If you don't want to post directly to the forum, you could always friend SN on Facebook and I can checkout your profile pics! I don't send friend requests to customers as it feels a bit pushy, but I'm happy to be your facebook friend. Just search for Silk Naturals and friend us.

Thank you so much for your input Karen, and for being so open to suggestions and making products that work for such a wide range of people! Point taken about the pics, I've been guilty of not uploading pics to the forum, not because I don't want my pic on the net, but because I just forget! I do have a FB and fanned the new SN page as well as friended the old FB SN account you don't have control over, is there another SN FB page you had in mind?

I uploaded a pic in the FOTD thread wearing (among other things) Temptation with Gleaming layered over it. I think it's my new favorite combo!

There's a pink dye that I use in some of the colors, and I think it "blooms" on some folks. From what I'm gathering here, the following are the most likely to turn pink on you if you have the tendency to experience this phenomenon: Centerfold, Bloom, Berry Nice, Birthday Suit, Caramel, Damsel, Modern Poet, Mirabelle and Rapture.

Of those I've tried Centerfold, Bloom, Birthday Suit, Caramel, and Modern Poet. I own all but Bloom (gave that one away it was so pink!) and Birthday Suit (it just looked awful for some reason). They do all bloom pink on me. Thankfully since Centerfold, Caramel, and Modern Poet are so neutral already, the bit of pink doesn't make them look over the top pink, so I can still wear them! They definitely do go pinkish though...when Modern Poet did it I was so surprised because it's such a pale color that doesn't look pink!

All the others I have pink problems with I think comes down to just skintone and lip color/pigmentation if they don't have a common color ingredient. And that's okay, there are always others out there happy with them and I don't expect to be able to wear every lippie you come out with! Can't wait to try the new colors!

Barcelona is really growing on me. I like it a lot. IDK if it is the plumper or simply the texture of the gloss, but both the color and texture look amazing.

I have used Barcelona nonstop ever since I got the products (so that's at least, you know, several days! ) and on my lips the formula works wonderfully. It does not dry out my lips whatsoever, in fact I find that I have to reapply much less often with the new formula than with the regular Kisser Slicker formula. I guess it's the butters that stay on the lips longer or something like that, but my normally so dry lips feel very moisturized throughout the day with Barcelona. I can't wait to try more butter cream lippies, although most of the colors seem too bright, too dark or too cool for me. Honeysuckle might do the trick though!

I thought I'd go for a St Tropez look yesterday but maybe it is a touch too cool for me or maybe it just didn't really go too well with the rest of my makeup but I ended up putting on Barcelona after an hour. Still think St Tropez is gorgeous though and love the texture!

I love the plumping effect of barcelona, the colour is not that great for me but I sleep in it and my lips look so lush and full and smooth in the morning! If more colours were available I would totally buy it. I hate the standard kind of plumper, it makes my lips look like fish lips, and kind of red and irritated, but this is much nicer, it just makes me look like I have been drinking lots of water and kissing all day
I would like a clear version, but if there was a coloured version (maybe something like St Tropez? Everyone seems to love that. Or a bright red? I would love that) I would definitely buy that as well.

Lily, have you ever used the Smooth and Full- Black Label Lip Treatment? If not, you may want to give it a try. It has the Black Label base (which I love btw) plus the exact same plumping ingredient as Barcelona - but Smooth and Full is clear.

[lilychemgirl]

Really? I have smooth and full, and I didn't notice the same plumping effect. Maybe I need to try again.

I did not think the butter cream lippies were the plumping ones , please correct me if I'm wrong. But glad to know that they did do that for you.

The Barcelona that was released as a gumball had the plumping ingredient in it so we could all test it out. This batch of lippies including Barcelona which has been released for sale does not contain the plumping ingredient as Karen is still awaiting feedback about it's efficacy. hth
