Karen and SN Staff,
Thank you for yet another gorgeous collection!!!! I want EVERYTHING!
I saw that the perfumes and the scrub bars are LE (is there anything else that I missed?). Are these going to be like the gumballs that I should snap them up NOW, or is there enough that I could wait a couple of weeks before ordering?
Thanks again for your hard work! I'm going to have a ton of fun shopping and trying out all of these fun new products.

My best advice on anything that is LE, get it soonish if it is something you really want.

I had a question about Cerise. The description says red with no shimmer...but the swatch from "Sugar" shows Cerise as more of a medium pink with shimmer. Am I totally missing something??

Sheer red usually ends up looking pink in arm swatches on fair gals (you know, red plus white.....

) The end color of a sheer product is always dependent on the color that is under it. If your lips tend brownish, then it will show up as brownish lips with a sheer wash of reddish tone. I would guess that Cerise is kind of on the pink side of red by looking at the swatch. Once I get it, I will be able to give more information on it. If you want red-red, you will likely be happier with a lipstick, as those are much more opaque and block out much more of the natural lip color.
It is incredibly hard to get an accurate swatch for lip colors when they are not on lips.....and we all have such differing lip colors and skintones, that lip swatches of sheer lip products aren't really all that helpful, either. We aim to give some idea of the shade, but that is about all we can offer at this point.

Thank you, Jen!! I wasn't trying to sound critical--well, except of my own powers of observation.

I totally understand the differences in skin-swatches and how it will look on different lips.
I'm pasty-white, so it might be a bit too red on me--but it sure is a gorgeous color!!

Good morning!!
@ErinL- yes, Cerise is crazy red, but that's what makes it fun IMHO- totally not a color for everyone, or for everyday, but fun to pull out on special occasions.
The video is finally live- I thought it would be an easy way of showing the colors, but it turned out that it takes about 3 hours to upload a 2 minute HD video (the upload speeds at my house aren't that great). I embedded them into the product descriptions if you scroll down it's there.
Here's the link to the swatch video:
