I really have to give it to Karen this time (LIE. It's EVERYTIME. LOL).

Sounds like you've decided its a keeper!
Dang, I guess I will have to spend my money on another ;) Especially since mine is half gone!

I am posting a new Wish List thread asking for other colors in this formula. I think it is fabulous!

Well, whatever leads to JOY is worth the cost, right? :P

Need to update.

This baby does STAY ALL NIGHT & DAY. I can vouch for that. I put it on before leaving home for lunch (greasy, lip-smacking good Chinese) and a shopping-spree (I love day-off!!). Went to a friend's house for a game of poker at night (with tortilla chips, cheese, cigarettes and a lot of drinking). Went to a birthday party afterwards (again, with lots of cigs and boozes) and snoozed right away when my body touched my bed. Woke up this morning with still VIVID Combustion on my lips. I looked like Joker alright, with smudgy black liners and red lips, but that means that Combustion just doesn't stray.
I did re-apply a few times throughout the day (and night), but basically it's just to re-intensify the gloss and amp up the opacity a bit.

Amazing job Karen. I think you should add a slogan for Combustion in the description section.
Combustion. "It stays, don't strays"

Combustion is singlehandedly the most unique and flattering red I've gotten in a long time...and to think that I was hesitating in buying it! AMAZING shade, lasts so long...I can't even put into words how much I love this lipstick.

Any chance of seeing a picture with one of you ladies wearing it? It sounds amazing, but I'm a wimp with bright colours.

Also, for those who have them, how are Kindle and Allure? I like the description of Allure (warm medium peach) but the pictures look like more of a pink plummy colour to me..

I don't have a photo of me wearing Allure or Combustion, but I can give you one maybe a little bit later. I can swatch them for you. I am a real golden tan, so Allure looks like a true warm medium peach on me. It's nowhere near "pink" or even "plummy". I don't have Kindle, though.
