Oh my my . . . now I have to put Blaze in my cart
Thanks for the description!
This morning I layered Provoke with Blushberry. It was one of those
moments when you know you have discovered something good. The result is a truly gorgeous rose color. I will be wearing this blend often.

Oh, that sounds like an intriguing combo, I must try it!
As for Blaze, just played with it again, and yes, nice ripe peach (very little pink, if any) with lots of gold. It *may* turn or look red on some, but I don't consider it red or orange. It's like a darker and warmer version of Mirabelle.

Lovely, lovely!!! (Although I've yet to see a color that doesn't look wonderful on you!!!
)
I just ordered Allure...I am excited to try it. I should have gotten Eden also, but I didn't really need any more lipglosses.

Lovely, all of them! Wistaria is one of my (actually, my favorite) pinks, glad you liked it
Tell me, is your Provoke the same as my Provoke?

No, it's very different. Here's a swatch:
My Provoke is left and yours is right

Thank you so much everyone. I love the ALG formula so much, I want to get more ALGs!
My favorites so far are probably Fanfare and Bon Bon, but really I like them all a lot.

I completely agree! Very Pretty!
Provoke makes the green in your eyes pop.
Thanks for posting such nice pictures. My latest SN splurge should arrive tomorrow. I am looking forward to Allure

Hi Oxana, chiming in here with love for Blaze ALG. I am as fair as you, but I think maybe more warm(yellow) toned. Blaze is MY red. But it isn't a *get in your face, look at me* kind of red. By itself it is just a gorgeous peachy red with gold shimmer, and it is incredibly flattering. Layered over Roxie lip stain, it's more of a tomato red.
The ALG are by far my favorite SN lippie formulation, and so glad Karen has expanded the line! I love the way Nice Tan looks on you...I probably need to throw it on my wish list!
Have fun with your haul!
