Kiss Bliss Lippies

[Rhys]

Restraint went out the window, at least as far as budget allows - I've now got Capricious, Fearless, and samples of the bronzers and Petal blush on the way, to go with the already on the way XOXO, Mesmerised, Grace, and Tickled Pink.

Six out of nine isn't bad it is? They're on sale, after all! Ack, I should just give up!

You won't be sorry, Rhys!!! Capricious, Grace, & yes,Fearless are living & being loved at my house! I'd whittled my order & REALLY *need to* wait a few weeks before grabbing any more of *any*thing. Vet appt for BOTH cats tonight (their yearly; we'll ALL be traumatized!) & then off to pick up my new glasses. Budget's blown, big time!

well.. Rhys.. i think i'm slightly worse than ya.. 7 out of 9 without even knowing how they would feel on my lips!

after looking at how they look on some.. i do believe that they're really value for the money!

[Rhys]

Nah, it's okay, I'm a shameless enabler myself - nearly as bad as Mikie

I think I've got almost everything from the old collection, though a few blushes only made it to the 'sample' phase (more than adequately made up for by full sizes of five of the first-wave MOAC ones, though), and all but about half-a-dozen of the pre-second wave eyeshadows (70 or so? pretty close, anyway), well over 20 lippies already (I did stay away from the very warm shades), plus foundation, and three of the Perfecting Powders. A couple of the old makeup bags, too, and almost all the brushes in duplicate. And the glows. Three full-size, and wanting at least one more. Samples of all, natch

I know they'll be great. Capricious might be too warm, but if it is, it'll find a nice home somewhere. When I was in America, I found these weird little eyebrow shaver things (only in the US ). But they're the perfect size to slice just a dab off a lippie to try it without contaminating it - so if it doesn't work on me, it'll be great for someone else.

I think I'm also going to be buying grapefruit oil by the quart! Not my fave scent, but I'm sure it can be mixed

what is the consistency of the kiss bliss lippies...? more as a lipstick or gloss type? thanks.

[Rhys]

Best of both world. Shine and emollience like the glosses, pigmentation like the lipsticks. As a couple of people have pointed out they're sort of like the old Lip Kwencher lipsticks - I'm sure I've spelt that wrong, and I can't remember what company made them, but they were great.

I just ordered Capricious! This is my first SN order (probably the first of many if the products are as good as the site).

Will let you know how I like the texture (I am very fussy about that) and the color!

[Rhys]

Somehow I managed to order the rest of them. Bad bad bad. NOT cos the lippies are bad - I have 30 of them now, I think, counting the ones en route.

Chances are you'll love it, Zeebs. I couldn't wear lippies except clear and Mac's Lychee (but it was so sticky it was saved for special occasions only), and now I have over two dozen wearable ones.

Lots of lippie-land addicts around the place.

Welcome!

My list is getting longer...
I have to choose between XOXO and swept away...Which one is better for a cool toned neutral skin....
thanks.

Thanks Rhys! My order was shipped yesterday. I am excited to try the products!! Especially the disco eye shadow

UPDATE-
I got my order today! The Disco eye shadow rocks my world, but it's not as shimmery as I expected from the photo. I want something really glittery (similar to Urban Decay) - any recommendations on that front? The Whisper is nice too but not quite warm enough for my skin tone (it was great to get a free sample! I think it will make a good highlighting color)

I love the blush! Heavenly Glow - was afraid it would be too dark but it gives me that fresh-from-the-ski-slopes kind of flush.

And the Capricious demi-gloss? Holy cow. I was super afraid of it at first because it is so PINK but once it went on and soaked in a smidgen it looked really fantastic, almost coppery on me. I normally hate lipstick and will only wear gloss but I think it has a glossy enough texture that the intense color doesn't bother me. Yay! I recommend it to ladies of all fair-to-medium skin tones.

ANOTHER UPDATE:
After wearing the demigloss for a few days, I must say, I will never go back to any other lip gloss besides SN. It goes on smoothly, and though some of the color rubs off on spoons etc while eating, the color stays for many hours without reapplication. It doesn't bleed outside my lips, even though I don't use lip pencil, and the color is vibrant but not overpowering. LOVE LOVE LOVE.
