I second Egerandi's requests for a blush mixing medium, and liner foiling gel too :) .

Not too sure about colours at the moment, but what about a brush kit? I have several SN brushes that I consider to be indispensable - the ultimate e/s brush, crease brush, fiber optic for starters - and personally brushes are something I am always more apprehensive to buy because of the cost (although SN prices are definitely great, they are still pricier than a shadow or blush) although they make all the difference for product application, so would make a great gift.

Will pop back later once I've got some more ideas! :lol:

It came up a few times, and I just mentioned it in another thread, but a set of liner colors would be really cool. Nobody will ever use up the full size, and Jen mentioned that they may have to be tossed way before that, so perhaps a smaller amount of the liners in a kit would work great?

Kits are alwasy fun and makes it easier to buy gifts. Perhaps we should start a thread that includes kits of already existing items? Someone suggested a 'club kit' or something: smokey eyes and nude lippies?

I would love to see mixing mediums for blushes and more of that liner mixer (works great for foiling)!

More stains, please! Make them multipurpose if possible, so they can be used on lips and cheeks :)
Egerandi: You read my post! :D :D I suggested the "club Kit"-Yes, Dramatic eyes, neutral blush and nude lips!

I would also love to see a "Glowing and Glamorous" kit with all the SN glows in small sizes for a limited time! - can you tell I love glows? Or even some new glows??

AND...how about an SN best sellers kit with a perfecting powder, some eyeshadows and a lippie?

Oh one more...

Blush kits:

A few pinky blushes in one kit

Some coral colours in another

Earthy ones...

Or blush kit for warm/cool skintone!


ok last one...

I also want to see a pale pink blush. I know that's been requested by several gals lately and I think it'd be just perfect for a holiday collection.

I'm thinking that some lip care kits would be awesome - sugar scrub, black label clear lippie, and maybe 1-2 colors like Sparkle or Modern Poet (they should be new colors though) that everyone could wear. Or, you could offer it in warm shades and cool shades.

Ummmm how about a men's kit? You could do labels for the skincare in a special edition version. You could put in a lip balm, and sample sizes of cleanser and moisturizer. I'm guessing the BHA toner would work as an aftershave?

I'm pretty satiated on things right now but products I see myself buying for holiday/January are: Sparkle, Crystal perfecting glow, and a light pink blush if you create one.

And if there were new flavors of black label clear lippie... well, you could bet I'd buy one of those. I like sweet flavors that remind me of desserts... lemon custard, almond cookie, stuff like that.

Hand lotion (scented) in a purse size. Body/hair glow (scented) in a purse size spray bottle. Strawberry complexion mist travel size. THE PURSE KIT! I don't know what else you'd put in it... but I am sure you will think of something.

And regarding Jamie's teen kit, I would like to buy kits for my high school SIL and college age cousin. They are both sort of emo/alternative in makeup taste so could you pretty please put together some colors for that set? The bright/fun kit? I know you may be thinking of a "tween" kit with sheer stuff that younger girls can wear but will you also consider making a "fun" kit for teens?

I was thinking maybe within the holiday collection, have 2 mini/complimentary/flipped collections because the holidays have 2 very distinct parts: the bundled up, I'm freezing (thought not so much for me over here in CA! lol), I can see my breath, wearing 500 layers, and then theres the its the holidays! i'm going to wear my my dress and high heels and i don't care how cold it is part. I think it would be great it the collection could address both! Maybe a day and night theme, day being the snow bunny look many people have brought up with frosted shades and night being similar to maybe the MAC magic,mirth,mischief collection, a bolder, more of a night out type look. Maybe a few e/s, a blush (or two!) and a lippie/stain for each look...Just my two cents!
YES! This is perfect! "Baby it's cold outside" vs. "Chestnuts roasting on an open fire", cool and warm. I get it, and I love it. All those sheer pink blushes and frosty colors for daytime and then you can add some dramatic shades for the nighttime parties and going out.

I really like the idea of a men's kit, my boyfriend has been at my raspberry moisturiser - grr! Some kind of scrubby/moisturising kit would be great too - especially for feet now it's getting to the gross feet time of year hehe

My number one request - Symphony Black Label. I NEED it. I am not above kissing boots and grovelling. Sincerest please. I have never enjoyed a colour more, not even my beloved Idolize. I'm not joking either. Please.

This may be the most boring suggestion of all time but I'm desperate for a pale matte eyeshadow - specifically the colour of SIAJ Extra Light Peach but thicker as an eyeshadow. Papyrus is too dark and the tone is wrong for my skin. No shimmer / pearl / sheen pleeeeease.

I'd love teeny weeny amounts of the coloured cream eyeliner in a mini palette form - I really don't care if it's packaged as droplettes on plastic, it doesn't have to be beautiful, but really small amounts are less guilt-inducing to buy and less likely to be wasted. Maybe, just maybe, they'll get someone to discover a colour they love and buy a f/s (not all of them have samples).

I'd still love the tone on tone jewel liners - eyeshadow powder in the densest texture (like Basalt) but done in the style of GWP Thriller - with the same colour bright shimmer / glitter as the base colour. Again, maybe 3g jar or even smaller amounts for infrequent use.

For re-releases, I'd dearly love Rich blush, Strawberries and Champagne blush, Rhonda lippy and Creamsicle eyshadow.

How about a Gold Sparkle? Clear gloss with a gold frost (like the gold in Sprite)? Make it a Black Label and I'd buy a bucketful.
