Got my order today!

Amour- This is a very pretty berry color on me that makes my teeth look whiter
Beloved- Pretty rose gold.
Delight- This is supposed to be modeled after indulge but to me it looks like a kissbliss version of jaybird or birthday suit
Peach Melba- The perfect sheer wash of peach- the swatch on the site looks brighter than IRL. Great complement for sassy blush (my fav)

Mystic- Soft sweet a little powdery
La Femme- what can i say it smells...feminine. Soft floral
Fresh- A little more tang than i would like but it is a grapefruit scent
Tease- This is my fav. of the 4. It's sweet and delicious

My order arrived today! Mystic is just as wonderful as the sample. I also ordered a full size Fresh based on the description and the jury is still out-- we'll see how it wears. I do have full sizes of the other 2 sitting in my cart waiting for payday at the end of the week based on sniffing the samples, LOL!
I will say I am in love with Beloved. It is GORGEOUS!!! I think this has become my all time favorite of all of Karen's lippies! I almost changed my clothes so I could wear it to my oldest DS's baseball game, but decided to show some restraint so I wouldn't have to hear about it from the DH, LOL!

hey girls!

I'm just wondering if any of your girls could post pictures of side-by-side swatches of delight, jaybird, birthday suit, indulge, skinny dip and bon bon.
I've been eyeing indulge, skinny dip and bon bon for the longest time and delight sounds great because i like the texture of the kiss blisses better than lipstick but xarata said it's more like jaybird+birthday suit and these 2 shades are too dark for me. =(

TIA!

I really do need to swatch the kiss blisses. I'm pretty sure Jen will have time before I will though- I work ALL week long.

I just got my goodies today, and I need opinion regarding Amour. Is yours looked like this or I get a mislabeled item? I was hoping it would be nuder and browner :) . Swatched this alongside Berry Crush and it does looks like the more pigmented version of Berry Crush, which I found that it's the description of Beloved :? .

Left to right: Kiss n Tell, Swept Away, Grace, Divine, Amour

Thanks everyone :)!

I tried to cram everone's requests into this one.
Vely- your color looks right. On me Amour is an amped up version of Birthday Suit and truly a nude, but then my lips are slightly reddish. It looks very different on lips, as do all of them.

omg. thanks so much Jen!! you have no idea how helpful this is..and how suddenly my wishlist expanded!!

Delight definitely look a lot like Indulge. The only difference i see (from the pic) is that Indulge has a 'thicker' texture.

I'm so getting Delight..and Amour..and Beloved..erm..and Skinny Dip.
I'll give BonBon a pass because it looks too sheer and might not show up nicely on my pigmented lips but like you've said, they show differently on diff lips. I just hope they won't turn out to be too dark or too brown because i definitely can't do too brown.

Anyway, thanks a bunch Jen!
