Yeah, I don't know what I was smoking... It was still in my shopping cart too it turns out, and I ended up buying it. I do have sparkle and some clear gloss too, so we'll see

I've just received Rapture and ahhhh how wonderful it is! The tone and shade of pink are so perfectly neutral and flattering. I've looked for this colour for as long as I can remember - it's timeless. I admit, it's my own fault - I love the informality of sheer glosses, so I haven't really explored these richer lip creams and it is very much my loss. I'm so glad to have found this before it sells out. I don't often get the chance to sport a formal look, but Rapture is my ideal colour for looking polished.
It's not too bright, pale, bold, soft... not "too" anything, it's pitched just right and I really hope this exact colour comes back whether in lip cream form or otherwise. It's be a Black Label lippy to die for! Big thumbs up!

i noticed rapture is still on the site? If you can get it, I recommend it. I know you have bold lips and i really love this one. It goes great with seedy too if you happen to have that one. On my lips, it's a very sophisticated deep velvety look- like a gorgeous alternative to statement red. I think you'd really enjoy it.
*edit* I just realized i had skipped over the post where you ordered it. Let me know if you love it as much as i do! lol

Yes, I'm happy to report that I like Rapture

It has more sophistication and depth than Swept Away, and it's working nicely. I'm also redoing my foundation mix, and today I gave myself a sort of 20's look with a bold lip and porcelain skin
I've been experimenting with it, layering it with Sparkle and Precious, and it's quite captivating. I also have some random clear gloss to top it with and make it look quite fab. I'll try with Seedy too, thanks!
I wore it today with Pretty Plum as blush - which else would you recommend? How about eye shadows? I could imagine it with something a bit dark but just single wash or just some perked up neutrals?

OK, so maybe this is not the best photo to show how sophisticated Rapture is, but heck, here you go (shows up kinda darker than in the original photo, not sure why):

Wearing a bit of Seedy over Rapture, but mostly the latter. Foundation is a crazy mix, so I omit that

Cheeks: Pretty Plum, eyes: Sandy all over lid with Bargain Pink in the outer corner. And that's my girlfriends chest in a pretty outfit - who btw was just recently converted to SN and is loving it. I recommended the new olive bas for her too.
