I'd also like to see a fuscia lippie with a blue sheen. Purple/lavender lippies would be nice, too. How about some pearly pastel eyeshadows (pink, lavender, peach/champagne, blue, mint green...), maybe with a little bit of a duochrome sheen (if that's possible)? (Vegan formulas in all of these would be awesome!!)

I agree with lilychemgirl: I'd like to see a lotion with zinc in it. And along that lines, I'd LOVE a black label lippie with 5-8% zinc that I could use knowing it would provide a little sun protection.

Pretty please!!!

I forgot about the GWP question too- would love to see Vida permanent, it's very unique and super wearable

pH balanced toner!
anti-aging eye cream!
please oh please oh please.

although i am not running out of any of these...the GWP that i have really liked: Mogul, Amalgam, and Elle. Elle would be a great spring purple. Mogul's pretty much my go to highlighter.
edited to add: oh and Rush. that was the prettiest gold i have ever seen. and maybe more once i go home and look at my stash.

Well, with it above 90 here I think Spring decided to take a vacation and let Summer come in early! I'm still holding out hope for some cooler days before we hit 100 though... Toner concentrates would be lovely in this weather! Oh, and maybe a light spray body lotion in a light summery fragrance like strawberry or pineapple?

I wanna third of fourth the request for a magenta with blue sheen. I know of one other place that I can get it but I'd rather buy it from you! Also, a milky pale pink, lighter than Bloom (Bloom on my lips turns into a deeper pink). Kind of like Modern Poet and Precious married? :lol: Also the pale lilac and peach lip colors sound great. With all the bolder eye colors coming out for Spring/Summer I think the paler lip colors would go great with them!

I found a great source for a body lotion with zinc oxide but it has shea butter in it which would do a number on my face. So I agree with Lily, I'd love a light lotion with zinc oxide in it, but suitable for my face without turning greasy! I love the powder but sometimes I worry about getting enough coverage. With a lotion I can FEEL that I have an even coat, if that makes any sense?

As for the GWP, I'd like Vida and Nova...and Elle. I also wear Teakie a lot in the summer and am kicking myself for not ordering a second one before it was discontinued!

Candid is my favorite and I know some ladies would have loved Queen for a Day!

What about Winter Rose, Celestial, Truly, Genuine, etc.?

A lippie with physical sunblock would be great. I trust that Karen would formulate it so that it (1) doesn't have a white cast, (2) spreads easily and has an elegant slip (unlike most sunblock lippies that are impossibly thick and dry to spread), (3) moisturizes, and (4) is universally flattering in color. Am I asking for too much?!? :D

I would also buy toners -- either concentrates or pH balanced (to support the skin's acid mantle, not neutral at pH 7).

In an unsolicited effort to help out Karen:
-lwoodall10 posted photos of Korres #18 Peach Lipstick and Giorgio Armani #600 Rouge d’Armani Lipstick (just in case Temptalia disables hotlinking).
-StargirlDi requested a clone of Urban Decay's Alice in Wonderland palette. With the exception of Homegrown, the palette consists of all permanent colors that were re-named for the promo.

Underland (Flash) - bright iridescent purple
Alice (Painkiller) - turquoise shimmer
Oraculum (Baked) - rich bronze
Queen (Last Call) - plum punch
Chessur (Chopper) - coppery fawn w/ silver microglitter
White Rabbit (Polyester Bride) - white w/ silver *glitter*
Wonderland (Maui Wowie) - medium gold w/ silver *glitter*
Curiouser (Grifter) - sheer lavender w/ lots of silver microglitter
Muchness (X) - gold w/ sheer peach tint
Mushroom (Mushroom) - dark taupe with bronze shimmer
Midnight Tea Party (Midnight Cowboy Rides Again) - golden beige w/ bronze, gold & silver *glitter *
Vorpal (S&M) - bright metallic silver
Absolem (Homegrown) - grassy green
Drink Me Eat Me (Sin) - champagne
Mad Hatter (Twice Baked) - dark brown w/ gold *glitter*
Jabberwocky (Oil Slick) - black with silver *glitter*

I have emphasized glitter because Urban Decay is serious about their glitter. It's chunky cosmetic glitter -- not sparkly calcium aluminum borosilicate, not simply shimmery mica -- I repeat, it's glittaaaaaah. (Haha, I had way too much fun writing that sentence.)

-I don't know who's the woman in the photo cait posted. If somebody tells me who she is, I might be able to identify her lipstick.

^^@ extemter

She's on the show True Blood, but I can't place her exact name. I've searched and searched to find what that l/s is (only very slightly obsessed....). I could use some help!
