It is really nice to have friends that have a large stash as well. People with only one blush just don't get it. I'm already getting my cart ready for my birthday order. I have to try out my blush samples though so I can see what ones I must have. :D

I forget which one of the new gumballs were lip plumpers and the descriptions for all but one are gone. Does anyone remember? :lol:

I got mine in the mail today! :D I think Stockholm and Barcelona are both plumpers. St. Tropez is a liquid gloss.

I LOVE St. Tropez--it feels deliciously wonderful! Really pretty nude pink on me, with just enough shine to be pretty, but not over the top. Tastes yummy, too! :D

I've not had a chance to give the others a fair go yet.

Barcelona is the only plumper. All three colored products do have a new ingredient that is like a thick organic sunflower oil.

I am looking at them right now (I just got them in the mail). Here is my honest opinion and you can take from it what you want (as you know I am an SN employee....she could pay me in lip gloss and I would be here for life ;) ). I absolutely love the liquid gloss and I am not generally a liquid gloss person. The color is a lovely nude pink, and the feel of it is wonderful! Stockholm reminds me a little of Rhonda, but less intense of a color. Barcelona is a lovely coral. I can't comment on the final versions of the Butter Cream formula, but the formulas I tested leading up to it were very moisturizing. I will update with my take on the ButterCreams.

Update: Love Stockholm. I like the way the product makes the lips feel moisturized, but the color and gloss still sits on top of the lips. Even through eating!

I'm surprised I like the liquid too...but it almost "had to be". The formulas that are on the site now came together pretty quickly- I have almost no recollection of making Kisser Slickers, or Black Label- they were just kind of there one day, on a lark. The liquid gloss was the same way. I keep fighting with the stick gloss, and have for months.

So, if you're not 100% completely in love with the Butter Creams- that's ok. It seems almost better to just make the liquids for the moment, and then come out with the sticks in the Fall- or something like that. I do have a few other lippie tricks up my sleeve at the moment too ;) .

Yes, Karen! St. Tropez is positively perfect in every way (color, texture, opacity, sweetness) and I don't normally like liquid wand glosses. I was very surprised too.

Edit: Can we please, please, please have an amethyst color like Benefit's "Wild Child"? Pretty please, with sugar and cherries and chocolate sprinkles on top?!?
