I've just been drooling over the swatches of LOLA, it looks sooo pretty ♥♥♥ I would love it for the spring line :) (Especially since people seem to rave about the formula, but it would also be good in a solid lipgloss).

Revisiting the liptar suggestion: a clear gloss base that we can use to apply blush and even eye shadows (as long as they are safe to do so) as lipgloss.

As a reference, here is the thread: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1865&start=0&hilit=liptar

It's a good choice, but if it can be done naturally, that would be awesome. Also, and it may have been mentioned, would love to have a clear cream blush base. Thanks!

Yes please again on this from me.

May be a bit late to chip in with any new ideas, but at the weekend when wandering through my local department store beauty hall I was transfixed by Bobbi Brown's Pot Rouge in Cabo Coral, part of the Cabana Corals collection and just had to swatch it on my hand.

The image on the BB website does not do it justice (hence I haven't posted a link to it, I would never have thought it was the same shade if it wasn't for the name!!) - in real life it's like a very creamy, revved up version of SN's Wish You Were Here - a perfect, coral pink. Just lovely for summer on lips or cheeks.

I haven't bought mainstream i.e. non mineral cosmetics for a loooooong time, but this could be my undoing :lol: so pleeeeeease could we have a dupe?

I am daydreaming about a beautiful tan without all of the damaging effects of the sun. A self tanner that provides a natural looking tan, smells good, or has no odor, and isn't sticky: ) Some new lip colors would be nice too. I've got Spring on the brain, so I was thinking of lip gloss shades inspired by tropical flowers like Azalea and Hibiscus.

I remember Karen talking about a self tanner ages ago, and I was looking forward to the release... maybe she decided against it?

I was just looking through BFA's swatch album & saw a swatch of the Capricious lippie. Karen, please, please, PLEASE bring this one back!!! It's such such a bright & lovely pink, but it doesn't look too over the top. I'd love to be able to try it.

For those who haven't seen it, there's a swatch here:

I am impatiently anticipating Revlon's new release of these beautiful colors in May but in the meantime I'd love to see if you could dupe these colors and preferably no shimmer since the shimmer kind of makes the lip gloss a bit drying for me.
I have to make a confession. I just bought the new revlon lilac pastel lip gloss. It's the first non SN lippie I've bought in a year and I feel so guilty! :lol: I lOVE purple though so I couldn't resist. Pleeeaase Karen will you dupe this color so I can go back to all SN!!! LOL!! ;)

I know i couldn't believe I found it. It isn't "suppose" to be out until May. I found it at Supertarget this morning. They had it with the regular colors because I think I read somewhere it will be a permanent color, unlike the spring purple nail polish (which I'm dying to try) which will be limited I think. If you swatch it on your arm it looks lilac. On my lips, if I do a thin layer it looks milky pink. The color I've been looking for for a while. But if I put in on thicker you can see the lilac tint, although it really just gives them that milky light color. I really like it. Although it goes withough saying that I would by Karen's , in a heartbeat, and use it instead, if she dupes it. It was the only color I got because all of the other colors I really have in SN colors.

I saw them at Target too. I was very tempted by the Lilac and the Coral shade, but I didn't buy any.
