Okay, that cracked me the heck up. LOL!

PS, the plumper works, and doesn't feel too strange. I mean, you'd never mistake me for Angelina Jolie, but it works as well as any other plumpers I've used.

So, how likely is it that the gumball items will become regular items, and how soon would it happen? Based on everyone's rave reviews, I am clearly not going to get anyone to swap away their St. Tropez, and it sounds awesome!

I think Karen said she is keeping the new liquid wand formula.

I laughed so harding reading this!!!
I did a quick search online and found Caca goes back to middle english. Comes from the latin word "caco". Not sure how true the info is, but makes sense seeing most European countries use it.

Ahem. Anyway. LOVE.
Thanks for a huge chuckle

. I love the look of the gumballs and have only tried one (as I'm saving the other two for a trip to the Grand Canyon and California). From the swatch on the site, I didn't know if Stockholm would work for me. It's lovely on me and something I probably wouldn't have picked at full price as the color didn't look "me". YAY for snappy gumballs and for an all-lippie-gumballfrolic.

So jealous! Can't wait to receive mine (in a week or so

)
I'm really intrigued by the new liquid formula, as everyone seems to love it. I usually don't like 'natural' liquid lip colour as it just doesn't stick around long enough for me, but this sounds really nice

Here are my initial assessments of the new gumball products.
Tahitian Vanilla lip balm - It's a nice balm. It's really moisturizing and gives a good amount of slip when applied to the lips. It's not waxy whatsoever. I'm not a Vanilla scent fan but I gotta say that the scent was so subtle that I would've thought it was an unscented lip balm.
St. Tropez - This is clearly the winner here, for me, and looking at some of the comments on here for most people as well. I've never tried any of Silk Naturals liquid wand glosses and I gotta say I've been missing out! St. Tropez is such a nice color! It's a pinky-nude shade with no shimmer (yes!) and non-sticky. I didn't detect any scent to it but I could be wrong. It glided on really smooth and lasted quite a bit. I also like the small packaging on these as I can't see myself using up a bigger size. I also like it in this smaller size so that I can get more in these colors.
Stockholm - I like this as well. This is my second favorite from the gumballs. A sheer wash. Just a hint to give the lips some color. As for the formula compared to the others...I can't really tell. They feel the same to me.
Barcelona - Peachy Pink with a punch of color and shimmer. This color didn't appeal to me because of all the shimmer. The color was really opaque too which I know most people like, but I like sheer colors.
Karen - I am loving St. Tropez and am now looking forward to trying out more of your liquid wand glosses! Please make some more colors in this formula/packaging.
