Don't get me wrong. I LOVE SN's lippies! They are my tiny little gorgeous babies.
But I just noticed that after a few weeks living in my traincase, and occassionally taking turns being tossed around in my makeup pouch in my purse, the color name on the tube label are almost throughly scratched-off! Which is a bummer, because even I know each color exactly, I have a really poor memory despite my age.
So, perhaps Karen can kindly tweak the labels so that the color name won't be scratched off too easily? I don't mind if the upgrade is followed with a little "upgrade" on pricing, as long as the "upgrade" is still within reasonable sense.

Until the labels change, you could try wrapping clear tape around them - I've seen it suggested in this forum before.

I'm weird. I immediately peel the labels off and write the names on with a Sharpie.

Erm it's a chore when I have over 30 SN lippies and should I spend time doing that?
I've been dabbling with several Etsy lipstuff over the last few months and have been mightily impressed by the labels. Waterproof, and securely taped down. That's all I'm asking. Epically Epic's labels are terrific and can withstand a large amount of battering in my cosmetic bag.

My labels always peel up. I don't want to spend time taping them. I, too, would like different labeling.

I too use heavy clear packing tape over all my lippie labels. They get mangled in the pocket of my work fatigue pants and when my dog decides to hand them to me if I drop them.

Hahahah Aud that was exactly my thought! The labeling for Shiro Cosmetics lippie products look good and seem to be able to withstand being tossed around in my makeup pouch.

*nods*
The SN lippies are very reasonably priced but I just wish the labels lasted as long as the lippies do. I also don't want to waste time and waste tape (not eco-friendly anyhow and kinda redundant) doing this.

If I really like the lipgloss and know I'm going to keep it, I just take the label off because the labels curl out and sticks to whatever is in my purse. It's just easier just to take the label off completely then have sticky hands every time I handle it. But yeah, it would be nice to have a waterproof label and one that stays on.
Many Etsy stores use waterproof and somehow the labels stay on. I would love if SN's lippies did the same.
