I know I am new here, but I have seen a swatch of Rhonda and it looks so pretty!!!
It is a color I would love to see towards spring :D


And also I would like a cool coffee toned brown. A kind of brown that has purple in it.
I have <Desire> and it is way to warm for me, makes me look sallow :(

I have sent you my only tube of <coffee shop>, a lip"gloss" from edm.
I LOVE the color of it, but not the feel, it is SO dry...
It was that kind of brown I would like to see you make, it is a true cooltoned almost purplebrown with slight silver shimmer/specks.
(Hope you get my package soon Karen, I sent it almost three weeks ago ;) )

Oh and thank you SO much for asking us!

For the lippie with zinc oxide (I know you couldn't "officially" make something with an SPF factor because of the drug classification legalities/formal testing, but we all know zinc oxide provides sun protection) I would prefer something without a tint (hopefully no white cast, but I know it can be hard to avoid that).

If you're able to come up with a good formula, maybe you could offer a non-tinted & a tinted version?

I agree with Oxana that something more waxy (but not hard -- I hate it when a lippie tugs on my lips when I'm trying to apply it; I don't need anything speeding the progression of wrinkles, thank you very much!) would be good for a little extra staying power.

Re: Urban Decay eyeshadows: No glitter, please. I don't want to risk eye irritation and the glitter fallout is not a look I want to rock.

Wouldn't an untinted sunblock lippie appear white on the lips? That's why I would prefer a colored sunblock lippie in a universally flattering color.

From Wikipedia: "Inline linking (also known as hotlinking, leeching, piggy-backing, direct linking, offsite image grabs) is the use of a linked object, often an image, from one site into a web page belonging to a second site. The second site is said to have an inline link to the site where the object is located." "Inline linking to an image stored on another site increases the bandwidth use of that site . . ."

I hope I'm not too late for this (:

I think what I've been wanting most this spring is a light purple/lilac lip colour (stop me if there's something already like this)! Something like Infatuation but lighter + more purple! A light brown/peach would be really great too. I thought Caramel would be this for me but .. on me it's this pretty, but darker brown/red. And while normally I'm all for mattes, I think Spring/Summer is a good time to invest in shimmer/-maybe- sparkle. (;

Edit: I want to retract my -maybe- sparkle. I just tried on a drugstore lipgloss I bought and .. sparkles hurt me!

From their new line of shadows, I picked up Atmosphere (coz it's a teal, surprise surprise), and there's no fallout for me, which is great. But with my sustainable palette, there's a ton of shades I just don't wear because of that nasty glitter fallout. I do fine with their shades like Sellout, Asphyxia (which isn't pigmented enough so I'm glad for mineral dupes), and Half-baked.

I would LOVE a lippy with spf, color doesn't matter because I can always put lipstick on top. I have a balm with SPF but I don't like it as well as the other lippies I have.
I have the sustainable shadow box, and I get super frustrated with the glitter so frequently. I just love MCRA, Grifter, and Uzi, but I would love them so much more if they were more manageable. I actually love Kiddie Pool, Half Baked, YDK and Twice Baked also and would def. buy SN clones of them if they were available. http://www.urbandecay.com/categories/Su ... dowBox.cfm

I just read Cupcake's description of GWP Thriller, & I'd like to request a re-issue of that one, as well. Sounds gorgeous!!!

Here's how Cupcake describes Thriller:

"If "Thriller" ever comes back as a re-issue, you'd be in for a real jaw-dropping colourful treat. (Think electric peacock with metallic shimmer)."

Makeup aside, I was thinking about skincare for Spring and Summer.

The warmer weather would bring about more zits and irritations. How about a soothing zit zapper that provides both cooling/ calming and antiseptic relief?
