Let's chat about lipgloss...

Isn't the texture just fantastic? i think st. tropez is my favorite right now...i'm really loving the lip balm too- the general ones on the site were never quite enough for me (nice- just not..."enough") but the sunflower oil in these really makes them lovely

I've tried St Tropez...love it! It's a beautiful color and great texture. I also tried the Stockholm and I really like the color and feel on my lips as well. Looking forward to trying Barcelona the lip plumper after dinner!!! Can't wait to try the lip balm, I might have to wake up at 3 in the morning to squeeze it in today!!!

People with only one blush just don't get it.

I used to own one blush! This statement is so true! I love it.

When I wore be I only had one blush. It was just too expensive. I don't even want to count how many blushes I have now.

It's positively blissful to paw through the jars. We're so fortunate to have makeup to play with.

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?!?

What a beautiful shade!! Not sure if it would be too deep for me, but that is gorgeous!

Brooke looks AWESOME in that swatch. I'm happy it's coming together with the gumballs (still in transit!).

My fav hands down is St. Tropez. It's such a beautiful color on me and a perfect pink nude. I was actually stunned by this as I'm not one who can usually pull off a nude lip without looking sick or it gravitating into lip lines. BRAVO Karen ! This is perfect in every way. I'd love a solid gloss with this color as well if that is possible? I got Barcelona and the new lip balm as well. I am on the fence with Barcelona. It's a fairly orange color on me and while it's a wearable color, the light pearl finish was just ok for me. The plumping action was noticeable for me and it's something I'd have to get used to. The balm consistency is great and I felt it really had great staying power. It felt like it stayed on much longer and was more moisturizing as well I wish the scent was more evident thou. I could barely smell anything even if it was right under my nose. I wish I would have gotten Stockholm as well, it sounds like it's very wearable. OH and a side note, someone had gifted me some eye lash gel awhile back. (Thanks Therese!) OH MY ! It was one of the other things in the order with the gumballs as I was running low. I haven't had an issue with my mascara leaving marks on my brow bone in a LONG time I haven't noticed any thickening yet but in just a few weeks, the length is just amazing. Thank you Karen !

Thanks for letting us have a sneak peek

I have tested all of the color gumballs, and my DH (one of the ones who initially requested a balm that was not so glossy) tested the Tahetian Vanilla. I'd say they are all a hit here.

DH said the only way the balm could be improved is if it was in beer flavor (he is somewhat of a beer connoisseur at the moment...brews some of his own, too.) Otherwise, loved the texture and the flavor.

I think for me the hands down winner is St. Tropez as it has converted me to loving liquid gloss. I can't wait for more colors in this formula.

Love the color, texture and staying power of Stockholm.

The surprise, though......Barcelona is the perfect summer coral shade for me! I did not think it would be a color I liked on me much, but I was completely wrong! I am one in the group that sometimes has issues with too pink of a lippie (lots of pink fights with my natural lip color which is kind of a slight reddish plum), but this has the perfect amount of red/orange not to compete with my natural lip color.

I got my gumballs yesterday -- YAY!!!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the new lip balm formula!! It's texture & consistency are just about perfect. The staying power is great. I wore it to bed (mixed with a little of the coconut lip balm which I received in the same order) & still had some left on my lips when I woke up almost 10 hours later (after cutting my sleep short for several days, I seriously needed a long sleep night). I agree with heidiv23323 -- I'd like the vanilla scent/flavor to be a little more prevalent, but that's not a big issue for me, & I know some folks would prefer no scent/flavor at all.

I've only tried the 3 colored glosses on quickly to get a feel for the colors, but I liked what I felt. St. Tropez is almost the exact color of my lips, & it feels very nice. "Butter Cream" is a great description of Barcelona & Stockholm. They really did feel very buttery & creamy when I applied them -- very luxurious. I have no idea yet how moisturizing or long-lasting they are, or if Barcelona's plumping action works for me, but I'm looking forward to finding out over the next few days!!
