No, Mikie you are not alone in thinking that the lippies a decadent. I got mine yesterday and am in love with them, These will definately see alot of wearing time. I do have on in my cart that I plan on ordering as a gift. THe reciepent saw Carpe Diem today and loved the color, so a Thank You for all the extra things she does for me at work , I think I"ll surprise her.
I also really like Live , Laugh , and Love. I have to say that Cream meets Vanilla is the perfect highlight color.

yes. yes. ordered two more of monarch. This is the FIRST SN lippie that I will be wearing AS a lip balm and color. I usually wear a balm underneath my other lippies but this one I will be using as both. Great job, Karen! Would love to see black label lippies become a permanent part of the site even if these colors must remain LE. As it is, I'm glad my indulgence is going to a good cause.

Is there any way the black label lippies can be sold at a higher price? I know that would be a little outside the normal price range for SN, but... what do you think? I am not sure what you mean by calling in favors to achieve these special products, but if the issue is cost, just wondering which gals love them enough to pay a higher price for them - I haven't tried mine yet but expect them to be fabulous. Sephora routinely charges $20-25 for inferior glosses, so... I dunno, I would pay $15-18 for something as nice as these seem to be.

Hmmm...now I am just pondering aloud here...but on the black label lippies, it seems the issue was/is Karen's cost & the fact that (bless her heart) she decided that $6 of our price goes to the Komen Foundation. Now, when this campaign ends on Oct.31st, any remaining stock (as if!!!LOL!!!) could still be sold at the $9.95 price point & Karen could at least have her profit margin on those. I don't know how close to the bone the price point was set (if the amount weren't going to the cause) but it stands to reason that Karen wouldn't offer them at a loss...so I would venture a guess that the $9.95 was set to include her profit if money weren't coming right off the top. That's my reasoning. Could be all wet, LOL, but I *always* think in bottom-line terms. Now, getting the ingredients may be the issue, for all I know.
Hollis & Samantha, glad you got yours & that you share my exuberance over these,LOL! *DECADENT*! Zeebs, you're going to LOVE them!
Using the Change Address on SN's site was a simple matter & PERFECT for HONORING & SURPRISING loved ones! The address book feature needs to be expanded to hold more than 5 names,ROFL!!! Shopping at its easiest! Enabling at its best!
