Maybe I missed it, but how does this work? I'm going to buy the eye shadow set and one lippie for my friend's bday - would I have to buy all 5 to do the benefit or all items qualify by themselves as well? By benefit I mean for the breast cancer foundation.

The lippies are sold seperately. They are $9.95 and for each one sold, Karen donates $6 to the Susan G. Komen Foundation.
The eyeshadows are in a trio. The set of all three costs $11.25 and Karen donates $7 per set sold.

You just have to purchase the product, and Karen handles the donation.

Karen, we need to talk.

Every time I turn around, you are coming out with something that I *must* have, and then I have to go to my DH and explain how makeup is a household necessity.

Would you just stop being such a good salesperson? I can't do this anymore, but I will, because you and your makeup are like a drug that I can't just say no to.

Moi?? This little collection was all you gals- I'm just a humble servant on this project. You all really inspired the colors- the names, the charity, pretty much everything. I just did the legwork.

**Shameless enabling for a good cause***
I look at it as entertainment- a trio of eye shadows costs about the same as a movie ticket BUT a movie only lasts 2 hours, and with makeup you get hours and hours of fun. It's one of the cheapest forms of entertainment around- AND you're helping to fight breast cancer.

Dang, you're good.
ROFGiggling!!!

This is going to raise a *bucket* of money for breast cancer *obliteration*. To be able to buy *2* GORGEOUS BlackLabel lippies for $19.90 & know that a whopping *$12* of that is *going to a GREAT cause that WE AS WOMEN ARE ALL threatened by*, well I say ya' can't beat that with a stick!!! The handmade black velvet pouches with pink ribbon attached mean that #1)Gift is Prewrapped & #2)ANY woman will INSTANTLY recognize that *you/WE* supported THE CAUSE in *her honor*!

I am busting at the seams with excitement & GLEE at how this evolved.

Ready! Set! GO!!!!!!!!! :D

Obliterate breast cancer. I love that phrase. I'm with you, MIkie. I was trying to buy while Karen was still trying to put the new "necessities" on the website! You're absolutely right - these are perfect pre-wrapped gifts. My order has already shipped; if the colors are as wonderful as I hope, I'll be ordering more for holiday gifts. After all, we can't skimp in our quest to annihilate breast cancer, can we? :lol: Lauren

I fell in love with Carpe Diem on sight. The colour, the luxury, the 24K gold, the name, the fact that I can differentiate it from my OTHER SN lippies ^_^

And since I was about to buy Cream and was looking for a medium taupe shade, Live, Laugh and Love are PERFECT!

I'm so glad I waited. =)

You are all going to FLIP!!! The Black Label lippies are DECADENT!!! I LOVE THEM!!! Carpe Diem is glorious on its own but you know me (ROFL!), I just *had* to layer some Monarch over it on my bottom lip. Cannot WAIT to read your reviews. :D

When Karen said she made them rich as can be, she DID. The gals who did wishlists for a "balm"...BUY THESE. They are leaps & bounds BETTER than ANY balm (natural or not) that I've tried in my 55 years. SO moisturizing & just plain DECADENT. The eye colors are lovely & useable, & the standout STARS are the Black Label lippies. If you like the Kisser Slickers & the DemiGlosses, you will *definitely* go WILD for these. As soon as you try them, you'll be back for more, for gifts, I just know it.

She's done it again,lol. 8-)

Zeebs, you will FLIP, I know you will! They feel unlike anything else ~ sooooooo moisturizing! DECADENT. I can definitely see you with your Copper Rose (since OF COURSE you must've reordered,lol) over the Monarch. Endless possibilities with SN lippies! Yesterday Jen described Carpe Diem as Breathless meets Berry Crush..or something like that..& that nails it. *Gorgeous*! Am wearing the lippies layered here!
