Silk Naturals

Yes I AM a shameless greedy guts, lol. Moooore lippies! I would love more lip stains. They are so awesome on days I can't or don't feel like making a bunch of touchups (I adore the Kisser Slickers and they moisturize forever but the sheerer colors tend to fade a bit quickly on me). I know everyone has mentioned a coral and a nude stain, and I second those. A nude stain like Roxie, but rather sheerer/lighter, with perhaps a touch of pink. And perhaps some titanium dioxide or whatever it is so that the nude can actually be nude, slightly more opaque, and not just brown? I have no idea if that's possible.

I sometimes layer Chloe and Trixie for a coral stain, but I find it a bit difficult to blend two stains together properly. A bright, coral poppy-colored stain would be lovely for summer. And maybe two shades of coral! One leaning more vibrant, more....deep pink, like Zinnia, and one lighter and more peachy-pink.

And what inspired me to write all this is my discovery that Gigi is gone! I own Vamp, Chloe, Scarlet, Trixie, and Kiki (love the names, it's like a lineup of cabaret showgirls) and while building an order decided to grab a stronger pink one, and made my discovery! It's what I needed, a pink stronger than Chloe but not as fuchsia as Doll. Sadness. We need something else like it, for sure.

lip stains ftw!!! i would love a nude and coral one (or more), too!

regarding gigi: i think there was a problem with the formula. if i remember correctly, in some batches the colour turned or something. mine seemed to be stable the last time i used it, but i haven't checked for a while

You may want to check that stain, bellatete, mine looked OK for a while then all of a sudden I could only get a see-through liquid out, the colour was gone. Hopefully Karen will figure out a formula that works and it will be back with the summer collection if she makes one.

you were right, springfairy i checked my gigi today, and just as you described it - no more colour. the wand is still bright pink, but the liquid just doesn't stain anymore.

what bugs me though: i wanted to use chloe instead, and guess what? that one has turned too!! it still gives colour, but not a light pink. it's now a very sheer (but buildable) plummy colour, sort of like a sheer version of vamp i guess it's the pink pigments, that aren't as stable as the others...

You may want to let Karen know. She refunded mine.
