Thank you!
I tried the bonus item, and I amazed at how it works, I wasn't sure what it would really do, but it really does what it claims.
I also love the color of the "tester" formula.
And I love the formula of Kapow gloss(figured most people know about this item by now, since it's not a surprise but a GWP), I like my glosses more sticky, and this one is thinner and stickier which I like.

WARNING: SPOILERS (No pictures, just text)


This was so worth it! I was thrilled to get my package and I loved everything. I loved reading the letter, too! It was so awesome to get that. The bonus item is a different kind from the one I already have from another company - I think this new one might be more effective for me, yay!



Race - A very pretty dark teal with coppery shimmer. I'm excited to play with this one! I'll probably try it over Stick 'Em tomorrow.

Loop - When I first swatched it I thought "This seems very similar to Doubloons," but I pulled Doubloons out and swatched it and it's very different (so much for my memory)! They have the same sort of multicolored iridescent edge, but Loop is much darker and taupier. It's gorgeous and I think Doubloons would actually make a really good highlight with it.

Curve - A beautiful blush somewhat similar to Lovelace (the second mistaken comparison I made!). The shimmery, almost iridescent finish is similar to Lovelace, but Curve is much pinker, with just a hint of peach. Bright but sheer.

Kapow! - The coolest thing ever. It's fluorescent orange in the tube, but a thin layer produces a much pinker effect on my lips - like a more neon Truly or Mirabelle. No blacklight in the house to test, but I really want to!

Bohemian - An extremely exciting and unexpected item! I love new lippies! It's a gorgeous plummy pink with a hint of shimmer, somewhat like Breathless but a touch darker and definitely plummier. I'm REALLY excited to wear this tomorrow!

I love the labels! The cupcake and the Kapow font and "Mrs. Stark's Half Bakery." I laughed out loud. The name must stay somehow! :D

Thank you, Karen! This is amazing and I'm even more excited for the June package (which should arrive somewhere around my birthday, the 21!) And confirmation of a summer collection! Woohoo!

Happy SN fan!! :D (but sorry for the length)

Yay!!!! I'm glad you liked them! I had forgotten how fun they are to put together...but we had a blast with it in the office.

Next round should be fun- I had a cocktail and hit a nifty wholesale site late one night. :o We were playing with them this morning.

I found a not quite so gross Youtube video showing how to use the tool:

There are tons and tons of videos, but a lot of them are close-ups and you can't unsee that.

I got mine too!

I was excited to see the tool because I've always thought about picking one of them up, but I never have. I didn't try it tonight because I haven't taken pictures for my blog yet, but I'll be testing it out tomorrow. Can't wait!

I'm, of course, looking forward to playing with everything else too. I missed the MAC! Thanks for doing it again Karen and SN crew. Can't wait for June's package!

All the goodies are awesome! And I am very excited about the bonus tool! I have been wanting to try one of these and just have never gotten around to purchasing one.

I am in love with Bohemian! I love the formula; it really stays put and I want it in more colors, please. :)

You're looking great Oxana!! Ali has a crush on you- he kept staring at the computer and giggling this morning. Hope you're well!
