Glad you are feeling better Karen. Vegan color base is a great idea to cut back on product and make things easier on you guys.
I LOVE your skin/body/haircare...anything new would make me happy.
I would love to see an oil-free retinol product...not even sure that is possible. Also an oil-free serum w/ a higher % of MAP (maybe 10%).
Anything new for hand/body care would be awesome.
A dry shampoo and something for oily scalp/hair would be great.
You offer so many lippies, I can't think of anything you are missing. Maybe more sheer, shimmerless ALG's.
Thanks for asking us!!

I feel I might be a minority on this one but I'd love to see some creamy, pigmented, non sparkly lippies. That Bobbi Brown up there looks beautiful. And a true red lipstain sounds lovely :)

I'd love to see some sort of subtle highlighter for the face, something a bit more along the lines of Propinquity, with the gold and the pearly glow it has... to give a glowy highlight but not necessarily with sparkles. I don't know, maybe there's already a product like this that I've overlooked!

And to compensate, I wouldn't mind seeing some really really glittery eye shadows!
I love creamy and non sparkly lippies too, youre not in the minority :) I think Provoke is the first non sparkly one I tried and I fell in love with it. I'd love more cool ALG colors like Provoke and maybe some a little lighter too.

Propinquity is such a unique gorgeous color, I think it would make an amazing lip gloss! Or if there is a clear lipgloss released I can just mix it with my Propinquity eye shadow :)

Another vote for creamy, non-sparkly lippies! :D

Also, another vote for cream blush in colors like Wish You Were Here and Flirt. I used to love Stila's Convertible Color in Gerbera, but cannot justify the price of it! One cream blush like that, and I would totally be thrilled!!! :D

Feel better soon, Karen!

It's definitely not as bright as Flamingo, but it's absolutely the closest in color here at SN if you're looking for something here. I can swatch them side by side for you if it'd help. I think Flamingo's going to be a hot commodity if it's duped because there really doesn't seem to be anything quite like it!

I would like a scrub for my hands, similar to the one minute manicure product, so that it has some exfoliating properties, and lots of moisturizing ones.

I'm glad you're recovering nicely, Karen. I think switching to vegan color bases for foundation seems like a good idea. I've tried both vegan and regular and didn't notice any differences.

I agree on more lip stains! They are so fast to apply and low maintenance! I'd like to also request lip stains in the purple family like a lavender-pink, purple freesia, etc. Also a berry color that's on the cool (or neutral side), another vote on a neutral rose shade, and a true kissable cherry-ruby red. I definitely would like to wear these stains on my cheeks as well.

I'll add another vote for a makeup finishing spray (for me I'd really like something moisturizing to prevent cakiness). Thanks again for allowing us to make suggestions!

I'd love to see some more non-sparkly/shimmery lippies too!

Hope you're feeling better!

Oooooohhh! I would love a swatch of them side by side. No rush though. :)
