I love the medium,too,Rhys. For so long I had used the damp-brush method that it's strange to just whizz it on with a dry brush! Then a baby buki with my mixed-up concealer fluffed over the really dark spots & I'm done ~ & on to COLOR!

LOVE Danny & LOVE Summer Fling! They both need to be part of the regular lineup! *Says ME!*

I'm with ya'll on the Medium Cover foundation!
I got the Heavy Cover too to make a concealer. Loving it as well.
Thank you Karen for doing a light peach concealer tester too! I tried another company's peach and it was too dark. Your is perfect, with great coverage for my chronic dark circles!!!! PLEASE!!!! Make this part of your regular line. The Envy liner is great with my hazel eyes. Now I am torn between it and Mahogany as to which I like better!

I am loving the peach concealer!! This is the first concealer that didn't cake on me and actually concealed the darker areas. I am applying it with the another mineral brand's eye kabuki and it is just perfect! I am so glad I got to try this. Thanks so much

I'm a bit late but thought I'd post my thoughts on some of the new products.

First of all, I LOVE the Delight Kiss Bliss lippie. It's a cross between Bliss and Indulge but it's still warm enough for summer.

As for the new solid perfumes, my favourite so far is Tease followed by Fresh. I'll be testing Mystic tomorrow. I don't like La Femme as I find that it's too strong for me.

By the way, does anyone know if there's a Kiss Bliss lippie that's close to Rapture? I like the colour but would prefer a gloss/hybrid version.

hmm... just tried BabyDoll... looks sooo scary in its pot but gave my cheeks a lovely natural pink flush.. a keeper! yay!

Mav-
For the Kiss Bliss lippies close to Rapture, I'd currently recommend either Grace or Swept Away. Neither one is an exact match, but they are definitely similar. Grace looks to be about the best; it just seems to show up a bit sheerer pink.

Thanks so much Jen! The colour swatches helps a lot

I'm reporting back on the new eye concealer testing result here.

I got the Light Peach, which works way better than the one SN currently has: it covers better and takes much less time to apply.

This is the first eye concealer I've used that has decent coverage while being of totally wholesome ingredients and not requiring me to over-stretch the skin around my eyes during application like those creamy/cakey/pencil stuffs do.

The downside: It's slightly darker and pinker than my skin. Even after laying foundation and perfecting powder on top, it still looks slightly awkward, and it somehow brings out the bluish side of my circles, which wasn't noticeable before I put the concealer on....

All in all, it's an improvement, but is it possible to be further improved upon?

I'm wondering, if the mix-your-own method can also be used for concealers?

Thanks all the same. I guess I'll continue to try to find some way to perfect the application method or maybe try mixing it with my foundation for better tonal harmony.

Yes- you can easily blend a little white foundation in to lighten it up. I have a lighter yellow version in the works as well!

I also ordered one of the fragrance sticks, hopefully I'll love it. I have never tried a fragrance stick before. This will be interesting. I have to say that I am really impressed with the quality of these products, so far I have 4 eyecolors and 2 blushes. I am a newbie so it will take some time for me to collect more, but I did place a fairly large order this morning. I purchased the foundation kit in ebony and I am a fair to light skin tone, does anyone have any suggestions on color mixing to get me to the precise shade, any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Take Care. AH
