Oh, I would also like a men's cologne along the lines of Diesel's "Only the Brave". http://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Dies ... -5532.html I love the scent (so does hubby), but 1.) it is super-expensive!! and 2.) I'd much rather buy from SN. :D

I second Xarata on anything peach/orange and add in gold/bronze-sunkissed type colors. I'd love to see a coral and nude lip stain added. I love your sheer but bright lip colors, I'd love to see more like that, plus a warm (similar to cider blush) nude lip color.

I would love an updated Non-ALG version of Swank. A violet version of Glacier sounds great...wish I could wear the ALGs :(

An array of cream shadows would be great, as would an updated Hey Baby as Oxana described.

Sorry, but I must admit I that I prefer the smaller lip gloss tubes with the doe-foot applicators; both of my brushes arrived in a splayed state.

I always wish for budge-proof matte lippies. A warm rose would be nice. A matte Non-ALG variation on Nice Tan would put me in orbit!

Lipstains: Tan? Warm rose?

I guess I am in the minority with my opinion of the new lip gloss tubes. I love them, and I haven't had issues with the brushes splaying much on the two I have. I definitely prefer the brush to the doe foot applicator. I can get enough product in one swipe and not have to keep dipping into the tube. I will say that the larger size and higher price do mean I am less likely to try a color that I am not 100% convinced will work for me.

Im with you Ladybug. I love the taste/smell and stevia in them also. I had one splayed bristle that poked up so I cut it off. :D

Did you cut the whole brush short or just the splayed bristles? I haven't tried cutting mine. I like the brush(the application anyway), the tube, and the gloss, i just don't like the splaying. If cutting it works, perhaps i will try that...

I was thinking there's got to be a trick or something to it. Like is there a way to put the brush back in correctly or something? I was thinking of holding it in boiling water to fix all the bristles, I think I heard that trick somewhere. And then maybe I can cut ones that still continue to stick out. Because I do prefer the brush, it works much better for me, so I just need to learn the trick to keeping it from splaying out, that's all.

I would love hear any other tricks and tips to get the brush in right as well. I must be doing something terribly wrong since mine has about 1/2 the bristles sticking out to the side. If I cut them all off, I'd have almost nothing to apply with. I'll try that boiling water trick before cutting them for sure. Thanks for that.

As far as the new lipgloss containers. . . my brush arrived slightly splayed and got worse. I tried my darnedest, but couldn't keep it from happening. I really do prefer the doefoot applicators. I also am less likely to try a new color in the large bottles.

I'd love a replacement for Zinnia lipgloss (not sure if Infinity is anywhere close to it?). It was my go-to fun summer gloss. I missed out when it left, though. :(

I'd also love a color similar to Nude Beach--same Kisser Slicker formula (sadly discontinued). I have back-up, but am hoping a new version arrives in the not-so-distant future! :D It's the perfect summer bronze lip color, without being overly flashy. I can't do nude lip looks--I have to have color!

Namaste GWP is wonderful. . . it is now competing with my beloved Homecoming Queen! Would love for it to be around full time. . . .

Finally, a light pink vegan blush that is slightly peachy. "Vegan" is the operative word here. I can't wear the ones with silk because they break me out. . . . *sigh*

Here is my wishlist for Spring:

- fixing spray that keeps my eye/face makeup in place especially in warmer weather (I use Strawberry Spritz as a setting spray but running low on my discontinued organic fixing spray)
- a primer similar to 100% Pure but more affordable
- liquid mineral foundation and or BB cream for dry skin sans silicone
- an eye cream that tackles fine wrinkles (the cucumber peptide breaks me out on the lid and at the corners, so I only use it under eye)
- I'd also love to see some lip liners
- cream eye shadows
- return of Moisture magic
- 100% pure argan oil (adding a few drops to any moisturiser works wonders)
- true orange lipstick
- more light berry coloured lippies with more coverage.
