I agree with everything everyone said, especially cupcake's jewel theme. Plus if twister could be in that lot I would be so so so happy. It's a colour I can't live without :D :D :D yay I found another one

WOW pigments lots and lots of pigments :D

I think colors in the reds/golds/deep/burnt orange/greens. For eyeshadows, maybe a rust color, a dupe of MAC Amber lights :o , i think the MAC photo realism palette is amaaazing and the notoriety palette as well! Mayyyybeee the MAC Mineralize Eye Shadow Quad in Natural Flare?! :D Fall to me is about deep, rich colors that are pretty much at contrast with the fun, lighter, playful colors of the summer..but I don't know if that is just me! haha. I have dark skin (mac nc 45 or 1:1 buttery gold:ivory with a biiit of peach to darken it a bit), and I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE fall colors bc they are the shades that I can actually wear!

Oh, this is a personal request, but a dupe of NARS Taj Mahal :lol: (i know this would never happen but a girl can dream!)

Not replying w/specific colors in mind, but I don't think I'm alone when I say this....I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE a mixing medium so that we could make our own cream blushes.....And I second the dupe for MAC Hand Crafted (I think that's what it is) blush! Thanks for asking, Karen :)

Quick question please, Karen - without giving away any surprises... ;) would new lipsticks be colours in a heavier pigmented, more colour-rich formula? Or do you mean reformulating a base formula but similar colour coverage?

The reason I ask is that I'm hankering after a Black Label type base as it's getting colder here and need that extra richness, but I'm eyeing up sheer colour coverage in deeper colours like Sweet Nothing and maybe Aria (although that might be too much colour for me). Seedy was the maximum in terms of how much colour coverage I'd want. Something like Precious but in deeper colours for the Autumn. Should I wait to order? Any suggestions (ladies)? Thanks x

Yes please again on both the blush mixing medium & Hand Crafted for me too, thanks!

I just reformulated the base...the old one was good, but it needed some tweaks. It's a little bit glossier than the old formula, but I don't think it will disappoint. There's a really cool feature of the new base, but I can't give away the surprise just yet (the suspense is killing me too). I haven't done a lot with the Black Label base because apparently they stopped making apricot wax. I have a fair amount stashed in my freezer, but I don't have a source for any more of it...sooooo, yeah, good times.

So about the blush mixing medium...which I haven't had a chance to play with quite yet...would it be a pot of something that you'd mix each morning- sorta like the clear liner sealer?

Hi Karen,

the blush mixing medium would be exactly that, in my opinion, so that you would have a choice of wearing your favourite SN shade as either a powder or cream. I suppose you could also use it to transform shadows, too.

Karen, I am new here but just wanted to say how neat it is that you not only bounce ideas off of us customers and really listen to what we want, but it's so cool to hear about the trial and error of making new products and improving present ones...It really gives us a glimpse of what's going on behind the scenes, which I love. I'll also add in that I love the idea of the blush mixing medium. It would be fun to be able to make a cream blush. I'm really enjoying the blushes I've gotten to try so far, they are wonderfully pigmented and their staying power is unlike any other brand I've tried. Keep up the good work!! :D
