The SN ones I have in my cart now are:
Copper Rose
Temptation
Precious
If you liked the thought of Golden Strawberry and Honey Mirage, you might like SN's Berry Crush. It's a clone of MAC's Viva Glam 5 and one of the most popular sellers here. Here's a better swatch photo of it, although the gold shimmer doesn't show up so well:

Thanks, I will be sure to order that one! (I just made a small order with 2 lipglosses to see if I like the taste and texture. I just feel that you can't swap lipglosses once you get them, so it would be a shame if I got a whole batch and didn't like them after all!)

BFA - no, that sounds great, but I'd suggest throwing a serum sample or two in there as using those under the Hemp Moisturiser will make a big difference. The Green Tea and Aloe serum and Super Serum should be back in stock any day, but as they're sooo much more hydrating than an ordinary hyaluronic acid serum thanks to Karen's genius in finding things like Tamarind Seed extract (much more potent), I think they'll help you a lot. Personally I'd recommend the GT&A as a gentle "suits everyone" and very hydrating one. Enjoy!

I just wanted to say I'm in love with Infatuation! It's a bit different than I expected and darker than what I'd always worn.. but it's beautiful! And the texture is simply gorgeous too

Yes, actually that was the exact product I am patiently waiting for- the GT&A Serum! I am glad I'm on the right track, thanks Cupcake.

Here's a swatch of Cultured and Bloom.
Both are extremely moisturizing and does not dry out my lips at all. They apply nice and smooth.
My favorite is Bloom
Cultured is on the left and Bloom is on the right.
