I haven't tried it, and I won't.  I'm not a lip gloss fan anyway and this one felt very sticky to me, so I will be giving it away or throwing it away.

Ooops, got busy the past two weeks and totally forgot to skip this month. 

 

Oh well, more polishes for me!

 

[Jac13]

Oops yea I did too.

I don't really like a lot of color on my lips, so I was happy with the gloss. Cookie, your Snow White queen make-up is amazing!

I wore Charming over Mirabella Posy last night and it muted it slightly (but in a good way).  I don't have that many lip glosses so it's nice to have when I want to tone down a bold lip just a tad.

Anyone try the lip primer yet? I have one coming to me in a swap and I'm excited to try it!

I got glowing and it definitely adds a smidge of color to my lips, I really like it. It's not super long lasting but I have yet to find a gloss that is, not too sticky, smells good. I definitely want to pick up a couple other shades.

Lol I wanted it to be more sticky! Sticky glosses last longer.

 

[Miss Jean]

I was also pretty disappointed in Charming. I'm super glad I didn't upgrade further to get them all.  I think I had the same problem with it being the same color as my lips as well. I'm hoping the Posh I swapped for works out better for me.

I like Charming if i want more color Ill choose a lipstick. It's actually very pretty. I don't mind that it's not super long lasting because I enjoy applying makeup know what I mean? /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

My secret store order has made it to my town.  That is practically speedy for DHL.

Not surprisingly, now that the 50% off is over, the holiday sets went back to the pricing from the booklet.  They also added a GWP with a $35 purchase (Daring lip gloss + Oscar + Anisa and the Kajal liner).

I got Glowing and added on Daring and love them both! Glosses don't really last long on me either, but I love putting them on over a lipstain, and they're both perfect for that. I actually like that Glowing doesn't add much colour to my lips, it's perfect for a natural look.

I received that email.  It's not enough of an enticement for me.  I don't like lip gloss, and didn't like their charming lip gloss, I already have their eyeliner, and it's pretty sub par, and I have Anisa already.  The only thing new to me would be Oscar.  

 

[Jac13]

I think the GWP is nice. It could be something to give away or keep if you don't have those items. The problem is I don't want to pay full price for items to receive the GWP.

 

[stephstrong]

Ok many of the items in the holiday guide are just insanely priced!!!! What the hell!! I'm sure they left room for discounting and stuff but even with the 50% off promo many are just ridiculously overpriced!

I only paid 17.50 for the neutrals set in the secret store without a coupon and now it is 35.00.  I can't imagine anybody paying the regular price on any of the sets.

Julep's pricing makes my head hurt.

Agreed. I was debating getting some stuff at 50% off, but even then I was hesitant since I've been keeping my nails pretty short lately. I'm sure they'll have Black Friday/Christmas/post-holiday sales. I'm surely not going to buy anything until there is one.

 

[Lolo22]

Yeah, I am really trying to postpone any more purchases right now because it's only just over 3 weeks til Black Friday and the deals will be so much better (hopefully) then.  That will also make the December window tricky because I will be really hesitant to do any add-ons 5 days before BF.

I was a bit conflicted about the lip primer, but after wearing it for a few days, I've decided I like it under matte lipsticks.  It's matte itself so doesn't change the finish of the lipstick on top, but provides enough moisture that my matte lipsticks don't feel quite as drying.  Not sure I'd use it on a daily basis, but for my matte colors, yep.
