Are you in Germany? My MIL was born in Stuttgart and bore dual citizenship between Germany and the US. It's pretty cool that she had both.

Obscura was one of e/s

link I gave above ;)
Silly me, missed the link. I skipped because of the negative reviews on the Metal X products. Me and cream e/s products usually don't get along, Paint pots and Fluidlines being a rare exception. My wrinkly eyelids just create creases and I end up looking like the cryptkeeper...

I also was not a big fan of x-metals e/e and the like for, the same reason as you are, but in the outer corner Obscura presents itself extremely well.

Well, there would be less creasing issues there for me, good point. If I find one at the CCO or ACW, I may have to get that puppy. In the meantime, I think I have something similar from MUFE acutally...

I'm probably in the minority here... but I'm not a huge fan of Stereo rose :( this is my first time owning one, I ordered one because of all the hype surrounding it and I think it's just OK. Bummer!

I think I like AC as much as I do because of the finish. I'm a matte/satin girl through and through, but I've recently fallen in love with the creamsheens. I love both Glamourdaze and Apres Chic. I know the satins last longer, but this finish is fresh and more natural looking for work. I have to apply it more often, but I'm fine with that. I have so much lipstick that I'll be thrilled to actually finish a tube so I don't mind at all if I go through the creamsheens more quickly.

This is a gorgeous lippie and is the first I've ever backed up.
Same here! I'm really loving Cremesheens lately.

It wasn't all that for me either. Just too frosty for me and the fish scale cheek look. I like Redhead (Naturally collection version) WAY better.

Maybe I'm not doing it right... I am very fair so products show up pretty easily on me, I applied it with a 187 and thought it was meh but with any blush brush it's too heavy of an application for me. I just can't win!

Mehr looks the closest to me
Mehr is darker, but I do like to think of HA as being the "cute" version of Mehr.

I don't have a single doubt that we'll see another color very close to HA this year - maybe in the Mineralize lipsticks, or in an end of summer/early fall collection.

A darker HA sounds lovely! I look forward to similar colors in future collections!


Thank you, ladies!
