BeautifulAfter trying the lipsticks again, they're kinda patchy and they're not as creamy as I thought they would be. I see on the website they updated their descriptions to semi-matte though. They do go on very lightly so they take some building up. Arabian Night does leave behind a reddish stain. Here is me wearing plum fairy and arabian night with no make-up so forgive me.

My list is
Arabian Nights - deep violet
Erotika - olive green
If the smell is so bad, i'm not sure if i want to buy more colors.
And some have said the packaging is cheap and they worry it will break. I've never seen the package. Can you who have this post a picture or describe it better?
ETA: How do these compare to Melt cosmetics?

It's a fairly strong, old woman perfume smell now IMO It goes away after awhile, but the taste is kinda sharp, I run a little EOS balm over it to mask the taste. They are supposed to be going back to original fragrance (which I LOVED) as stock dwindles, so which tubes you get is kind of hit and miss because I recently ordered a Rebel Raine after they restocked, and it was still in the old black packaging with the nice fragrance that I prefer. Unless you're just super sensitive to fragrance, I think they're still worth the money. I have Candy Girl, Cappuccino, Lavender Raine (FAV!!!), Rebel Raine, Plum Fairy, Arabian Night, Penthouse Sweet, and Chocolip.
The new packaging is like a glossy PINK version of MACs lipstick. I think the people worrying about it breaking have the old style of black packaging, which I really liked, but it was a bit flimsy... I never thought it would break on me, but I was disappointed in how lightweight it was, kind of made it feel cheap.

arabian night, black dahlia, and dragenista (sp?) are the math.I didn't see a thread for Coloured Raine so I figured I'd start one. I'm attaching their color guide and some links to blogs that have full-face lip swatches.

I...LOVE...THESE...LIPSTICKS! I have been putting people on to these left and right! Anyway, I currently have: Persian Queen, Dragenista, Arabian Night, X-Posé, Monroe, Dramatica, Boudoir, Plum Fairy, Fierce & Fab, and VVS Lipsynch. I just ordered: Chocolip, Penthouse Sweet, Diva, and Naked. Eventually I want to have them ALL! The pigmentation is excellent and they have a vast array of colors. I prefer the newer packaging and the smell doesn't bother me a bit. It's like how your mother's makeup smelled back in the day lol. I have swatches of the first six on the IG I just started @leathernlaceartistry. I'll try to post them here
link is in my sig as well as my profile page if anyone is interested.

Thanks for the photos. Which lipsticks are these?
Sadly, they have discontinued Erotika. I'm bummed.
I recently ordered Dramatica, Stalker, Raunchy and Black Dahlia. Dramatica is my favorite, followed by Stalker! I'll try to post some lip swatches this weekend. I should be in bed right now.
I had also ordered Arabian Nights and Plum Fairy but those weren't in stock so I pre-ordered those. No indication on when those will be available again. I was looking forward to those two the most!
Took me almost an hour to photograph these. I don't know why it was so challenging to get really good pics, and the darker the shade, the harder/longer it was to capture. Please forgive the pic quality.
