They all looked wonderful on you!! They shipped today, I'll definitely post pictures when they arrive.

The arrived! So far I've only played with Black Metal Dahlia. Damn, it is hard to get clean lines with those cheap brushes included in the box. Both of my brushes were frayed at the end, and would keep getting product outside my lip line. Luckily I have a few nice lip brushes, which helped me out a bit. I really like BMD, I was worried it would be too vampy on my pale skin. It's actually a beautiful deep shimmery color. Definitely a great purchase for fall/winter!

Stunning!I have BMD too and every time I wear it hubby loves it. The best part is that it's not gritty being that it's a metallic finish.The arrived! So far I've only played with Black Metal Dahlia. Damn, it is hard to get clean lines with those cheap brushes included in the box.

I have a question for the OCC lip tar lovers..I recently tried the lip tars and found that the color is vibrant but fades almost like it oxidizes..My question is do I need to use the primer to keep that from happening? I love them, though they smell hella weird...but would like to keep the true color. Any suggestions??

Never heard that one before...are you saying the color changes? Or is it just fading? Are you using a lip balm underneath? You may be using too much. I have the primer but I only use it to mix with other colors to make them more glossy...not a fan of it as a primer (I use my Jack Black under all lip products or a lip pencil if I want to make the wear even longer)

The color just dulls down. I have dark lips so I wonder if when it dries, my lips are causing the darker tone. Thanks though, they have a holiday set that I must have so I guess I'll just have to deal with it.

It may be your natural lip color doing that. Try putting on a layer, allow it to dry down, then apply a second thinner layer. See if that helps the color more opaque.

I often have to apply in layers to get the color I want.

Well, I finally tried my sample of Mein Herr... I'll need to try it again and get good pictures, though (I was going to pair it with a smokey eye... and then my 20 pound cat jumped on me while I was applying my eyeshadow, and let's just say I don't have any good FotD photos from today).
I think I'll probably like it more layered over or mixed with something else... I know I wanted to experiment with neutrals, but for someone who's used to going for big color when it comes to lip products, those experiments are sometimes a little underwhelming to me. It doesn't have the gold sheen of Hollywood, but it's still a bit glossy... I'm normally a bigger fan of mattes, and not huge into glosses, so this one might not be right for me. I'll play around with it a little more before making a final verdict, and I'll see if my sister likes it, as she loves glosses and neutrals. Maybe she'll want to help me go through my rather generous Sephora sample.
So far the score on the samples is: Sebastian- LOVE IT, Hollywood- kind of digging it but maybe not enough to splurge on the full size, Mein Herr- probably a miss for me. And I haven't played with my sample of Pris yet because having Technopagan's glorious blue-purple has slowed down the neutral experimentation train. Slowed down the anything-but-blue-lips train, actually.
(the standout feature of Mein Herr for me right now is that it gets the song stuck in my head whenever I look at it)
