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)
