Meddy how is the Crush Me Orange? I'm thinking of exchanging the copper for that one. Do you find it's pigmented enough and true to color?

The scent is nice---it's peachy. Here are swatches that I previously posted in the Sephora thread. It is true to color, and while the pigmentation may be suitable for the
product itself, it's just not what I expected.

Hmm. I only got one Dior Fluid Stick (Frisson) and I didn't like it so I didn't get any more. These have a completely different texture. Thinner, not sticky, more like an oily thin balm. If you have pigmented lips, I think your instincts are right to try Cherry my cherie or Pink about me. Those definitely seem to be more pigmented!

Good to hear Cherry My Cherie has good tint! I think you'll like peach. Or should I say "peach" LOL (since I don't think it's anything like peach)...but it's bright. And FWIW the peach also left the most stain when I swatched them on my arm, so you'll definitely maintain some tint on your lips even after the gloss is gone.

I mean I thought they're as pigmented as Fluid sticks at least, but it looks like they aren't. :(

Thank you! It does look nice in the swatch. My concern is it won't look like that on my lips. Now I'm paranoid they're all going to turn pink once I put them on LOL.

OK here you can see the pigment. Nothing on my top lip (told you my lips aren't pigmented LOL!) and one application of the tint oils on my bottom lip. More applications will give you more tint to a degree. Peach Me Love is the most pigmented (remember below is only one coat) and it will leave a stain on your lips long after the gloss fades. The copper one fades quickly to pink on me (this photo was taken right after application) so this is as copper as it gets on me. HTH!

Oh I hope not. I won't be wearing this alone, other than times when I'm at home having a makeup-free day. I will likely get more use by wearing it over lipstick, but this is
pretty much a one-and-done for me.

Tried over the weekend and I didn't have the same experience with Drive Me Copper that I had when I tested it a couple months back. Formula's nice, but the tint was minimal and it didn't last as long in my lips; however! - I attribute that to the fact that I was chewing gum so I'm going to try it again without chewing any gum and see if I get a different result.

If these don't have much colour, maybe Clarins lip comfort oil is a better choice. I have to see them in person first. http://britishbeautyblogger.com/clarins-instant-light-lip-comfort-oil/

Hmm, I think I lost interest in these as well. I think I will pick up one of the Clarins balms instead, maybe also their lip oil.

Just came across this swatch on Fabzilla http://www.thefabzilla.com/2014/12/yves-saint-laurent-volupte-tint-in-oil.html

I Rose You looks A MILLION times better and more pigmented on her than it does on me so don't be turned off by my swatches alone!

Good point. I've been sitting on my 3 shades unsure what to do. I do like the feel of the formula on my lips a lot. But I don't like the colors I chose. And I bought them with the Sephora $25 off gift certificate so if I return them I just lose the promo which stinks. *Sigh*

If I knew what I know now, I would probably only buy Undress Me, the nude shade, and just use it as a balm or a gloss to wear over lipsticks. Hindsight always 20/20!

In your defense, we were pretty excited about this new lip product. Lesson learned. Next time we'll approach w/caution.
