I never noticed a scent either. So guess some people are more sensitive to smell then others. Sort of like food. My idea of slightly spicy, puts some people into a screaming frenzy down the hallway looking for a bucket of water!!!!

I ordered Rose du Desert and the Leanue Lip Definder...

I'll order a matte when the temps cool off...I have a feeling once they are exposed to a certain temp they are more susceptible to cracking/breaking.

Very nice choice!!!!! The lip 'Definders' are fun, and fit nicely into my makeup bag. The breakage issue is unnerving. I noticed the canister was cold to touch because
the room was pretty cool--the metal holds the temperature.

Yep- if they are all metal and hold the heat, I bet it's part of the problem. Maybe short excursions are fine, but the temp these lipsticks have been traveling in and for the number of days they are in the heat...maybe it won't happen the first time right away but if you expose it for longer periods the bullet expands and separates from the base that holds it.

Or the whole thing just gets soft and melty and never firms up. That's what happened to me. Even overnight in the fridge couldn't save it.. I think it has to do with the packaging, too. It's pretty but impractical.

I'm pretty sensitive to certain perfumes and scents. If this CL sheer stinks I'll be one unhappy chick. Well at least until the Guerlain Christmas stuff comes in....

Yep, I'm pretty sure in that post she said she wouldn't be getting any? I could be remembering wrong though. I got to smell a matte today and they're too perfumey for my sensitive nose. Sometimes my sensitivities save me big bucks. Unless the satins really are less scented? I think I read that someplace.
And they do taste perfumey after a few swipes around. Love of the formula might overtake that, but, on the other hand, TF is gorgeous and doesn't taste like perfume. I'm still on the fence some.

They do have a perfumey smell and SLIGHT taste. It's not major, but yeah, it's there.

I am thinking with my lifestyle, fires, hot *******s, air travel, these are not going to be a huge part of my stash. Yes, I will love the red, once it gets here. But not sure about the rest. Not practical for the goofy life I have.

The red is soooooo beautiful & I'm sure it will be fine...mine is.

I'm pretty sure someone posted this earlier in one of the posts with several links, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Dxk9IZy8bI , but I wanted to say, this is the BEST way to pick a lipstick!!! I could REALLY tell what the texture and consistency and pigmentation were like watching it applied close up. I was thinking I didn't like the rouge matte that much because it seemed kind of dry, but then when she finished the lip it looked PERFECT. So I'm still getting that, and JN looked AMAZING. If only she would do Miss Loubi and Bikini all of my problems would be solved! Although she made me intrigued by Pluminette, which I did not need.

Mine are on back order from NM and I'm already contemplating what to get next. I'm most excited for the matte Rouge, followed by Zoulou!
Yazmin, a little Zoulou love. It arrived unbroken. I love it, and find it easily wearable. Excuse the bed-head-----I
was tussling on the floor with my pooch. Zoulou and Me Nude rank high as favorites for me.
This is a perfect color for you! I can't wait to get mine! Did consider Me Nude, but I think it'll be too light for me on its own.
