i got my gratis for them yesterday... they are VERY opaque and pigmented! maybe slightly more than laquers. and there arent a lot of pearly metallic-y ones. more matte or matte-like colors so they really are like liquid lipstick. and VERY high shine. they smell different than lipglass but come in same tube and have a doe-foot applicator like lipglass. i can imagine a brush one being WAYY too much for something so opaque and glossy.
i havent heard ANYTHING about laquers being discontinued though. and these lipvarnishes ARE LE for sure. our trainers made that clear. also i dont know if chromeglass will replace laquers but i do know they will be re-released
along with... creamstick pearl lipliners
