Anyone know if Mattenes may come back

and be perm with some additional colors like the Slimshines did? I could seriously LOVE the Mattenes if they'd include some softer/more muted shades....I watched Gone With the Wind on TV last night and damn do I want Scarlett O'Hara's lip color in a Mattene!!! It was a soft pinky coral, at least on my screen.

ETA: I did a Live Chat today and to their knowledge there are no plans so far.

I sure hope so! I absolutely LOOOOVE the Mattenes. Such rich color pigmentation, smooth, not drying like many other matte lipsticks. Plus the staying power is awesome. I'd love to see these as a perm product

I wish they would! I think the mattenes are a hundred times better than the slimshines, and they brought those back. But that's all a matter of opinion. They are such wonderfully smooth, creamy, beautiful lipsticks! Hope they make a comeback.

I hope so too! I missed out on 40's Pink. =[ The color range could definitely stand to improve if they do reintroduce it.

I too loved the mattenes- they were gorgeous on. Did anyone else notice that these did tend to migrate when gloss was put on top though?

Email Customer Service via the website and let them know that you want them back.

Yep just what Lara said. That's why Slimshines are perm now. I for one have written multiple e-mails lol. I love Mattenne

It's a possibility, but they aren't doing as well as the Slimshines did. There are still quite a bit available online, whereas the Slimshines sold pretty quickly.

I could be completely off base but I think a big part of that is because of the shade selection -- too many dark and really bright colors IMHO. The tamer colors are all gone.

I really hope they come back. I wrote an email when they first came out and said how I loved the texture and staying power. I guess I need to write up more begging them to bring it back. lol.

You're spot on with that assessment.

The nature of the Slimshines made them a more wearable product, as well. The Mattenes weren't for everyone. More people will reach for a sheer, glossy colour than they will a matte.

If we see the Mattenes again, I imagine it won't be until fall.

If they release the Mattene as a perm collection, my opinion is that they will change the colors and make more nude, beige and pink maybe.
I do like the persent colors but they are not easy to wear for every day though but so pigmented!
Keep us posted if you know about a possible release!

I loved mattenes. I know some of them felt a bit dry but the colors, especially rapturous and rougette, were gorgeous
