Lovely!Pardon the "gimme my damn coffee look", but here's Wonderchilde. I bought it at JC Penney Sephora in Aurora, IL (on my way home to Iowa)

Both look great on you. Glad you like Adora as much as I do ^_^ I have the old one and thought the same thing just wanted to yell "ITS A METALLIC RED!!!". Gothica looks so natural on you and pairs with your skin tone perfectly.

Completely agree that's it all a matter of prepping your lips beforehand!Ignore my hair, I'm not actually going anywhere, but just got the two I ordered in the mail and had to try them on. Gothica on the left and Adora on the right. Gothica is a tad darker than I expected, but still gorgeous, and Adora is seriously my dream red! I had been looking for a metallic red lipstick for a while (though I usually can't afford more high-end makeup because bills *sigh*, so if it's not found at Walgreens or Target I'm usually pretty unaware), so when I saw that Studded Kiss had one, I had to jump on it as soon as I got paid! There's so many other colors I want to try, Wolvesmouth, Homegirl, Wonderchild and Coven being on the top of my list (as much as I'm not sure when I'll ever wear navy blue lipstick, it's too pretty a color not to have around lol). For those complaining that they're dry and patchy, it's really a matter of prep....exfoliating and moisturizing beforehand makes all the difference in the world. Leaving chapstick on for a while before putting on the lipstick really helps with the dryness (I personally don't find em that dry, but then again I've grown accustomed to cheap drugstore makeup), but yeah, I personally found I couldn't wear matte anything til I took on lip care as a 24/7 thing....I sleep with chapstick on even, and I wear it under all my various lip goo and if I choose to go without makeup I still wear chapstick. And I make sure to exfoliate my lips (I just use the same sugar scrub I use for my body) in the shower when I know I'll be wearing a matte lipstick. So maybe try that before assuming the stuff sucks? I've had it on for a couple hours now and while it doesn't feel moisturizing, it certainly doesn't feel dry and awful.

Thanks
I really like Gothica a lot! It's one of the lesser raved-about colors in the line, but it's truly something else. The pic doesn't even do it justice! I wouldn't say it looks "natural" on me, as it's super sparkly, but I already know how bronzy colors look on my lips, which is why I was confident to buy online without swatching. The other colors I want I need to see in person before dropping that kind of money lol.

Amazing on you babe Right those two were on my list I may just order and if don't suit me or I don't like I will just give to my sister or someoneIgnore my hair, I'm not actually going anywhere, but just got the two I ordered in the mail and had to try them on.

Saw the new lipsticks in store today. Poe and Coven were gone. No surprise. I did want to play w/ Coven, though just to see what it's like. Even the testers were absent. I walked away w/ Lovecraft. I will reserve judgement on the formula until I have worn it for a few hours at a time. The color is really pretty and can be worn with lots of looks. I like that it leans more pink than Bad Girl RiRi (my usual go-to). I was amused by Lolita being waaaaay darker than it is in liquid lipstick form. Other than that, nothing really jumped out at me. The packaging is really cool.

So I had one of my lipsticks open by itself in my bag (it was in an inside pocket by itself sitting looking up.. no idea how that happened)....
:/ not pleased... hopefully it wont happen again ...
Also coven just wont stick to the upper center of my lip, I am so frustrated and of course there's no lip liner to match it!

I wore Lovecraft for a few hour and man...it's not working. Don't like this formula. It dries up, cakes up and cracks on my lips. I can't feel it, but I sure as hell see it. Crackhead city. No thanks.

Coven is officially a disaster for me too. I have tried everything except gloss over top of it (which defeats the point of a matte lipstick entirely). Nothing works. Not balm, not exfoliating well the night before, not hydration, not non-matching lip liners (since I have nothing that matches it), not MAC's Prep & Prime. The only thing P&P managed to do was get it to apply easier without tugging, and getting it to (somewhat) stay on longer.
Otherwise-- still same type of problem, just less extreme. For the first 15 minutes or so, it looked okay. After that? Imagine eating a white powdered donut and the powder drying all over your lips before you can wipe it off. Basically the donut residue looks powdery, cakey, and draws extreme attention to every little line on your lips. Now image that in lavender. Voila, you have what Coven looks like on yours truly.
I'm stubborn so I will try it one more time with a gloss over it and see how that works. That still doesn't work, back to the store it goes. I can wear just about any kind of lipstick, even the cheapest of the cheap (ex. Wet 'n Wild, though I avoid them due to the scent), with the help of primer, so I know this isn't a problem on my end. The cost for this poor quality doesn't exactly make me happy either.
I did finally try Poe on its own, and that was somewhat patchy on me too and didn't want to stay on the center of my lower lip, but at least it wasn't dry. Will try that with P&P next to see how that helps. I am pleased with the color, though it will take some adjustment for me to get used to wearing a lipstick that's so dark. My rosy lips make it look more purple than navy though, which I loved.
Still have a couple more I purchased left to try. Will share thoughts on those once I've worn them.
