My Huggables just arrived. Here's a photo of, from left to right, I'm Game, Flaming Lips and Dramatical, with Red Necessity swatched above for comparison. I am currently wearing Dramatical, which is not as dramatic as its name suggests - it's very wearable, even for everyday wear.

Photo taken in daylight on my window sill, but it's not a very bright day out there.

Huggables are up on the Canadian site too.

I bought six of these last year and loved them. I so wish I could replace Rich Marron and Out for Passion. I still have Rusty and Fresh & Frisky.

Today I ordered:

Flaming Lips
Play it Soft
I'm In
Bare Hug

I hope they haven't messed up the formula. These, Patentpolish, NARS Semi-Sheers and a few favourite lustres (Capricious, Sophisto, and See Sheer) are my staple lippies now.

If I remember right you mentioned in another post that you liked these best due to getting older. I've noticed big changes in my lips in the past year that make mattes and some satins not look as good as they used to. I've been leaning toward more creamy formulas, especially if the color is light. For that reason I'm going to try these because I've heard they're really good for "mature" lips (as if our lips are immature when we're younger. He he). I'm looking forward to seeing your swatches!

I LOVE these lipsticks. I suffer from extremely dry lips and these are so comfy to wear. I've ordered every single colour (we won't be telling the hubby that!)

I just got my Huggable order today, yay! :love: I wanted something more brighter than my usual nudes and soft rose safety zone so I went with "I'm Game". I gotta say, I quite like it! It leaves a really nice stain and, as most Huggable fans know, these lipsticks are so comfy to wear. I think I have to go back for seconds...or thirds :> I now know I for sure love the formula, so I am willing to experiment with colours. I usually steer away from reds because I have kind of given up on finding a red I feel comfortable in. BUT...I am really tempted to try a red in this formula. I'm leaning towards Flaming Lips more since Dramatical looks more vibrant and scary, lol. I am so glad these Huggables are as good as the first release. No sneaky formula changes, phew!

Dramatical isn't at all scary. I'm not one for loud colours, as I'm around NW10, and this one is very wearable, even for daytime. I discovered that Flaming Lips 'bleeds' easily. It's a good thing I noticed before I left the house wearing it, as it was quite bad. I need to use a lip primer or something, to stop it going into all the really fine lines around my mouth.

I'm glad that I read this, as I was thinking of buying "Flaming Lips" mostly because I like the name. I'll skip that, though - I have enough reds anyhow.

I received the rest of the huggable lipsticks today. I've got to say my favourites are I'm In and Glamorized. They are all beautiful!

That's what I'm going to try first. Can anyone compare these to the Mineralize lipsticks as far as comfort, finish and how long they last?

I haven't tried mineralize. I have extremely dry lips so I hope these ones work for me

Almost every semi loud color bleeds on me and the only thing that works for me is DuWop Reverse lip liner and it works every time. I got it in a kit as gratis when I worked at Sephora a long time ago and I've used it ever since.

I have some big things coming up for myself so I'm taking it easy with my orders now, but I did get Fashion Force and Play it Soft. Of course I threw in a couple pro pans because I can never get away with just a couple things.

I just tested these against Mineralize Rich Dreaminess and the Mineralize is a little bit richer in the feel and the Huggables are creamier, just a tiny bit though. I took some pictures so you can get a feel for the opacity.



These are my bare lips.



That's Mineralize Rich in Dreaminess.



That's Fashion Force. I wasn't sure about this one, but wanted to try it and I'm glad I did. It's a fun color!



That one is Play it Soft. It's just a nice little pop of color.

Man, Fashion Force looks fab. I kind of want it now. Looks like perfect summer weight lipstick/lip colour.
