Yep, the finish is the reason I'm skipping RH too. I have several Retro Mattes (the Riri ones, FOF and FOD). Much as I love the colours I hardly ever reach for them.
They make my lips look like they've shrunk in the wash.
I can't really say that RMs would be more difficult on me than mattes as all mattes are kind of a struggle for me (although not so much the darker, more pigmented ones). Like today I'm wearing Oxblood and at first I tried to wear it like any lippie, but soon it looked like separated milk on my lips. P&P Lip did not help much, so I had to pull out a Mineralize Lip Balm.
Needless to say I've been really enjoying the recent SATINS!

Studded Kiss is now perm because its one of my favorite reds, but I rarely used it in order to save it. Now I can use it as much as I want.
Now I have a back up of Instigator that I don't need LOL.
