@pocketvenus Think it had just come out UK time that night so at least it was right ahead of any US launch etc plus her video so it was helpful to at least get any additional info! 💞

[CookieGirl1]

@Sunnysmom I would never have guessed that one.  Seems like an interesting launch for her 🤔.

[Sunnysmom]

Same with me @CookieGirl1 ! A stumper to be sure. I resisted, you?!  My wallet is happy which is a good thing! 

[CookieGirl1]

@Sunnysmom easy pass for me, too.

[greeneyedgirl107]

@Sunnysmom I got mixed up and thought this brand was coming to Sephora.   Bummer.

[Sunnysmom]

That would be grand @greeneyedgirl107 ! 💞

Any idea what this new release is @Sunnysmom? 

A reminder, it’ll be Saturday, April 22 at 9PM Pacific / 10PM Mountain / 11PM Central and Sunday, April 23 12midnight Eastern Time.

[Sunnysmom]

I don’t know @itsfi ! The drops on the top?! Hmm. Cushion? No clue. Lol. Thanks for doing the math for us all on the timing!!😆 🥰 It’s usually 8 PST so this is better! Or maybe the last one was too. In any event thank you for that! 😘

[itsfi]

Ooh, I hadn’t thought of a cushion @Sunnysmom. 🤔 That would be interesting. I haven’t been following her product launches very closely since her foundation came out 😬 but we will know soon enough.

I’ve been having calls with folks in the UK so my mind always goes to, “wait, what time is that for us?”

[Sunnysmom]

Ya @itsfi , I wonder what it is?! It’s stumping me. 🤣 I kind of forgot about her too as I didn’t get any of her recent restocks etc. That’s awesome. Are you speaking with a fun royal accent now. 😬 I just keep thinking ok, 8 hours from us , 8 hours lol. 🤦🏻‍♀️

[CookieGirl1]

@Sunnysmom what about a foundation stick?  Like, if that was a top down pic?

[Sunnysmom]

Yes could def be @CookieGirl1 considering her love for the perfect foundation too! Totally looks like a top down to me. The drops because moisturizing?!  Great sleuthing! 🕵️‍♀️

[CookieGirl1]

Ohhhhh 💗💋

Oh of course I'll need to try this 🤣 @CookieGirl1 

[CookieGirl1]

@lmaster I kinda figured 😉

[itsfi]

For science 🧪🧫🔬 @lmaster @CookieGirl1 

[lmaster]

@itsfi @CookieGirl1 oh of course, and...I can't resist the sounds of apple!!

[CookieGirl1]

@lmaster lookie 🙂

I haven't even used it yet.

[lmaster]

What!?? They have it in store?? @CookieGirl1 tell me please how you like it 🙏

[CookieGirl1]

OK, @lmaster, @itsfi , I've haven't used it very much (I've hardly been home the last couple of days and it isn't exactly an on-the-go/purse product, lol) but I have some initial thoughts.

I was initially disappointed when I first opened the jar because my first thought was, "Why doesn't it smell like apple?!"  However, as soon as I dug into it with a little spatula I got a whiff of a light, sweet apple scent.  It's not super-strong and once it's on my lips I can only detect the scent for a short time but it's enough to be there.  

The consistency isn't what I expected because when I scooped it out I thought that it felt just slightly stiff and thick--expected for a lip mask--but upon applying it, it's as though it emulsifies into a slightly oily consistency, almost like the cleansing balm!  It ends up feeling much thinner on the lips than one might initially think and for that reason I don't honestly find that it lasts as long nor does it give quite as much of the intense hydration as I might have hoped BUT for people who hate a thick balm, this would be perfect.  It's absolutely nothing like either the LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask Intense Hydration with Vitamin C, the Tatcha The Kissu Lip Mask Original,or LAWLESS Forget The Filler Overnight Lip Plumping Mask, just to compare it to a few of other balms that Sephora carries. 

Do I like it?  Yes.  Is it an instant favorite?  No, I don't feel that way about it only because I hoped that it would be just a tad more nourishing and last a bit longer but it may just be one of those things that I end up liking and appreciating more after I've had more time to use it.

Ok thank you for this! @CookieGirl1
