Thanks for posting. For once both are an easy pass for me. I can't stand that 6x lip stuff and the rose noir gets lousy reviews. Only thing I'll order is the new pink shade of lipsticks he's offering. I get off light this time.
@BlingQueen022 Where did you see that the Rose Noir Balm gets lousy reviews? It's currently not being offered alone, but I clicked onto the listing via my orders and it gets an overall score of 72%. That may not be stellar, but I don't think it's exaclty lousy either. And upon further reading of 3 star and below reviews, several of them didn't really seem justified. JMHO

@JeanLouiseFinch Hi JeanLouiseFinch: It was offered alone for like I think 48 dollars. It didn't get very good reviews. Most of the reviews said it left the faces of the women dry and they noticed no difference at all using it or without using it. Also, the container was very small and not a lot of product in it for the money. I read those reviews when the product was offered as a single item. It was offered as a single item for quite some time.

@Krissy_1968 Hi Krissy: I guess what works for one won't work for others. I'm just leary on trying that product when it was offered singly at a high price. At the time it just didn't get very good reviews. A lot were mixed. I think this trip I'm going to just stick with the new shades of his pink lipsticks. Been looking for a good mauve color pink lipstick and hopefully his will be the one I'll love. Been on the hunt for that for quite some time.

I missed the birthday pricing on a set I wanted. I'm wondering if there will be any special shipping/handling deals this weekend.

@BlingQueen022 yes, that's the listing I'm looking at. I made a mistake in saying it got a 72% score. It has 4 stars with 72% of reviewers (23 out of 32) saying they'd recommend it. Yes, there werer some reviews that said they didn't get the expected results, but there were several of those 3 stars and under who said they didn't like the consistency or the jar was too small. IMO, those kinds of reviews, while they factor into the overall average, shouldn't be take into account because it's not the product's fault if the person didn't pay attention to the fine print on the size or pay attention to Dimitri when he described it. With no water in the product and it only containing good ingredients it makes sense that it's going to cost a bit more. Again, JMO.

The only things I use of his anymore are the lip products (except for the matte lipsticks, they are way too dry for me) and his mascara - the Ultimate Volume is fabulous. Oh, and i LOVE the Collagenesis body oil - the regular pink one and the tinted one.

I gave up on his facial products. They just don't do anything for my skin and there are WAY too many of them.

I think that every time I see Dimitri his face gets tighter and tighter looking. And I don't think it's his products.......

@Krissy_1968 Thanks for the tip. I will mosey on over there and take a look. I have to say it was a pleasure for once to see Dimitri doing these pink lipsticks and gloss instead of the cherry red shades. I'm going to make it a point to be up at midnight when he airs to get at least one of the kits I saw. I did just received his lip party kit and can you beieve I ordered it well over a month ago and just now received it. Love the colors he has in that one. There are two kits that are new one with the lip plumper and one with the contour pallette. I think I'll try the one with the lip plumper because I don't have that product and one of the lipstick shades are repeated in that kit for the lesser price.

I was pretty irritated when I checked the reviews after the Rose Noir Anhydrous Relief BALM was released, @JeanLouiseFinch . As you know, it is not intended to be a moisturizer per se, but an anhydrous balm for those of us requiring additional moisture ...in addition to a moisturizer. As is the case so often, customers don't read or review videos for the application and thus come away dissatisfied. Glad you're satisfied with your AD purchase. I wouldn't be without an anhydrous balm here with my dry skin, especially this time of the year.

A Dimitri Dazzler. Need I say More?

Hi @HappyDaze yes I find his gloss sticks his MOST moisturizing lip color product...I ordered a kit with his 6 original colors about a year ago and loved Tender, Petal and Naked...the watermelon was ok, the honey and cherry a bit dark for me but ok too...I tried his newer set of 6 colors and could not find one I liked so I hunted my faves on his website and on ebay...I am down to my last tender so time to go to his site and order a few...it is very close to my HG lipstick Sequin by Mac in color and texture...that is a lippy I am never without... I try other Mac colors in the pinky/plum range but never find one I like as much as Sequin...if they EVER discontinue it, I will fly to Canada go to MAC hq and kick some %@$ LOL
