It works better way, but shouldn't it be marketed as such?Marinanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-41189219151519885492012-07-12T01:11:48.217-04:002012-07-12T01:11:48.217-04:00Hi Marina,

I'm glad to hear that this is a temporary glitch in quality, and that Mr. Bess is taking immediate action to satisfy both his standards for excellence and his customers' expectations.Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01395441690192175066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-20975528558187901932012-07-11T17:30:57.477-04:002012-07-11T17:30:57.477-04:00Hi Marina,

The thing that really saddened me was that the colors were absolutely gorgeous without being gimmicky; modern without being trendy. In short, classic Edward Bess. Had the quality been up to par, I would have left the counter with 4-6 new lip products.
