I am putting together a cart of mostly lippies, and I thought it may be wise to ask for recommendations. Like most people I gravitate to certain colors, but I would love to know what colors you think would look best on me. I think that would really give me a fresh perspective and get me to try something new that I may not have tried, but that may end up being something I love.
Below is my pic, with my baby girl in it as a bonus. She is the reason I have been MIA for so long as she has been keeping me really busy. But I am excited to be excited about makeup again and get some pretties to play with!
My only restriction is I try and stay away from dyes. But actually if anyone would like to educate me in that area I would be grateful. I know FD&C dyes are approved for food, so I have always wondered if something like Iron Oxides and Mica is really safer, because those are not used in food(or are they?)

Eyeshadow recs are welcome too, I just try and not get too many as I have tons already. But I do want to get Phantom, as I am dying to try the new eyelights! :)

ok, nevermind about the dye thing, Karen explained it to me, and I feel totally fine using dyes now. So fell free to recommend any lippies, dyes or no dyes.

Hi Oxana :)
Aaaawww, your daughter is soooooo cute!! She`s got your nose, lol, cuteness :D

I don`t know if you have tried Infatuation, but I luuuurve that one, and I think it would be really pretty on you too! It is pink with very subtle plum undertones that isn`t too plummy, just gives the right pink that isn`t too overpowering at all. I find it an easy going pink that I don`t have to think about how I aply. It is not frosty on me, I have used up mine so need a new one soon!

Also I ADORE my Symphony (Black label)
It is a gentle red that I think could suit you too. It is not a sharp red, it is a red with some golden underlays but my lips doesn`t pick up that much, so on me it is a quiet red that doesn`t take over my lips, if you know what I mean? I don`t need a lipliner so it doesn`t bleed.
With your fair coloring it would look great I think, but don`t know if you are on a lookout for a red one...
And it feels so wonderfull on the lips too, feels like a moisturizing lipbalm.

Thanks so much for the suggestions. Yea, I'm not looking for any specific color, I just wanted to get some suggestions. Because I get used to only choosing certain colors, ya know? And I don't want to get in a rut.

I used to have Infatuation and I loved it actually. I wonder if I should get cool toned lippies, like plums and purples then?
But at the same time I like warm colors too, like ones with gold in them and peachy colors.
I wonder if that is ok, like if I can wear warm tones and cool tones, because I usually hear people say you are one or the other...

I actually used to have Symphony too, I can't remember why I got rid of it.... I think it is because I fear reds for some reason, because it is such a bold look. But perhaps I should try reds again, it seems to be a good color for fall.

I am filling up my cart with all the new lippies that have come out since I last ordered, and I really need help narrowing it down. I pretty much want all the ALGs and Buttercreams, lol.

I guess I was right when I thought to include Provoke in that little sample pack I sent you ;)
