Ok quick update - I got the XXX and Mirage. XXX is actually really awesome when my lips are blocked out a little by my foundation. So in the morning it looks pretty close to what I want. Other times of the day it can be a little too brown, and still doesn't lighten quite enough, but at least it does...
