For my own reference, here are some more comparison swatches: Aria on left, Soft on right http://www.silknaturals.com/creb/images/aria.jpg http://www.silknaturals.com/creb/images/soft.jpg http://www.silknaturals.com/creb/images/bllabelsw.jpg http://www.silknaturals.com/creb/images/falllipswatch.jpg

There are two ways to mute a hue (a pure color): with gray or with brown. Kim Kardashian looks like she's wearing an opaque pink softened with gray. MAC describes Angel lipstick as "Soft pink (Frost)." NARS describes Turkish Delight lipgloss as "pink sorbet." Karen's lipsticks of...

Thanks, ladies! Soft it is!

I'm reviving this thread because I'm trying to decide on a pink lip gloss. The sheer lip glosses are exactly what I'm seeking, so I've narrowed down my choices to Damsel, Soft, Seedy, and Berry Nice. Are they all the same amount of pigmentation? I only want to get one of these four so I'd appreciate...

BE describes Fulfill as mauve/pink. A search for mauve blush on SN's site results in Embrace (BB Mauve clone).

Lip stain is the cosmetic I use most often so a true red lip stain would be fabulous. However, I read previously that Karen is iffy about formulating lip products with parabens. Here ar...

tizzylou, are you referring to BE's "Eye Quickie - Cool/Warm"? (http://store.bareescentuals.com/Eye+Quickie+-+Cool/Warm/36157,default,pd.html?cgid=BE_SUB_COLLECTIONS) I wasn't able to capture the product image, but here's its description: Layer your lids in soft illumination with transluce...

Are the Colors for a Cause items disappearing from the website at the end of October? For example, I noticed that Rare Berry is still available even though it's described as limited edition.
