Cultured vs. Polished Pink Vegan Gloss

[rubycat95]

Can anyone compare these 2 for me? I love Polished Pink's brownish/pink color, and am having trouble deciding if Cultured is something I need too. I also have and love Maiden, so if it's very close to that one maybe I should skip it? I just love the vegan formula! Thanks to anyone who can offer advice.

Oh, I love the vegan formula too! I only have Polished Pink and Maiden right now, and Cultured soon in the mail (yay!).

If nobody else gets back to you before I get mine, I'll be happy to compare. Let me just say, I couldn't resist but order almost all the new lippies, even though some of them looked kinda similar to each other and to what I have. You never know when just one little shade difference will make for the perfect color! Perfect for that day and make up that is, because there is always tomorrow

Thanks, I'll look forward to your thoughts! Oh, and if you had to choose a favorite between PP and Maiden what would yours be? I think mine is Maiden, I just love it!

[egerandi]

Yes, I kinda prefer Maiden too. PP is pretty, but it's leaning into the brownish/mauve-ish shades that don't always work on me. Maiden is my go to lippie when I don't wanna figure out what I want to wear.

polished pink is sheerer in application and browner than cultured

eta: I've lip-swatched pretty much all the lippies on my vox page if you'd like to swatch shop, that's why it's there: xarata.vox.com

Sounds like we have pretty similar tastes in lippie shades.......

Thank you so much, Samantha!

Package arrived, and I'm trying on all my new lippies - poor lips will need a bit of a break from all the swiping, rubbing off with tp (ouch, i know, not good) and swiping on new color again. Thankfully, the lippies are soooo nurturing, I'll be fine

Cultured is an instant success, but for some reason on my lips they are much closer to Centerfold than Maiden. I did a side by side (half lip Cultured the other half Centerfold), and I could barely tell the difference. They don't look alike in the tube, and Cultured is perhaps sliiiightly pinker and more colored than Centerfold, and they feel a bit different too as they go on. I just am running out of Centerfold, so I'm considering Cultured as a comparable substitute, we'll see.

Polished Pink is indeed browner and shows up darker on me.

I hope this helps too, sorry I can't post lip swatches.

Thank you so much for your description! I don't have Centerfold, but it sounds like I must have Cultured afterall
