The new eyeshadows are so pretty! The lippies are lovely too. Having a hard time deciding which one to get. Colors under consideration - Black Dahlia, Sultry, Rapturous, Figment. I don't wear makeup daily, but the deeper colors esp the reds are too hot to resist. Uhmmmm....and I do need a red lippie to amp up dates with my hubby right? :lol: Justification, justification....

I'd go with Sultry...it's a deeper color, but I think it's pretty versatile, and good for date nights.

The new colors are so pretty. Aubergine and the muted metals are so tempting!

got my new stuff in the mail yesterday. i really restrained myself; only got figment lippie, papyrus e/s, and a sample of cider blush from the newest collection (plus a gumball of the lip stain, a few surprise me's, more peach sleep in a jar, and of course the GWP eyeshadow :)
haven't tried papyrus yet, but I LOOOOVE figment and cider. "plum" colored lippies always turn brown on my lips (which annoys me) but figment didn't! it's just a beautiful plummy shade that makes my lips look great! i''ll put a swatch of it on my vox page later on this evening if i can. and cider is so pretty--darker in the jar than the pic on the site, but true to the swatch shown on skin--this is an excellent fall blush color, i really love it.

I love your swatches! I'll check your site later, they are very helpful. Do you think that cider is wearable for the day if you have light skin? Its such a pretty color, but I'm out mostly during the daytime! :D

I'm wearing it today! It took me a second or two of fussing to get it to really work with the look I was going for, but it looks pretty! Cut it with some Perfecting Powder because it's super pigmented, but you should be fine after that.

Oh thanks Karen, I'm going to try it with my next order. It looks really pretty.

I just got my order today and I absolutely could not be happier with Bitten (sheer red) and Sweet Nothing (sheer mauve). These sheer colours (including Bonbon, Damsel, Seedy and Berry Nice) are the absolute best lippy I've ever used because they give me the pop of colour that I need but are controlable so that I can have just a hint or a deeper bolder colour. Yet without that heavy opaque base that lipsticks typically have, these work so well with my pale skin as the overall effect is so much more forgiving than the more formal looking lipstick formulas (high street). I never thought I could get a red or deep berry to work - yet I craved those colours. This is perfect and I'm sooo thrilled with them.

Put it this way, I'm so thrilled with them that I haven't even opened Aubergine yet and I *craved* that! hehe 8-)

I just received my first Silk Naturals order and I love the colors. I got Nekkid (haha), Boom, Harvest (free sample, woohoo!) eye shadows, some samples I haven't tried yet, like Date Bait, and the cherry lip stain gumball(what a cute name!). The eye shadows are very pretty, someone complimented me on Nekkid yesterday. And I love the lip stain! I've never seen anything like it. It's a beautiful bright red that never comes off. I ate lunch and it still looked great. I'm very pale so I looked a bit vampireish (someone commented on that too, haha) but I love it. It's the perfect time of year to look vampireish! haha
