Hi SN ladies,
I'm planning on a big lip gloss/blushes order so I need your advice regarding the colors on my cart if these would all suit me or if they are quite similar.
My cart has
Lip glosses:
- Aria
- Rhapsody
- Bobbi
- Nectar
- Rare Berry
- Summer Fling
- Fashionista
Blushes:
- Bronze Beauty
- Desert Plum
- Foxxy
- Embrace (sample)
- Flirt (sample)
Additional info about me: I'm Asian and I have light-medium skin. By the way, I already have Afterglow blush, Pout, Breathless, and Berry Crush since these are "must-haves".
Thanks in advance!
Cheers,
Joy

i think you have chosen great products in a wide range. of the lippies, i might go with just aria or rhapsody, but not both. IMO, they are similar, aria is just pinker and rhapsody leans warmer. I have light-medium warm skin and liked rhapsody much better ( in fact i lost aria and didn't care too much). I'm so glad to see nectar on your list--it's my all time fav.
the blushes you're getting sound great too. of those I only have bronze beauty (love) but the others are popular and I think they will look good. again it seems like you've chosen a good variety. embrace may be similar to desert plum when worn, and you may find flirt too light, but I still think it's worth getting samples. let us know how you like everything!

I agree with packgal......usually people prefer Aria or Rhapsody (I am a Rhapsody gal, too.) It just matters whether you like pinker (go with Aria) or browner (go with Rhapsody) lippies. Bobbi and Fashionista are similar in color, but the pigment level is different.....one being a lipstick and the other a gloss....so still different enough.
For blush you have a pretty good list, too. I agree with packgal that Flirt might be too light. Some glas love it for the ease of application....it is very hard to overdo it. Desert Plum and Embrace are kind of both darker versions of it....Desert Plum leans more plum, Embrace a slight bit red.
