Merlot or Purplish Lippie

Post by lairkeeper » Thu Nov 12, 2009 11:18 pm

I like cool deep berry or wine colored lippies and I'm dying to try a SN lippie. My favorite ever lip color is a sheer called "Ripe Raisin" that was discontinued years ago. Its what I'm wearing in my avatar. Click below for better view. So what's going to be the closest here?

Sheers that come to mind are Fig Leaf and Nectar......Fig Leaf is more Plum, Nectar more reddish. I think Birthday Suit might be too brown for what you want. In the vegan lip gloss- Black Dahlia is gorgeous, but it has shimmer.

I agree! I think that pic looks a lot like Nectar!

I think I'll start with Fig Leaf. If I can find the tiny bit of the lipstick I have left I may just have to send a smidge in and BEG for a dupe :D

Paula - I'm considering doing the same thing with my fave d/c Bobbi Brown lip sheer! I'm down to just a little bit left in the tube. It comes out only on special occ. :D I'm going to order a couple of SN's glosses/almost lipsticks first to see if A) I can dupe it that way and B) if not I can at least provide feedback on what I've tried that's maybe close.

I'm so wanting to try Confession, Vinyl and Apocalypse by Urban Decay but cannot bring myself to pay $22 for a lipstick and I hate that tube. Is there anyway to make a those colors with lipsafe minerals????
