Aww you're too kind, JenW! Thank YOU for your descriptions, they're really so full of details and helpful, you're a great mod
Damsel sounds like it's just what I want like you said, and I think I'll throw in Ashley as well cuz I'd like to try that lil bit of warmth in the pink too! Off to order!

Both my packages finally arrived and i love love love the lippies & blushes that i ordered !!
Here are some pictures of me wearing the lippies.
For some weird reason, some colours turn out looking really similar in the pictures.
And please excuse the eyebags and the zits, i couldn't be bothered to put any make up on. so, it's just me bare-faced with the lippies.
Rhys, thanks to you, i finally found a red lippie that works for me. Hot blooded is gorgeous!!!
The only colour for this batch of order that doesn't really work for me is fearless. it's too bright for me. I was thinking of returning it but I'm sure there will be times where i need a bright pink lippie plus i haven't tried pairing it with anything yet. Any idea, what colour i can pair it with to tame the colour down a bit??
Warning : you might get liljooules overdosed!!

Liljooules you look soo cute!!

And I actually think Fearless looks pretty hot on you

Definitely keep it. Is there any way to see the attachments a bit bigger at all? I can't see much of xoxo for example... do you need to download them somehow to see them big?

Thanks a lot for the swatches!!

I really think you rock fearless! You should keep it. Rhys got me talked into Hot blooded and I am convinced it would look good on most skin tones, it looks great on me as well and it appears our skin tones are similar.

liljooules, you look so pretty in all the colours, but can't really see the differences properly as the pics r quite small, wish they could be made bigger! Though I can see that Fearless is obviously fearlessly bright!

duhmoms : I've been putting fearless on only to wipe it off later for so many times now that i think i'm actually getting used to how it looks on me. I will keep the colour but i don't think i'll be reaching for it often. I think it's definitely going to be great for girls night out.
Rhys : i don't like hot-blooded, i LOVE hot blooded!! And yes, i can definitely see how you girls became addicts! I'm giving myself all sort of reasons to convince myself to get the other shades!
Sandylee : Thanks sandylee! Some of the shades do appear pretty similar in the pictures but if it's larger, you may notice some difference and they definitely look diff in real. Like what i've told miyu, if you really want to see the bigger pictures, PM me your email add and i'll send them to you!! fearless is definitely fierce. p/s : tickled pink really do look a lot like pout. only that it's more pigmented. you are going to love it!!
Anyway, here are descriptions on how the colours look on my lips.
darling : It's a MLBB shade for me with a glossy finish. It's a sheer warm peachie shade with enough pink so it doesn't look too orange/coral. Perfect for warm skintone.
hot-blooded : The colour reminds me of the colour of red bricks. deep muted red with a little brown to warm it up but sheer enough to not make you look old. I think this is one of those few colours that works for cool and warm skintone.
foreplay : Almost like darling + gold blush for me but a more pigmented darling wit the shimmer from gold blush.
Capricious : a very pretty pink + coral shade. For girls that prefer more neutral shades, this might be a little bright for you.
tickled pink : a more pigmented shimmery version of pout!! very pretty.
xoxo : think berry crush but with more red and more pigmented. very shimmery too!! It says mauve in the site but the beige glitter warms it up.
grace : definitely one of my favourites. a nude shade but the soft rosy pink in it brings back some colour to the face. I can see myself wearing this everyday!
rapture : i would say this is like grace but a darker hue of rosy pink. sounds like a cool shade but it works for me and i'm yellow!
fearless : picture says it all. it's fierce!!!
swept away : a darker version of grace but instead of more pink like rapture, it has more brown. so i would say it's more of a brown-ish shade with some pink in it.
these descriptions are based on how they look like on my lips which are pretty pigmented. I'm sure some girls out there (JenW and Rhys) have more accurate descriptions. They are the lippie gurus!!
