Did you ever have a chance to try Divine Kiss Bliss when we had it? Did it work for you?
I'm looking for the same thing and Divine was the closest, but still too brown / tan for me. It needed to be greyer / pinker but still as pale. Bloom is too bright and cheery. I'm looking for something like this:

... but I need it to be grey / pink and not tan / brown / beige because I have no orangey-tan in my skin at all. All these beiges work great if you've got some colour but if you're as pale as milk, the tan-beige thing doesn't work as it needs to be grey-pink.

I tossed a Fig Leaf in my first order. Can't wait until it gets here.

I have pigmented lips, and Centerfold (best) and Cultured has very close to that effect you're looking for on my lips. Polished Pink is actually a bit too brown for my taste.

Divine was lovely, and I also like Mirage, but neither is really pink enough. I just loved Divine, and was sad when it went d/c. I think that layering XXX with Polished Pink would be perfect, but sadly, layering is just... too... complicated for me, since I never find myself in front of a mirror to do a touch-up. I want something I can just swipe on.

I haven't tried Sparkle but it's on my wish list.

Centerfold looks really bright on me. I was surprised. I thought it would be really good, but it looks kind of orange/red on me.

Zeebs,
I would give Cultured a go........It is similar to Mirage, but a little pinker.
