Help me choose Lippies!

Post by new2pgh » Tue Jan 05, 2010 10:03 am

Morning! I'm hoping some of you can recommend the lippies I simply *must* own, as I'm trying to choose some new shades. Here's what I already own: Precious (my lips must be too pigmented - this looks almost the same as swiping on some lip balm for me), Berry nice (wear it in the spring and summer - it's light and shimmery on me), sultry, and black dahlia (both of which I LOVE). Since I'm getting ready to place an order, what others do I NEED? :D

I've tried to upload a pic to give you an idea of skin tone, hopefully it works!

Thanks!

Cultured. It is very similar to your natural color, which is great for work looks or when you want to do a more dramatic eye. I love it :)

If you're looking for a milky pink then Bloom. It's opaque with no shimmer.
If you're looking for a sheer red then Bitten. This one has no shimmer as well.
Cultured is nice too!
For a pop of pink I just got Soft and Damsel (both are sheer) and I just love them!

Fig Leaf...... ;) It is kind of the everyday version of Black Dahlia. Nectar would be great, too.

Looks like your lips are similar to mine. Here my everyday favorites:
Bobbi - muted and plummy, just a hint darker than your lips
Cultured - what the others said - or Centerfold and Maiden from the 'old school'
Soft - soft sheer pink
Fashionista - more coverage as it's a lipstick, similar to Bobbi
Daydream - cool light pink

For occasions:
Rapturous - muted rose lipstick
Crimson - might be too cool for your skin though, so you may want to try Hot Blooded
Centerfold with Ice Princess for pinkish nudish lips with some shine

Cultured, Pout, Soft and Bloom are my favorites but I keep ordering something and then receiving a sample of something else that I like even more. So now I've finally come to the conclusion that I just need all of them.
