Need some help with lip glosses + more

Post by January » Thu Jan 07, 2010 3:40 pm

Hi, I am trying to fill a cart, I am mostly purchasing lip gloss and lip stick. I have quite a large cart though, and I am beginning to wonder if I am picking colors that are too similar. I am wanting to try out some nude shades, I put in the xxx ultra nude lipstick along with other nude glosses because I figured the xxx would be good for really blotting out my sometimes very pigmented lips. I don't like anything straight up burnt orange in color, and I think I've avoided anything like that, but let me know if I didn't. If I have chosen colors that are just too similar to really bother with getting both please let me know. :) At the bottom of the list I have included a picture of me, and if any colors just wouldn't look good, please let me know. I am yellow and olive toned, and obviously the rest of my description can be summed up by "brown".

Here is my list:

Negligee
XXX Ultra Nude
Crimson
Mimosa
Maiden
Nude Beach
Bitten
Precious
Caramel
Aria
Breathless
Centerfold
Cultured
Mirage
Gleaming

As for the rest....

I have blue purple and red purple under eye circles so I was going to get both Sleep in a Jar colors, hope that's a good idea.

Does the Clear Cream Liner help to keep eye shadow on the waterline? If it does that would be great, I'd rather use the e/s I have as liner then go looking for an all natural liner pencil. Sorry I'd go searching for the answers to these questions myself but I have a cold and don't want to read more than I have to, or think....

I'm sure my order will be large enough to qualify me for a free e/s, so is there any one e/s that looks great on brown eyes that I have to have? Here is a picture of my eyes if that helps, they're looking red brown like my mother's cherry wood china cabinet lately. Pay no attention to bright blue. :oops:

January I don't have a lot of these shades, but I have several of them. We seem to have similiar coloring, I think I may be a bit fairer than you and I think you may have more pigmented lips than I do, but the following lippies I have and they look great on me.

NudeBeach, Pinky/Bronze shimmer I love this in the summer especially
Aria is MLBB it a Warm tone pink nude, love,love this one :D
Maiden is also MLBB but slightly more peachy than Aria
Breathless is a nice matte pink, but not too pink. There is just enough brown in it so it doesn't look Barbie pink
Centerfold is my favorite nude lippie. It is a pink tan, most nudes are too brown for me but this shade is just perfect
Precious is pretty, but the pink part doesn't show on me, just the golden pearl. It is very pretty for natural look.
Mimosa is a really pretty golden peach color. I think it would look amazing on you.

That is all I have. Hope it helps a bit and once you get your I would love to hear review, as we seem close in skintone.

Thank you very much Iwoodall! The colors you mentioned all sound even more gorgeous than they did before. I have a feeling I will end up getting all of them :roll:, unless someone says that two look exactly alike when on. :lol: I will review what I get for sure, maybe even post pics. :)

Any must have e/s? I take it your eyes must be brown like mine, but I can't tell from the tiny avatar. :)

Oh I bet Ingenue and Verve would look great on you too!!! Ingenue seems like a more pigmented version of Maiden and Verve is a pretty Coral, it has just enough red not to make it scary.

I'll have to keep Ingenue and Verve on my mental wishlist. We'll see if my husband will ever let me get more lip gloss after I place my order. :lol:

Yeah my eyes are brown...What colors are you into?

I think these would look great on you

Fire
Brimstone
Pop
Charming
Grassroots Green
Burnished (One of my favorites for crease, or liner color)
Aubergine (Great liner color)
Chocoloate Twinkle or Vogue for a brown liner color

I am sure there are a tone more, but I really like those colors.

Thank you I will look those colors up. :) I'm into all kinds of colors, but I love to hear what colors are HG for other people with brown eyes. :D
