Anyone tried Raisin?

Post by sewwies » Thu Feb 11, 2010 4:17 pm

I love crimson but I'm wondering whether Raisin would be too browney? I love the look of it but not sure whether it would suit, has anyone tried it? Here's crimson on

Wow! Look at those awesome red lips!

Raisin is kind of brownish... It looks great on my red-haired friend who loves brownish lipstick.

Haha it was a Moulin Rouge night, I kept a massive parker jacket on all night was so embarrassed to be out in my knickers! Not tried sultry no, crimson's great but I love more berry colours! Just checked out sultry, it's in my basket - thanks Jen! There's so many colours I haven't checked them all but that little devil looks perfect :) I swear I used to have a couple of stains, one red lipstick and some tinted balms/glosses, now I have a drawer full of those little sticks of joy :D I'm terrible for eating/smudging lip colours though when I'm out!

Shania Twain? Thats definately a new one! I'm sure my dad's friend used to live on the boat next door to her years and years ago... Thanks Cupcake!

I can't wear lots of browns, and I think raisin is absolutely gorgeous, but unfortunately on me (v. fair, blonde) it is too dark. I think it would look great on you.
It is more of a raisin (lol) than a brown, enough berry in there to be wearable :)
