I use the clear one from Alba Botanica. It's a bit sticky and doesn't last, but that means you can go and use 5 different kind of concoctions in a day, or more ;)
Tart Light looks really nice, so I take Tart would too. The great thing about mixing like this is that you make it as opaque or sheer as you want, and mix in others for different effect. Superfun, but I can't wait for Karen to come out with her own base, if that's in the plans.

Thanks, I'll have to look for that gloss! I'm addicted to the scent of Alba Botanica's Pineapple face wash...make forget about winter for a brief moment! :P

I love custom mixing things since I've always had a hard time wearing things straight off the shelf, so the lip gloss should be fun. I imagine a gloss base from Karen would be divine!

tart is one of my favorite blushes to use as a lip gloss. i've tried damsel and thought it too bright for me, so if tart light looks a little much, try tart. my other favorite blush glosses are stardust (beautiful on lips which is good cause it's light and doesn't show up on my cheeks well), pretty plum, bronze beauty and cosmic (another color i don't like on myself as a blush, but as a lip gloss, it's awesome).
i have lip swatches of all these blushes made into glosses on my vox page--link below.

I took an empty e/s pot from SN and sliced off some of my SN lip balm. Then I sprinkled in some stellar blush and mixed it up with a knife. It really mixed well and now I have a nice sheer pink lip gloss from Silk Naturals!! Stellar is so pretty.

Thanks for the link, I checked the pics out, you are so beautiful! What a gorgeous smile you have.

Satisfied and Tart made into glosses look just like I imagined they would! Satisfied blush looks the same on you as it does me, so I'm assuming the same will hold true as a lip gloss. I have problems with lip colors I get looking too cool or bright...like Rare Berry for instance. But, years ago I had this magenta gloss that actually looked really good with my skin and eyes and wasn't overly bright, but was very vibrant. I keep trying colors like that hoping to find it's twin someday! :-P Tart isn't a direct match for it, but I can actually wear the blush (with a light hand), so hopefully the gloss will work too. I bought clear gloss today and can't wait to have a chance to play!

thanks! you are so nice. i was hesitant to post the pics cause for some reason in them i look really shiny and my pores look huge, but i really like the colors...
we must have similar skin tones because rare berry looks very bright on me as well. i'm glad you could get an idea of how satisfied might look for you. have fun playing! ;)
