Yup, it's me who loves Sultry. I looked at your swatch - this is strange. Skinny Dip is way too brown on me, Figleaf I can get away with, but it's a bit much on the brown side, too, so not a favourite. Can't wear Jaybird or Birthday Suit for the same reason.

Breathless and Nectar are great, though. As are Copper Rose and Tender, and I can even wear Mulberry Spice (from way back, and that's a dark one). I tend to recoil at the 'brown' word, but there are a few sort-of brown lippies here I can wear very well.

I think for me cool browns with some purple or red or pink I can wear, but warm browns I can't, if that makes sense? Anything with any orangish tone in it is horrible on me.
I just got a pack of lippy samples from Susan, I am so excited to try them all! I looooove lippies :)

Also, I am pretty neutral, which is not good, lol, it means that I can't wear stuff that is super cool, (or too pinkish) or stuff that is warm (orangish/brownish), only stuff that is just right :roll: I end up not being able to use soooo many lippies :(

I am the sameway. Plus, I think my freckling throws colors off. I am always told peach is my color. I can wear some peach lip colors, but peach blush is just awful. I have so many lip colors I doubt I will wear.

This is more of a dark plum, like the skin on a plum or a blackberry mixed w/ red. It really is the color of raisins. Who would have thought of a raisin as pretty. If I remember, you can wear reds, so this might work for you. It is kind of a twist on red.
OK, I'm intrigued, it's going on the wishlist :) I love reds, and I love dark colors, just not browns.

I'm 90% sure this color will be too brown for me, but you all are making me want to buy it anyway. :lol:
