Precious finish?

Post by Trainer » Sat Mar 27, 2010 10:22 am

Does precious have a finish similar to gold blush or shimmery like peace? I would like something closer to gold blush. Peace's finish doesnt look good on me. Thanks! :D

I don't have all three any more but I remember Precious being in between. Hope that helps.

Precious has the most 'frosty' gold shimmer of the three that you mention. I'd say that Peace and Gold Blush are fairly close for shimmer with GB being a little less shimmery and less pigmented. If you want something sheer and non-shimmery, perhaps take a look in the Kisser Slicker 'Sheers' category.

Precious doesn't really show up on my lips color-wise, but it's definitely not the frosty finish I get from Peace. I would say it's closer to Gold Blush in finish.

I think it completely depends on your lip color.

No, the frosting / shimmer doesn't. How strongly the colour shows through is affected by how pigmented your lips are, but the shimmer sits on top of all that. Either way, Gold Blush / Peace / Precious - they're all beautiful, delicate and feminine and there's not a whole lot of difference in the grand scheme of things... like one, you'll like the others or it won't be too far out of the comfort zone 8-)

Haha, hmm. I have the original pod version of Peace and it shows up as a light pink frost on my lips.
Gold Blush is just a golden sparkle, while Precious is a more pigmented pinker version of it.
In different lights and with thicker applications it does look a little frosty, now that I think of it... but still kinda sparkly.

Good luck with your choice, hehe!
