Verve or Temptation

Post by egerandi » Wed Apr 14, 2010 4:00 pm

I have been shying away from peachy stuff in the past, but ever since I tried Mirabelle and Ingenue, I'm hooked. I'm trying to decide if I should get Verve or Temptation... Thoughts?

I narrowed down my pick to these two and went w/ Temptation. On me it is golden sheer red. B/c my lips are pretty pigmented I need a few layers. Looks great w/ blacks and whites and looks even better now that I have a hint of color. It is about the same sheerness as Ingenue on me.

I already had Mirabelle, and looking at the swatches Temptation looked like a less pinky more orangey version of that (which is a sheer but very pigmented & shimmery colour) so I went with Verve which gives more opaque, dense colour and is much more akin to a very moisturising lippie - also works wonders just a dot smudged onto each cheek as a pretty cream blush. Verve gets my vote ;)

It can look orange on me too, depending what I have on and how many layers. One layer tends to look orange, multi-layers and it looks golden red. Ingenue can look orange too...Strange.

Thanks ladies! I'm still on the fence, but at least this gives me a good idea :)
