Help me decide on a lippie...

Post by royalgoddessbeth » Mon May 17, 2010 4:21 pm

I have the following: Eternal, Bobbi, and Fashionista. I like all of them. What do I get when I want something that's not as brown as Eternal, not as light/sheer as Bobbi, and not as bright as Fashionista?

Polished Pink would be pretty.

Bobbi is the right tone, but I think it's just a little light. Anything along those lines? I already have Black Dahlia, but the black oxide isn't really for spring! What about Figment?

If Bobbi is the right tone, you'd probably enjoy Figment. Although it's entirely different, from your description, Aria (black label) also jumped to mind.

Figment is a bit bright I think, shiny, at least. But if Black Dahlia works, then Figment would be almost the same without the black part.
Have you considered Fig Leaf? It's a matte darker plum, not brown at all (or maybe just a smidgen).

Breathless could be nice, although it's not very plummy, more like brown pink. Whirlwind is shimmery too, but in the similar color range.

I have tried Fig Leaf, which I promptly handed off to my daughter. I have Aria already, which I like. I've also tried Breathless, which I gave to my cooler-toned mother. I really love Bobbi, but I think it could be just a smidge darker. But I suppose I shall have to live with that! Plus, I know we have new lippies coming. I can wait....

I immediately thoughjt black dahlia, then whirlwind. Also, swank over bobbi darkens it just a little and gives a more sophisticated look.
