Negligee VS Mirage?

Post by JenK » Thu May 27, 2010 9:17 pm

I have Negligee and like it quite a bit, easy to wear and the formula is a dream. I also LOVE Polished Pink and was thinking Mirage maybe a good mix of the two.

Negligee and Mirage sound very similar w/ Mirage having a hint of shimmer, but their swatches look nothing alike. Are they similar in person?

Thanks

I don't have Negligee but I just received Mirage in my order that arrived yesterday. Here's a swatch of it on my lips that I just did, if it helps :)

Aud, Mirage looks so pretty on you :) It gave me cadaver lips :x . I think it is too sheer and my natural lip color comes through and evidently the mixture of the 2 makes for ugly grey lips...ewww

Thanks again :) Have you pigmented lips? I was thinking Mirage prolly gives about 70% coverage and the "pink" showing through would be my natural lip colour.

I'm planning to go for something with more coverage the next time I get more nude lippies from SN :) (XXX, Nude Beach, Skinny Dip or maybe something in the yet-to-be-released line!)

I don't think my lips are very pigmented :? I guess that is why anything too brown either looks like I smeared mud all over me or I get that grey dead look. I can't wait for the new lippies to come out :)

I absolutely love Negligee. I wear it more than any other I have right now. I really wish I had one just like it, but with shimmer. I'm fair, so it really doesn't look "nude" but more of a MLBB color. I've been impressed with the way it looks with my coloring, because even though it's caramel in the tube, it turns just enough pink on me that it's perfect. I usually wear it with Maybe Baby or Climax.

I would join a 12 step program for my SN addiction, but 12 steps are for quitters!

That is what I am looking for, similar color but w/ slight shimmer like polished pink. Mirage goes in my cart!

aud - Mirage looks so pretty on you! I'm gonna have to include Mirage on my next order. I don't know why I never noticed this one before.
