What lippies to order!?

[Paula]

For the past week I've been trying out my first SN lippie, I got Rareberry and I love it! So moisturizing I wanna wear it all the time I feel a new obsession coming along.. Feels like I'm getting a new SN-parcel every week..
Well now I'm thinking about ordering more lippies so I wanna ask for some advice from you lippieexperts The one's I'm the most interested in is Bitten, Soft, Breathless and Azalea, maybe even cassis? The last two I'm a bit unsure about since they are pretty bright hehe. Any thoughts or other suggestions?

If you're afraid of too bright with Azalea (don't have it yet, waiting on my order ) I'd recommend Damsel. It's described as a sheerer version of Azalea and a raspberry pink version of Rare Berry (that's strawberry).

I also think Truly might look lovely on you. And if you're into pinks, Bloom would look lovely with your colouring. My personal favourite atm is Best Friends (salmon pink) but it's pretty bright on some people.

I second Truly; that was the first thing that popped into my mind when I saw your pic (pretty ).
Sounds like you are picking out the cooler lippies, why not try something warmer? I think Mirabelle or Ingenue would look lovely on you too. Summer Fling perhaps, and St. Tropez.

How about Crimson?

I'd suggest Truly too... I think it'll look great with your coloring! And Temptation, though it's warmer, and can be bright depending on how you wear some colors. I have a hard time with reds and pinks so can't really give you any advice there, Rareberry doesn't look good on me at all.

For something totally different color-wise, how about Sweet Nothing? It's not red, pink, or coral, but a sheer kind of plummy mauve color...one of the SN lippies I wear the most! I think it would be lovely with your eyes.

hm interesting I really had no idea if I was cool or warm-toned hehe. I Don't wear much eye-makeup mostly just mascara and some eyeliner so I'm not afraid to wear some colour on my lips aslong as it suits me Crimson looks really nice, but it's alot of colour, wonder if I could pull it off, never tried a really red lipstick :S

So you3 think Truly, to bad I can't see what it looks like, but maybe I'll just trust your judgement Mirabelle seems to peachy and to shimmery, same with Temptation I think. And about Sweet Nothing I have a hard time seeing myself wearing looks so brown :S
Damsel looks nice tho, maybe a little light :S

Truly is sheer on the lips and looks pinkish coral, the brightness of which depends on the coloring of your own lips...on me you can barely see it and it looks pink. SN lippies are kind of unique in that often the swatch on the page looks nothing like it's going to look on your lips. So, for instance, Sweet Nothing may look like a heavy color in the pic, but in real life I think most find it to be a sheer wash of mauve/plum. It's definitely not pink, but it's not brown either. Temptation on me looks a lot like your shirt color! Kind of a bold coral red with a bit of gold shimmer, though blotted and topped with a clear gloss it's much more subtle.

Crimson is a bold, beautiful red. It looks absolutely amazing on some like Sewwies (her red dress thread a few posts down has a pic of her wearing it), and I'm betting Egerandi wears it really well too!

So I had a play with some of the lippies I have that have been mentioned. Maybe this will help? Sorry they look a bit disorganized, I was in a hurry!

I did these a while back and posted them in another thread, using Rareberry as a comparison color:

I think you can pull off Crimson, if you're not afraid of statement colors Works out that you prefer focusing on your lips! I think Cassis is punchier even!
You may also want to consider Raisin or Fig Leaf. The latter is a matte plummy color, great for every day minimal makeup.
How about Cultured or Bobbi?

Here is a pic of me wearing it: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=5 ... =791557779
and here is pics of Sewwies in Crimson: http://host.silknaturals.com/forum/view ... 2&start=10

As Tiara said, it really depends on your lip colors how they turn out on you, but I think Truly would be a hit for sure.
I have medium pigmented lips, and Damsel shows up even on mine: it's not a lot of color, but it's definitely there. It's a sheer gloss though,
so if you need something more, then go for Azalea.

AW nice pics! Truly looks indeed nice, think I'm gonna go for that one atleast. I actually had put fig leaf in my wishlist hehe plummy is nice, maybe I'll order that one to. Hm I think I'm a bit scared of crimson haha looks so bright red, think I'm gonna go with cassis or Azalea hmhmhm.

[lilychemgirl]

fig leaf is gorgeous. I am so getting Cassis too, although I haven't seen anything but the swatch on the site so far.
