Stuck between a few lip colors

Post by ChristineLynnP » Thu Aug 05, 2010 1:03 pm

I'm not a lip gloss addict like a lot of ladies here, my biggest downfall is eyeshadow. Eyeshadow is mineral crack to me :lol: and I already have my hg lip balm that I stay true to. But I would like a few versatile lip colors to round my collection out, wear-anywhere shadows, fun colors, etc. I already have Desire and I LOVE it, not nearly as scary as it looks at all. Right now, I'm stuck between Heirloom Butter Cream, Nectar, and Breathless. Which two do I need, and which one can I wait on? I was thinking Nectar for sure would be a good work color, but all three are very pretty in their own way.

I like Heirloom a lot more than Breathless. Never tried Nectar.

Nectar is super dark on me. It's like a warm berry red plum on my lips. It's only slightly less intense than Black Dahlia and slightly more intense than Infatuation, but redder than either and warmer.

Breathless I have not tried, nor Heirloom.

Hmm... lol, I'm not sure if I'm more or less clear on which two I want now :lol:

Thanks for the info everyone.

I have a few different lip color samples at home that were sent to me in a swap, I'll try them all out and see if maybe I'd be better off sticking with buying a few of those shades.

I do like deeper berry shades, they look surprisingly good on me, but not so much for work. I'm more comfortable playing up my eyes at work than I am experimenting with bolder lip colors.

I have some leftover "other brand" lip glosses that I love the color of, but unfortunately they're the texture of glue sticks (I'm sure that totally just gave away which brand I'm talking about to the other "refugees" ;) ), so maybe I mostly need to focus on finding the SN equivalents of these shades.

I haven't tried Breathless yet, but I did test out Nectar and Heirloom last night. I'm really glad that I got them. They're so pretty and natural, even Nectar, despite its darker tone.
