Looking for Melon lippies

Post by Lemon » Wed Aug 04, 2010 7:16 pm

Hello,
I've been so attracted to orange, coral, tangerine and peach tones lately. I would like to get a SN lip product that is a melon color = a softer milky coral (more orange than pink). Maybe something like Melon by Miessence http://www.organicskincarepro.com/Organ ... miolgm.htm or similar to color of this dress http://images.teamsugar.com/files/upl1/ ... review.jpg I was looking at Ingenue and Mirabelle (actually I already bought Ingenue because it looked so pretty on swatch, but I'm hungry for more lippie suggestions..heheh). Usually melon, corals or peach colors always end up looking more pink or too red on me. I'm looking for something for everyday use, but still shows decently on medium pigmented lips.

Thanks so very much.

when i want that color i combine blush(like lovelace) and foundation with a clear base. SN doesn't currently have that color though you could try precious, and you might have some luck layering mirage with something pale and peachy like caramel or maiden. mirage is fairly opaque light nude and caramel and maiden are sheerer washes of nude peach.

I would love a liquid lip gloss that color but I don't think SN has that color right now. Hopefully soon!

Revlon's Super Lustrous lip gloss in Coral Reef is a good match to the color of that dress but I'm hoping Karen makes a dupe of that.

Yeah, I want a lippie that color too, but SN doesn't have one... The closest I come to a milky orange peach color is Ingenue with Gleaming layered on top! Though obviously, it has a shimmery golden sheen then, but I like that! Temptation, Verve, and Ingenue layered over a pale, pale opaque nude (I use one from a different brand since I haven't found an SN equivalent yet) all lighten up to various shades of milky coral as well. I'm REALLY hoping there are some true orange lippies in the upcoming release! :D
