Zinnia looks fabulous on you aud! You're right about putting numerous coats before getting a good color payoff. I'm still bummed about the different packaging of Zinnia vs. St.Tropez(gumball). haha.

Thanks, LT16 :)
You're right about the colour payoff. I thought it was just me with an application problem but it does take a bit of effort to get the lips evenly coated. A mirror is necessary. But with ST, it was so easy. ST is still my favourite SN LLG.
But I do like Zinnia's colour on my lips, it's different from what I have in my current SN Lippie collection. It also stays on a lot longer on my lips than ST (probably owing to it being darker).

Zinnia looks gorgeous on you Aud, but then everything looks good on those lips! I think will give it a miss for now as I think it might be too pink on me. I have mango on the way anyway, so that should satisfy my desire for orange for a while!
Thanks for the swatches :)

Lily, I think you will be happy with Mango! I got it today, it looks orange in the tube, but on my lips is a pretty peach, almost coral shade! I'm gonna have to order a back up tube... ;)
