Need some lip products

Post by namomof3 » Tue Sep 21, 2010 7:24 pm

I finally found my crazy color mix and I am beginning to put an order together. I'd like an everyday color nude maybe with a little pop. I like shiny lips with a hint of color but nothing too crazy. I usually use bronze-like colors. any suggestions-- sorry in advance about the picture size :o

Nude Beach, Maiden, or Polished Pink.

I am sure there will be other suggestions!

I agree with Jen's suggestions, plus Centerfold. I know you said nudes, but with your coloring, Berry Nice with Gleaming over it is super-pretty!

thanks ladies! i have a LONG wish lish started :D Yes I meant nude but since I am darker that comes off as "clear" on my lips so maybe like a "tan in the buff" or "barely bronze" would be an optimal namefor what I'm looking for. I am gonna look a Berry Nice because a splash of color works well with my skin! ;)

Hmmm... I think you'll like these shades. Also, the way these colors look on your lips will depend on what color your lips are naturally. Since they are on the paler side, I think these colors will give you the nude but polished off look - Iced Mocha, Desire (on me this was darker than Iced Mocha but I've seen swatches where it is lighter on some people), and maybe Birthday Suit (althought this was dark on me, but I've seen it lighter on other people).

I think you should definitely get Truly! It's a very pretty corally color that is sheer so its not so much of a bold look but a nice splash of color.

I think we're around the same coloring and my lips are naturally tan, and Nude Beach and Maiden didn't really show up me. Centerfold though was a really nice nude pink color.

HTH :)
