Ice Princess and Delacoeur

Post by egerandi » Sun Dec 05, 2010 1:33 am

I have the now discontinued Ice Princess, and it's turning a bit funky (have had it for a while).
Would Delacoeur be a comparable replacement? I'm looking for something just as nude, barely pink and non-frosty but somewhat sparkly liquid gloss.

Hi Egerandi! We like a lot of the same colors like centerfold, and on my lips Delacour was very bright pink. I gave it to my daughter and it looks nicer on her. It seems like a very youthful color if that makes any sense? Have you tried St. Tropez? It's a nice nude pinky lip gloss. I also love Ginny which when I put it on, doesn't look very coral at all. Have you tried it?

I have Ginny, and it's a bit warmer and flatter than Ice Princess was. St. Tropez is my HG liquid gloss and go to color when I want something nude-ish, but it's a bit milkier than Ice Princess was. Sounds like Delacour would be a bit too much, because even though I don't shy away from bright pinks, I was looking for something a bit more subtle, mostly light pink sparkle. Thanks so much for your input!

I'm thinking...clear gloss dipped in the new princess shadow?

champagne would be good for all of your criteria i think except for the barely pink part. modern poet is slightly pink but also a little nude in the tube. honestly on me both of them look pretty clear with sparkle.

Totally thought of this thread when I saw Champagne. It's not quite the same but something shimmery to layer with?

Ah, yes, I was eying Champagne, but to me it seemed like Modern Poet with sparkles, and that's a bit milkier and nuder (read less pinkish) than I want. But, now that I think of it, I do want to give it a try, so that will be my round two order of the new release (part 2) as I just barely submitted the first one :D

Samantha, what a cool idea! Except I still don't have a clear gloss I like, I should really just buy the darned liptar already :)

I posted this question on the Holiday Release #2 also.

I have a question about Champagne. It is described as a Shimmering Gold, but is listed on the Shimmer scale as a 0. Is it shimmery?

I answered on the other thread...as far as shimmer goes, I would put it at about a 4.
