Do we have this in SN?

Flaunting It - Seems rather familiar, but I can't think of which SN color would be the same. I guess I could mix Provoke with Coy?

I don't have Provoke (yet!) but the swatch looks pretty straightforwardly like Flaunting It. Also the new Kiki lip stain looks similar. HTH!

That's close to Provoke on me. Coy would give it that slightly grayed, milky look like in her swatch. I don't think you'll get any closer except maybe Kiki with a nude layered on top? (Just guessing; I don't have Kiki.)

I don't have Kiki either, but I can imagine this is how the color of Kiki mixed with the milkiness of Coy. However, I recall Oxana mentioned about the lip stain is not easily layered/mixed with Coy. If Provoke comes close, maybe you can try mixing it with Coy? Coy does lighten lip colors, though.

That is a gorgeous, gorgeous lip color by the way. I would never think to wear purple on my lips.

EDIT
Okay. I just checked my stash. I have Vamp and Guerlain Kisskiss Laque #721 Purple Star, which are very much alike in color. I tried mixing each with Coy and managed to come close to Flaunting It.
As I said, per Oxana's review, Coy and lip stains do not blend very well. I also did manage to find a way to mix them, although the blending phase is quite a pain.
Dot Coy on the lips, dot the lip stain on the Coy dots, then blend blend blend BLEND like kkkrrrreeeeezzzeehh. If you can find the perfect ratio for each color, you'll get Flaunting It with some effort.

But for some reason, I somehow feel that with Kiki, the color would be easier to achieve. Maybe because it's much more purple, thus fits Flaunting It's purple color closer.

Provoke shows up lighter on me, and adding Coy will make it look like a light lilac color..but Provoke seems like it's in the same spectrum as Flaunting It. Flaunting It looks more like Provoke + a bit of sheer black gloss/or sheer dark purple gloss. You could also try Kiki + Provoke..if it becomes too dark, then add a touch of Coy. Flaunting It also does look like a pink + dark "dirty" purple. So maybe you could even try Kiki + deep pink lippie...the only problem is I don't know which one.

Kiki plus, say, Very Berry maybe? Or Provoke with Swank!

Throwing suggestions out...due to major budget constraints I don't have any of these colors yet :/
Kiki +
Beguile
Azalea/Hibiscus
Raindrops on Roses
Razzle Dazzle

Maybe one of those?

[egerandi]

Hehe, I guess I do need Kiki after all. I put aside my lavender lippies when I went light auburn, but maybe that was a hasty decision. I'll also grab a Very Berry before it goes away for good.

I tried applying Coy under Provoke, but it's not exactly like Flaunting It; the latter being darker and mauvier somehow.

It looks good! It does seem like Swank (which will come next week!) might help deepen it closer to Flaunting It. I'm a redhead myself and I think it's actually somewhat easier to pull off the purples with this coloring!

I just tried frckls' method (after previous unsuccessful attempts with Coy + Lip Stains). I did Coy + Scarlet, and it became sort of a light Raspberry color. It's not long-lasting wearing it this way for me, but I'm so happy now because I can actually wear the bold stains without feeling self-conscious! I definitely must try with Kiki next. Thanks for the tip, frckls!

Glad to know that works on you, (Liz?) Lemon!
