Hi,
I am looking for a color similar to New York Color's "Blossom" ultra moist lip wear lipstick. I love the color, but am afraid of what chemicals might be in a $1 mass-produced lipstick. I'm thinking showstopper or reaction? I already am going to pick up shrieking violet
. But I think that color will be a bit more sheer than what I am looking for. Thank you for your help!

I don't have Blossom, but from swatches I found from googling it looks like a fairly standard hot pink. Showstopper is very pigmented, probably even more so than Blossom, but it's a similar shade of pink and a very fun color. You might also consider Crazy Love. It looks most similar to the sadly discontinued Azalea or Hibiscus, but give Showstopper a try if you love hot pinks!

I can also attempt to swatch it for you tonight if you like, though I think the website swatch is pretty accurate to my eye and monitor.

Hey,
That's fine. I believe the online swatch color looks pretty accurate, too. Thanks for your help!
