Anybody have both Rare Berry & Soft?

Post by Tinaplus3 » Tue May 27, 2014 12:10 am

I'd love to see swatches of these two side by side with Seedy. I have and love Strawberry Fields, Pulse & Seedy. Looking to add one more and can't decide between these two. Both are described as sheer pink creams but Rare Berry has a warmer tone and Soft has a cooler tone. I'm thinking that Soft might look too much like Seedy so I should just go for the Rare Berry. But I love the Slicker Stick formula more than the Kisser Slicker so should I just get both lol? Any input?




My collection:
HD Cream Concealer #3
Cream Blush in Candy Apple & Entice.
Kisser Slicker in Seedy & Slicker Sticks in Strawberry Fields & Pulse.
Eyeshadows in Earth, Fire, Blessings, Ion, Harris, Hairpin, Tweak, Pop, Chicane, Drive, First Kiss, Goddess.

i have and love both, and i can do swatches for you once i'm home.

but i can already tell you some things in advance:

- if you love strawberry fields and seedy, you'll also love soft. they are the same sheer jelly type. colourwise soft and seedy are different enough to justify both.

- rare berry is less sheer than soft, and gives more of a lipsticky look. it's also glossy, but it has a certain opacity to it.

- soft, on me, isn't actually cool toned. it's a true pink, but because it's so sheer it's very wearable. i use this like a lip balm most of the time, no mirror required. it also ended up being my wedding lippie, because i forgot to put strawberry fields in my bridal bag :oops:

- rare berry is less pink than soft, more of a soft red really.

as i said, i love them both, but for different reasons and occasions. for the price i would say, get them both :mrgreen: swatches to follow...

Thank you so much for the color descriptions! I'm definitely getting Soft. I normally don't like an opaque lipstick look but Rare Berry sounds so nice, lol.
