Agreed, Rare Berry is a can't-live-without colour, but is it fair for us to load all these recommendations onto somebody who just walked in the door? ;)

As I said, 30 lippies easy. Soon. Don't ask about the number of eye shadows I've got - you'd run away in terror :geek:

Rare Berry is now added to the wish list :)

Zeebs, If I studied for school as much as I study up on beauty and personal care products I would have a 4.0 GPA :lol:

But Karen, looks like all that studying makeup paid off for you since you own your own company now!!

Another question about colors in general (clothing or makeup) it seems like many of the colors suggested are sort of in the plum family? (am i totally wrong?) So would you say that colors in that range would suit me best? Cooler colors vs. Warm? I know what all those terms mean, but I don't know how it all applies to myself.

Rhys, I don't know what I would do with 30 different colors? How do you decide which one to wear?!

Also, thank you for all the super kind compliments on my skin :) Makes me feel happy to know that the amount of time I have spent researching what to put on my skin and in my body has paid off!

I think in clothing you will find you can wear pinks, plums, blues, greens, purples all very easily. You could probably carry off warm colors, too, as long as you stuck with brights. Think red, orange, and possibly even yellow due to your dark skin (like the colors in the small crayon box.) I really can't see you in anything rust colored (that is kind of the test if you are warm colored.) All that said, I would not say you are very cool toned, either. I really think you are pretty neutral.
