Can anyone put up a pic of swatches of Tender and Nectar next to each other?? Cannot seem to decide between the two colors!

Left: Tender

Right: Nectar

My comparison:

Nectar is more of a brownish-red, whereas Tender has more pink/purple hues.

Nectar is more pigmented compared to Tender which comes off sheer on my medium pigmented lips.

For some reason, my tube of Nectar is more solid, whereas my tube of Tender started to crumble a little.

I like both. =)

Hey thanks for the pic! :)
Looks like it's gonna be Nectar ... I guess on my pigmented Indian lips Tender would come out to be much more sheer, though I like Tender's color a wee bit more than Nectar!
Btw, I liked reading your blog posts about Silk Naturals. You convinced me to get the "must have" lip scrub :D

I'm glad I helped =) I love the lip scrub. It works best when layered with lip balm after that. SN's peppermint lippie is my fav.

I think Nectar will look good on you. Tender would come off as a sheer hint of color. At least that's how it plays out on my lips. =)
