I think that Caramel is very warm but not necessarily BROWN and Mirage is TAN rather than brown... but I'm not sure about Fashionista and Negligee; I have not tried them.
Cultured, which looks atrocious on me, would probably work very well for you. It is much more pink than brown but is a good nude lip color.
I loved Cultered
I got a sample of Polished Pink and it is acutally really pretty on. I can never predict how these lippies are going to look on me

Polished Pink looks like what I was hoping Precious would look like on me. Just a touch of color and some subtle pretty shimmer.
Caramel, btw thanks Zeebs is a pretty Peachy tan on me and I really like it.
Fashionista, I love on me

I think I like it better than Fig Leaf, it is such a pretty plummy nude. I really like Fig Leaf too, but sometimes it seems like it might be a bit too brown on me.
ETA: Here is a pic with Raindrops on Roses. What do you think?
Eternal, I thought I liked, but then when I saw my whole face in the mirror with it on...yikes

too brown. I am still trying to narrow my choices down to 2 lippies. I know for sure I am getting Fashionista, but I am torn between, Caramel, Polished Pink and Raindrops on Roses. I got a sample of it and I am going to post a pic, if anyone wants to give me any input. It is a really pretty color, but I think it may not suit me...

Glad you like Fashionista! I would pick Polished Pink from those, but that's because I'm biased, hehe. I have Raindrops on Roses and it's a bit too loud on me. You look pretty on the pic, but I think with your coloring and lips Polished Pink would be best.

Personally, I love Raindrops on Roses; it really seems to brighten me up (I'm super pale in winter). It looks pretty on you, but your face really lights up--in a good way!--in the FOTD pics where you have the peachier shades on. Hope this helps. . .

Susan, could you swatch Fashionista next to fig leaf? Fig leaf is pretty much one of my favorite lippies, so if it is similar I think I 'need' it, lol.

Lily, you need Fashionista!

it is lovely. I think I may like it better than Fig Leaf. Fashionista is a little plummier than Fig Leaf, which was the selling point for me. Fig Leaf is great, but it is bording on being to brown for me, but Fashionista is perfect. I will take a pic and post for you...give me a few for the coffee to kick in

and I will post.
ETA: Lily, sorry this pic is not that good, but you get an idea of the 2 colors. I can't find batteries for my decent camera

I will try to take a better pic later, if I get out to get some batteries. Fashionista is on the left and it is more opaque than Fig Leaf and has more of a plummy color to it. HTH

I do really like the peachy shades, they definitely compliment my warm skin. When I look at pictures that are very flattering of me I am almost always wearing a peachy blush and peachy lippie.

Have you tried Rare Berry? I think it might give you the same look as Raindrops on Roses, but warmer and minus shimmer.

I do have Rare Berry. I'll have to compare the two. Thanks! I would not have thought to compare those two shades.

That does look really good Susan, you are probably right

besides, with all the ordering I have been doing my wish list is getting a little empty
