Is it possible to have a lipgloss similar to Morello but without the carmine?..

It's a natural nude tan pink colour with a bit of discreet shimmer, and what I like about it is that it's not completely sheer, so it does lighten my natural lip colour slightly (I've had trouble finding a Silk Naturals lippie which lightens my lip colour in the slightest, other than Divine).
MAC's Slimshine 'Bare' is my favourite too!
I would love this as well
Foundation: 1: baggie 6: ebony: 7 glow
Fav blush: Steller
Fav Lippie: Symphony
Fav combo: cream 1st half of lid, 09:59 2nd half, chocolate twinkle in the crease with Blackheart over it blended out and vanillia on brow bone.

Hi Karen,

Would it be possible to have 2 liquid wand clones of Eve Pearl's Baby Doll and Hunny Bunny combo? I wanted to see if I could recreate the same effect of the Eve Pearl's products and look with SN products, so I went ahead and bought the USD400 kit!!!!!!!! :shock: And the Baby Doll/Hunny Bunny combo is PERFECT for weddings! OMG, one end make everything shine with a pinkish-bronzey, like its got pearls in it. The other side is a shiney, creamy pink. Alone or together, they seem to work amazingly great as a subtle but beautiful accompaniment to bridal make up. I tried it on other asian girls slightly lighter and slightly darker than me, and it still works. I haven't tried it on dark Indian or Malay skin. But it works on my Indonesian and Filipino friends.

Another beautiful gloss from EP's range is "Wet Kisses", but I think Karen's Summer Flingcould dupe that? I'm not sure. Any guesses anyone?

You said the magic words...bride. My father was a wedding photographer and working in a photo lab, I saw plenty of beautiful brides, and always had a few thoughts about bridal beauty. Plus we do have a bride to be here on the forum! Generally I recommend Cover Girl Outlast for bridal lippies mainly because it doesn't budge, ever. It's one of those weird silicone based ones- super drying, but for a marathon wedding day it's just what a girl needs.

I'll start working on the other ones too!

Thank you, Karen. You are so amazingly accommodating! I agree with lippies needing to last. For me, I would just throw together an "emergency" kit for the bride that includes the lippie. So she can touch up for her self the whole day. No dryness, and always looking great. I figure, what's a few dollars when the bride can look her best and have moist lips all day? hehe!

Oh Oh Oh, Pursebuzz did a swatch on the Eve Pearl glosses!

Like her, Hey Mama is my least favourite. The red really screams "IN YOUR FACE".

But Babydoll and Hunny Bunny are so beautiful!

Wow Karen, those glosses looks gorgeous! It would be great if you could do the Baby Doll part too :). I'm gonna do a Birthday haul soon :twisted: .

Whoa, check out the duochrome in Eve Pearl's Baby Doll! Temptalia's swatch shows Baby Doll's gold interference very well.
