Lurid vs. Mink

Quick question. I'm trying to decide between Lurid and Mink. I know Lurid is slightly cooler, which is what I think I'll end up getting, but does anyone happen to have both and could help me decide? Or maybe even swatch? ;) Thanks for any help, input, and advice in advance!

Until someone can post a side-by-side swatch, I hope that'll help a little.

They're both nice, but Mink is a little more universal - it's slightly plummy, so it's more neutral with a little spark than warm. I'm pale enough that it's a good liner colour for me as well as a shadow, but I like both of them. Still, I reach for the Mink more often. Lurid's really nice too, but if I had to pick one, I'd pick Mink.

Do you really have to just pick one? ;)

Hmmm, lol. Maybe I do need both... Honestly, I'm a neutrals girl all the way. I love the bright colors, but I just can't wear them. I'm currently in grad school to become a teacher, and work in the Dean's office of my college, so nothing too crazy can be done for makeup. I do wear some colorful eyeliners, but that's it. So maybe I will eventually get both, but I'll get Mink first. :D Thanks for the help Rhys! And Cupcake, too! Thanks for posting the pictures like that, it definitely helps. Don't know why that didn't occur to me! :roll:
