Is Precious too much like...

I am loving Precious (plummy pink on my med pigmented plummy/rose lips). I am looking for colors that are similar, but not so similar only I know they are different. These are what I am thinking about: Berry Crush, Foreplay, Gold Blush.

Thanks

I don't have precious, I am actually deciding on it because I am looking for a new pink. However, from the swatches I have seen, I think it would be different enough from gold blush which I have. In gold blush, the pink is not noticable on me, it gives my lips a nice sparkle but not too gold. Its a great casual lippie, good anytime and great for layering, but especially nice for me in the morning or at night, when I'm just hanging around but want to put something on. I love gold blush. I do not have the other two so I can't speak about them, sorry.
I do have a question about precious, is it a sheer pink with gold or does it give a shimmery pink effect like peace or pout?

Thanks! Hope my little info helped! :lol:

I think Foreplay and Berry Crush are definitely different than Precious. I have all of them :o but Precious and Gold Blush don't really show up as a color on me, just the shimmer, so I am not much help on those two.

Trainer,
I got a sample of Precious w/ my last order, let me know if you want it. It comes off w/ a slight shimmer, but more of a golden sheen. After a few hours on my lips it looks like a plummy-pink. Very natural. I've heard other ladies say a pink-peach. I just applied it over soft and it looks great, wondering if it looks a bit like Berry Crush. I may just get Gold Blush for now and layer over other colors.

Lwoodall,
From the swatches I am guessing Foreplay is warmer than Berry Crush. I use to think I hated shimmer, but on my uneven colord lips shimmer makes them look more natural and uniform.

Have either of you tried Rare Berry? It keeps jumping out at me, so not a color I would normally be drawn too.

:oops: I have Rare Berry too and it is a really pretty pinky/red shade with no shimmer.

Foreplay is warmer than Berry Crush and I don't usually like lippies as shimmery as Berry Crush, but for some reason I really like it and it works for me. :)

Thanks for the offer,that was so nice, Ill let you know if I would like to take you up on it.I'm going to see if there will be any new pinks for Valentines day. I'm looking for something sheer pink and cool. Like bloom but the consistency of soft or Berry Nice, which is a very pretty sheer pink but a deeper color than soft. Its a little plummier than soft too.I really like it.I have not tried rare berry though.

Have you tried Peace? Sounds like that would match your description. On my darkish rosy lips it looks like a light pink sheen, but not in the 70s way :)

Thanks for the suggestion. Yes, I have peace but I don't think it looks good on me. I have pigmented lips too (I think from the way certain colors look on me) but it seemed to be too, sheeny (is that a word :lol: ?) on me and not the pink I'm looking for. I LOVE the pink sheer lippies like soft and berry nice!
