I was wondering if anyone could help me out with lipgloss recommendations!

So far in my cart I have:
Bitten,
Cultured,
Rhapsody,
and Sweet Nothing

I own: Sweetheart, Damsel and Soft.

I guess I was looking for l/g without sparkle and something different from what's on my list - something with purple, plum, berry tones maybe - but is still relatively light on the lips. I guess I'm sort of describing Berry Nice but I'd like something paler and more purple if that's possible.

More questions.. hehe.. What's a light (would stand out on really pale skin) one colour wash I could use. I'm ordering boom but I would like something even lighter with very little shimmer or sparkle. And would go nice with Mahogany liner.

For reference if I didn't have mental skin I would use 20 Ivory to 1 scoop of Medium ebony and .5 warm gold. I also have blah light brown hair and blue eyes.

Thanks everybody! :)

Hi! I think for lips you should try Infatuation for lips. It's not too pale but if you apply it with a light hand it can be! It's a really nice purply color on me :-)

For eyes, what about honey?

I love when people give suggestions because with SN, unless I see a swatch I forget about certain colours. Infatuation does look really pretty, I just wanted something to lighten my lips but maybe I could get it for evenings. How shimmery is it? I find shimmer dries out my lips a little bit and just looks.. unpleasant on me. P:

Honey is something I was actually considering! Yay! I think what held me back from Honey was I was worried it wouldn't show up on me or that it would be too shimmery.. what do you think?

I don't find Infatuation shimmery at all - it's one of my favourite colours. Whirlwind is shimmery, and while not exact, it's probably the closest to Infatuation in a shimmer - though it's a bit more mauvey and Infatuation is definitely more a pinky-purple plum - no brown at all.

As for a light colour instead of Boom - Sonic is lovely.

How does Berry Nice compare to Infatuation, they look similar in one swatch and then in another Infatuation looks more purple-pink? Thank you both! One of the two will definitely be going into my cart. I guess I'm just a little nervous about shimmer because I wasn't a fan of Sweetheart's shimmer even though I really liked the colour.

I will look into Sonic too. I was just a bit worried it would almost be my foundation colour, or like with pale yellows in the past look like I didn't quite match my foundation applied on my eyes.

Listen to me, worried. P: Silliness.

I don't find infatuation shimmery at all either, and like I said before, you can apply it so that it's not so dark. I don't know anything about Berry Nice, sorry :)

Hmmm....Berry Nice is a little more raspberry and a little more sheer than Infatuation is....best way I can think of to describe it. I like both of them, actually, but I like Infatuation better.
