Cider? Huh, I don't even see it, you must have used a very light hand. You have a lucky coloring, you can pull off quite nicely just about anything I keep trying greens, and they just don't really work, but they look great on you.

precious was applied over a lipstain

eta: i was asked my age by a table at work today. They thought I was 16 (I'm almost 24). Two of the guys at work also asked if i had done something different ("Did you get contacts or something?"- i don't wear glasses/contacts) i told them my eyeshadow was pink and i don't normally wear pink eyeshadow but otherwise i should look the same as always. This was the first day that i used SIAJ(extra light peach) over the cream concealer stick i've been using lately though, so maybe that had something to do with it.

Liquid Gloss Swatches in Direct Sunlight. I forgot to add in GWP Lola bc it didn't come in a tube.

As always, my original swatches(taken indoors) of nearly every SN lippie created-including lola- can be found on my vox page(xarata.vox.com) or on page 5 of Jen's Swatch gallery.

eta original indoor swatches of liquid glosses so you can compare different lighting:


* Please ignore the imperfection of application- i didn't take a handmirror outside and just appied 3-5 coats til my lips felt slippery and sometimes i didn't get all of the upper lip coated lol.

Awesome swatches. Now you have me wanting Cherry Crush and Summer Fling.

Great swatches, Thanks! I love the look of Summer Fling, Cherry Crush and vintage! *puts in wishlist*

Oh Lichen, how I want you...why did you have to be discontinued! In every swatch I've ever seen of it, Lichen looks like a close match for a green I've been trying for years to find a replacement for...

Lovely look as always Xarata! I think we have similar taste in eye shadows...

I have been eyeing Lichen as well it looks exactly like the green I am looking for...

Latest photo of the stash, i added another shadow board. lol :




sorry no EOTDs, I was on vacation. I'm trying to tell myself i don't need the purple GWP colors (well, until MAC starts again anyway. lol) so i won't be swatching them. Check out the spoiler thread though because others have at least been posting color description even if they aren't posting photos.

tehe- i TRY to wear all colors, but i have difficulties with blues and purples and i have rather heavy brows and dark circles so darker/smokier looks aren't always wise for me. i love greens and browns the most, but discovered just this year that orange and i actually get along quite well.
