Lip Glosses

[house kitten]

I need help choosing a nude lip balm. I am not sure that I want one with sparkle because they just look too fake to me. I have a Burt's Bees lip shimer in champagne and I hate that one. Are SN glosses very sparkly????

Some are not sparkley at all. The Liquid Wands all have shimmer. None of the Organic Lipsticks currently up have any shimmer whatsoever.

For gloss/demi-gloss with no sparkle/shimmer at all-

Organic Gloss (Kisser Slicker)- Berry Nice, Birthday Suit, Damsel, Jaybird, Peach Melba, Rare Berry, Seedy, and Sweet Nothing.
Kiss Bliss DemiGloss- Delight, Divine, Grace, Kiss-n-Tell, Supreme, and Swept Away

There are a few Organic Glosses with a satiny shimmer that is very subtle and almost not visible. Breathless and Skinny Dip fall into this category.

Chosing Nudes for someone else is tough because lip pigmentation varies so much. Luckily you have posted a pic! Your lips look a bit on the pinkish side to me. I would recommend Breathless or even Grace. If you like a browner look, you will like Birthday Suit.

Thanks Jen. Just noticed that breathless lists as pink satin shimmer. How 'bout Darling? Would it work for me?

Sorry just noticed you did say that it is very subtle.

Sorry again.

Is there a swatch of the glosses?

[JenW]

I have a few here and there as far as swatches go. Darling may be a little more shimmery than you are wanting, but I would classify it as a medium shimmer-visible, but not super sparkley.

I will post the swatches I have here. We are working on a swatch gallery hopefully soon. Swatches for lippies really don't show what they will look like on you, but the will show thw slight color differences. Also, my camera does not pick up the shimmer in the ones that have it, so check the ones from the list above.

Thanks. Great swatches. I think I would like Breathless.
