Hi gals,
Here are the lippies I have on my list.
Dame
Winter Rose
Peachy Keen
Mirage
Menage
Ginny
Bella
Frolic
Ambrosia
I have tried Mirage and Frolic before. What can you tell me about the rest? My foundation mix is mostly peach with a dash of olive. That's my eyeball in the avatar.

Peachy Keen <--- yes!
Mirage <--- this is my favorite nude, without making me look dead, could possibly work for you
Menage <--- This is very very close to St. Tropez, although I do think the latter is a tad more pink
Ginny <--- I only really use this as a topper of other peaches and corals as it's too light, but could work really nicely with Peachy Keen
Bella <--- this was a bit too cool on me.
Frolic
Ambrosia <--- next on my list

I vote for Ginny and Peachy Keen)) Honestly these are the only 2 from the list I have tried but I am very satisfied with them.

Bella might work as a contrasting colour rather than a complimentary colour. It rocks with an air of unaffected confidence. This might sound daft... you know how people say "so and so is the new black..."? Well, for me, this is the new red lippy for individualists. It's got the same cool, calm, confidence you need to pull of a red, but with an unusual twist of colour. Nothing teenage or 1980s about it either.
I'd recommend Winter Rose for a silvery pearly sheen of shell pink. Not on your list, but if you haven't yet tried Zinnia liquid lip gloss and Honeysuckle buttercream, those are awesome for coppery tones, too.
... just had a thought... you know the new Icing lip gloss with the pink sparkles? Wouldn't it be amazingly pretty to have the same thing but with the gold and copper tones of Fire eyeshadow? (instead of the pink, although personally, I'd have both, too!!)

I totally agree!

I do love Honeysuckle but I have not tried Zinnia.
Thank you for your input! I didn't know Icing existed. The description sounds intriguing!

OK, so I tried Bella again today, and yeah, Helena is right
It made my face look a bit stark, but that's what I was looking for. Escape on lids (with a bit of Someday or Somehow, I forget, layered underneath) and Rosie blush, and I looked kinda like an ice queen, but in a good way. I layered on Bella thick for a more expressed cold purple that was still wearable, and really liked the effect. It's definitely a winter color for me though, but I'll be using it more often
And yes, Icing is very pretty!

Glad you like it. I'm trying it with a clean eye - Bailey and Bristol for 'barely there' colour with a light line of Basalt in the upper lashes and some simple mascara. Lets Bella do all the talking. Total opposite to those shimmer eyeshadow days, fabulous for when you want something different and full of understated character. (Awesome compliment lippy to rock Thea's new matte eyeshadows with).
