Lip color questions

Greetings! ]

Could anyone help me with a side-by-side swatch? SN feeds my lippie addiction in the best ways but I'm no good at decisions. I'm pondering a purchase of Menage (and LOVE St. Tropez) but wonder how they compare. I'm thinking about Caramel and know that Peachy Keen is LOVELY on me. I also wonder about Jaybird and am THRILLED BY Nectar and Bitten. Here's the dilemma: Which should I buy with my next skin care order if I'm limited to one treat? Swatches of Menage next to St. Tropez would be snappy and deeply smiled upon but I'd love any thoughts, nudges, or shoves in the "right" direction. For reference I wear 1 Buttery Gold to 9-10 All Purpose.

Thanks All ;)
Ann

For the quick word description version:

Menage is not as pink as St.Tropez. Think very neutral tan.
Caramel is slightly more brown in tone than Peachy Keen.
Jaybird is more along the lines of Nectar than Bitten....but Jaybird is not quite as warm toned of a red as Nectar and runs a little deeper in shade.

I know you are a fan of Nectar, and so is my sister. Nectar is her dress up color, and Caramel is her everyday color. (I don't know if that will help, and my sister has the Peaches & Cream -fair warm- kind of complexion where I am slightly Olive.)

I'm a lousy swatcher, but I can confirm what Jen said: Menage is less pink than St. Tropez. It has a slight mauve tint, but very very slight, and it's more nude than the liquid one. I use it on its own, or topped with St. Tropez.
