Fizz???

[JenK]

I've been searching for any talk about Fizz, but can't find any (I did see a swatch). Anyone out there have it? What are your thoughts? Looking for an easy color as a gift for neutral to slightly warm skintone. How chuncky is the shimmer (like Gold Blush)?

I just received Fizz today.. On the lips, to my eyes it's very much like Bolero blush with lots of gold shimmers. I have fairly pigmented lips and on me it's a straight sheer red with gold sheen - the peach does not come through at all. The shimmer I *think* is much the same as in Gold Blush - no chunkier but not really any finer either.

Not what I was expecting, but still lovely. Great for warm girls! I'm not sure I would call it an easy colour. To me, an easy colour is one you can just throw on that doesn't ever really clash with any look, like Foreplay, Precious and Ambrosia - but I can only speak for my lips! If you want any swatches let me know.

Hi Meadowbird,

Not JenK, but I'd appreciate swatches of Fizz too if you have them TIA!

[meadowbird]

No worries, I'll get a swatch done and post in the morning!

Thanks, your details really helped. I was also thinking about Precious, Ambrosia and Ginny (also fanfare, maybe too much shimmer), I'll have to take a look at them again.

Just wanted to add, thanks for mentioning foreplay. I've tried most of the colors, but not this. I applied Afterglow blush w/ balm and like the look!

Thanks!

Thanks, meadowbird.

JenK - I have Fanfare and if used alone or over a light/nude/medium lip colour the shimmery or glitter particles don't really show up, compared to Creampuff.

Here's my blog entry and swatches on Fanfare & Creampuff if it helps.

Great swatches and blog!! Fanfare is really pretty and looks very wearable. I may just have to get that as a gift and one for myself.

Sorry it took so long. I wanted to get a lip swatch but I've been sick so I don't really like using my glosses when I have my face in a tissue 24/7!

I swatched with all my peaches and corals.

Fizz is very much like Temptation on me in terms of pigmentation ect, but perhaps a bit less "hot" and a little more brown.

HTH!

Is it my eyes or does Fizz looks like duplication of Foreplay? I'm sorry if I was wrong, my eyes are really bad and I'm not wearing glasses.

It might be the light.. It's def not like Foreplay, Fizz is a lot redder and browner, FP is a pinky gold in comparison (at least on my arm and lips!).
