I just got my first SN lippies. Love em! Soooo… now I want more and I'm looking for recommendations.
I ordered Best Friend, which I totally love. It makes my face bright and cheery looking and goes really well with my skintone. The other one I got was Rare Berry, which is okay but not as flattering on me. It's a too orangey red, I think. And it's also a bit too matronly and serious looking. I want something youthful and fun.
Any suggestions for a pink that's like Best Friend but deeper/brighter? I'm thinking of trying Daydream and Azalea (pow!), but is Daydream too much like Best Friend? The other ones I've considered are Soft, Bisou, and Raindrops on Roses.
Help me pick! Here's a photo of me without makeup on for reference:

My skin is warm toned, but my lips are more cool toned.

Re: Want more lippies! Recommendations?
I recommend Carnation, you may also like Hibiscus if you're considering Azalea. Pout and Peace are really nice easy pinks too. I have warm yellow skin and plummy cool-ish lips and find that ALL the lip colours show cooler on me than the swatches. Carnation is as cool as I can go as even the neutrals are cool on me.
Blush : Lovelace ~ Flare ~ Stardust ~ Foxxy
Eyes: Scandal ~ Neuron ~ Sprite ~ Zest
Lips: Zinnia ~ Ambrosia ~ Pretty Please ~ Mango

I don't think Daydream is like Best Friend other than both are pink. Daydream is a nice soft pink and very close in color/tone with Carnation. Either would work. Soft is a sheer and natural (but not warm) pink, and Bisue may be too neutral for what you're looking for. Raindrops on Roses could very well work, it tends to brighten up the face.
Azalea, Showstopper, Hibiscus and Crazy Love are all deeper and brighter than Best Friend, and if you want fun and bright, you should try Showstopper, it's the brightest of them all
Don't forget Gigi: bright pink lip stain that you can either wear with a clear balm or layer under the above for extra pow!

Colours that brighten the face sound good. Maybe I'll try Raindrops on Roses. Thanks for the info and suggestions! I'm definitely going to get either Carnation or Daydream, and at least one other.
