In my search for a replacement for my beloved Fanfare I got Gold Blush ( got years ago in my first order) and Allure (hoping applied lightly it will look like fanfare). I also got Limelight HD, hoping to use as a highlight on eyes when I'm feeling extra lazy.
Garnet sounds great! I love my clear Full and Smooth lippie. I assume these are like the Nourish line as well. Definitely moisturizing but the tint of color is a nice addition.
How did your dupes of Fanfare work out?
I never thought about using a cream highlight as a eye highlight. Brilliant!
The dupes didn't go well, but both are easy, wearable colors that will get a lot of wear. Gold Blush is actually a bit too cool for me, but bc of sheerness very wearable. Allure turned out to be a slightly warmer color of my lips. Fanfar was the perfect wearable coppery color.
On a funny note, I thought I grabbed my beloved clear nourish lippie and put a few layers on without looking in the mirror. Thankfully, I looked before I left the bathroom bc it was limelight HD blush!!!! Hysterical!!
On me I find Smooth and full tinted lippies to be more moisturizing than the tinted nourish line. Though, the clear nourish is my HG. The ingredients some how pull out my lip color and I actually find myself wondering what color I put on bc it's perfect only to remember it's Clear!!

I cant wait till I can place an order! I'm getting to that point I need everything. Money is tight so I have to be careful what I spend money on. If anyone has swatches I'd love to see!

Wasn’t Fanfare a peach with gold, rendering it copper on the lips? I saw a new ALG color called Soulmate, but it looks like a peachy with silver shimmer. The tone might be close though. So layered, Gold Blush and Allure were not a good mix?
Ha! I bet that was an interesting lip color. I haven’t done that with lip colors but I have done that with eye colors before. At least it is an easy fix!
The clear Full and Smooth really is the most moisturizing I have found, but I have only tried one Nourish, and that is Lingonberry, which I think may be discontinued now. What color are your lips naturally? Lucky you! Mine are a nice medium raspberry pink but I usually need a little color on my lips since my skin tone is close to my hair tone and eye color and bare lips make me look washed out.

Any particulate swatches you want to see? I don’t have a huge collection but I may can help (most of my collection is in moving boxes right now though

JenK , I too like unscented, but I miss some of the scented ones too. I still have one Baby Kisses *Love*
I guess looks are deceiving. I thought they were similar but from your description, they sound like they are both totally different colors. I may need them after all

If you have and like Prowl you will really like Vex. I had Pairs (blush that is not one the site anymore

) in my crease today ( Tart Light maybe a close dupe that is here) with Vex in my outer crease and into 1/3 of my outer lid and Bespoke on my 2/3 of my inner lid. It looked pretty. Oh, black eye liner to finish the look. I did get Oil Slick and Spitfire and just swatched them on my hand and IF you love glimmer you will like them. I'm a fan of glimmer and mattes for the eyes and Ill be working on a look with them. Oil slick reminds me of and old E/S that came out YEARS ago ( 12?) called Gasoline. Karen did a wonderful creation of this color. It has all those multi colors you see in real gasoline in a black shadow...BEAUTIFUL!

Hi, Cristy! The ones SN did are very close. I have not done any in years! I don't think I have my Photobucket account anymore. That is what I used to do them in years ago
![Surprised :o](./images/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif)
. Glad to see you here.
![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif)
I sent you a PM.

That look with pinks sounds amazing; maybe you can post a picture?!?!?! I can’t pull off many pink looks so I envy you! Vex is on my list now; I’ve also got Aubergine on my list as well (I think I need more dark purple colors). I don’t remember Gasoline; a GWP? Oil slick looks amazing for a liner color!

Ooooh, I love Aubergine. It is a great liner color too ( I need to get that color back out).I very rarely purchase blue eye shadows...they just don't look that good on me. I envy those who look good in those colors. Gasoline was from another mineral makeup company that is no longer around. And yes Oil Slick does make a great liner color too. I used it with a liner sealer. There with be shimmer fall out if you don't.
