Thanks Samantha for the swatches. I'll go for Berry Crush and Berry Nice and maybe Seedy. The rest are too brownish for me!

i definitely have my favorites.

Gold Blush and berry crush are girly but subtle and probably my favorite so i wear them the most often.

I love birthday suit with earth tones.

My more dramatic colors are regal/jaybird and rapture/seedy

And the rest kinda depends on what i'm wearing. (I wear foreplay with peaches and pout,damsel,etc with pinks that sorta thing)

I like my options. lol. There are a few that i don't wear that often but liked enough not to return them.

The one or two that just don't look good with my coloring get used at oddball times, ROFL, like when I'm home alone cleaning...or those middle-of-the-night potty stops! I just like the feel of them on my lips, period!

Rhonda isn't especially dark, no. It's sort of a goldie pinkie lavender colour - hard to describe, but it looks very pretty on. I can even wear it, and I have a fairly cool skin tone - for somebody warmer, I'm betting it'd be fantastic.

I would like to add to what Rhys said. Rhonda is not dark, but it is a bit darker than it shows in the pic (the flash caught the bronze in it). One very tricky thing about lippie swatches -they in no way tell you what they will look like on *your* lips. They really only tell how they differ from one another.

IMO Berry Crush is lighter in hue, but it is a much more pigmented lippie. Berry nice is a sheer berry color; Berry Crush is a pink with a golden sparkle, but your lips don't show through much. I hope this helped.
