Sugar Plum lipgloss...???

UPDATE: What happened to Sugar Plum lipgloss? Will it be back?
**********

I am in absolute love with Maiden and Rare Berry. The pigment and intensity is ideal in these for daytime wear. I am looking for lippies that are either matching these two in intensity, or slightly darker.. but nothing lighter. I am fair, with yellow and pink undertones.

I have my eye on the following colors (ranked in order of interest): Sweet nothing, Breathless, Skinny dip and Tender.
Sweet nothing looks amazing on the skin swatch, but I saw another shot of it where it looked too purple. Hmm. I like the sheerness of it though.
I'm not a fan of shimmers too much. I know a couple of the ones I listed have some shimmer; how are they in relation to Maiden and Rare Berry?

If someone can break down these colors in comparison to eachother, and the other two colors I already have, that would be awesome. Oh, and I believe all these colors are the "kisser slicker" lipglosses; let me know if I'm wrong. I'm not a fan of the liquid glosses, so I'm not interested in those. I like the lowmaitenance of the kisser slickers, and I love love love the formula! Now I just need to work on my collection :)

Any help is appreciated! And if there's a color similar to the ones I'm thinking of, that I haven't listed, let me know. I know sometimes swatches aren't very helpful in terms of how something looks on. Sorry for the rambling, I hope someone can help :)
Oh, and I read somewhere that there is going to be some change with some of the lipglosses? What is this about, are more colors being released? When should we expect these? SO may questions, hehe.

First of all, Sweet Nothing and Skinny Dip are in the brown family. The colors you love have quite a bit of peach and only a slight amount of pink, and almost no brown. For those two, I guess it would depend on your opinion of brown lippies. Skinny Dip is browner than Sweet Nothing. Sweet nothing is slightly plummier. Skinny Dip is themore pigmented, and Sweet Nothing is a bit sheer.

Tender is a sheer warm peachy pink with a slight shimmer. The pigment level is not near that of Maiden and Rare Berry. As I have said, it is more sheer.

Breathless might be a good choice. It is a rosy brownish pink with no peach. The shimmer in it is not very noticeable, and the pigment level is similar to the two you have.

As far as the changing of the lippies, I am thinking you might be referring to the reformulation of the lipstick. It is still in process. The Kisser Slickers are not being changed other than new colors being made.

Other colors of interest.....since I am not sure if you want a neutral or brighter look, this one is tough. If you want a reddish brown with no shimmer, Jaybird is a good choice. Also Fig Leaf is a good non-shimmer plummy brown that is plummier than Sweet Nothing. You have the corner covered on the non-shimmer pinky peach lippies. Caramel is more peach than Maiden and lacks pink.

Thanks so much :)
It looks like I'm going to be trying Breathless and I'll look into Jaybird again. It was one I was thinking about earlier as well.

I got a sample of this lipgloss in my last order... I just tried it today and am in love with the color. I didn't think it would work because it looks so dark, but I was so wrong.

I can't find it on the website though, was it discontinued? :(

It was my favorite lippie from the Holiday line. I hope it is just out of stock, but it can always come back later.
