cozy up haute altitude i put up more swatches and comparisons of other lipsticks on my blog www.dhariana.com  
Both are great nudes on you! I think you just made me want Cozy Up, but my skintone is more like T's and I don't love it on her. It is a perfect nude on you though! *sigh* Eta...just checked your blog, nice photos! Cozy Up is just gorgeous on you!

Thank you so much!! You should still try cozy up. The color of the lips changes how it looks also

Just got my Stereo Rose in the mail!

It's heavenly on NC50!

Glad I got a backup.

It's the perfect highlighter and gives your skin the best sheen also. No hint of glitter anywhere, just dewiness :)

Still waiting on my second order with my MES.

Mine should be here today, hopefully before I go to work. But are you using it as a blush or as a highlighter?

Damn, after seeing T's lipstick swatches and full face photos, I think I do need Apres Chic after all. I can't wait to receive HA, HC, and SR (and SW) today! UPS should be here anytime now... *patiently waits for her black boxes*

Both. Stereo Rose has enough color to be a blush and a highlight. Sometimes that's all you need on the cheeks. When I put it on I was able to see the color and it just brightened my face, so I didn't feel the need to add a blush on top. (Same thing happened with Superb MSF the other day. I opted out of wearing a blush and received many compliments).

If I want a deeper flush to the cheeks, then I would use it as a highlight in conjunction with a blush.
It really just depends on the look you are going for :)

Haute Altitude lipstick looks gorgeous on T. Wonder if it looks like that in real life too... In her pictures it looks like the prettiest nude pink lipstick. I might have to break my lipstick no-buy for it. Hmm.

On me it is the prettiest nude pink lipstick I have found thus far.

Here are my pics with Mehr. Mehr is on the left, HA on right. NC15 skin

Thank you so much for this! The two look pretty much identical on my screen and I already have Mehr which I love, but don't need a dupe of especially as it's permanent. Brilliant! :)

what do you think about Cozy Up compared to Delectable? I have the latter and really love love love it but I don't need a dupe or something similar...

Looove AC on T. I bet it has the good CS formula as some purples do. Hurry up with my box, Mac!

Cosy Up I have to see on my lips to make up my mind. I'm afraid it will be one difficult colour on me.

I just ordered backups of Hot Chocolate in a frenzy because Apres Chic sold out. I'm kind of regretting not backing up AC itself, even though it looks almost exactly like Fire Sign on me--albeit not quite as opaque, of course. I'm hoping Nordstrom still has Apres Chic in stock when I get paid on Monday.
