Pearl Blossom and Real Redhead. I love Real Redhead! Definitely not mauve nude, more peachy nude on me but some of my natural lip color shows through and adds the pink. And the formula is perfect! Like Light English Red from Prabal, just so smooth, super hydrating (at least for me), no lip line sinkage. Definitely better than the Cinderella lustres. I like it more than Romantic Breakdown as well. I haven't tried PB on the face yet but it looks pretty so far. I think I'm still going to pick up Call the Hairdresser and Notice Me as well.
Beautiful swatches. That is exactly what real redhead looks on me. I love it :heart:
I thought this collection was gonna be a total skip for me but I ended up grabbing Make Me Gorgeous lipstick which is actually a Amplified Creme and the 267 curved angle brush... The lipstick is bright as hell but doesn't photograph that way... It has a neon vibrancy that I love and is super creamy with a slight sheen to it... Its neon vibrancy makes it different from other coral-pink shades like Toying Around, Impassioned and Relentlessly Red in person if that makes sense

:eyelove: beautiful! I wish that's how make me gorgeous looked on me. It was exactly like toying around. Same color with more sheen. I wore toying around yesterday specifically to compare them. And when I swatches them side by side, there was no difference. :sigh: Do you have any lipliner or lipgloss on?

Looking Good fluidline (L) vs. Artifact paint pot (R)

Looking good obviously has a brighter red/burgundy tone to it and more sparkle. I love both.

I am loving Blue Peep! Not loving Notice Me so much though. I don't know why I was under the impression that it was more pigmented lol. It barely shows up on my lips.

JP lippies have the dreaded coming soon blah You did it yourself! Wow awesome job. What color brand did you use?
Thank you!!! I did it myself this morning actually a lot of people are scared to try color because of the bleaching but I say life is for the living! I just try to condition it as much as possible since my hair is very dark and I don't want to damage it
Yassssss! It is beautiful :eyelove:
Oh you will not regret PR.

Never use 91% or 99% alcohol. It doesn't do anything to sanitize. Only 70% alcohol sanitizes, and over time it dries out your brushes, so you shouldn't be using it on your brushes anyway.
I used the lavender one.. but some brushes felt gummy afterward. :( Am I doing something wrong? It worked best on goat hair, it was the synthetic hair that felt almost greasy.

Do you dilute your Dr. Bronners at all when you use it for brushes? I've been thinking of picking up the almond one.
Nope. I just pour some in a bowl and dip the tip of my brush in and work up a lather and rinse until it doesn't lather any more. But you just need a little bit cuz it goes a looooong way!
Erine said Dr Bronner liquid soap is good for brushes. It's probably cheaper too. Target has a 16oz bottle for less than $10, and you can even wash a goat with that! Haha. The sigma mat seems like a total rip off! It's really just a silicone glove with different textures with a bumped up price. You can find a textured silicone oven mitt for about $10. The people at the art store probably wonder why you buy lots of brushes and no paint. Haha. I'm sure I get the same reaction at Pat Catans. I should look at Michaels too though because Pat Catans brushes have long handles that get in my way.
Those silicone mits and mats ruin the brushes. I don't understand why people try and find the lazy way to clean their brushes :rolleyes: Just use your hands people!

You're probably not getting all the soap out. The synthetic brushes tend to hold the soap more than the matural fibres. Just make sure you're not picking up too much soap and you're making sure you rinse it all out. I just keep rinsing until there's no more suds.

Got my goodies & I really love everything.

Notice Me is SOOOOOO pretty if you just use a light application

The prettiest pinky lilac.
Real Readhead may be my favorite. Its a slight rosy nude. It gives my lips that fresh just bitten baby lip color.
Catty is a pretty light pink.
MMG - A light application & smooshing your lips together makes it very pretty.
Call The Hairdress is a very pretty baby strawberry shade.
French Twist is ok. Its a pale peach nude.

I used Whirl with Real Redhead & it was really pretty.
