Maiden and Precious Lippies.

Post by rubycat95 » Tue Mar 17, 2009 7:10 pm

If and when anyone gets these new lippies would you be willing to post some pictures? I'm trying to decide if these will work for me or if they are too golden/warm, especially Precious.
Thanks in advance!

I am working on this. Hopefully by tomorrow!

I definitely think Maiden would suit you. Precious is in the family of Gold Blush and Berry Crush. Did you like either of those?

With a lot of new products and a few retirements, it might be fun to redo the SN swatch page with all the eyeshadows and liner swatches on one page, and another similar one with lippies. It's be a big job, indeed, but it's be a great excuse to play ;)

I agree we need an update. I am not ready to tackle anything huge until I get my work space set up. I can do a few things here and there when I have time to set up for pics in the kitchen. I am shooting for having something set up all of the time. I hope it is within the next few weeks.

I just take the pics and Karen does the spreads. I might need to experiment with the spreads myself.

Thanks Jen, your swatches are awesome and it would be great to see them. I do like Gold Blush, but haven't tried Berry Crush. My very favorite right now is Peace. I think I'm going to have to order both of these soon!

Here is what I have. I did not get good pics of the metallic aspect of Berry Crush. Also, Precious does flash gold a little more. It is an interference gold rather than a straight gold like in Gold Blush. Maiden has very little shimmer, but it is very close to my natural lip color right now. By summer, my lips will have darkened to Fig Leaf.

Thanks for the swatches, Jen!

Makes choosing so much easier :) Thought Precious & Maiden looked fairly similar on the site pics, but now I can see they're quite different.

Jen, as usual, your swatches are amazing! Thank you so much for posting these. It's hard to tell what the color will be from the descriptions sometimes.

One more question!!

Does anyone have the originals and the SN dupes and can swatch side by side?

I have the original Hunny Bunny and also Precious.

Will swatch after lunch. =)

*** Lunch ***

Ok, I swatched Precious wiith Hunny Bunny/Babydoll.

Who wants to see? Just for fun, before you click the link below, mentally decide how much of a clone Karen made it out to be? If you get it right, treat yourself to a tube of Precious. If you don't, comfort yourself with a consolation prize -- a tube of Precious. ;)
