Damsel, Soft, Seedy, Berry Nice: Which one?

I'm reviving this thread because I'm trying to decide on a pink lip gloss. The sheer lip glosses are exactly what I'm seeking, so I've narrowed down my choices to Damsel, Soft, Seedy, and Berry Nice. Are they all the same amount of pigmentation? I only want to get one of these four so I'd appreciate your thoughts.

A little about me: I have mostly yellow undertones with some peach and have been matched to M.A.C. NC20-25 (light to medium) in depth. I have pale pink un-pigmented lips and I'd like to get a MLBB pink that I can apply without a mirror. I dislike anything purple-ish on my lips.

Here are my notes on each lippie under consideration:

Damsel: Site description is "absolutely sheer strawberry pink." Looks the lightest in Jen's swatches (see below). I'm wondering this might be too bright and garish. For reference: BeaT and Karen discuss Damsel

Soft: Site description is "medium pink almost sheer" and "cool toned." This is the front-runner because it seems to be the universally flattering crowd favorite and is recommended as such by Karen. I'm shying away from the phrase "cool toned."

Seedy: Site description is "raspberry mauve" and "little bit more blue/mauve." Too cool/blue for me? Does "raspberry" come across as purple-ish?

Berry Nice: Site description is "sheer raspberry." Looks the darkest in Jen's swatches. Again, does "raspberry" come across as purple-ish?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Extemter.....Soft, Soft, Soft, Soft, Soft....definitely can be applied w/o a mirror. I use the others you mentioned as well, but for what you are seeking, I highly recommend Soft! Just a natural flush of color, like a child's natural liptone.

I received Soft today and it's exactly what I wanted. Soft provides a translucent wash of pink that tints my lips but is still sheer enough that I don't worry about coloring outside my lips without a mirror. Although the pink is cool-toned, it looks great on my warm (yellow/peach) skin. I'm thrilled!

Woah! This is seriously cool because those are the four lippies I'm torn between and can only afford one of, so finding that you've asked this exact same question and gotten an answer - I'm really grateful! Spooked out, :D but really grateful. 8-)

Which lipgloss would look like that one? I already have Damsel and it might be close but a little too dark/fuschia. Oh yes, and less shimmery than, for example, gold blush. Thanks!

I would lean toward Grace Kiss Bliss.
