Hello!!
I have dark skin (MAC NC 45..1:1 buttery gold:ivory, with a liiiiitle bit of peach to darken it a tad).
So far I have: Jaybird, Hot blooded and Fig Leaf. In general, I like them all! It took me a little while to make them work for me, but I really do like jaybird and fig leaf...hot blooded seems a bit tooo red for me. Fig Leaf barely shows up on me (my lips are really pigmented) but it adds a nice shine and a tiiiiny bit of tint. I thought maybe Hotblooded would be better because it seemed more pigmented..but I think it might not be the right red for me. Would Reddy look better? It seems a bit darker. Because my skin is so dark, I think really bright colors look strange on me. However, I'm going to give Hot blooded some more time, because it took me a few days to really start liking jay bird and fig leaf.
One of my favorite colors is Mango, from Alima, which is described as a shimmering coral pink (http://www.alimapure.com/roi/772/Minera ... g-Lipbalm/). Is there a color on SN that is similar to this? Mirabelle seems nice but maybe too much peach? Maybe Mimosa? Not too sure.
Anyways, thanks!!

I'm slowly becoming really really really (unhealthily) obsessed with obtaining everything on this website..haha
