sweet nothing, fig leaf and divine

Considering the descriptions , sweet nothing and fig leaf seemed to be a kind of natural-red -on-a-pale-girl, but I'm wondering if it's useful to take both? And considering the swatches, i think that divine, which I also intended to take, might be a little too close to sweet nothing. What do you think if you have tried them? Thanks!

I have both Sweet Nothing and Fig Leaf. I really like both of them, but they are very similar colors. Sweet Nothing is more sheer and mauve, while Fig Leaf is more opaque and plum, if that makes sense. I hope that helped! I'm sure you will like either one or both of them! :)

So far jeremyisperfect described the differences of Fig Leaf and Sweet Nothing pretty well.

Divine is much more of a neutral taupe in comparison to the other two. For example, Fig leaf is more pigmented than Sweet Nothing and both are a bit darker in color than my natural lip color and show up well. Sweet Nothing is the sheerer of the two. Divine is not quite dark enough for my pigmented lips unless I am looking to wash my lip color out a little. Divine still has more pigment in it than the other two, as it is a demigloss. IMO they are all pretty different. If I had to pick the two that were closest, I'd chose Fig Leaf and Sweet Nothing.
