SpringBean vs. Squirt
What do you all think? Both useful? One better than the other?

I personally like Spring Bean but Squirt is good if you don't really care for the pearl that Spring Bean has.

Squirt is just a little brighter/darker than Spring Bean.

On me Squirt showed up too much and you could for sure see the green even with a sheer application. Spring Bean is more sheer so I am able to wear it and get that nice caramel look.

BTW I have medium pigmented lips

I think in general Squirt is better for ppl with really pigmented lips. I have pigmented lips and Spring Bean really is clear on me while Squirt can give that honeyed look. Then again I like Lustreglass texture better so...

2nd. My lips are moderately pigmented and Spring Bean didn't show up. I like Squirt a lot, and when it's too much I just tone it down with liner.

I'd say it depends on how pigmented your lips are. For more pigmented lips (like mine) I'd use squirt to get that good caramelly glaze from the pigment. For less pigmented lips I'd go with spring, so they can get that carmelly look without the hint of lime green.

I just got Squirt about a week ago. The whole reason that I got this is to get that Marilyn Monroe-esque lips. You know the one with the red lips with the subtle hint of looking orange.

Maybe something like this.

Springbean is much better, because it has this crystal, glass-y effect, while Squire is more "milky."
