it looks like smoked purple.? dramatic encounter is like a redish brown to me
I think it depends on your natural lip color? It definitely looks like a reddened plummy brown on my lips. It has enough blue for me to call it dark purple, but it is really more of a blackened plum. I really like it BTW.

off topic: im so worry with the new flu going around. i got my shot but im immunocompromised so im going to be in my room till its gone. im not kidding! get your shots girls!!
I'm a bit worried too, especially since I'm pregnant, and everyone at work seems sick. I did get my flu shot though. Hopefully, it will protect me this year. (It didn't do any good last year.)

It's a bright sunny day! So i attempted to take some photos! I hope this gives some idea of Lust and Grid, both from the mid-90s. Lust is very frosty pale lilac, Grid has a warm violet base with blue sheen.

Grid is in a silver bullet, and it turns out it's actually still OK. Lust is a bit older, in a FLAT TOPPED tube, and is rancid. I also put on both lipsticks. Since Lust has gone bad, i put on Prep+Prime Lip first, took my terrible photo, then wiped it off immediately afterwards.

Lust on the left; Grid on the right, swatched on my inner arm - my very first swatch photo! You can see Grid's blue sheen toward the top of the swatch.



Since i'm using a camera, i cannot see how things look when i point the lens at myself, so please excuse the terrible lip photos, but at least you can see Grid's blue sheen.

I am nearly finished with one of my Go For Its and I just recently opened my second Lavender Whip. My first one plopped on the bathroom floor of my office, so I threw it out and cried. How are you resisting such beautiful purples? What is your secret? I need to know.

Makes me sad. I've never even touched my lavender whip (aside from a hand swatch) or my go for it.
