Both lippies would work with your skintone too since they are fairly neutral.

Hey, same skintone as you! My newest addiction is the BB Creamy Lip Color - I think I own half the line:

Raisin Berry
Rose Petal
Bronzed Pink
Heather Buff
Blue Raspberry
Heather Mauve

I also have lip Colour in Brown and Putty, Ruby Lip Sheer, Metallic Lip Color in Brown, and various lip pencils and glosses, including Kir lipgloss, a fave.

I use her LE Copper Diamond Shimmer Brick and Sheer finished pressed powder in Soft Sand.

Even though I have yellow undertones, I find her foundations WAY too yellow, perhaps because I'm only 50% Asian.

I want more!!

I love the Copper Diamond SB still (I think I say this every time I post on Specktra lately) and I'm seriously lemming her other SBs.. and I plan to order two in the next 12 hours or so while the sale is still on but OH MY GOSH I can't decide which ones!

I'm NC30. Help, girls!

I'm an NC30 or NW 30 as well (can't remember which, the cool toned one), and I have shimmer bricks in Gold and Apricot. They are both super duper gorgeous, give me the freshest glow and I def recommend them. The thing is I think that they are both LE, but do get them if you find them

Bobbi Brown Gel Liners are not only more pigment-dense (e.g. one swipe will do ya!), they are also VERY moisture and humidity resistant. This liner survived daily applications in South India during August. I highly recommend this product for use in hot, humid climates.

Oh Tish, you'll love those! They are 2 of my staples. They wear crazy well...like nothing else.

My final November/December haul list for BB, including before and during F&F sale:

- Shimmering Nudes palette
- Blushed Rose Pot Rouge
- Pink Raspberry Pot Rouge
- Shimmer Bricks in Copper Diamond, Bronze, and Rose
- Glitter Lip Balm in Copper Diamond
- Gel Liner in Espresso.

... holy crap, I hauled a lot.

Tish, I've got both, and today I think I'm going for the Black Mauve Shimmer Ink and/or Black Plum Ink. I'll decide in-store.

Oh, and I built myself a little 3-Pan palette of Disco Pink, Rave, and Velvet Rope LE Glitter Glosses (UK website purchase)--oooh! I'm in love.

Enjoy the liner!

Yes, I've got the Copper Diamond Glitter Lip Balm. It's great for everyday, but for those with greater colour density needs, I recommend Bobbi Brown Glitter Lip Gloss--I got Disco Pink, Velvet Rope, and Rave. Anyone NC35 or above should go for the Glitter Gloss rather than the Balm if you want colour payoff.

I loooooooove Glitter!

I don't think they are similar, I really love desert rose but I tend to forget I have it even though it's absolutely gorgeous on. It really gives a healthy-pinky glow--darker pink and no sparkle HTH

There's no curse with that Black Pearl is there Argghhh, Pirates of the Caribbean...Curse of the Black Pearl....sorry, I couldn't resist

I have the Mauve Palette, and believe me, the blush is NOT for the faint of heart. It's really pigment dense, and I apply it with a fan brush instead of a regular blusher brush to avoid clown cheeks!

I am NC25 and here is a pic of me wearing the palette:

All right gals, I need help. I received my Pink Raspberry today and it absolutely WILL NOT LAST on my face! I set it with transluscent powder and applied with my fingers in thin layers and it just WILL NOT LAST. The shimmer brick powder I layered over it was still there and rubbed off on my finger at the end of the day, but it's like the blush just melted off my face. I didn't have to blot at all today, so not a ton of oil production either. WHAT DO I DO?

I think it is! It's definitely much darker than Blacktrack Fluidline.

 

[makeupobsessed]

Shimmer bricks all of them.
Ultra fine liner brush-i cant live without this brush.
Pot Rough Pale pink & Pink raspberry are my faves.
Spf 15 lip balm & any of the gel liners esp ivy & sapphire.

It's my fave shimmer Brick! The Gold one was too yellow so I gave it to a friend who's NC45.

I layer the faintest whisper of powder blush over the top with a fan brush, then set with powder. Lasts all day!
