Haha sorry

I only had one other hot pink lipgloss and that's why i bought Splashing. If you have a lot of pink lipglosses you might not need it. Try one of those over Blooming Lovely maybe it works the same as Splashing.

It looks that me too, but I wear it anyway. If I add a bright pink lip gloss over it, it becomes less grey and more wearable for me. But I really love the colour and I can pull it off if I am wearing cool tone e/s and blush. Someone in my office asked me why I was wearing a purple lipstick and I just smiled. Didn't bother to explain.

I've still been searching for Petals&Peacocks, all the stores near me only have peachstock left! I hope that I can find one next weekend in Chicago...or I guess I can always stalk my CCO. Should've gotten it earlier...

Yes it has a greyish cast to it, and the fact that it's actually a pale color (much paler than my natural lip color), it makes me look dead if I wear it alone. I'm cool-toned, so it's not due to the fact that I can't carry this off because it's too "cool" for me. I would pair it with smokey eyes though, they look so hot together, so I just treat this as my nude lipstick (more interesting than the usual brown nudes anyway).

 

[peachsuns]

^ Do you pair it up with some lip gloss or liner? Hmm, I never thought about Blooming Lovely as nude lip stick. It sounds hot, Winnie.

I'm such a geek - I passed the scarf, because I thought that it would be much cooler to buy a scarf at the original Liberty's in London when I went there two weeks ago - and all the scarfs were like 150 pounds.

I was so mad and so sad that I passed the scarf when the collection came out!

yeah the brand isn't a cheap one sadly!

 

[Anneri]

Indeed

But I bought a wonderful Paul Smith silk scarf - my bf got a shirt with the same pattern on the inside of the cuffs - I love that!

Hello, ladies,
Does anyone know any perm blush similar to Prim & Proper? TIA!

I'm not really a lip gloss person, but I guess a pale cool-toned pink or purple gloss will go perfectly. Didn't pair it with liner too, as just a light coating of the lippie is already enough to achieve the desired effect. But I'm thinking it would work with In Synch l/l.

I can't wait to try it out with Color 3 quad (the purple one). I think they will look smashing together. I'll try to take pics when I eventually get the opportunity to do this combo.

I am the same skintone as you are and Blooming Lovely looks lovely.

You could try a liner like Pink Treat, an MA told me to try this with Gaga, as I thought it was garish on me.

 

[dreamer246]

Gaga is more of an everyday color for me, definitely more wearable than Blooming Lovely because Gaga doesn't have that greyish cast to it.

 

[peachsuns]

Hi, guys, I tried Blooming Lovely with a thin layer of another midium pink lip stick, and it was gorgeous!

No more hypothermia. Haha. I wore Sweet & Punchy, Shimmermoss, Sand & Sun, and Float on By on eyes. I will try more combinations. I'm loving spring/summer collections.

 

[BEA2LS]

i paired blooming with nico gloss before and it balanced it out nicely, which surprised me.

 

[sailordom]

I've also paired Blooming Lovely with Plum l/l to make it more wearable for my NC25 self.

I usually top it off with a pink gloss -- the pic in my profile (not my avatar, but on my Specktra profile page) is with Plum l/l and English Accents l/g, but I've also used Bobbi Brown Confetti and Urban Decay Kinky with it.

Throw it on and go!

But when I want to "tone it down" I use it with Girl About Town as shown in the picture below

 

[peachsuns]

I'm glad that you girls are rocking Blooming Lovely. Thank you so much for all the suggestions and gorgeous pics (Thanks, sailordom and MsWestchesterNY!

)! I think I found some ways to wear it, too. Now this is becoming one of my favorite items from this collection.

 

[LMD84]

aha! i shall try teaming it with girl about town lippie - i will have a mess about tonight. that combo sounds interesting!
