Woohoo!
I just got home from a physio appointment and my box arrived within minutes. How's that for timing?
Ivy & Siahi are both lovely. I've always been shy of wearing coloured liners. This is honestly the first blue liner I've owned in years. (Too many bad memories of sneaking in to use my mother's only eyeliner, which was navy.) I'm excited to use both of these, though. I don't find the colour too sheer, although I suppose that most colours will look a little less intense next to black. I find them about the same consistency as Dark Diversion.
Saffron is exactly what I wanted. It's more orange, less coral than Follow Your Fancy and it has a golden tone that makes it really rich. This is one satin where I can really see the sheen, too. I don't see the red brick comparison at all. I don't have RB, but when I've seen it in store, it really is a warm red colour, whereas Saffron is a distinct golden orange.
Mehr is a lovely, all-purpose lipstick. It's very safe and standard, but it's a lovely colour. Below is a swatch of it in the middle. On top is Brave, which is close but a noticeably more brown and below is Warm Me Up, which is brighter and more orange. Also, I've included photos of all three on my lips, as well of a shot of my lips on their own. I don't know how apparent the difference is on most people's computer screens, but Mehr is quite a bit darker than Brave, as well as being pinker/ cooler. Brave is more of a true neutral, while WMU is quite warm, a really caramel colour with just a bit of pink in it. Hope this helps with people's choices! (All photos were taken in natural light with no flash.)
