plzz help me select slimshines!!!

[shimpaniac]

Hey y'all...
plzzz help me in selecting a nice new shade of slimshines...i've to go to MAC tomorrow, as the new collection just came out where i live.Which colours do u think flatter our skintone best?? I'm NC 35/37,dark eyes ,dark hair.
Honestly, if u guys think they're really not out of the world, i'll save my bucks for the upcoming collections.I've read some reviews saying their lasting power leaves a lot to be desired.I'm not dyinggg for new lipsticks but if they're actually to-die-for, ill get a few.Keep in mind that i do NOT want something that washes me out at allll....thats what often happens with light shades.But at the same time, i dont want anything bright.No oranges,reds,violets.I like subtle,sheer my-lips-but-better shades.Maybe pinky peach or berry,like those L'oreal's "shine delicious" that came out ages back..!!! I SO loved it!!!Vivaglam 5 is my absolute fav colour,for reference.
Hope u guys can help me out...and if u can give me a description of some of the shades, it'll be great!!! Thanx a whole lot in advance

Hi hun,
I remembered I replied in your other post about nude lippies (hug me)....guess what, if you're not too crazy about hug me, try bare slimshine - I own that one too--I find it to be very similar to hug me but a tad softer/sheerer (but it's buildable)...it's a great nude and since I have the same skintone/features as you do (with medium pigmented lips), I'm sure it will work well for you.

The textures of the slimshines are great - ultra smooth, sheer, but buildable, and glossy looking (no need for an extra layer of gloss!). I know the MAC site says that most of them are "frost" finishes - but they are not - I tried all 16 at the store (lol, don't ask, got a little too excited) and none of them even had a hint of shimmer on me - they are NOTHING like the frost formulation of the regular lipsticks, which I ALWAYS avoid, because they make my lipstick look thickly applied and uneven

I know a couple of them look ultra bright in the tube, but don't let that scare you, all of them apply sheerly, sort of like a stain.

Below are among the ones I purchased that you might enjoy:
-Bare (pinky-beige nude, similar to hug me, but slightly less pinky, sheerer and glossier, very forgiving and won't give you that milky/corpsy apperance that a lot of nudes tend to make me look)
-Urgent: I know these looks RED in the tube, but applies very sheer with a beautiful berry stain - it's great for medium skintones
-Gaily - soft pink with a hint of coral (but nothing bright, and not too orangy at all)
