hmm... I think perhaps a blue toned red with gold pearl? just gotta find one that matches that description lol...
Either that - or I reckon something like Cult of Cherry l/g or Red Romp l/g would work well!
Here is a FOTD where I used Red Romp l/g:

Samibabe - you're officially the lippy queen!
And yup, I don't really wear l/g that much. It tends to aggrevate me a bit so I'm more of a l/s fan. I also am severely lacking in the l/l dept! This is one area of makeup that I neglect! I'd just rather spend $$ on shadows and lippies, rather than l/ls! I probably should invest in a neutral and a pink tho..
I think I'll have to get Cream Cup actually... I don't have any pale blue pink lippies to go with grey smokey eyes. I only have a pale mauve and darker blue purple and blue reds to go with cool toned makeup.
Whereas, if I got Creme in your Coffee, I already have something similiar to use.
Rah... I should just re-store my half filled piggy jars and do B2M methinks (less guilty approach to consumerism. heheh)
Sorry for the rambling ladies... just thinking aloud!

I find applying Red She Said l/s with a lip brush completely tones down the colour as opposed to actually using the stick directly.
Red lipstick was made for blondes, chicky! Get into it!

I'll try Creme Cup then! I have a Red She Said that I haven't tried yet coz it looks dark but I'll try it with a lip brush!
rockin: I know how you feel! You just need to get used to it.. the first time I tried Russian Red I felt like a freak haha. It's bright and fun though! Although I prefer Lady Bug coz it's less "WOW RED!"

^^I like the quad alot and I'm happy with my purchase. A few of the colours are chalky - but workable and pretty. You just need a good base. I'll go through each one for you!
- Creme Royale - Gorgeous highlight, nice and smooth. Dupes: Femme Fi, Phloof!, Cloud Bound (Panedemonium Quad)
- Stylin is the chalkiest but even so, its a gorgeous violet colour and I have no other shade like it. It looks really good with Electro Sky paint pot if you have that. Dupes: Climate Blue would be the closest but Stylin has more violet in it.
- Paradisco - Hardly any colour payoff so you need to really pack it on. Might be nice over Perky paint pot or an orange base. I ended up blending Shockwave from the Fafi Eyes 2 Quad over top of it to make it orangier. Not chalky, adds a nice sheen. Dupes: Cant think of any dupes!
- Lucky Tom - The dark browny/black colour. Kind of chalky but I didn't find it hard to blend with my 224 brush. I like it because you can apply it really subtley or build the colour. Dupes: Can't think of any really.. It's kind of like Smut with bits of glitter.

^^Creme Cup!!! It's so pretty
Its kind of like Sugar Trance lipglass but in lipstick form. I swatched Creme in Your Coffee and it was just blahhh on me. You should try them both and then decide!

I like the idea of Creme in your Coffee, but I don't really have lots of blue toned pink lippies.. so maybe Cream Cup would be better? |

Thanks Spectrolite for the review! Makes it much easier to decide if I want it. So I think I'll pass on the quads, they look amazing but if they're not awesome and a must have then it's better I pass. I really need to build my neutrals and get out there with my lippies so I'll probably go for the l/g & l/s from the collection.
On a fun note I got my gold mode piggie in the mail today!! So pretty, can't wait to do a golden brown look tomorrow! I also grabbed Stila colour converter in Peony because I heard it's a great universal blush/lip colour. I've not used a creme blush before so this should be interesting....

Played with the HK piggy Deep Blue Green. It's a lot darker than I expected, kind of had to follow the same rules in application as I do with Carbon - ie. little itty bits only. One thing I discovered today is that Teal and Spiritualise look great with Gold Dusk swept over them. Could've done with aquadiasic in this to introduce a softer green colour in the inner 1/3 lid - but I am yet to grab this! GRR.
Needless to say, I was late for work today.

Deep Blue Green piggy (outer 1/3 lid + V, lower 2/3 lash line)
Black Pencil (waterline outer 2/3)
Revlon Liquid Liner (top lashline flick) - ran outta time to even contemplate using f/l!
Dior Show
LIPS:
Marquise'd l/s (although i think i could do with something with a little more colour for this look)
Me pulling a stupid face..

Awesome - greens are great fun. I've fallen in love with blues of late.
How's your course going? I'm so jealous. I can't do mine 'til July (need to finish uni degree first), but it will be with Media Makeup and they use MUFE!!!
