You probably already thought of this but just to get this topic rolling! What about Nubian Heritage's African Black Soap?.. I love it. Smells awesome, non-drying, creamy lather, etc. You can buy it really cheap on iHerb as well, with good shipping. (: They have other soaps that also smell amazing. h...

Annika, would you let me know what you think of Sandy when you get it, please? Either as a lid colour or a highlight

That's odd. I find cream blushes last longer on me (this goes for almost all brands). I have dry skin though, maybe that's why?.. My skin soaks it in and holds it.

I think you need Idolize plus a little bit of brown. Seems like Idolize looks different on everyone. But Idolize on my skin really looks like the swatch on the left, S&D.

Interesting, I would never have thought of tyring it with a brush... is it hard to clean off the brush if you want to use a powder blush with the same brush? I only have one foptic. I'm not sure on this because I only really use cream blushes now. I know the next day if I haven't washed my brush it...

This might sound a bit odd but I apply my cream blushes with SN's small foptic. For some reason my fingers rub off my foundation as the blush goes on and this applies it lighter and more precise.. for me.

Okay, I can't really help you, but crazy that you asked this! I was actually thinking about making a Whisper topic when I signed in (Nekkid and Purr look a bit dark for what I want) but I think I read somewhere it looks just like a sheer wash of sparkle so then I thought Sandy but I am tanning a bit...

Emma, I love that blistex lip balm too! It's the only non-natural lip balm I have left. I leave it in my car and it takes me back to summer everytime I put it on, that and Booster Juice's smoothie like it.

Almost everything turns red on my lips, that or it doesn't show up (and they're nothing special pigment wise). Colours with brown, like Rhapsody and Caramel, tone down the red a little and look more natural. I love XXX for staying true to brown though ;) and still allowing a -little- of my red/pink ...

Beautiful, Colleen! Brown Sugar and Brook go so nice together.. as do your eyes and mistletoe. I need to get some green eyeshadows.
