Swatches of my lippies on the lips

Here are the Spring collection lippies I got, plus the 2 I got from Valentine's Day that I forgot to take pics of earlier.

I was really hoping you would post swatches of the new lippies, as I can finally look at them now that I have a proxy server.
And, I must say, I have never seen anyone look lovelier in pastels! I especially like you in Reaction, Playful, Twirl, and Hey Baby.
The Coy/ Mango on the previous post is dynamite also :D

Did you pick up any of the Matte Lights?

You look über cute in Sweet Pea, Twirl, and Reaction!!! Love it!! I see Twirl pulls a little pink on you. I really hope that Twirl will be true pale coral on me. I have difficulty having peach/coral to not looking pink. I even have tried Chanel and YSL (I have the cream blush in Velvety Peach), and they still fail on my lips. :cry:
I hope on me it will look like Mango+Coy on you....

Thank you!
I did get one mattelight in Linen, I put the swatches of it in the Swatch thread. I have not worn it yet, but it looks really pretty. It is like a subdued version of the eyelights, still a little bit of sparkle/pearl but less so than the eyelights.

Twirl does not look pink in the tube at all, I think it is my lips making it look pinker, they are pretty pink so that is probably why. Do you have pigmented lips? Maybe that's what makes corals pull pink on you? I don't really know what a solution to that would be, putting a little concealer on your lips maybe, but that would lighten the lippie. I do really like Twirl though, I wasn't sure how a milky peach would look on me, but I ended up being very happy with it :)

I like Playful, but I am afraid it looks too light. Maybe it will look good if I have a tan...
I was also surprised by how brown Hey Baby was, but I do like, it is like Nice Tan but a little deeper and more pink.
