My go-to this weekend was Doll topped with Creampuff. It wasn't subtle, but we were away for the weekend, and it was nice because I could keep the rest of my look really simple. Gigi also got some attention- again topped with Creampuff because I washed the rest of the colors (it seriously bummed me out- I had visions of wearing Blaze for a lot of the weekend).
I can't believe how long Gigi lasts- it's actually the least pigmented of the bunch, but it seems to go forever on me.

Try Dixie with Zinnia: Orange explosion!
Dixie + Blaze makes for a gorgeous orange red with some shine.
Doll (or Gigi) + Crazy Love - fantastic cool pink.
That's it so far, I have to keep playing with them. The boyfriend is getting used to seeing me in three or four different and pretty wild combos during weekend days: sweats, hair in a bun and POW lipstick

Ladybug, that Creampuff is great with Roxie too!! I got a brown-plum shimmer lip today with this combo. Creampuff has just the right shimmer to it.

I am sooooo excited about these lipstains!!!! I'm an admitted lipstain junky and have tried them all - from the expensive "sephora" brands like vincent longo (a favorite in Babydoll and I'm thinking Silk naturals Doll might be a good dupe) and Lorac, to drugstore brands like Covergirl and Revlon. My favorite FOTD is mineral foundation, a generous helping of mascara, maybe a little climax blush which I use almost like a bronzer (fair skin), and a good strong lipstain with a little cherry chapstick on top. Then I usually keep a Bitten or Nectar lippie in my bag to sweep on during the day.
I was actually about to login and add a post to the suggestion forum for a matte lipstain like Tarte's! I couldn't believe it when I saw that there were lipstains added to the site! Just ordered all 4 and can't wait to try them
Anybody have swatches of them on??
Thanks!!!
Emily
