Wow so much useful information to absorb..... :D

Based on all of the suggestions, I think I can successfully rule out Cultured (too brown), Foreplay (too peach), Heirloom (too pink), Bisou (too red berry), Rare Berry (too strawberry pink), and Breathless (too plum and brown). I am basing this mostly on my skin tone (warm beige/yellow with olive undertones and red overtones) and the fact I want the color to be more warm pink than warm peach.

As far as the lippies I have that I have worn (yes, I have some lippies I haven't worn yet.....what a tragedy! :o ), the colors show up pretty true on my lips despite their semi-dark pink tone and my neutral to warm skin tone. I have worn Nectar, Carnation, Sweetheart, Ginny (LOVE!), Truly, Prelude, and Icing and I pretty much get the same color from the tube to come out true on my lips (even Ginny shows up fairly accurate).

So far, Maiden and Twirl are looking most promising.....I ordered Maiden today. Since I need a little color on my lips in the winter to avoid looking dead, I thought the coverage and shade might work better than Twirl for the upcoming months.

What do you all think?

Thanks for all of the great advice!

I think Maiden is a good start. As for Breathless, I don't find it to brown at all...it actually pulls just a little too pink for me. Definitely pinker than Nectar.

It really does depend on your natural coloring.

On me, Maiden was too peachy and Breathless was too brown but Cultured was a just right, sexy nude pink.

What about Soft?

Very excited to get Maiden. I think you and I both have olive skin tones, right? If Maiden is one of your favorites (based on your signature info), I bet I will love it too!

That is interesting about Breathless.....I'll have to give that one another look. I always thought it looked pink/mauve/brown (cool in essence) based on the swatches I have seen.

Maiden is coming in the mail as we speak so I will see if it turns too peachy on me too. If Maiden doesn't work out, I am going to go for Twirl, Pretty Please, and/or Breathless next.

Cultured looks really pretty. It looks to be in the same color family as Breathless so it might work as well.

Soft looks cool to me, but it might make a nice contrast to the warmth of Petal. Hmmmmm.....decisions decisions!
