Jen I ordered BonBon and it should be here tomorrow. But I got it because it says it is a deep brown with purple and the above swatch you have marked as BonBon is a nude color.....I very confused as to the true color...help ..thanks.

I swatched Bon Bon right from the tube.....it is sheer deep brown with a slight purple. It is listed as an opacity of 1 with the scale of 0 being sheer and 5 being completely opaque.

I do have to tell you that it was my first love in a lippie at SN. It is a lip enhancer like Gold Blush.

Thanks Jen. I guess I should have waited for the swatches. And I'll read and reread the opacity on them.

It is still a deep chocolate brown color. It is just sheer. It looks nude on my skin because that is most of what you see.....my skin color. On my lips, you see my lip color with a wash of sheer, slightly shimmery brown. Deep and opaque are different descriptors and part of the reason why we are moving toward the number scales....to make the descriptions mean more, especially across differing languages. Opacity, or something that is opaque means it blocks out the base color, and is hightly pigmented. Deep just means the brown is a dark brown rather than a tan brown.
Here is an old swatch that is a little better for Bon Bon.

Hi, got my haul yesterday. The colors I got were Incognito(gwp), Posse, Range, Mojave, Homecoming Queen, and Rodeo. I swatched them, but haven't had time to really play with them yet, but I thought some pics might be helpful to you guys.
Enjoy!
