Sorry I keep posting all these questions, but I'm just trying to finalize my list of which ones to get.
First question, what lippie is the peachiest with the least red?
I sampled Mango(thanks to a lovely lady on this forum), and here is what it looks like one me:
I'm looking for more of a peachy gold, and not orangy-red, perhaps Fanfare? How does it compare to Mimosa? I liked Mimosa, but I think it was pretty sheer on me.
Do warmer tones and peaches even suit me, just because I love them, doesn't mean that they look best on me, so feel free to weigh in on that also...
Here's what I look like with nothing on my lips:
And here are the other samples I tried(how do these suit me?)
So I am considering all of the above that I samples, and also these:
Allure
Fanfare
Provoke
Sugar - too sheer?
Bon Bon
Beguile
Heirloom
Eden -too dark?
Pretty Please
If you could help me narrow down my list a little that would be great, are any too similar, or just would not suit me?
Alternatively, are there any I missed that I should consider?
Thank you for your help!

Re: A couple of questions on lippie colors (pics)
My picks are Mango and Best Friend. For some reason, the cooler tones kind of make you look like you are cold. The warmer, peachier ones make you look like the picture of health. I know lighting is huge on how the colors look, so it may be just the lighting for the cooler shades.
Bon Bon...I think you will think this too brown. It is sheer, and it might work for Fall.
Allure and Pretty Please....both look good. Pretty Please is just a little pinker and less shimmery.
Provoke...too cool toned in my opinion.
Sugar..very sheer and kind of frosty. It will mostly show up as your lip color.
Beguile...It is pink, but not super cool. I would pick this over the super cool toned colors.
Heirloom....very similar to Creampuff and slightly more opaque than Sugar.
Eden...Actually, I would pick this for you over Bon Bon for a Fall shade. It is about as universally flattering in a plum/pink tone as you can get. The only ones who might not be able to pull it off are those who are very warm toned.

Re: A couple of questions on lippie colors (pics)
I really like you with Mango on!!
I do think you will like Allure. It's very warm peach but really lovely.
Maybe you might want to try Blushberry as well. I seriously think it will look really lovely on you.
Hope that helps!

Re: A couple of questions on lippie colors (pics)
Thanks so much!
Jen your descriptions really help a lot!
frckls - Blusheberry looks really pretty, I may have to add it to my list!
Oh, and I forgot to include Nice Tan on my list, I think I really want to get that one!
Would Fanfare be ok for me, it's not too dark right?
Also, are Provoke and Bella similar?

Bella and Provoke are kind of close, but Provoke is a little more on the pink side.

I figured, maybe I'd get one cool one, even if it is too cool on it's own, it would be good for layering over other lippies.

I have currently have Allure, Fanfare, and Eden in my cart. Will you please post pictures when you receive them? You post very nice swatches. (I have found your YouTube postings helpful as well -- thank you!)
You and I have similar complexions. Of those listed above I think you will especially enjoy Pretty Please and Nice Tan. Jen's descriptions are very good. And I agree with frckls that Blushberry will suit you; it layers well with Pretty Please.
Enjoy!
Provoke is a dramatic statement color for me, but I love it.

Oh, looks like I'm too late, but I think Blaze would have fit the 'peachy gold, and not orangy-red' description. It layers beautifully over Dixie too.
Re: A couple of questions on lippie colors (pics)
I'll definitely do swatches, and YouTube video(although it will take a little longer for the video than the swatches).
Egerandi - I will probably end up placing another order once I save up for it, there was more lippies that I wanted that didn't make the cut this time around. So I can look into Blaze then That's good to hear that it is peachy gold and not red, I was worried that it would be red from the swatches, so that's why I skipped over it this time. I have yet to try a lip stain or a liquid gloss, maybe have to get one of those next time too!
