Woo, makeup time! Google Images is failing me miserably when it comes to finding illustrative swatches for a lot of the lipsticks, so I think I'll just ask for the Guerlain Ombre Eclat 4 Couleirs Bronze Dore 481 to be put aside for the next time I see you :)

[the_grynne]

You got it! And since I have an idea of your colouring, could I make an editorial suggestion and push Nocturnal on you? It's a dark reddish berry that I find nice on cool, pale skintones.

[fahye]

Well, if you twist my arm :D Thanks!

[the_grynne]

HAHahahahahah! Success. :D

[the_grynne]

Sure thing! I'll email you once the giveaway is closed to get your shipping details and preferences.

[the_grynne]

You got it. :)

Hi! Thanks for doing this again. I still use that Nars lipstick I got from the last giveaway.

Could I please get the Sisley Sheer Burgundy, Hourglass Embrace and Rouge Bunny Rouge Periwinkle Cardinal?

Edit: sorry, forgot to add my email: powderandcrinolines [at] gmail

[the_grynne]

Ah, yes the NARS Heat Wave! EL Wild Fire is actually very similar to that, but with a more whitish base - not great on yellow skintones, unfortunately.

Got you down for Embrace, Sheer Burgundy, and Periwinkle Cardinal. :)

[agnes_perdita]

Ha yes! I love that orangey-red shade and getting it totally kick-started my love for lipsticks :D Before I was happy with one red and one pink and now I'm just addicted.

Adventurous! You got it.

I'll email at the end of the month to get your mailing details.

[sabrina_il]

Yay :D I actually hit the post button too soon by accident, I also meant to say thank you for doing this :)

Am I allowed to come back tomorrow and claim more stuff if it's still available? I LOVE LIPSTICK and have recently discovered I have a very narrow selection of colors since I moved out on my own.

[the_grynne]

Yes, you can claim 3 additional items every day, if you wish - provided they are still available. I'm going by Sydney time here, so the new day starts in...1 hour 2 min.

ETA: The shu's are all quite sheer, except PK318M which is a matte pink with white base. I think all of them are discontinued now. Dior Red Premiere is a bright, shiny blue-based red. Also discontinued, I think. You should be able to find swatches/photos of the others, fairly easily. Also, Shiseido Fucshia is AWESOME if you have cool toned skin - it's also got a white base, so it's a bit of a sickly pastel on my olive skin, sadly.

[calculare]

What? What!? It's still only the 4th!

Kevyn Aucoin Single Eyeshdow Copper ...unless it's very sparkly or really warm.

[the_grynne]

Ops. I made a typo. Sorry!!

It is not very warm, nor very sparkly. My issue with it is the payoff, which is quite sheer.

[calculare]

Rouge Bunny Rouge Periwinkle Cardinal is still a hilarious name.

[the_grynne]

It's full name is Rouge Bunny Rouge When Birds Are Singing Long-Lasting Eyeshadow in Periwinkle Cardinal...
