I think I want to find a lighter beige color in a pencil. This is a little too dark for me, and gives my lips a slight orange tint that is not so flattering when wearing more nude or neutral lip colors. I like the formula well enough...it's creamy enough to glide on without pulling my lips, but it's also long lasting without drying. 

The Glossimer in Plaisir has become one of my favorite neutral glosses!! I really love the formula. I find it long lasting, moisturizing and not as sticky as some of my other glosses. I've worn it so much over the Summer that it's time to buy another one! This time I'll probably purchase at least two so I have a backup. I don't find it adds any color at all, but enhances what I already have and is great to wear over a stain or lipstick to give a little extra kick.

Avant Garde and Culte have become two of my favorite lip colors and I've been wearing them quite a lot throughout the summer. For some reason they look a little warm in the pics, but on my lips they are cooler. This is a true feat because usually everything looks warm against my natural lip color. Avant Garde is a really beautiful, slightly shimmering neutral (beige with hint of peach?). Culte is a slight plummy rose with a hint of lavender. Culte is also really pretty as a stain, with a bit of balm or gloss on top. Cafe Makeup has more straight out of the tube, more true to color swatches here. 

These two lipsticks aren't dry, nor are they super hydrating. I'd say they are somewhere in the middle as far as moisture levels, but they do last many hours even without a lip pencil. I can wear them all day and feel completely comfortable!

Mostly I am so HAPPY these colors actually pull a little cool on me!! So much so that they area already on my repurchase list, and I've never repurchased a lipstick color - ever! If you have the same problems with your natural lip color making lippies too warm, you might give these two a try :-)
