Liked the look of these on the advert. Anyone got one yet? I have dark hair and quite dark skin so which of the brunette ones is best?

oy sugarplum people are you brunettes

because I am (with olive skin) and I like the look of the braisin one or would sugarplum be better

I've got the Clinique Airbrush concealer & I do love it.

I'm vvvv pale with big shadows & it has great coverage without looking like I've caked concealer on.

I have dark hair (apart from my straggly greys) and quite dark skin, green eyes and black eye bags.

ooh good, Shona, thanks. I specifically asked for something low maintenance as am not very good at blending etc. Sounds like it'll be good then

yes Cod, mumsnet habit is costing me. Good though as seem to need more than usual bossing around nowadays. Find it much harder to make clothing/ appearance decisions.

You will all be proud. I am wearing my eye concealer, tintied moisturiser, mascara and new sugarplum lip gloss, didn't even need any bronzer stuff as look soooooooooo much healthier. It doesn't really look like I've got make up on and the eye bags are really reduced. HURRAH!

What's so good about the sugar plum lippy and what do people think of the L'Oreal one?

I am pale with Blonde/Red (also know as strawberry blonde) hair. Although I notice it is less red as I get older and more honey.

I have both the Sugar Plum gloss and the Brasin one. Pref the sugar plum though as the brasin is quite dark. I am mousey though. For nude lippy I like my Clinique one in Nude Splurge.

OrvilleRedenbacher · 29/03/2007 13:43

i also have a lip plumping one in a pum shade
nto as good

Tinkerdumpsandruns · 29/03/2007 19:07

Right, went into JL and tried the Sugar Plum on teh back of my hand. Was a little alarmed that I could see my refelction in the gloss. Couldn't buy it.

OrvilleRedenbacher · 29/03/2007 19:34

WHY WHY WHY
did oyu nto tyr it on your lips?
you dont wear lisptick onyour hand
oh no

Tinkerdumpsandruns · 29/03/2007 22:03

But I try loads of shades. I'd look like I'd been punched if I kept trying thme on my lips and then removing them. Anyway, I'm not convinced it's the right shade

deaconblue · 30/03/2007 10:32

It's not very glossy (as in sticky shiny) when it's on the lips at all. Just makes your lips look rosier than normal IYKWIM

Enid - black tube, slightly pearly? If so might be Moisture Drench, No. 25, Highland Mist. It's the only No 7 I've got.

Enid · 30/03/2007 11:27

silver tube, no hint of pearl, glossy
