Creme de la Femme lipstick is a pinky purple shade with gold warmth in it. It has a slight shimmer, since it is a frost finish, but not overly so.

Capricious lipstick is a plummy shade with just a touch of rose to make it interesting.

Up the Amp lipstick is a creamy, opaque purple with a bit of reddish-violet tones to it. This is a shade not for the faint of heart. It isn’t a light or lilac-y purple by any means!

Rebel lipstick is a dark, vampy purple shade with a smooth, creamy finish. Works really well with Vino lip liner!

Hang Up lipstick is a dark, creamy burgundy-purple that’s extremely pigmented and dramatic when worn.

Plumful lipstick is a sheer, lightly rose-tinged plummy shade. It’s runs a little warmer than cool for a plum shade, too.
