is curtsy usually that pale or is that the lipglass thats making it like that? i can’t decide which lipsticks to buy >.< it is so hard to make decisions using internet product photos but this website helps me soooo much…i look up a product to see if youve used it!

anyway…i’m kind of between thrills, curtsy or twig twig. i know they arent really alike but i only have enough dinero for one…which do you like? if it helps i am very pale skinned with brown hair

Hey Sara! Lightswitch 3D Glass DEFINITELY makes Curtsy look lighter. If you are looking for more of a neutral/lighter lip color, Twig Twig is probably perfect, because it goes on sheerly. Thrills is a pop of color, and Curtsy is semi-sheer, but it does have some color to it.

This is my hands down favorite look on you. Now if only I could find MY hands down favorite look for me LOL 😀 Your pics are such an inspiration, they give me so many ideas. Keep up the great work.

absolutely loooooove this look. it’s definitely a sexier version of the ‘natural’ look. i think it’s something you can wear to go to a regular ol’ pub and you’d be the hottest one there, but in a subtle manner, if that makes any sense.. hah!
