The swatches aren't really representative of the colors, and that seems to be the opinion of most who know this product well.
That said, I got share 002 (Celeb Rose) and it is a gorgeous muted red on my fair to light, neutral leaning cool desaturated olive skin.
However, I'd warn ppl with my skin tone against 042 (Pinkish Nude). I assumed from the name it would run cool, but it's warm beige that just washed me out, totally unwearable.
That said, for as little as $6 on sale for a very vibrant selection of well-thought out colors (nudes galore, but brights as well, and a color matrix that is intended to tell you what might suit you based on your "season"), I'm definitely going back for more.
The colors feel very comfortable (assuming you've done lip prep) and the texture is unlike anything else I've used; my only real complaint is that these don't last as long as a traditional bullet lipstick without liner (tho some use them successfully over the long lasting "water tints").
Also, editors: I tried to review this on my cell and mistakenly gave it 3 stars, and was unable to change that vote -- my intention was 4. Please feel free to remove that vote.
And I would LOVE to see some reviews of AB color cosmetics: in addition to Peripera, Rom&nd is well-regarded.
