I’ve been using Nars Audrey a lot lately! The colour is quite a bit darker than I usually go for but I really like the contrast with my skin and it still doesn’t feel too bold for everyday usage.

I agree..such a pretty fall shade! I have Touch of Spice and Rapture ( seems like a classic). I just got Air Kiss as I divulged in Free For Haul. Oh my, it is just so gorgeous and it feels like heaven on my lips. Thank you for that shade suggestion Christine! I think I may have to break down and get Sheer Beso soon. I am putting the Bite Buttercream on my wishlist for the Sephora sale. I love these little list because things like Rapture, which I haven’t used in a while, gets noticed , and pulled out of a dark drawer!

I really like Too Faced Shimmery Spice Spice Baby, too. I forgot about that one. It’s my husband’s favorite lipstick on me, actually. I like Bobbi Brown pot rouge in Blushed Rose, but I use it more on my cheeks than my lips.

Wow! Thank you for reminding me of that one! I heart Spice Spice Baby, both regular and the shimmery one. I need to hunt through my stash and find them. I’ve been neglecting my le creme’s, except pink chocolate. that one lives in my bag. Have you tried Lollipop? That’s a good one!

Rachel R.

Lolipop and Pink Chocolate are both on my wishlist. 🙂 I don’t have the original Spice Spice Baby, but I do have Cinnamon Kiss, which is another gorgeous warm plummy shade I forgot about. I also have Fuchsia Shock, and the three Shimmering ones that were out last holiday season.

Beautiful picks! I already own Maybelline Touch Of Spice and love how it looks! And 3 that are on my “to get” list are listed as well, so that just solidifies my resolve to get UD Sheer Beso and Rapture, and definitely Guerlain Air Kiss, too. All gorgeous!

Maybelline’s Touch of Spice is my absolute favorite drugstore lipstick. In fact Maybelline’s entire “the Buffs” collection is a winner. My favorite plum lippie is Mac’s Moody Bloom, a plummy brown with a golden sheen. 2nd runner up is Mac’s Primrose. Unfortunately both are LE, but dupable.

Lightest, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »

Guerlain Air Kiss is so dreamy! It lives in my purse kind of a lot.

YSL Rouge Volupte in Rose Infinite pulls very plum on me and is another favorite.

Revlon Goldpearl Plum is a nice drugstore option, as is Burt’s Bees lip shimmer in Fig. I’ve repurchased Burt’s Bees Fig more than any other drugstore lipstick, despite its very minty taste/smell!

Mariella
Very Light, Pink undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »

I need to get Maybelline’s Touch of Spice (the name doesn’t suggest “plum” at all! I’d never have even looked at it….). Top place for me, always, is MAC’s Plumful and also BITE Zin.

BonnieBBon

When I saw the title I got a flash of excitement ….this shade is my jam. But ….lol….I already have them all except the Bite. I can’t believe how often our favorites dovetail! Nars Audacious in Anna is my #1 top all time fav but idk if it belongs under plum. Kinda sorta maybe ? btw, thank you sooooo much for getting back to me. I appreciate the help very very much!!!
