Initially, I wasn’t sure about this kit. Two warmer lip colors (which generally speaking are not the best shades on me), one clear/iridescent, and one cooler lip color? No. I love buxoms, and prefer minis to fullsize (so that I can try more colors, of course); but the makeup of this kit was too close to the Winter Escapade kit released just six months before this one, but with a generally warmer palette. So…no. I don’t know what changed my mind, but I’m glad I finally did get these colors.

Denise is nearly invisible on me. It’s a cool pink, and it’s pretty enough. It just has less sparkle than April, and less pigmentation than Zena. I don’t know if I’ll use this color much. I want to make it work for me, because it is a pretty, cooler pink.
The first picture below has this over Vienna lip pencil (left half of image) and by itself (right half of image). Even the swatch is barely colored at all. Maybe I can use this to tone down Fresno without adding sparkle or completely losing the color…?
