Lip Combo: Playing with Seashell

Another warm lip combo featuring a nice drugstore lipstick- My lips are quite red and have a profound purple undertone so they have a tendency to turn a sheer coral into a baby pink or turn a medium red into Cherry that I found that it's better to layer 2 different warm lip products if I want to get the perfect peachy pout. Anyway, I start with a sheer coral gloss from Sally Hansen (I have yet to get a Sally Hansen gloss that's not sheer.)I have a love/hate relationship with this gloss named playful. I love the vanilla scent, the creamy gel texture, the soft coral color it has and the fact that it fills up the tiny lip lines (instead of inflating the whole thing up), giving a plump appearance. At the same time, the color pay-off is quite poor (or my lips are too red?) for the pretty shimmer to actually show and plumping gloss are that flattering on me. Anyway, the gloss is a perfect base for another Sally Hansen Lipstick. Sea Shell Nude has an awesome creamy texture but the chocolate brown color can be a bit too strong unless you are heading the "serious business woman" route. If you have a favorite lip color that you find too dark for day time, use it on top of a gloss in the same color family (i.e. warm color plus warm color) might give you the best of both worlds.
