Already owned it; but was crazily looking for Sultry here in India after catching it on a pink-must-haves video. My search has ended... Thank you!

And gorgeous, I mean!--just that I also own Touch of Spice, and on me it's definitely a lighter rosy brown.<br /><br />That said, I totally feel you on the 'two colors with a hair's width of difference looking completely different on your actual face' thing. I once had a lipstick that to my eyes washed me out, and at first I thought I was just being a drama queen and looking for an excuse to buy more lipstick--but then I got one that was just a tad darker and it was absolutely perfect.

But I can't smell it after it's been applied, so I don't really mind. Maybe yellow is the problem? Yellowish-orange lipsticks usually don't work on me. I'm having a hard time seeing yellow in the swatch, though. So confusing!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02075243940219740263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241080681767360438.post-89832108883219025212016-05-01T08:46:40.107-07:002016-05-01T08:46:40.107-07:00I chose Touch of Spice between the two (I was awar...I chose Touch of Spice between the two (I was aware that they were almost-dupes) because it was a bit more brown and I have enough rosy-red lipsticks but no brown ones. I really like it, and the slightly more subdued colour makes it semi-natural. Mine also smells vaguely like vanilla, even though I always though Maybelline lipsticks smelt like plastic!<br /><br />I think that the bit of grey in Touch of Spice makes it more flattering on you. IS it just me or is Sultry a bit yellower, is that the reason why it makes you look sickly?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02549904797508920577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241080681767360438.post-67945045792736703492016-04-30T17:36:47.875-07:002016-04-30T17:36:47.875-07:00Yes, you were definitely one of the ones making me...Yes, you were definitely one of the ones making me covet Sultry! Normally it's a good thing when my photos look more flattering than reality, but I think here it fails to convey my point haha.<br /><br />The hair here was practice wedding hair. I like the waves too, but my hair is so stubbornly straight that it takes a lot of work just for this. I have to sleep in soft curlers and ALSO curl it with a wand. Normally I am way too lazy for that.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02075243940219740263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241080681767360438.post-72763507151116457032016-04-30T17:23:30.534-07:002016-04-30T17:23:30.534-07:00I'm one of the Sultry people and often thought...I'm one of the Sultry people and often thought of getting Touch of Spice as well! But I can't stand the smell of Maybelline lipsticks, so that was that.<br /><br />I think both look great on you and it's hard to tell the difference on the face. Also, loving the waves in your hair!
