january/november; march/august/june
september/december; february/july/ocotober/april/may
january: deep burgandy
[note: this is the original release, not the reformulation. things happened, and i didn't actually get the reformulated one when they sent them out.]
this is a really rich brown-red shade. i liked how it looked on the lips, but it's not a shade that really makes me think of january....
compared to november, this is more red.
february: japanese eggplant
this is such a gorgeous pinky purple, and it does look pretty close to japanese eggplant color! i really enjoyed wearing this shade.
compared to july, this is more berry..if that makes sense..?

march: chilly pepper
this is a really nice orangy red. i think this is probably as orange as i'd go.
compared to august, this is more red.

april: dragon fruit
this is so pretty! i'm not totally sure how much i like it on me, but it's definitely reminiscent of dragon fruit flesh!
compared to the reds and purples, this is more magenta - bright pink.

may: lavender thistle
this one was interesting. i honestly wasn't sure if i'd like it, but i ended up LOVING it. it neutralized how pigmented my lips are and wore as a nice pinky-lilac nude.
compared to the other purples in this set, this is a very lilac shade. it's slightly more sheer than the rest, but still can build up very nicely.

june: mango daiquiri
this is such a pretty coral! i'm not huge into shades of red or orange and this is really nice!
compared to march and august, this is more peachy-coral.

july: snapdragon
i feel like this one's a great shade too. it's slightly out of my comfort zone, but close enough to it that i'm comfortable wearing it.
compared to february, this is more pink.

august: sweet mandarin
i honestly don't think that this one is really my cup of tea... it's a very bold orangy-red, and i don't feel like i can pull it off too well.
compared to march, this is more orange.

september: spiced apple
i've said this time and time again: i am not a red person. BUT. OMG. this one is perfect. the shade is very reminiscent of fresh cherries and it's beautiful!
compared to december, this is more blue-toned.

october: boisenberry
this was appropriately timed for halloween. such a great color. it'd definitely look great on darker skintones.
compared to the other purples, this is more of a true purple.

november: swiss chocolate
i can't explain it..inner 90s kid, perhaps? but i love it! ..and i love scaring the husband! ^_____^
compared to january, this is a true milk chocolate brown.

december: sugar plum
this is very winter party appropriate (especially the timing). i think i lean more toward the september shade in comparison to this one, but it's still a great pinky red.
compared to september, this leans more pink.

of the bunch, may (lavender thistle) and september (spiced apple) are my absolute favorites. i haven't worn any of the others enough to fully pass judgment on them all, but we'll have to see. hope you enjoyed this post if you were considering any of these!
