This combination is lovely. Karen, you’re the one who got me onto cremestick liners. They really are great for when your lips are feeling drier, and the color range is very pretty. I’ve got Sublime Culture, and I’ll see if I can find a shimmery lipgloss to layer over it to make something similar to what you’ve got going on here. You look fantastic!
Yay! I’m so glad you like them. What color is your fave? I absolutely love Ginger Root, so of course, it’s discontinued, LOL! I have one last stick that I save for special occasions. I know, so cheesy.
Sublime Culture is probably my favorite because it’s the most versatile considering the kind of lip colors I like to wear when I want my lips to look more neutral. However, I have Beurre, Summerfruit, and Pink Treat, and I love all of them, too. Those four cover most of the color families I really enjoy for lips (rose, plum, peach, and blue-based pinks).
Very chic! I never wear lip gloss, but I got one free in the mail this week from a Smashbox Facebook contest, so I’ve been wearing it. It might grow on me.
Beautful combo… i love Sublime Culture ! And paired with that gloss, its just perfect…. BTW, the D&G Desert lipstick is one of the most flattering and awesome colors you ve ever worn!
Have a nice rest of the week, Karen!
Ha ha ha! Ok I just read through the comments. Seems we ALL want your sweater! Maybe you need a side fashion blog. You might need to recruit Tabs to handle the extra work.
Marla says
That lipgloss color is so pretty. Does it feel sticky or tacky like some, and how is the scent?
Karen says

You’re so right about them being lovely together! Must get a liner like this ASAP!
Appu says
I love Sublime Culture! Usually pair it with MAC’s Ample Pink Plushglass or Bobbi Brown’s Pink Buff Gloss 🙂
Karen says
Hi Appu,
LOVE it with Ample Pink. Have you ever tried it with MAC Big Baby? That’s a great combo, too.
Melissa says
Those colors are perfect together. They go lovely with your blush too. What blush are you wearing?
Karen says
Hi Melissa,
I’m wearing Becca Beach Tint in Lychee topped with Becca Mineral Blush in Flowerchild.
