Jouer Cosmetics, Dusty Lipstick Swatch

I wrote about the Jouer Mad About Fall collection quite some time ago.  Just wanted to circle back with this image of Jouer’s Dusty lipstick. Isn’t it a beauty?  I’m a big fan of the trend for nude lip shades to be a bit darker, and Dusty is a new favorite among those nutmeg-y neutrals.
