Korres #18 Peach Mango Butter Lipstick ($18.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a semi-vibrant darkened rose with gold shimmer and a glossy sheen. I don't have any idea why it's named "Peach," because there isn't anything peach about it. In...
Illamasqua Frenzy Intense Lipgloss ($19.00 of 0.20 oz.) is a fierce, ultra-pigmented hot pink lipgloss. Illamasqua is totally on the money when they named this lipgloss of theirs--INTENSE! is the word for sure....
Guerlain Giuliana Rouge G Lipstick
Guerlain Giuliana (#42) Rouge G Lipstick ($45.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a brilliant shade of orange-coral. It's almost all orange, but it's not quite a full-blown orange. This was definitely a love-at-first-swatch...
Urban Decay Peroxide Lipstick ($22.00 for 0.13 oz.) is an icy champagne shimmered yellow pink. When I swatched it on my arm, it had a glossy look to it, but on my lips, it looked less glossy and more shimmery/frosty. ...

Shiseido PK 327 Perfect Rouge Sheer Lip Color
Shiseido PK 327 Perfect Rouge Sheer Lip Color ($25.00) is a soft, sheered rosy pink with a very glossy finish and subtle color. On me, it really enhances the natural rosiness of my lips and...
Did you know that it's easier to swatch multiple lipsticks at once than lipglosses? Who knew! Let's take a look back at the lipglosses featured in the Spring Season...
The closest dupe to #4 (Cle de Peau #2) is #3 (Chanel Pin-up), but it's not quite as pigmented or...
Shiseido Pop Life (PK 406) Luminizing Lip Gloss ($22.00 for 0.25 oz.) is a very milky, creamy pale blue-pink that applies with some color coverage, but it has the translucent look of milkier lipglosses. It has a...
I'm actually surprised by the volume of warmer-toned pinks featured in the Spring Season. I always thought finding the right warm pink was difficult, but perhaps not!
