Bobbi Brown Orange Lip Color ($22.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a vibrant shade of deep orange. This is orange without being neon, flashy, or so unnatural that it looks weird--this is an orange you can wear that looks and feels like...
Chanel Venus (#124) Glossimer ($27.00) is a dazzling shade of brightened rosy pink with iridescent fuchsia and gold sparkle. This shade, apparently, released last summer, but it's still available at Nordstrom (which means I'm...
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...

Though a smaller part of our Spring Season, we featured several softer shades of coral (don't worry, brighter corals are coming!). If there's anything these measly eight coral shades have told me... it's that I need to start hunting for some non-Guerlain...
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...
