NARS Gina Blush ($28.00 for 0.16 oz.) is described as a "true tangerine." It's a softened orange with a satiny sheen. It's not vibrant, not an intense orange, but it's much more orange and richer than peach (hm, I am amused that all descriptions are fruit-related!). This is...

Chanel Riviere Illusion d'Ombre Long-Wear Cream Eyeshadow

Chanel Riviere Illusion d'Ombre Long-Wear Cream Eyeshadow ($36.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a pale shimmering green with subtle golden shimmer. A warmer, seafoam green, if you will. I couldn't think of any shades that really were that similar. Urban Decay Money is darker, bluer. MAC...
