NARS Gina Blush

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...

Cult Nails Happy Ending Nail Lacquer ($10.00 for 0.50 fl. oz.) contains shredded multi-colored flakes suspended in a clear base. There's aqua-blue, copper, gold, and lavender from what I can see--I swear I see a hint of green, but I think it might be the gold. I don't have...

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...

Burberry Blossom Light Glow Natural Blush

Burberry Blossom Blush ($42.00 for 0.24 oz.) is a coral-orange--there is the merest hint of pink in the background--with a natural finish, just a smidgen of a sheen. It's a lot like the just-reviewed MAC Supercontinental, which is barely...

Bobbi Brown Turquoise Nail Lacquer

Bobbi Brown Turquoise Nail Lacquer ($18.00 for 0.37 fl. oz.) is described as a "flat vibrant turquoise." It's a little bluer than what I think of when I hear "turquoise," but it's not a true blue--definitely a blue-teal. (Even if you google "turquoise," you'll see it varies...
