Tarte Blissful Amazonian Clay Blush

Tarte Blissful Amazonian Clay Blus ($25.00 for 0.20 oz.) is described as a "warm peach," but it's more like an intense coral-pink on me! It's more pink than coral, but it's not truly pink. The brightness and strength of the pink will make it a wearable coral even on cooler...

NARS Flamenco Lipstick ($24.00 for 0.12 oz.) is described as a "sheer candy apple red." It's a faded watermelon red. Milani Bing Cherry is a bit more vibrant and redder but similar. It is very close to Guerlain Grenade with less of a creamy finish.
