Burberry Hydrangea Pink and Coral Pink

I picked up both blushes from Burberry Spring in order to make sure that I still had a full set of Burberry blushes. The new releases from spring are called Hydrangea Pink (bright blue-based pink) and Coral pink (a warm bright-ish pink). Both have the same finely milled texture and easy blendability as the rest of the line. Both are great colors, but out of the two, I prefer Coral Pink as it is more versatile and flattering in my opinion.

Guerlain Lingerie de Peau and Parure Extreme 02

 A few months back I hauled 3 shades of Lingerie de Peau, as well as the lightest shade available for Parure Extreme, 02, at the time. Here are swatches, for the lightest 3 shades of Lingerie de Peau. My arm was about nc/nw20 at the time I swatched these.

01 and 31 are about the same depth, but 01 is neutral-pink, and 31 is very yellow. 02 would work well for those who are around NC 25. The same shade in Parure Extreme runs a bit darker and more yellow. I can't really comment on the performance of Extreme, as it was far too dark for me. My neck is currently about nc15, and I mix 31 with about a drop of 01 to get a good match. At NC20, I had to mix 31 and 02 to get a good match, although 02 was passable, albeit a bit dark. I'm generally pretty fond of this foundation; it wears well and photographs well, and does a decent job at evening out skintone, but I prefer Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua to it )Unfortunately, I'm too light to get a shade match in it now). Coverage is light-medium.

Lipstick Stash

 This is my stash of full sized lipsticks..I probably have a few minis floating around somewhere..but this is basically it. The two 24 lipstick holders are from Container Store. The smaller one is from Big Lots.

Here they are open..the first two pics are of the same ones..

Dior Addict Extremes are my 2nd favorite lipsticks.

Chanel Rouge Allures..my favorites...too bad they're getting Dc'ed

MAC lipsticks. Not my favorites, but they were what I started out with.

My Blush Stash--labeled

Some NOTDs: Konad, Muppets OPIs, etc

1 coat of OPI Going Gonzo! over 3 coats OPI Road House Blues

OPI Warm and Fozzie. 3 coats, very interesting multicolored foil.

1 coat of OPI Rainbow Connection over 3 coats of Orly Le Chateau. Rainbow connection takes some dabbing to get the amount of glitter you want. Orly Le Chateau is a very deep blue jellyish creme. It basically looks black after a couple of coats. It's opaque in 2 coats, but I usually use 3 coats for everything.
m57 over Ulta Acid Wash. Acid wash is a light blue with gold duochrome. The gold is prevalent on my nails irl and the result is a color that isn't quite gold or silver.

OPI Skull and Glossbones alone. I forget if this is 3 or 4 coats. It was a bit goopy to apply, but the color is beautiful.
With Konad and Out the Door Northern Lights
Orly Roccoco A-go-go. 3 coats, opaque in 2. Excellent formula, but it's not as cool on the nails as it is in the bottle. Still very lovely
OPI Wocka Wocka! 3 coats, but it's opaque in 2. It's a nice red, but nothing special.
Wocka Wocka! with Orly Prisma Gloss Gold on top.
Orly Androgynie. I used 3 coats. Very pretty black jelly with silver and gold glitter and multicolored hexes. I like it, but the bottle has to be closed and shaken up throughout the application.

Orly Fowl Play. 4 coats. It looks identical to OPI Merry Midnight, in the bottle, but for some reason I prefer the OPI.
