maybelline spring 2013 fashion week color sensational gloss in fiercely fuschia.

    Oh my goodness I adore this color! You need this..now! What a gorgeous fuchsia and extremely wearable. This coverage is sheer to medium and the gloss itself is silky and moisturizing. The color reminds me of the shade Jouer produced for Birch Box but it's much warmer and more flattering for warm skin tones  I like this so much I'm buying a back-up tomorrow. And on to pictures..

   See how it doesn't look crazy or neon? It's not too bright and I adore it. Yay for a random, awesome score!!

maybelline limited edition spring 2013 fashion week blush swatches.

   So I randomly walked into my Walgreen's to grab polish remover and, out of nowhere, the Maybelline Spring 2013 Fashion Week display was up! Squee!! I first saw this on http://nouveaucheap.blogspot.com/2013/02/spotted-maybelline-limited-edition.html and was so excited. I hunted down the same blushes last year so, of course, I grabbed all three.

l'oreal colour riche caresse wet shine stain in endless red.

    L'Oreal Colour Riche Caresse Wet Shine Stain in Endless Red (190)..quite the mouthful no? This is marketed as a moisturizing, long-lasting stain gloss. Cool idea and cool product but I wouldn't call this a gloss. It is shiny upon application but that wears of quickly leaving a sheer to medium coverage stain behind. The good news? I did find it moisturizing and that is rare with stains. I loved this color and I do want to try others from the line and see how they stack up pigment wise. 

   Ok onto swatches...

mac stereo rose msf vs. milani rose d' oro.

    So when I orignally posted about Milani's baked blush in Rose d' Oro I had mentioned it may be a dupe for the infamous MAC Mineralize Skin Finish in Stereo Rose. At the time I didn't have the latter but when it was re-released in the Apres Chic collection, naturally, I pounced on it. So are they dupes?
