I was initially going to get Briar Rose Beauty Powder but backed out because it was way too cool and purple-ly for my skin tone. Oh So Fair seemed like it would show up on my face (Her Own Devices wouldn't even show up in a hand swatch) so it was really the only one I could get.
Oh So Fair is a pale petal pink with a slight sheen to it (not a bunch of shimmer and glitter.)
I did try this on my face and it gave me the slightest pink flush -I do think it'll show up more if I wear foundation or tinted moisturizer though (most blushes do.) Honestly, if this weren't "Disney", I wouldn't have wanted it but I told myself I needed at least one of the Beauty Powders. I have olive undertones and medium skin (that tans very easily in the sun) and this barely showed up on my so I wouldn't recommend this for someone who had very tan or deep skin.
I didn't want to get Innocence, Beware! Lipstick but when I swatched it a few weeks ago, I feel in love. I read that it was very drying so I tried to stay away but the color is so, so pretty.
Innocence, Beware! (Cremesheen) is light pinky nude.
MAC glosses aren't my favorite but I'll buy them if there's a must-have shade. I'm not fond of their sticky texture and they tend to make my lips a little dry.
Strange Potion Lipglass is a shimmery "tame" coral with a pink edge.
I really liked that the lipsticks and lipglasses came in LE sleeves -but they slapped on the Macy's sticker on the front!Swatches..

CVS..
I also stopped by CVS yesterday to buy some flowers and stopped to pick up 2 Revlon polishes -one in Peach Petal and one in Cotton Candy. Peach Petal is one of my favorites so I wanted to include it for an upcoming giveaway and I haven't tried Cotton Candy but grabbed it so I could make the $15 for my purchase (I had a $5 off $15 coupon.)
The Strange Potion Lipglass looks good.
ReplyDeleteWhat does the peach petal look like on your nails? Is it a peach color?
ReplyDelete@ Dhalia.. Yup! Definitely a shade that could work well with anyone.
ReplyDelete@ Anonymous.. I included a swatch in this post:

It's a creamy pastel peach with a hint of pink -just a really great neutral shade.
Loved this haul! I got strange potion for my roommate. She was supposed to go with me to the VV event, but she got sick, so I got her a little present! Peach Petal looks gorgeous! I want!
ReplyDelete@ PoorCollegeStudent.. Oh that's so sweet of you for getting her Strange Potion! I love Peach Petal -it's one of my favorites.
