The Rose Cheek Color in "400" consists of four different shades of pink, they are meant to be swirled together to create a three dimensional cheek color. The powder is finely milled and very pigmented, so a little goes a long way. The combination of the four shades is a warm bright rosy pink, super pretty and doll-like. The color lasts very well through the day too, so all the more reason to love this blush!

Packaging:
Behold the fanciest lipstick packaging ever! Sculpted in translucent black plastic, the lipstick tube resembles a shooting star. The lipstick itself is also shaped like a star, hmm hmm, that's right, a star!

Each Lipstick M is a blend of two colors in a special marble pattern, it's designed this way so that the color varies each time you apply it. "770" features a mixture of sheer pink and warm golden shimmers. Because the pink is so sheer, I mostly get only gold shimmers. which looks cool on its own but would look even cooler dabbed over the center of a bold red lip. The formulation is very rich thanks to the grape, olive, safflower oils. The wear is around four or five hours as the shimmers really like to stick around.
Overall:
Just look at that packaging! Even if you aren't a fan of makeup these are worth getting just as decorative elements for the house (because they are that precious)! The blush is pigmented and soft and the lipstick is very moisturizing. You've outdone yourself again Anna, two thumbs up!
Availability:
The collection will be available starting October at selected Shoppers, Murale, and The Bay.
