I've liked Givenchy foundations in the past and when I tried the testers for this one in the store; the product did feel very light and moisturizing while giving a really nice finish. <br />

So this item isn't my first metal cushion. The first one I tried was by the Korean brand VDL. It stood out in the sea of cushions because of the metal plate which felt more hygienic than the foam cushion and it does give a pleasant cooling effect when you apply the product. The second version that I tried was by another Korean brand SU:M37 which I purchased mainly because the casing was really pretty.<br />

Now how does the Givenchy compare to these metal cushions? Structurally the compacts are pretty much the same even though the Givenchy one is made in France while the other 2 are made in Korea. A relevant note on cushion compacts (metal or foam): the inner cushion part are usually meant to pop out and be replaced after a certain period of time. Korean cushions often come with a filled case and an additional refill. The Givenchy even with the high price tag - does not come with a refill and none are available for sale. However, the cushion does pop out and does fit in the other metal cushion casings and vice versa. <br />

As much as I liked the finish and feel of the Givenchy cushion foundation I ended up returning it because none of the 6 shade offerings seem to work for me. I picked up 4 Fresh Beige which ended up being quite pink once I applied it to my face. No. 3 Fresh Sand seemed to be a bit more yellow/neutral but too light and 5 Fresh Honey was definitely too deep. For comparison, here is the Givenchy swatched against the Korean cushions which are also limited in how well they match my skintone but I work with it. Once I had done these swatches; I didn't realize before now deep the Givenchy shade appeared to be especially against the other shades - Sephora does seem to have tricky lighting....<br />

Overall, I was disappointed that the shades for the Givenchy Teint Couture Cushion didn't work for me (although wallet was happy) even though the formula seem really nice. It did give a lovely blurring effect and natural finish. The Korean cushions may not have as appealing formula and texture (the foundations are a bit thicker and do have a dewier finish) but for half the price and twice as much product - they are pretty good. I hope that Givenchy will eventually expand their shade offerings and provide the opportunity to purchase just refills then this product will definitely have the appeal for me to throw my money at it once again.Jennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11286688225358324147noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1445453475035265337.post-86300730208477186462016-04-05T00:45:00.000-04:002016-04-05T00:45:29.131-04:00Missha x Line Friends - Tension Blusher Cushion, Jelly Tint, Tint Remover and Dual Blending Cushion Eyeshadow<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The other adorable collection that caught my eye is the Missha x Line Friends collaboration. Line is another mobile communications app with popular sticker characters that have popped on on a variety of merchandise. Missha came out with a collection earlier this year but as much as I liked the packaging; I didn't think I would use the items much. Last month, the product line was expanded and I decided to get my hands on some goods.<br />

I purchased the Tension Blusher in CR02 Rose Dress, Jelly Tint in Maple Latte, Dual Blending Cushion Eyeshadow in London Trip and the Lip Tint Remover. The mug pictured was an add on item with my purchase for a small price.<br />
<br />
In the earlier releases, there were face cushions released with a similar Brown (name of the character) case. I figured the shades would be too light for me so I resisted ordering. So I was glad to see the Tension blushers released since the compact is so cute. It looks very similar to a standard face cushion however it is smaller and the inside has a mesh that goes over the product so you dab the puff on that instead of direct contact with a sponge. I'm guessing it's a means of keeping the product contained since the blush is a thin liquid. CR02 Rose Dress is a natural looking deep pink that give a nice flush.<br />

The next new addition to this collaboration is the Jelly Tint. It's a pretty opaque liquid tint. I was mainly interested in the Maple Latte color because it wasn't the standard red, pink, orange shades that are usually released. It's a lovely muted dark rose color. The tint remover is a clear liquid gel that comes in a pump bottle. I did one pump, applied the gel and wiped off the product. It did seem to work well without drying my lips.<br />

The last item I ordered was the Dual Blending Cushion Eye shadow. The shade London Trip has a light bronze color on one end and a dark shimmery brown on the other end. The product goes on smoothly and last well with a primer. <br />

In case you're wondering - Kakao is a South Korean Internet company that offers a variety of services. The most popular being Kakao talk - a free messaging service. The Kakao friends are characters in the app and help to liven up your messages. Each one has a different personality, which you can read about <a href="https://www.90daykorean.com/kakaotalk-friends/" target="_blank">here</a>. The most prominent one in this collaboration is Muzi- a radish dressed up as a bunny. I love bunnies so I couldn't resist getting a few pieces. <br />

A big focus for this collection is suncare. The baby sun cushion has SPF34 PA++ and ingredients that are gentle enough for a baby's skin including organic Sunflower Sprout Extract and a Mineral UV filter. It can also be washed off with water. I primarily got this for the adorable case which is matte and the design is printed on (not a sticker). It is re-fillable once the sunscreen runs out and I discovered that it is compatible with iope cushion refills. </div>

The other suncare item I ordered was the photogenic sun blur which has SPF50+ PA+++ and promises to brighten your skintone and give a soft-focus effect. I was looking to see if this would be a suitable primer under foundations and it seems to work. It does deliver a brightening/smoothing effect. One negative is that it does have a fairly heavy scent - reminds me of a shampoo - maybe pert plus?<br />

There were also some Melting Color Lip Creamer (what a name) shades released. I picked 10 Fresh Muzi (bright orange) and 12 Cute Frodo (peach). They are pretty pigmented and have a hydrating lip balm texture and contains sugar so it will "melt" on your lips.<br />

The last item I got from this collection were the sheet masks. They are sold individually or in a box of five (one of each character). I got the box of five and these masks are a bit scary because they do have the character faces printed on the sheet. I had received 2 bonus masks - Frodo (Olive - Moisturizing) and Neo (Blueberry - Resilience) and tested both out. They were ok masks but they were more novelty than anything else.</div>

It's a cute collection and I think all the products are pretty solid. I do wonder if this was a one-off collab or it will be expanded in future seasons. It would be nice to see a regular cushion or other lip products (personal fave is the ink lipquids). Other types of items in this current collection are concealers, eye shadow palettes and purfume. Hope you liked this post; it's been ages since my last entry but I wanted to share some pics/info on these since they are still pretty new and my next post will be about another cute collaboration that was released last month as well- stay tuned!</div>

You try to see what options are available online. You come upon a site that will take in make up items, give you an offer in cash or store credit (with a bonus amount) and you think that it's exactly what you need to purge and clean up/out your collection.<br />
<br />
The first time I used glambot to get rid of my items. I got a pretty great offer (over $300) for my lot of probably close to 50 items of mostly high range items (Chanel, Dior etc.). My next offer was around $250 - ok, I thought it was probably because I sent a lot with more mid range items (Mac, Lorac etc.). Subsequently, my next offer was even lower. It took forever for my parcel to be processed (over a month and a half). I was being patient since it was getting close to holiday time) but it was hard to get a response from customer service to check the status. Another instance, when I finally received an offer, I was told xyz brand was not accepted even though I found items from those brand available for purchase and text that cited they would take any brand with items being sold through their website. I was able to receive a slightly better revised offer with some pushing. <br />
<br />
My most recent experiences will probably be my last since the offers have been very meh but hey, I need to more space in my apt and items need a better home (hopefully) so I've accepted them instead of dealing with having items returned (which you will have to pay back shipping for). I have read stories of equally low balled amounts for items so I feel better know others have been in the same boat.<br />
<br />
Glambot has been faster in their processing so I will give them that credit but I definitely question their fairness in deciding what offer will be given. I've asked them for more feedback and clarification in the past to understand my low(er) offers and have been brushed off. It would be nice to know if only x out of y items were accepted or something concrete like that to base the offers on. I was told that "desirability" was one of the main factors in establishing the offer amounts which leads to a lot of grey for them to use. Maybe, they've gotten more popular so they don't "desire" the items I'm sending since they have items from other people? It's also a bummer that on the site, if you are a buyer - you only see a stock photo rather than the actual item you are purchasing. I think in the beginning it use to be an actual picture. No purchasing from me, but that is another point that makes me wary with this company. So that's been my experience. I'm glad I was able to downsize my collection but moving forward, I will find other sites to use or will try to go back to posting on my own page.

did a quick search on eBay and spotted a listing for a palette but I
thought the price was a bit high. I did a search on Gmarket and found
much more reasonable prices so I decided to get over my Gmarket hesitations
and placed an order.<br />
<br />
The palette was larger than I expected; each pan is about the same as the Mac Pro Longwear eyeshadow pans. There are 2 rows of powder eyeshadows and one row of lip/cheek cream colors.<br />

The eyeshadows have a nice soft texture and go on fairly smooth although there is a bit of kick up when dabbing with a brush. When applied over primer, the colors last close to a full day with just minimal fading. I've only used the lip/cheek colors on the lips and they have nice pigmentation. They aren't the most moisturizing so I would suggest using a lip balm underneath. To see the palette in action, here are 2 looks from Jung Saem Mool's channel - <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfSNQHvmqVs" target="_blank">Look 1</a>, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iv9hGOL-Feg" target="_blank">Look 2</a>; I do believe that these are the same looks that are shown in the leaflet. </div>

So *cough* these items were purchased last year. MÜLE is the beauty brand from Jung Saem Mool, a popular Korean make-up artist. I had discovered her <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/jungsaemmool" target="_blank">youtube channel</a> and liked the tutorials that were posted but I had not realized she had released a make-up line till a few other bloggers were tweeting about some of the items. I visited the channel to see what they were talking about and the items piqued my interest. I was still fearful of using gmarket at the time so I ordered a set from evil-bay that included the Artist Essential Primer, Artist Correcealer Balm in Shade 02, Artist Curve Brush & Puff and Moist Fixing Powder.<br />

Shade 02 has a peach face color and a foundation shade (I'm
guessing suitable to about NC30). The foundation has a consistency similar to Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua but has a heavier feel to it. I found the foundation balm to be a
bit light for my skin tone and the undertone was a bit off. I can wear
this shade during winter months but the color match is so so. I will try
to update with a swatch.</div>

The brushes were the most anticipated items from the set. The brush is very soft and dense and works well with liquid and cream foundations. The puff is nice with cream blushes and I like the option of not having to apply blush with my fingers. </div>

A setting powder with pearl particles. Gives a nice soft finish when applied. The puff is designed to emulate a fingertip and you apply the powder in dabbing motions to the face. The top does crew off so you can use a brush if you prefer. This powder reminded me of the Mac Magically Cool Liquid Powder from the Disney Villains Collection.</div>

I had purchased the Laura's Colour Favorites set at Bergdorfs awhile ago and more recently, I ordered the Signature Colour Trend set through the saksfifthavenue website. The mini eye shadows are adorable and the caviar eye liners are one of my favorite Laura Mercier products so I am pretty pleased with both sets.<br />

I had ordered the Miss Candy infallibles (Naughty Strawberry, Sassy Marshmallow and Innocent Turquoise) from Feelunique.com; however, I believe that they have stopped shipping L'oreal products outside of EU :( <br />
<br />
I've spotted the other infallibles in a variety of drugstores. I had skipped the earlier US summer releases since they had seem similar to infallibles that I had owned. <br />

Since these 2 were dupes. I figured that Gold Imperial would be the dupe of Goldmine and Pink Sapphire would be the dupe of Forever Pink. I've recently received the infallibles from the L'or Electric collection that was released in Europe/Asia-hope to have pics posted soon....It's rough keeping up with all the new infallible shades being released but I'm glad this line is expanding in some fab colors. </div>Jennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11286688225358324147noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1445453475035265337.post-83019727232441593952012-02-28T01:12:00.001-05:002013-12-31T04:28:56.805-05:00Les Merveilleuses Ladurée Cheek and Lip productsHello! Part of my blogging absence has been due to a vacation to Tokyo! I came back and endured a few days of jet lag. I've finally gotten myself together to share one of my major beauty acquisitions while in Japan.<br />
<br />
Les Merveilleuses Ladurée debut in late January with only one counter located in the Misukoshi Department Store in the Ginza area of Tokyo. The parent company for this line is Albion which is also the parent of Paul and Joe Beauté and Sonia Rykiel Beauté. The packaging for this beauty collection is sublime and fitting with the famed Parisian macaron maker.<br />

One of the more intriguing products is the Face Color Rose Ladurée Cheek Color. This item is composed of silk (?) rose petals coated in a colored powder. I bought color o1. The petals are sold separately from the blush holder.<br />

I have not tried out the "fresh" petals so there are no swatches in this post for this item.<br />
<br />
The other cheek item I purchased was the Pressed Cheek Color in 02. The pigmentation in these cheek colors were definitely stronger than the Rose Petal blushes.<br />

Sorry for lack of a swatch, the sun was setting and I was running out of time. I've worn this blush a few times now and have found it to be lovely. I hope to pick up more when this collection reaches American shores. I've read the estimated time frame is sometime in 2013 :/<br />
<br />
The last item(s) I have to share are the lip rouges. They have a soft lipstick feel and subtle shine. I picked up 04 (mauve pink) and 05 (light carmel nude). The Rouges have a Cameo charm on them and have a twist up mechanism. A caveat is that the lip color can be turned up but cannot retract so you will need to be careful how much product is pushed up.<br />

It is worth noting that the US infallibles are made in the US, while the international ones have been made in Italy. But from what I can tell, Perpetual Purple (US) is the same as Purple Obsession (Int.) while Golden Sage (US) is the same as Permanent Kaki (Int). The US versions do seem a smidgen darker which may be due to a different formula(?).<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgD4SqEegFQK1PGCbLZOAj2L3Q4ksLDUAutRFyJPtcZEUvteyFitvAX80XUjzp2Qvs_OfEEhGazeC8wVQ-JqqTcbzRHGjLCEdEWx5jF5s7EnlGjMa2Pf0b1M3hYwj1rjwo85NfdFyuB2No/s1600/infalliable8.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 226px; height: 288px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgD4SqEegFQK1PGCbLZOAj2L3Q4ksLDUAutRFyJPtcZEUvteyFitvAX80XUjzp2Qvs_OfEEhGazeC8wVQ-JqqTcbzRHGjLCEdEWx5jF5s7EnlGjMa2Pf0b1M3hYwj1rjwo85NfdFyuB2No/s320/infalliable8.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5682482110097757074" border="0" /></a><br />Left are the international infallibles; Right are the US infallibles<br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">I'm glad that the L'oréal infallible eye shadows have finally made it here, although it is quite confusing that some colors been re-named from the international releases.

The Kudoki Kabuki Lip set contains 3 lip colors (Botan, Takebue, and Ougi) vs 2 colors (Sakura and Maiko) in the Bento Box set. The exterior packaging is similar with the lacquer wooden box and the same kabuki lip brush is included in each set.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjszke7Aiqf8jGv4HMNb6FnKMHR6gA4pwvjoS6R9ozDWKd84t1X2j4Tt1hWOT8YFWQ2Ye2J8gqh6gE08RQTa9VnmaVz0Q_IVXtcYrJLf5N8dZZfeZOnHVWj0FvYCZWOHj8WffApPqiYmj0/s1600/kubuki2.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer;

The quality of the lip colors were similar~very pigmented with a soft creamy feel. They are not the most moisturizing and since my lips tend to be a bit dry, I do like to prep with a balm before applying these colors. The shades in the Kudoki Kabuki set do seem to have a touch of shimmer to them when you look at the bowls but the shimmer does not show up when swatched. The Kudoki Kabuki set is currently available at online at <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/nars-kudoki-kabuki-lip-set/3232783">Nordstrom</a>.<br /></div></div>Jennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11286688225358324147noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1445453475035265337.post-75337937957222157492011-10-31T23:28:00.000-04:002011-10-31T23:28:52.897-04:00Nars Kudoki Kabuki Lip Set-Preview picI didn't get a chance to organize all the pics for the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Nars</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Kudoki</span> Kabuki Lip Set....so just a preview pic for now~<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDlUTtkL4-5qh1PJyHdimTBHcflpIIKGF3KiRY8e4stxEjKb3y5vF4SxdVBQ52TBYPyj5zm8MlUHBIHSl0ybdwU72If8vHuD41m7y1aw8Id5c5YhtRRDSBzEdtwr_gh2pVKYzTZfdGFgM/s1600/kabuki2011-1.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 217px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDlUTtkL4-5qh1PJyHdimTBHcflpIIKGF3KiRY8e4stxEjKb3y5vF4SxdVBQ52TBYPyj5zm8MlUHBIHSl0ybdwU72If8vHuD41m7y1aw8Id5c5YhtRRDSBzEdtwr_gh2pVKYzTZfdGFgM/s400/kabuki2011-1.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5669863390367449506" border="0" /></a><br /><br />More to come....<br /></div>Jennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11286688225358324147noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1445453475035265337.post-68431775973408410362011-10-25T22:41:00.000-04:002011-10-25T22:42:07.958-04:00Nars Holiday Gift Set - Mie and HanamichiI couldn't wait for the Nars Holiday sets to start arriving.

The Hanamichi palette has a gorgeous presentation but I'm still trying to figure out how to maximize use of a red shadow, although for now I'll just enjoy the prettiness :)<br /></div></div>Jennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11286688225358324147noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1445453475035265337.post-15167772575619998122011-10-25T22:00:00.001-04:002011-10-25T22:42:26.452-04:00Nars Holiday 2011-Color CollectionHere are items from Nars Holiday Color collection.

I'm still undecided about this duo. The shadows felt smooth but color payoff was a bit iffy. I'll have to play with it more and test it with some primer :)<br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">So, the cream shadow, eyeliners and multiple were hits for me but the trio and duo haven't quite won me over. I wished the trio wasn't black based and showed up as the pan color. I'm also debating on the Joyous Red lip color. I'm normally not a red lip wearer but I liked that it fell on the more warm brick vibe which I think I could pull off more easily for daytime. All items are now available on sephora.com and narscosmetics.com and I've spotted them in store at various counters too.<br /></div></div>Jennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11286688225358324147noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1445453475035265337.post-12755210572346281662011-10-06T01:32:00.000-04:002011-10-06T01:32:37.455-04:00Chanel Holiday 2011-A few product picsI got the chance to meet with the lovely <a href="http://macnunu.com/"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Macnunu</span></a> and <a href="http://http//sakuralovely.wordpress.com/"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Asiyakei</span></a> today.

All the colors were smooth and soft. I had been contemplating getting the Silk Road Kaleidoscope palette but since the Oscar de la Renta Ready to Wear Kaleidoscope was meant to be a full face palette-it had a bigger draw for me even though it does carry a higher price tag. I had not even seen a tester for this palette so I'm glad that it does perform. Now I'm going to try and put blinders on before indulging on any more collector items ;)<br /></div></div>Jennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11286688225358324147noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1445453475035265337.post-46557260514191338172011-09-07T22:36:00.002-04:002011-09-07T22:50:00.307-04:00Dior Mitzah 5 Colour Eyeshadow PaletteI've been eagerly anticipating Sephora's release of the Dior Mitzah collection and last week the items were finally made available on their <a href="http://www.sephora.com/search/search_results.jhtml?command=text&attr1=mitzah&attr2=&%2Fcom%2Fsephora%2Fsearch%2Fendeca%2Fui%2FEndecaSearchFormHandler.search=search&_D%3A%2Fcom%2Fsephora%2Fsearch%2Fendeca%2Fui%2FEndecaSearchFormHandler.search=+&maxRecords=18&recordOffset=0&seeAllCategory=false&searchString=mitzah&x=0&y=0&_DARGS=%2Fincludes%2FsearchFinder.jhtml">website</a>.

I contacted Sephora and they were able to give me a small credit for inconvenience. Since the item is limited edition and out of stock, I am keeping it at the moment. The rep did not know when or if any more stock will become available but mentioned it may come back in stock closer to the holidays. So *fingers crossed* I can get a replacement in the future.<br /><br />Although it was damaged, my kitty still wanted to claim the Mitzah palette.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG3miDVIxiz0KeK7BHZYAJL89MuAc0DdC6rzrnpuMpJz_uE2nisj8Pr6XFNQNiJHcIZw1UTTK_eDNs3EKtAIAfIyLdTQRUGDolu8_rPVMhrxGMWCHadoQvNgsoXyT9HMtfK3EsKSgQSm8/s1600/mitzah11.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 219px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG3miDVIxiz0KeK7BHZYAJL89MuAc0DdC6rzrnpuMpJz_uE2nisj8Pr6XFNQNiJHcIZw1UTTK_eDNs3EKtAIAfIyLdTQRUGDolu8_rPVMhrxGMWCHadoQvNgsoXyT9HMtfK3EsKSgQSm8/s320/mitzah11.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5649811239313365090" border="0" /></a><br /></div></div></div>Jennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11286688225358324147noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1445453475035265337.post-322257180102738682011-09-05T22:43:00.000-04:002011-09-05T22:44:11.340-04:00Revlon Facets of Fuchsia vs. deborah lippmann Bad RomanceI'm still trying to get back to more regular posting, but for now I'm back with another comparison post. Revlon has been releasing some interesting polishes and a recent display had a few pretty glitter polishes. I picked up Facets of Fuchsia and was immediately reminded of deborah lippmann Bad Romance so here's the comparison of the two.

<br />Facets of Fuchsia (Index, Middle) - 3 coats
<br />Bad Romance (Ring, Pinkie)-2 coats
<br />
<br /><div style="text-align: left;">Facets of Fuchsia has more glitter in it then Bad Romance but the color is pretty much the same. The formula for Facets of Fuchsia is a bit thinner and the base color is sheerer than Bad Romance so I had to use more coats. My preference is for Bad Romance since I liked the look with a bit less glitter so that you can see the base a bit more but Facets of Fuchsia is definitely a great alternative :)
<br />
<br />The other polishes I picked up from the same display were Blue Mosaic and Starry Pink.

<br /><div style="text-align: left;">I'm definitely hoping Revlon continues to release these interesting colors.

<br />
<br /><div style="text-align: left;">In the display were a few interesting blushes. There was a sale on Maybelline Face products so I picked up all of them XD I had to fight with the cashier for the discount because the items weren't ringing up in the system but thankfully, the manager put the discount through.

<br />Anyway, <a href="http://macnunu.com/">Macnunu</a> mentioned they might be dupes for Chanel Joues Contraste so I dug in my stash to see if I had some possible equivalent colors. Here's what I came up with:
<br />
<br /><div style="text-align: center;">Top Row: Chanel Pink Explosion, Rouge and Pink Cloud
<br />Bottom Row: Maybelline Pressworthy Pink, Ravishing Rouge and Stage Glow

<br />
<br />(I'll try to update with pan pics later tonight)
<br />
<br /><div style="text-align: center;">So they are pretty close!
<br /><div style="text-align: left;">Chanel Pink Explosion is a bit warmer in color and more subtle in shimmer than Maybelline Pressworthy Pink.
<br />
<br />Chanel Rouge is a brighter red and more shimmery than Maybelline Ravishing Rouge which feels more burgundy.
<br />
<br />Chanel Pink Cloud is leans more white and subtle in shimmer than Maybelline Stage Glow which I think leans a bit more silvery.
<br />
<br />Overall, the Maybelline blushes were pretty nice. I haven't tested them for wear time but they feel pretty smooth and I had no problems picking up the color. A nice drugstore substitute but I wouldn't say exact dupe for the Joues Constrastes :)

It's a very pretty and shimmery collection. The main palette is the Ombres Tissées Beiges. I haven't had the heart to swatch this baby yet. There is a shimmery overspray that disappears with use (<a href="http://www.frontrowbeauty.com/">Front Row Beauty</a> has tester pic and swatches <a href="http://www.frontrowbeauty.com/les-aquarelles-de-chanel-ombres-tissees-beiges-swatch/">here</a>).
