I know not everybody loves post-award-show makeup breakdowns. And while we may not look just like the celebs when we wear the same makeup, I thought you still might want to know who was wearing what. Here's what I've been able to find out so far:

You'll forgive me if I'm partial to today's blush swatches; Springsheen is one of my favorites. It's a peach pink with gold shimmer (though I never see actual shimmer on my cheek) — not too pigmented, perfect for fairer skin.

What about NARS Orgasm, you ask? Orgasm is also peach-pink-with-gold, right? Orgasm is a little peachier, with a little

Onward and upward, readers! More of MAC's permanent and pro blushes today. MAC's potted blushes are $18.50; the pans are $15.50. To buy a pro shade, you can visit a pro store, or call 1-800-387-6707.

Melba is a matte pinky peach. Pinch Me is a matte, ruddy (reddened) peach. Ambering Rose is a shimmery red-brown-peach with gold shimmer. Flame

Good morning, readers! Today we begin a project which I am so excited to get off the ground: a systematic swatchanalysis of MAC's permanent and pro blush shades.

One note, before we begin, about swatching methodology. There are pros and cons to every approach. I use triangle sponges and swatch blushes heavily, (1) because I think that a

I'd like to introduce you to one of the most beautiful nail polishes in the world: Rescue Beauty Lounge's Drifter.

There are a few things that keep me from recommending this polish wholeheartedly. For starters, it's regularly $18 (unless you happen to catch one of RBL's half-price sales). It's also fairly high maintenance to apply. Drifter seems to take

I have two favorite kinds of nail polish: holographic (holos) and ultra shiny cremes (though with the right topcoat, any polish can be glossy). So naturally, when I heard cruelty-free, vegan, "three-free" (formaldehyde, toluene, and DBP free) brand Nubar was releasing a spring holo collection, I was super excited.

The Prisms aren't true holos — holo polishes feel

I love spring makeup, and Dior's Lace Collection (also referred to as the Boudoir Collection) is a nearly perfect illustration of what's so great about it.

There are two new limited edition eyeshadow quints ($57): 743 Coquette and the iridescent 059 Pearl Glow. Both of these have an embossed lace pattern in the powder. While neither of these

So the rest of the world got a bunch of awesome extra pieces in O My Rose — which will not be coming to the U.S. (so. not. fair.)

They get a product called Le Kohl Gloss in three shades: Pop Petrol, Swinging Copper, and BB Sand. I think these are shiny/reflective eyeliners — maybe like the new

When I'd heard Pantone picked turquoise as the color of 2010, I scoffed, but teal is turning up in quite a lot of this year's early collections (I know, teal and turquoise aren't the same, but they are related).

And even though Lancome's spring collection is called O My Rose, there's quite a lot of "teal" in the color

The second part of Guerlain's spring release is Lip Innovation, which features the release of TWO new lipstick formulas. Kiss Kiss Strass ($31, meant to replace Kiss Kiss Maxi Shine, click here for old swatches), and Rouge G Le Brillant ($46), the shinier, glossier incarnation of Guerlain's Rouge G formula. Click here to revisit the

I found Guerlain's spring collection this past weekend, and it surprised me: Cherry Blossom is not your typical spring offering.

It was the eyeshadow quad that I really wasn't expecting. #408, Jeu D'Ombrelles ($59) offers shades in shimmery white, satin black-violet, matte royal purple, and shimmery pink.

The collection also offers limited edition Cherry Blossom Blush Eclat

When Warm & Cozy first hit the counters, Tinted Lip Conditioner Feelin' Good was missing from the lineup. Well I was finally able to track it down, so I thought I'd share the swatch with you, in case you were still undecided. I still believe these TLCs are creamier than others I've tried, and they smell like something sweet

Spring has arrived at my local Chanel counter (and online), and "clean, classic neutrals" are the theme — Chanel, you know my weakness.

As is usual for a Chanel seasonal collection, Les Impressions has a lot to the offer. Attracting a lot of attention so far is the Kaska Beige eyeshadow quad ($56) — the shades are light matte/satin

Take one look at MAC in Lillyland and you'll be convinced it's spring — quite a feat, given that I'm wearing long underwear today.

The collection includes a number of interesting little "one-off" items, starting with the Pearlmatte powders. There's a Pearlmatte eyeshadow trio ($19.50), containing white, green, and pink shades that swatch almost exactly the way

I may as well confess to you: I have a girl-crush on Dr. G.

Dr. G (who is approximately NC44) last modeled part of Mischief Makers for us, and she was able to donate a little time on Saturday for All Races, Ages, Sexes. I liked this collection okay on me, but I LOVE it on her.
