New Spring Makeup Swatches That Put Us in Our Happy Place

Makeup bloggers show us their favorite spring beauty loot
What It Is:
Make Up For Ever's new cream blush is formulated to glide easily onto your skin. The shades are also designed for light, medium and dark skin, with one universal color to suit all skin tones. (Colors shown: 330 and 410.)

The Finish:
"The texture is lightly creamy with some slip, and it takes about 30 seconds before it starts to really melt and transition into a more powder-like texture and feel .... It has good, buildable coverage that could be sheered out or applied at true-to-pan intensity. The color wore well for almost eight hours before fading."

What It Is:
The previously limited edition colors (Snow, Cobalt, Turquoise, Midnight, Periwinkle, Amber, Emerald, Paradise Pink, Olive and Teal) of Stila's precision eyeliners were so coveted they've been re-released. But get 'em while you can -- they're gone again after summer 2014. (Colors shown: Amber, Emerald and Paradise Pink.)

The Finish:
"They are waterproof and really do last all day without budging or smudging. They are super easy to use also, with a squishy sponge tip that isn't too hard or too soft. You can easily create a whisper thin line or a thicker one."

What It Is:
A 15-color eyeshadow palette that beauty fiends ripped off of shelves. (You'll see it in a slew of backstage snaps from New York Fashion Week.) Colors (left to right): Bellissima I, Madrague I, All About Eve I, Lhasa, Nepal, Madrague II, Bad Behavior, Ashes to Ashes, Fez, Dogon II, Brouse II, Bali, Pandora II, Mekon and Coconut Grove.

The Finish:
"It has the perfect mix of cool and warm-toned neutrals. And also a perfect mix of mattes vs. shimmers. The pigmentation and application of most of the shadows is absolutely fine. Although, the highlighting shades could've been a lot more pigmented, buttery and smooth."

What It Is:
A sheer lip color chock-full of shea butter and vitamins C and E to moisturize lips. Colors (left to right): In the Buff, Pink Dune, Firecracker, Paradiso, Sweet Spot, Summer Fling, Incorrigible and Bitter Sweet.

The Finish:
"Since these lipsticks were touted as lip conditioners, I expected an ultra sheer hybrid lip-balm-lip-color formula. The Sheers, however, perform like traditional lipsticks! They are more moisturizing and luminous than their counterpart, the richly opaque and creamy Lip Colors."

What It Is:
A powder-cream blush -- Choupette approved. Colors (left to right): Chamade, Affinité, Révélation, Présage, Intonation and Destiny.

The Finish:
"The Chanel cream blushes are lighter than the Stila, Bobbi Brown or Becca, and less 'oily' feeling. They feel a bit more dry and less sticky .... You can blend the color out so that it ends up as sheer as you wish."
