Tuesday, March 31st, 2009
This palette is similar to Lumiere Tendresse only it is more brown. I normally don’t reach for it because it looks too brown to me, but then this morning the blush surprised me because it looks peach on. It has quite a bit of shimmer in it.

The brown in the left looks quite similar to the brown in LT. I’m not real crazy about how much red pulls
