Anyone have something similar to BITE Mulberry?

I was hoping to order it a few weeks ago but it said out of stock and it hasn't come back in stock and I'm assuming it won't since they are replacing that line of lipsticks with the amuse bouche.

Someone listed BITE 'Mulberry' in the trade thread... On the first page, I believe.

ok not the best lighting, but if you'd like I can reswatch in the a.m. tomorrow

Probably Charlotte is closest to Mulberry though it looks a bit pinker. Audrey is more brick than Mulberry. Vera is way more pink and bright. Vivien looks more purple and muted. Hope that helps. I know the swatches aren't the best. 😞

Thank you! All of these look WAY more pink than Mulberry did in the store...it was more of a vampy plum color.

[jozkid]

I just tried to take a picture of me wearing Mulberry, but the lighting was just not happening. But putting it on reminded me of a couple of things about this shade. One, it's not nearly as opaque as it might seem. Second, it feathers (and I was wearing a lipliner, too). It looks more purple on than in the swatch, but honestly, if you can find a similar shade in a different brand, I'd go that route.

[TKLJ]

I don't have Mulberry, but after looking at the color online, maybe Nars Vera, Audrey, or Vivien?

[jozkid]

Good eye!

Anyone have the Gwen Stefani blush palette that wouldn't mind posting swatches? Im on the fence and would love to see some swatches 🙂 

[Mochapj]

My local drugstore had the blush palette for swatching, so I stopped to try it.

Surprisingly, it shows up rather well on my olive tone.  I would wear all except the lightest pink.

[Nicrohr]

Wow I love the top three in this photo, esp the top left cool pale pink.

[Nicrohr]

They look diff to me than other swatches, maybe the bright daylight and your olive skin as you mentioned - that's why they look somewhat different on me :).

[Mochapj]

They look a lot different to me than most swatches I've seen, but seem consistent with how they looked on Karen at makeupandbeautyblog, who is in my shade range.

I think the yellow/oliveness in my skin is making the bottom 3 shades look really peach.  I was also standing in the shadow of a building, so that may have something to do with it (natural, but indirect lighting).

[meganlisa]

Swatches in morning light.  The photos don't fully capture the changing nature of these, with shifting shades in light.

[autumnhbxo]

Thanks! Colours are really pretty and looks like a good range of colours in one palette, I think I'll have to buy one 🙈

[meganlisa]

It's a rare item for which I actually bought a backup.  I really like it with my skin tone.

[autumnhbxo]

Just ordered it! And yeah the colours look great I'm excited to give it a try 🙂 

[blondesluv2shop]

Anyone own Colourpop blushes? I'm looking for one that would be good for my fair skin without a ton of glitter.

[sn22]

I have just one, and I am tan but I think this would work for anyone with a lighter hand. Here is Swift- it's kind of a satin/matte finish.

Top- 3 swipes

Bottom - 1 swipe
