New Spring Makeup Swatches That Put Us in Our Happy Place

Makeup bloggers show us their favorite spring beauty loot
What It Is:
Six new colors for spring 2014's Dare to Go Nude Collection (top to bottom): Beige-ing Beauty, Nude Compliment, Pure Nude, Sleek & Spice, Caramel Cool and Stroke of Midnight.

The Finish:
"These shades concentrate on more nude, natural colors ... The odd man out is Stroke of Midnight, which is a black that has silver sparkle in the mix. I bet it can double up as an eyeliner should you like."

Pop Beauty Plump Pout, $16
What It Is:
A lip gloss and plumper in one that contains peptides, avocado and jojoba oils for full, shiny lips. Available in (left to right) Honey Rose, Bare Nectar, Fuchsia Freesia and Peony Petal.

The Finish:
"These plumping liquid lipsticks have a super tingling sensation when first applied ... The lipstick contains a doe foot applicator and has an attractive vanilla scent. With a few swipes, they deliver bold color, high shine, a fuller look and a long-lasting finish."

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."
