Hey there!
Today I want to do a comparison I was asked to do. I totally forgot about it, so sorry dear
Desert Rose! But better late than never, right?! :D
So, the request was to compare Catrice's Ombre Blush from their Revoltaire LE, called C01 Color Bomb, to the Duo Blush they released with the Floralista LE in the spring of 2011, called C01 As Lively As Ever.
Let's say it right away: these are not dupes in any way. The differences become clear already when you just look at both blushes. Color Bomb is a blush that goes from a light peach to a darker peach-toned pink, and the overall color is definitely pink-toned. It also has a shimmer. As Lively As Ever is a blush that has two clearly divided parts, and one is a hot pink and the other a orange-toned peach. Both sides are fully matte.
The pigmentation of As Lively As Ever is also better than the one of Color Bomb, and it contains 6g, whereas Color Bomb contains 8g.
When you have a look at the swatches, you can also see that the colors aren't similar. I compared the orange-toned peach of As Lively As Ever to the lightest part of Color Bomb, and the pink side of As Lively As Ever to the darkest part of Color Bomb. Then you also have a swatch of all of the colors of As Lively As Ever and all of the colors of Color Bomb together. Color Bomb is more pink-toned, and it's overall color is a tad lighter.
