J.Crew beauty final sale (Essie for J.Crew Swatches)

J.Crew is having an additional 50% off sale items in-store right now. Although there were no petite items to be found, my local store had a few great deals on collaboration items (which make great gifts!).

My friend picked up the Stila for J.Crew lipgloss trio for $12 (three FULL size tubes - currently online for 40% off) which includes three juicy colors - Grapefuit, Starfruit, and Rasperry. They also had singles in-store for $5 each. She already loves these lip glazes and was thrilled to find more at such a low price. She also got the Cosabella lace thong trio for $18 (individually sold for $19 each).
I got the little Essie box containing baby-sized jars of Jelly Apple (a candy red), Clam Bake (red-orange), Innocent (dusty mauve-pink), and Prima Ballerina (pale, pink-cream). Retail $20, on final sale for $5. Swatches in order:
The two brights were super easy to apply (runnier formula). Above is two coats with no top coat. The pinks were creamier and streakier to apply. I love all these colors for Spring/Summer.

I think Clam Bake is the most universally-flattering bright shade. I've seen a similar shade in their catalogs against pale-skinned models and I can see it looking just as nice against dark or tanned skin.
