Hey Kitten

I got the samples and the pale pink glitter blush from Return All Health is very close but on the warmer side while S&C is a cooler pink and the glitter/shimmer factor is no where near as much as S&C. They do have a shade called Pink Candy Shimmer its more of a mauve/pink and quite nice actually (will post swatches this weekend of both with S&C), but both blusher just don't seem to have the same luxury feel to them as Karen's blushers do.

Will test drive them sometime this week and let you know how they hold up.

Hi Kitten

Sorry for the delay but here are the swatches. I take back the glitter factor in pale pink glitter blush, there's quite a bit. It turns out it's not a dupe for SN Strawberry & Champayne, but a dead ringer for Rich. It does lasts all day (but I only did it for one day).

I included Return all health's blusher Pink candy shimmer. Its not a dupes for S&C but I thought it was very pretty and had to show it. It's like lovelace, tart and babydoll as it may look a bit werid in the jar but on the skin it lovely (again only wore it for a day). Fair warning - Its quite pigmented

Pale pink is slightly pinkier then rich but not by much
