If you have Pink Opal, this is just a more intense pink version of that. I would say that it is twice as pink as MAC's Pink Opal. Next to each other, they look like they are the same texture and quality, but Baby Roses has a pastel pink base instead of translucent like MAC's Pink Opal has, so it looks a lot pinker. If I did not know which was which, I would not be able to tell which was from MAC and which was not. The quality is that close.

Baby Roses makes a perfect shadow when you are going for a translucent pink that you want to show up but not overwhelm your eyes. It is really a gorgeous color. Used wet, (or with mixing medium) it is brilliant yet pastel.

I love this color. Perfect for a pastel pink look. If you like Pink Bronze from MAC because of the shimmer, but hate the dark base color, you would like this a lot.

If this is your first sweetscents review....

If you want to check out these pigments, they are about $2 each for a 10g jar (MAC wants $18.50 for a 7.5g jar) and the quality is as good as MAC in most of the colors.

Go to http://www.sweetscents.com/mica_2.html and look for Mica Pack Combos at the bottom of the page.

Some of the colors that I am reviewing are not on the site yet, it is supposed to be revamped soon. You can talk with the sweetscents lady via phone or email (it is on the site) and tell her that you read my review of the color if you do not see it on the site (she knows me by now since I ask endless questions- I am the artist capri) and that way she will not wonder how you knew about the color.

She will also help you find colors you might like if you tell her what you like or are looking for. That is how I found so many awesome colors. She is a pigment addicts DREAM!
