Hey, fashionistas! Show off your knowledge and help me hunt

1. I'm looking for an eye shadow: a neutral buff/bisque color, but with pink undertones, not cream or brown; it shouldn't be straight matte, but it shouldn't be super-frosty either. The perfect shade of it currently exists in a Cover Girl quad, and I'm going to run out of it well before I use the rest of the quad. I don't know if that shade is sold as a single. I'm looking for other suggestions. Links appreciated, if possible.

2. I want to find vintage-y looking costume jewelry in shades of pink that isn't cheesey, cutesy, or cheap-looking. Yes, 1928 is the obvious choice, but I'm not finding things that really speak to me in their current lines. (I found a FANTASTIC pair of chandelier earrings on clearance, but there was no necklace to go with them.) The pink should be cool-toned (without orange-y tones), and if it's set in metal, the metal should be silvery or gunmetal in tone. Necklaces (including chokers) are my priority, but earrings and hair jewelry are also appreciated. Throw me links or tell me where you've seen it if it isn't online.

3. On that note, inexpensive but elegant hair jewelry, especially sparkly things, is also a quest. The stuff at Target-type stores and Claire's is too kid-cutesy; the stuff at Nordstrom and the like is too expensive. I'm particularly looking for small decorative clips and larger barrettes (the kind that can hold a ponytail). Any suggestions of a place that's a middle ground? Again, links appreciated.

Thank you kindly!
