The more I see swatches of these, the more I need to see them in person. I can't wait for these to get here!!
I think they really depend on skintone too, because the shimmer affects the colour. Lovely creamy texture and nice colour payoff and I don't often get excited about blushes.

I tried them in-store today - I'm very pale with a pink-based skin (NC15 ish).

I loved the Dainty because it's a peachy pink (like I wish Nars Orgasm was - less gold, more colour, a touch pinker). Could not resist this.

Pleasantry/Gentle were quite cool tone, pretty but had to pass.

Nuance came out quite orange on me - think it's the gold on top of the peach base.

Merrily is fantastic - but so difficult for pale skins as it has loads of colour. Nicest red blush I've ever seen (and on me it was red!). Gorgeous, but I had to leave it. (I had to keep telling myself 'I must not buy anything else I will just admire and not actually use'...)

Highly recommend trying them, but it's awful hard to buy just one.....
