Any recommendations which brush to use? 187? kabuki (181 or 182)?
I should have stayed away from them, but you made it sound soooo great.

And I still want Merrily

Definately 187 or 188! No kabuki for this one... it's way too pigmented!
I've been told Merrily wouldn't work on me either- I don't care. It is THE one that caught my eye when I first saw this collection... and I just bought it off a specktrette then!

I don't have Gentle to compare, but Love Thing is sooo pigmented that there is no way I'd be able to use another brush with it =\ I used it today, and i just BARELY touched the bristles to the blush, then tapped my brush, and swirled it against the back of my hand, and the colour is still waaaay strong! Maybe the difference is in our skin colours though? I'm NW15 afterall lol. I don't think this will be the case for Dainty though.

Aromaleigh has this duo-fiber blush brush that is pinched at the ferrule so it sort of fans out and is PERFECT for blush application with pigmented blushes. I just lightly swipe with it and apply. And if I accidently add too much, I use their baby kabuki with is phenomenal!! I love it for buffing out blush! I think both are around $15/ea. and so worth it!! I think they are a great alternative to MAC's!

And elegant-one, you were absolutely right about Salsarose!! I am in love! And you definately need Azalea; that color would be amazing on you.

Did you bring your own brushes? Or did they give you one?
Or did you just swatch them on your hand?

My hand is way more tanned than my face, so I wanted to try them on my face. I still do not get why it looked ok in the shop, but not at home

But I might have an idea though...

Which ones did you get? I remember Pleasantry, right?

Thanks that I have a MA who I can more than trust.

She was unfortunately not there that day...

I will try it. I am NW20 and I will make it work for me.
Probably I will have to decide who will get Love Thing as will last for the rest of my life and then another generation after that

Just wanted to post a quick rave for my Nuance that I recieved yesterday. I'm wearing it today and its a beautiful peachy/golden/bronze on me. Its gorgeous and I love it!

I can't believe how amazing these blushes are. Way to go MAC!

I used they 181 brush (I know, jerms!!! But I had no choice). Look for a good lightning spot in the store too, cause most of the spots have horrible lightning and it doesnt help to see the real thing.

Good tip. And the store I go to is close to the windows/doors

Pleasantry looked a bit scary to me, but I got Dainty, Warm Soul and Love Thing. I love Warm Soul a lot and wear it all the time. Tough I think I need to use another brush...

My name is Birgit.

I tried Love Thing in the store because I thought it looked so nice in the pot. But on my face it was soooo red... did not work for me. I tried putting it on with 187 as well. So I skipped that one and got Sandy B lipstick instead
