That's a good idea.
I love BOA on so many people....other than me.
I think this has been the most frustrating color of blush ever. It must be that I have redness in my skin that I don't even realize.

I will try with Refined Golden tho. In about a month, I will be using that every day. (that and Stila's bronzer are my 2 faves)


I tried Bite Of An Apple again after a while not using it, and this time I liked it much better when I used it with Golden bronzer. :)

Thanks...virgin isle is also more orange while boa is pinkier, aren't they? I'm looking for confirmations because now I'll have them both

xasperdastra.. no. BOA is a vibrantly strong matte blush.. Virgin Isle is a cream, same coral tonality but because of it's texture more subtle and blendable.

no.. they are both coral.. but the very nature of a creme is sheerness.. while the nature of a powder is to deposit more pigment.

enjoy both if you are getting them!

I wear this a lot:

Sweet Joy (or Creme de Meil, or other similar) on inner half (or third) of lid. De Vil on outer half (or third), Vainglorious on outer v and crease.
Then, I do this often to make it more dramatic: use either Almost noir to line thickly the lower lashline ( quite a bick thicker on the outer half and even extend a bit past the eye), and bring the liner up to the upper lid (about the outer third of the lid), and go over that liner with Vainglorious. It is so pretty when it is thicker on the outer half of the eye.
Also have used Brown Now shadestick (the reddish brown one) under Vainglorious.

I think these two shadows are beautiful together.
The coppery of the Devil on the outer half, and slightly above the crease so that it shows up well, with the Vainglorious on the lower lash and outer v, and extended past the eye, is stunning.

Oh so fair it's not so fair on me XD I have to use it like a light blush because as a powder it's a bit dark O_O why am I so pale??

I personally think that oh so fair is more of a blush rather than as an overal face powder by itself. I'm a NC20 and i use oh so fair as a blush powder. Definitely too pink to be used all over the whole face for me

it's exactly the same for me! I'm NC20 too and if I use it all over the face it's a bitt odd

I agree - I definitely wear my OSF as a blush, or sometimes as a highlight with another blush. It's one of my favourite blushes, though!! :)

this sounds pretty. I don't have any of these shadows, but I can try similar ones I have (and I do have Brown Now). I have to say the beauty powders were my favorites from this collection and I am still loving my HotHouse gloss.

I had originally skipped this entire collection but now am kicking myself for not getting some of the powders. I do wish the the packaging didn't look so cheap though, a real pity.
