Lol enablers you are! I just bought MM, LC, and FoJ last week Saturday. Now I'm thinking I also want PT and IF as well. I'm skipping PP as I don't really care for bright pink blushes. Ughh decisions, decisions, decisions!

Someone commented on another forum that the Tres Cheek blushes are chalky, especially Full of Joy.

Now my heart is set on getting Full of Joy but afraid that it might be chalky. Do you agree it is?

I am NC20-25, cool toned.

I also wanna get Peony Petal. And possibly MAC Snob to partner with Full of Joy.

What do you think?

I don't know what brush they are using or if they have double dipped, but I am not getting chalky from any of these blushes, they are very pigmented and LIKE BUTTER. Very blendable and smooth. FoJ and PP are gorgeous for purple-mauve pink and cool toned pink--so I'd say go for it.

Just got back from Nordstroms with MM, FOJ, PP, PT, IF, LC! I don't even have a blush obsession but hearing all the raves on here I had to have them. The MUA artist layered them & they just look awesome. On my first haul of the ED & RS & TC Collections I bought PC, which I really like. I ordered several blushes from Nordstroms online yesterday, but didn't know if I'd get an email saying they were out of stock. When I was calling around town everyone was oos of all the blushes. I was just going to swatch them today to see what I was going to get. But I felt well enough to leave my house today, I was shocked to call one more store in ATL- low & behold the store had 1 left of each! I'm stoked, they R pretty but I'm kicking myself 4 not BUing a few of the ED ES! Keep the combos of EDSFS & blushes coming. Also, I need some lipstick combo ideas with these blushes b/c I've only had Buff over the last 7 or so years. 1 blush to 8 in a matter of min. Stop me! Hope everyone is well!

I used Lovecloud today and that came out beautifully on my skin, I used lightscapade as a highlight and it gives my cheeks such a nice natural flush and compliments the bold Sugarpill eyes that I did today perfectly. I did a swatch fest last night for my blog and noticed that this appeared more rose on my skin than I thought it would. Beautiful blush and so glad I grabbed it.

Immortal Flower tomorrow for the next trial.

BTW... stoked that I am getting 8+hrs wear with no fading as well with these!!

This might seem an odd question but I need help. I love these blushes but am struggling with my application of them. I have read posts here that say to deposit the color and then buff it out. I have very reactive sensitive skin with rosacea. My face doesn't like to be "handled" so much and when I do this I get the dreaded painful flush. However when I try otherwise I either get way to little or way too much color. Any brush or application suggestions?

I have this same issue! It has been very frustrating since I received my package that I haven't been able to get the sheen effect without making my cheekbones all flushed underneath. So far I have been tapping on the color with my 109 and then sweeping my 189 (which was le) lightly over the area to kind of brush away the top layer of pigment and reveal a little sheen. I don't think this is using the blushes to their full potential however...

If you deal with redness in your cheek area, a good way to get around this is using a pointy, tapered contouring brush, like the 165. Due to the particular shape, you can really roll the brush over your cheeks (rather than brush it on) without irritating any sensitive skin. The rolling action will give you a similar sheen effect, especially if you use a brush like the 165, which has very soft bristles. I hope this helps.

I wore the same combo yesterday! Yep, I was in cotton candy pink heaven! LOL Peony Petal is so gorgeous. It's different from any other blushes I own. I'm glad I got it. ;)

Which brush do you guys use for Peony Petal? I use 129SH. I really have to be careful with it since PP is so bright. Haha.

Okay blush enablers, I'm officially in love. I'm sporting Glorify under IF & it looks beautiful. I was thinking it was a tad heavy than what I normally but it's so beautiful I don't care! My hubby said it he barely noticed it, that it didn't look too heavy at all. Also, I'm trying out my first NARS item- Galapagos in my crease & it's beautiful! I'm so in heaven with the way my makeup came out! Yea, great now I'm loving me some NARS. NOW, the Dior Addict Extreme? LS leaves a little to be desired...New Look, LOVE the color but NOT the lack of staying power. Any dupes ideas? I didn't like Vegas Volt on me. Hope everone is great. I'll say my first CCO HAUL story for another post. Love talking makeup cause my hubby is surely over me talking about although he doesn't act like it! Hope everyone is great :bouquet:
