I tried the jelly pens and thought they were a lot like the cover girl ones, so I didn't get them. I can't decide between the pink and coral bronzer/blush. Which one to get first, I mean ;-). I'm worried the coral bronzer is too orange. I'm quite pale (nc15)

So, maybe I should skip the jellies?..hmm & I have really pigmented lips & they did look sheer. They got mixed reviews, but were sold out most places that I checked.

I think the coral looks amazing on very pale skin. I'm a light NW15. That 2nd link above, she's fairly pale & it looks gorgeous on her. I love pink anything, but there is something fresh looking that coral does to the skin.

The pink part is gorgeous and mixed with a bit of the bronzy part it is a beautiful "pink bronzer" for my pale skin.

I cannot wait to hear your thoughts on Pink Glow, Elegant!

Sounds absolutely lovely! I cannot wait to see it/swatch it today Thanks doll!!!

Yeah, I did think they were a bit sheer. And the texture was normal for that sort of thing. I thought they would have a different texture, but they were like most other balm pens. They are nice, but about $8 nice, lol.

I'm not a big bronzer fan, but I swatched both of these and I have to say that neither looked overly orange on my skin (also nc15). I think you could get away with either. If you're looking for something subtle, though, the pink one is the way to go, because the coral one is a little deeper/ brighter.

I got the last 001 Pink bronzer today. Its so pretty on. I would call it a soft muted rosy watermelon on. Very Very pretty. It makes the skin look glorious. My coral one will be delivered Wed.

MissTania - Those look really lovely. Welcome!

Yep, you are right. While I thought the colors were really pretty (although not unique) they were a bit too sheer for me & nothing really wow about them. I passed.

Thanks! That's good to know.

Thanks elegant-one! I will put up a pic once I get round to applying them

They are indeed gorgeous- it's like having a baby pink and baby blue/green.

I ended up viewing your blog and I will be buying that Redken Diamond Oil Shampoo and Conditioner! Hope it's good!!

 

[MACina]

......woohoo

Phew, I am so glad that you could get (the last

) one

And that you like it too...it is really very pretty

So delicate, I love both !

 

[Dominique33]

I think SO dear!!!! Its so gorgeous on everyone

Ooh, you have the pink too. How does it look on your skin? Lovely I'm sure.

Ok, I'm going to go get the Pink one today

And, I'm also going to get the jelly pens in the Pink & Coral colors. Do you guys have those too?

LOL ok so I need both !

The Jelly Pens are very sheer, very soft too. I would say it's perfect for summer, easy to wear and apply. But definitely sheer. Pigments are pretty though. I have 476 and 656. One has shimmer particules. The packaging is very pretty I think and most of all they are not so expensive ( around 22,50 € here ).
Is it a must-have I don't think so but it's really pretty !

 

[Dominique33]

Me too and it is really pretty!

Although I have to be a bit careful with the bronzy part and apply more of the pink part.

Yes but it's so finely milled that it's really easily wearable the all year around, to me these duo blushes are must-haves, glad you have this blush !

 

[MACina]

Thank you, Dominique!

Yes, I am really glad I have....we are ALL lucky to have it because it is a lovely product

I agree with you on texture.It is awesome!

And the packaging is great, I use the small Kabuki it works pretty well I think.

What do you think about the cream blushes ? I fear our wallets will say no ( again and as usual lol ) but I say yes to the cream blush, let's say just one and some polishes !

 

[MACina]

Indeed, the kabuki is a very good quality for a "gifted" brush!


I would loveeee to get Pareo

And really hope that we will get the collection here in Germany!

I love the color so much and also the fact that you can use on your cheeks and lips.

....never listen to your wallet

Never listen to my wallet ? You're right, definitely ! I still don't know which one I'll choose, the collection is due for June 17 here and I do hope you'll get it in Germany. Cheeks and lips, it's a bit like MAC Casual ( I don't use mine very often ), the Dior ones look beautiful !

 

[MACina]

Really??? I love mine so much and so I am excited for every similar product!

Thank you for sharing the release date.Maybe it is (nearly) the same here in case we get the collection.
