Sigh... when will you be posting pics on your blog? Thought I was gonna avoid this product.

The rain came today so my pictures are too dark. BOO! I'm gonna do it with indoor lighting and post tonight.

@Winthrop44 - Do you know, was the eyeshadow palette on Nordstrom and if so has it sold out? I can't seem to find it.

I couldnt find it either, is it online?

They don't have it yet. I talked to the manager at Nordstrom and she said no one has it yet... they're waiting. I had her put one on hold for me.

I am very unlikely to get it either (or should that be too? lol). Here's Sabrina's review of the blush:

Interesting. In her comparisons, I can definitely see the pink/ mauve tones in Accent, which I couldn't before. Still don't know if it would work for me.

Is accent in real more like in sabrinas photos or temptalia's photos?

Sabrinas big time, although its not quite that mauve looking on me as it does on sabrina.

temptalia's is WAAAY off! Doesn't look like that at all in the pan, swatched or on. Nope

My first pic of it in the compact is pretty close to what it actually looks like.

She added an update to say that Temptalia's version is different. She has the baked one and Sabrina as the US version.

for espiegle try scraping the top layer of the blush, it will be softer underneath

Please don't do this!!!

The best way is to take scotch tape and press it into the powder.
You may have to do this several times, but it will eventually remove the shiny film that can develop on powders over time.
Pro-tip right there. It works on eyeshadows that you've used wet, etc...

Should the shade be really different if its baked? It doesn't even look close

On me, Accent looks very, very different than it does on most of the bloggers. It looks closer to Temptalia's swatches than Sabrina's. It's more of an orangey-brown than a mauvey-beige. I don't know what to think.

Which version do you have? The one that I have has absolutely no orangey tone at all. Very odd

Nordies exchanged Initiation with no issue at all. They have a new manager at my local counter and she was ever so gracious. So now I'm happy. I'm wearing Accent today and OMG. Elegant is right. This blush is amazing. Even on my warm skintone, the mauve shimmer is so subtle and ... elegant. It's a perfect blush for this season. I love the 'cooler' tone of this blush. It's really perfect for Autumn/Holiday. Reminds me of snowfalls and warm winter coats...

I wore Accent today and liked it.

My Initiation replacement was another fail : ( I'm giving up on the puck. How is everyone liking the loose powder? Is it suitable for pale skin? I almost want to overlook it in hopes of them having an awesome highlighter for spring. Does the blush look amazing or similar to a lot of the MSFs and baked blushes MAC puts out all year?

Me and Accent:



It definitely sculpts. I have no idea how.

 

[LV2EVOLVE]

Looks gorgeous on you!
