Anyone that has Mood Light - what do you think of it? Describe it to me Thanks

Hm... I may be alone in this, but I'm a little disappointed by the two shades Temptalia showed. Both look quite similar and both, while pretty, are definitely corals, which isn't really what I was expecting from the colour descriptions. I'm still planning on getting Ethereal Glow when I can, since I don't have that many light pink blushes, but for the others, I want to wait and see how different they are from one another on my skin.

I find a lot of the warmer blushes that T wears in her full face shots look very similar. I can only discern major differences when she's wearing a blush that's really cool toned.

Hey doll, I'm going to take some pics of the Nars Copacabana illuminator for you to compare with the pink one. I'll post them in that Nars thread I'm worried that you won't be happy with the shimmer in the pink - I don't know.

I'm seriously considering getting Radiant Magenta; I have a lot of coral shades but very few pinks (Launch Away and Dollymix). I really like subtle (if buildable) blush, so I expect to love these. The Hourglass powders are so flattering (even with large pores, aging skin) that it makes it hard to reach for lesser versions. I'm now getting rid of my MSF (with the exception of Adored) because there's just no comparison between the Ambient powders and MSF.

I suspect that RM will look a bit pinker IRL than it does in T's swatches; the arm swatch we've seen certainly does. I've already ordered Luminous Flush; I'll wait to see how close (or different) RM might be before making a decision. I like Radiant Light as a natural blush; I think it would be beautiful mixed with a pop of a deeper pink.

The only problem I have with Hourglass is that I love their products so much that buying them causes me to use my others less often!

Here's that swatch link again. Ts does not look anything like this:

Thank you, that's so sweet! You also read my mind- I've been trying to decide if I might want Copacabana more and be able to use it in more looks

I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Copacabana - it is so soft wearable & GORGEOUSLY highlights the skin. I never want to be without it. I really think you would like it more than the pink one.

Okay, I'll get that one then! I was just thinking last night that I love the look of Adelaide, but I would kind of be restricted to when I was wearing cool-toned blushes or doing a really pink look. I'm way better off getting Copacabana since I could use it more often

Wondering how comparable and dupeable Radiant Magenta is to Mac Supernova and Sweet Samba blushes? I am thinking that I will just be satisfied with Mood Exposure. The others may be too light for me. I plan to get the two new LE Chanel blushes coming soon as well as one from Mac FoF collection- Petal Power.

I have it but I tried once and found it too shimmery, then forgot about it >.< How do you apply it to look soft? Do you mix it with foundation?

 

[elegant-one]

Are you vib rouge? cos the narsrouge promo code for orgasm illuminator in almost still full size is working, so you could get both

I just tap a very very small thin amount onto the skin with my finger & kind of tap with the fingers to sheer it out so its very subtle. I haven't tried mixing it with foundation.

I ordered Mood Exposure.. can't waitttt. Was originally going to get Ethereal Glow or Luminous Flush but they were both sold out by the time Canada got to order.. It's all a conspiracy I tell you!

That's the one I'm looking forward to the most.

You too? Maybe I should go google it It was my first pick.

 

[purplemaren]

I'm so excited to get a couple of these! I probably won't until I get paid again on the 7th though

Mine too I could use another plum blush, I don't have that many. And I remembered how much I love MAC's Plum Foolery, maybe Mood Exposure will be a similar shade.
I haven't found any swatches yet

I don't have any plum blushes, so I have high expectations for Mood Exposure! Thats the only one I ordered, will arrive tomorrow xD So far the swatches for diffused and radiant look like something I already have and I don't think dim would look good on my cool/neutral tone. Can't wait to see swatches of luminous, because that's the only ambient powder I have, so I wonder if using it on top of blush will make same effect. As far as ethereal goes, idk if I could pull of such pale lavender on my fair skintone o.o

Saw this on ebay.. I'm glad it looks lighter in the pan than the promo images. Although it looks like depending on how the marbling was done you could get quite different swatches.

Thanks for sharing I'm sad it looks lighter, lol. If I get it I hope I'll get one with more dark veining.
