Plum has got to look very pretty on you!!!

I didn't find any swatches either.

You're too sweet.

I guess we have to wait until T gets it.
I'm kinda liking the Magenta one too now.

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 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?

Sadly, I'm not VIB Rouge yet I was really close at the end of the year, but moving expenses prevented me from reaching it. I would love to get both eventually!

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 wish I were that gentle.. I mix, mash with foundation or apply straight sometimes over foundation. They all work as long as you have a good buffing brush.

Mine have shipped! I'm so excited. I can't wait to see everyone's swatches too!:eyelove:

Yay, my Mood Exposure and Dior lipstick arrived xD so pretty. But I was expecting something plum purple like but it's more of a reddish brown nude type of shade, it seems similar to Becca mineral blush in Sweet pea, which I wanted to buy, so I can scratch that of my list(didn't see that one in person, going from swatches online). I tried taking photos but my camera kept fighting with me and not wanting to focus properly =.= I need to stop buying so much makeup and instead save up for new one with manual focus

BEAUTIFUL!

Mine shipped today, can't wait to have it in my hot little hands hehe. I was expecting it to be more of a purple/pink nude rather than red/brown but I'm still excited to check it out. Hopefully it looks amazing on.. maybe it will replace my Blushbaby as top favorite??

How is the finish? These really do look different than what might reasonably be expected (from a colour standpoint); I can't wait to see swatches side by side. The shades look a lot more alike than I'd thought they would.

How's the lippie?

Not exactly what I expected, but I like it

I think it's satin finish, I didn't see any sparkles or glitter and it didn't look matte. And the pigmentation was pretty good but it also blend out super easily xD But I looked into mirror and it almost disappeared on me o.o My cheek ate it. Granted I just put it on my bare face without anything under or over it lol
The lippie is definitely orange red so it kinda looks bad on me lol will need to put gloss over it to make it more cool-toned. But I like the texture, its smooth and slightly hydrating and smells like some kind of fruit, can't pinpoint which one though

And I have to say I finally got my hands on the new Nirvana black and white perfume samples,was sooo excited to try it, but they smell horrible on me

I like orange-red, but I think there are more that can wear the cool reds (I can't).

So far the blush all seem to look like a version of a warm coral. I hope the differences are more pronounced than that, or I didn't need two of them!

Me too... I'm a little nervous. Glad the 2 I got look really different from each other from the pan pics... but who knows! If these are really subtle, they might not come off very different on the skin than a regular blush layered with the Ambient Powder on top!

 

[Audrey C]

That swatch reminds me of Tarte Exposed... one of my all-time favorite blushes! But I definitely don't need a dupe! I'll have to do a swatch comparison in the store. It looks really pretty, but not at all what I thought it would look like based on the description.

I really like the promo pic for these; Hourglass confirmed on their Facebook page that the model is wearing Luminous Flush even though it looks like she's holding Radiant Magenta. I've seen swatches of Dim Infusion and I'm pretty confident that's a sheer light coral, so I should be ok.

T's pics of Radiant Magenta and Diffused Heat look so similar, although she lists different dupes for each, and now Mood Exposure looks similar to them as well. I hope we're wrong about that. I'm glad I didn't pull the trigger on RM; I don't need another Liberte/Torrid/My Paradise/Marine Life type colour, as much as I love them.

nono, mood exposure is not similar to radiant magenta and diffused heat =) Those two are really similar to Nars Day dream but when I swatched mood exposure it looked nothing like my day dream(thankfully) xD When tomorrow will be daylight again, I can take pic of it next to my other blushes, hopefully camera will start to focus properly. Do I need to take pic from a distance to get focus? Or how do you do manual focus on point-and-shoot cameras? @_@

 

[elegant-one]

The promo pic is insanely different than the actual product. It also shows more of the color & less of the highlight shade which seems to be reversed from the real product that I've seen. Kind of disappointing. Sephora's shipping is sooooooooooo slow. Mine are still in the warehouse

 

[elegant-one]

I've just looked at many other pics & swatches of RM & none of them look even close to Ts

 

[User38]

I have just noticed that too.. what's up with that?

I feel like these are similar to the swirled MSFs where depending on how it's made the proportions of each color are different. Maybe this is one of those products that you need to go pick out in store and get the kind of swirl that you want?

Her RM looks like it has a particularly small proportion of blush colour compared to the AL powder in the mix, that's probably a large part of what's throwing it off.

 

[User38]

hmmm.. well they are mineralized so it can happen..but to photog that doesn't make much sense imo.

I wonder if hers could be labeled wrong???
