RM - Its much more deep Raspberry in person. Aghh, my camera just couldn't capture the beauty of the Raspberry shade. Maybe because its so cloudy today.

My Mood Exposure came today!

I haven't tried it on yet because it came just as I was leaving for work but I brought the box with me to open it and look at it! Lol. The marbling and color looks great - on par with the promo.

I know, right! Its so darn gorgeous that I want the whole pan to be the blush

I'm afraid mine will just end up disappearing if I use it

What does it look like when you "Swirl the entire compact with your brush to pick up the perfect balance of pigment and powder" ?

Well, in the RM particularly, the 'golden' highlight part turns the raspberry shade a more muted color. Kind of darkens a bit but not too bad. Its very pretty. I just love the plain raspberry shade so much by itself.

Since the other shades have lighter highlighter shades, it doesn't mute the main blush as much. Hope that makes sense.

sorry I'm so late, I just saw your post.

I wonder if I swirl Her Blooming cheek with ambient powders..

I hate like hell to buy something and get the dud

I will only get EG. All the others look too warm for me

But it doesn't turn warm like in Temptalia's swatches? That's good!

What brush is everyone using to apply these? I used the 116 this morning for ME and it picked up way too much for me in just one swipe.. I was able to buff it out.. but I don't like to play around like that. I'm going to try the 129 next and see if that's better.

I use Mac's 159 - LOVE this brush for very pigmented blushes. Plus, the head is slightly flatter & smaller. I can get the brush just on those small parts of blush easily. I use a fan brush to apply EG on the top of my cheekbones.

I used my multi task blush from real techniques in my RM today and although I just tapped the surface of the blush, I got too much product and had to go in with a buffer and diffused AP to soften the edges down. My RM is more blush than AP so need to find a softer brush, might try my 131 duo fibre or the NARS yachiyo and see if they help, on the plus side 7 hours after application I have minimal fading!
