I only own Bareness and At Dusk, because all those others were too powdery/chalky for my taste and I skipped them all. So here I am getting CB….if these are your most used all the time, then you'll probably love and use CB. I'd call it a bit brighter than all of these, but also subtle too. Also, like what HG was saying, less dusty and greyed down color. It's very natural and easy to deal with and without sheen, unlike the Mineralize blushes, which are my usual go-tos for lighter blushes (since they're much less often chalky or fuzz-enhancing on my skin). With that many similar blushes, though, I would just get one CB, rather than flipping out about back ups.

This is one of the big reasons I'm a MAC fan - you often get the tech innovations, but without the extra designer label packaging and price tag. When it works, it works.

You're the icon around here

Sharon definitely was a more feverish look for me too, even with that texture. Wasn't too hard to skip, since Lovecloud doesn't get all powdery on me and I've got plenty of blushes at that saturation level (because I can't buy those paler, fuzz-bucket blushes, lol - I guess now I can strap in and prepare to finally buy more of those coming round the bend

This! It's got a great, glowing lit from within look, with pink and a touch of apricot in there too, without being heavy at all - no need to buff in or only apply a teeny bit. I think it has what it takes to show up on darker than medium skin tones too, but you'd probably have to use extra to make sure it stands out.
Thank you Liba! Thank God I never do BUs. My MU drawers would explode and they're bad enough already.

The jury's still out on CB though - will swatch and try it in store when it launches over here, I guess!

Rushing around again, I tried this product: REvlon Colorburst Matte lip balm. It has a slight minty taste, and applies beautifully, the colour is gorgeous, but the coverage is iffy. The wear time is ok, about 3 hours and then it beads up.. no good!


Skin, MAC NC15-20, lips mauve pink.

So pretty! Looks like that toned it down nicely.
Thank you! It looks so much better toned down on me, but I think I'm going to ditch it since it is similar to Pink Pigeon and PP is way more wearable on me out of the tube than CYY is because it isn't as bright.

I can't seem to get brights to look bright enough! lol
