Mine came today and I totally agree. It's a bright magenta pink on me, no violet at all. I'm pretty disappointed and it's definitely going back.

Why is Spring Flock still listed as a satin? I thought people were receiving ones labeled as matte? Is the formula like a typical satin or does it have a slight sheen?

Besides saying matte on the packaging, mine is chalky, dry, flat, totally matte. It's a big part of why I'm debating a return.
This Could Be Fun and Life's A Pic Nic also say matte on the packaging, but they apply more similar to the satins I have.
I noticed quite a few ppl mentioned that some of the blushes are matte and on the site it says it is satin. I tend to steer away from the matte blushes, so I am waiting until I see them in person in the store.

Hm.. this makes me reconsider Spring Flock. I love matte blushes but not chalky and dry ones.
The only things that are still on my list are Spring Flock and Oh My but after reading this I might only get Oh My..

I haven't tried Spring Flock yet, but Oh My! is so pretty! Get that one, you won't be sorry!

Yeah. I wish I had waited to check it out in store. A lot of ladies on here are loving and looking amazing in SF, though, so it may still work for you.
I am Mac N1, NARS Terre Neuve, NARS Mont Blanc...so generally pretty pale and pretty neutral. On me, I DO see hints of violet but only if I apply heavily and look IMO silly with clown cheeks. Once I blend it out, it reads a cool hot pink/magenta. The violet is also a lot more apparent if you pair if with Have Your Cake (or something simliar, I'm sure). I was a little disappointed, but it is still a gorgeous color and I did not yet have and bright/hot pinks, so I'm happy with it.

I got to play with my goodies last night! I thought I'd do a quick review of my thoughts:
TCBF blush = magenta on me, it just doesn't look great on me so it's going back. I wish it had been violet as described.
NTMY lipstick = what a beautiful sheer pinky-red! It's hard for me to pull off a bright matte red so I prefer sheer ones like this.
FF lipstick = loving this one too. Pretty similar to Make Me Gorgeous from the Beauty Is collection but pulls a little more pink on me than coral like MMG.
HYC = what a gorgeous shade! I have nothing else like it. Great pigmentation and formula, really brightens up my face.
PB BP = a very nice highlighter to go over my pinkish blushes. Not too obvious, just a sheer glowing sheen.

If you're on the fence about Have Your Cake, here's a comparison swatch. Like what people say, it's more violet while Hollywood Cerise is more magenta and FOF is (on me at least) just straight out deep pink. Moxie doesn't seem to be similar at all.

Fantastic swatches! Thanks for the comparisons. I love them all! A good reminder for me too pull out my Moxie!

Well, seeing that I have a slight love/love relationship with FOF... Might as well get HYC.

NW20 Blondes.. What are your favorite lipsticks/blushes from this collection?
I'm a NC15 blonde and I know these goodies will look best on me
- Lipsticks
Be Silly
Have Your Cake
The Fashion Flock
- Blush
What I Fancy
Spring Flock
Also both the beauty powders
I hope this helps.... I do love the look of the bold bright blushes but I feel they'll look harsh on my complexion even though I could sheer them out.

HYC is so pretty on you! I love it too and had to back it up!
Thanks for the comparison, all these shades are stunning on you!

This is crazy. Are most of the blushes labeled incorrectly? Is Oh,My! a satin?
