Pot pics (look how cute they are!):Ginger, Plum, Berry, Peach. So happy with how the pics & swatches turned out - that is exactly how the shades look irl!




^inside under makeup lights - very accurate

^natural lighting under skylight - very accurate

Swatch order:
Plum - very pretty soft violet slight plum pink
Berry - fuchsia berry pink
Ginger - coral
Peach - soft pinked peach

The texture is awesome - cream to powder but no powdery feeling at all. Very smooth & blendable - melts into the skin. The shades are soft but buildable. The flower in the pot is just too charming

I'm going to get the plum & berry shades & the berry shade for my daughter-in-law for Valentine's Day

Elegant, your pics are amazing, thanks so much for sharing! They look so cute and the colours are so fresh and pretty. Do you know if they are LE? I read somehwere that they will be perm, but I doubt that.
Aw, that's sweet to get one for your daughter in law

No, I don't know if they are LE, but my counter did not get a lot of them. I thought it would be such a sweet Val. gift.

I've been putting together a Val. Day goodie package for our son, DIL & puppy...heart mints & a furry mustache squeaky toy for our grandpuppy

its hilarious looking.

You're so welcome my dear!

So, I've been wearing the plum blush now almost 7 hours & it has remained perfect! No fading at all & the color is still beautiful on. I also tried the new Nars pink illuminator high on the cheekbones over it & its a BEAUTIFUL combination!!!! There is something about these blushes that kept the pink illumination of the Nars product, but made the shimmer/sparkle subdued. LOVE it. I paired OFP Huggable lip with it & it made for THE prettiest natural look. LOVE it.

Thanks!

I'm not a Clinique user, but these are just charming! They make you happy just looking at them in the pot. The texture is super super nice. I ordered 3 of them from Sephora

... good for you! they are going to replace my Sex Fantasy I think.. lol. I was concerned about the chalkiness of the SF.. but these are smoother imo. Are they LE?

I mean NARS Sex Fantasy.. not my own

I don't know if they are LE. I didn't ask. These are incredibly S M O O T H & beautiful because they become part of the skin making them look so natural & fresh.

And....

Now I'm glad I didn't get the Nars blushes. These sound so good, it's hard to choose which one(s) to get. But I think I'll stick with the Ginger & Berry. The peach looks lovely as well, but I think I have a lot of similar shades already.
I don't even know the price yet and when/where they're available here. Have to do some research...

Honestly, I think the Plum shade is a better alternative for Nars Sex Fantasy because it is similar in shade but has a bit more of a slight pale plum to the violet pink shade making it more wearable. I think you would love the texture.

I ordered mine from Sephora today with that 10% off code

Very nice swatches. Ginger is a pretty muted peachy coral without so much pink in it like the Peach shade.

I'm really curious if the new blushes could be the equivalent of mac's ED blushes. It's both Lauder, and Estee Lauder (the brand) has done the EdSF and EDES before Mac did them, so they obviously share formulas across brands?

 

[User38]

Hi Anneri! yes they do.. they share common factories so it's only logical. I don't think there are equivalents but certainly similarities.

I did read somehwere that someone compared them to the ED skinfinishes.

Do you by aby chance know the german release date? I can't find anything.
