Elegant - I'm shocked you don't have any of the ambient lighting powders!!

I was lucky enough to get the palette with dim, radiant, and incandescent. I also have diffused and luminous. I don't wear MAC foundation but I would guess I'm in the NW15-20 range, have pale skin with yellow and pink undertones - all of the powders work on me. I use radiant as a blush or in place of bronzer since it's warm Dim and diffused are amazing setting/finishing powders. The quality of the powder is amazing and they make your skin look airbrushed. Highly recommend.

Okay...back to the blushes. I wore Diffused Heat and this is a nice coral/poppy color on me. It's a keeper. I don't think the color itself is unique but it looks so natural on the skin.

Trying Radiant Magenta tomorrow.

pale NW15 but my skin is like yours pink & yellow. I am going to have to get the ALP next for sure. Have you tried the lavender one? Thanks! I am really in the with the blushes, quality & that amazing airbrushed look. I can't wait to hear what you think of RM.

If you are pale, everything but ethereal, diffused and luminous may be too dark to use as all-over-face powder >.< Lot's of pale girls use Mood powder as a blush and radiant and dim as subtle bronzer.

I even use luminous as a subtle blush/highlight lol.. I don't think I could pull it off all over the face.

I got my Luminous Flush today and it is gorgeous! I'll post pictures when I have better light. Mine has a lot of blush and it's very pretty on the skin. I'm tempted to get Mood Exposure now, and definitely Ethereal Glow!

Elegant - I haven't tried Mood Light. It's pretty, I just wasn't interested since I had so many of the others. Dim is my favorite, I use it all over as a setting or finishing powder and it is just enough color to warm me up a little and hide my skin imperfections.

@NYCBeautyjunkie, you got a perfect Mood Exposure! If mine is like that I would never buy any more make-up, lol. Beautiful!!!

I think they would scowl at you in store if you went opening the blushes before you purchase them >.< There was quite few incidents when people purchased new product in store, only to find out it was swatched D:
Sometimes sephora has really good VIB gifts online with 35$ purchase, which can be worth around 30$, I find those better than 10% or 15% off ;)
Well I wouldn't open them myself. I would ask someone who works there to open one for me so I could see it before purchasing it. I've done this in the past with the chubby lip pencils because I once got one that had clearly been opened, then had to drive the half hour back to the store to return it. (This is why I almost always buy makeup online when it's from someplace that has it out for people to take up to the register themselves.) But you make a good point about the online gifts with purchase. I do love those.

I wouldn't buy this one sight unseen. I'm about the same tone as you and Mood Light doesn't seem lavender on me at all. All the others have descriptions that are spot-on. And I'll just put in another plugged for Diffused, which is my very favourite.


Me too! I wore it today blended over my cheekbones for some added dimension over Nars Amour.

Ok I will get Diffused then. I wrote that one down to get after watching that video :) Thanks doll!

Lol@ Veronikawithak, I am safe as Kaori already gave feedback on ME so that saves me . With the luck I have my bet is that I am going to be buying. Its basically impossible to hold make up junkies who try to quit cold turkey to anything. All the Heroine Heaux can attest to that!
