Thank you for your pictures and swatches stickles!
They help a lot because now I am 100% sure that I will skip the blushes because their finish looks more like the Grand Duos
than like the Sonic Chic/perm ones.
I find it kinda irritating that the blushes have more of a MSF finish and aren't more like the Sonic Chic ones. It makes the release of the blushes AND the MSFs in this collection kinda pointless because you probably won't need a MSF on top of the CC blushes because they are already shimmery enough.
I love how the raspberry strip from Smooth Merge looks but I don't like the finish of the other two stripes. I will stick to Love Thing MB or find a powder blush in the color of the middle strip later.
