I got my package yesterday and the blushes are going back. I am really not happy about how hard they are to work with. Why didn't they make the blushes with the same formula as the shadows and the skin finishes? I had to practically dig in the blush and ruin the design to get anything on my brush. The eyeshadows were so pretty!! I got all of them except for the silver one.

How similar are Opalesse and Triple Impact? I'd rather only get one, but can't decide. I'm looking for more of a pink and not so much a white. Hard to tell from the swatches whether Opalesse on the eyes will appear mostly as white with a pink sheen or whether it is definitely more pink than white. I suspect Trple Impact might be better (it's okay if it has a more lilac tinge) but I do like an opalescent effect. Is TI as hard to blend as some of the bloggers say?

Opalesse is definitely a pink shade. It's the color of an opal, and it also looks like the inside of an iridescent seashell. Triple Impact is more of a light lavender or purple shade. I haven't used Triple Impact on my eyes yet, so I don't know if it's hard to blend. It's a really pretty color though. If you have Ready to Party already I wouldn't get it because it's really similar, just a little darker.

Thanks, that's really helpful! I think I will get Opalesse online then, and wait to see if I really want TI too at the counter.

Well gee,thought I could live without Firery Impact until I saw your photo. My hubby's going to kill me LOL
I totally thought i was going to be sending it back after i got it in the mail yesterday but then i wore it and nope... its staying with me. I also grabbed Flaming Chic and I'll probably try that tomorrow. Wooh! If the others are like this then I might get a few more. Usually by lunch time my blush is MIA but not this one. Still looking great. So I may pick up Bareness or At Dusk if they are still available when I get paid again next Friday.
