That was how I felt as well. Gorgeous colour for the fall!

So I went to the MAC store to get a couple more Electroflash shadows, and the MA asked me if I wanted to see the mineralize blushes as well! I'm sure my voice got much lower when I explained that I had a 'few' of these already, lol!

We have 2 MAC counters at our Macy's. One in the cosmetics section and one down by the Junior's department. AND we have a freestanding store outside.

I LOVE IT!

I usually go to the freestanding one though.

You know what it is....okay I wanted pink but not a bright pink. This is like....aghh its so hard to explain. I made sure I didnt overapply and I liked it, but I cant seem to do the perfect application. Either its not enough or its too much. So at first it wasnt enough at all (I HATE when someone puts any type of makeup on, and its not enough to see) I like my blush to be noticeable. And this wasnt....its summertime, for Petes sake, my cheeks are already flushed! LoL so then I tried to mix it up and add a MSF overtop, and the whole thing was just like......too flushy. I can't describe it. of course blush is supposed to give you a "flush" but........I dont know!

I hope you guys understand me lol

That being said....I really wanted to put on my X Rocks after that (aghhh dont hit me) lol

I still want to love these. I duno guys. We'll see.

20€ in France, so I'm guessing it's the same throughout the mainland Europe (UK excluded, they seem to be 18€ in England). Does anybody have better info on European prices?

 

[GlossyAbby]

I have naturally flushed cheeks anyway especially in summer but I love gentle b/c you can add just a hint of color or more for something more dramatic...gentle is my favorite by far it may even beat out my nars org@sm as favorite blush....

 

[thelove4tequila]

I finally tired my last blush, Pleasentry. Short and simple, I love it!!!!

But I have to say these things create one of my worst makeup pet peeves.....huge amount of blush "dust" everywhere on the pot. Like makeup debris or whatever you want to call it, everywhere!! Argh. I HAVE to clean the edges/sides/top of the pot everytime I use it or it will drive me maaaad. LOL. One of the reasons I WONT have an palette.

/crazy lady.

Oh well, looks like we both got what we wanted out of it! Goes to show you that, ideally, you really need to see blushes on your own skin to decide.

 

[lipglass_junkie]

OMG, I have to share my love of Nuance. Such a pretty peach color on me. It's not as pigmented as Love Joy of Love Thing on my skin, but that's fine with me. That just means I can apply it in a hurry with a normal blush brush and not worry about looking like a clown

What colour is your skin?

So does Nuance turn out orange on light complexions? It doesn't look orange to me swatched in the store but I am just not sure.
