lol, I've been posting on this thread a lot lately...
Nuance didn't turn orange on me, I think that has more to do with the undertones of your skin than your actual skintone. I have a warmer skintone, so it stays peach on me, but it could turn a little orange on cooler skintones. But it seems like Nuance has more of a beigy base, so that may help.
Dainty does look pretty, but I heard that it looks similar to Peachykeen, and since that was the only blush I had before sonic chic, I decided I should at least show some restaint there.
I seriously still want 3 more of these, and I already own 3. Hopefully these stay on the website for a while so I can get the rest as I have more money

Thank you! IRL I do have the plum undertones as well. I think the flash made the bronzeyness more of a coppery color and washed out the plum. You can still somewhat see the plum, because it's really not a pink color.

oooh! i've always wanted to try peachykeen!!! it's one of these permanents items you always wanna buy but you never do
nuance looks pretty but some of people's favorites (goldmine, woodwinked, stereo rose) turn really ORANGE on me so i'm scared nuance will too...
thanks for your help!!!

LOLLL!! i know exactly what you mean. you really have to put these on with a light hand. With that said i LOVE gentle!! But i think that you just need to watch how much of it you get on the brush and how much you blend it out. I am darker skinned then you so that might have something to do with it...lol...but just try a dab on the brush and blend onto your cheeks and continue doing that till you get it to what you want. I found that when the MA did it is was entirely too much for me but when i got home i got to playing around and found that this was the best way to get a extremely light pinky gold flush. I think it depends on the brush you use too. lol.

I love all of these, but my stand out favorite is Merrily- it is very similar to Stereo Rose, but more like a cross between Serenely and Stereo Rose.
Each one has its own look to it- I know that I will get lots of use out of these!

ooooo pretttyyy!! i want more of these but i can't afford any more of them.
i would suggest just experimenting till you find the perfect brush. i dont even have a kabuki brush yet i just have a regular angled blush brush but it works just fine because i find that the application is pretty light with it rather than heavy. i may consider getting a kabuki later on...they blend out blushes and foundation sooooo well...

Gotta love the CVS Kabuki. It really buffs the color out, I used it to beat the hell out of Love Thing.

I totally agree with you Rbella!
For me my fav list:
1) Dainty
2) Gentle (though gentle is edging to the top!)
3) Love Thing--VERRRRY light hand. learned my lesson yesterday ><

Stillll, waiting for Merrily...rather impatiently I might add. At least I've got other things occupying my mind right now or I'd be really pissed.

I know right? I use the Adesign angled blush brush which works just fine...I really *need* the LE Kabuki....I need it. Someone needs to buy me one, and send it to my house. LoL
ASAP
Quote:
I did, at first. cuz its damn big....but ummmmm I dunno. i think Im doing something wrong. Like, my kabuki just hates me, No matter how hard I rub that thing on my face, it just spreads out the blush so it looks like, its covering my whole cheek. So some of you may say "duh thats what buffing it out does" But I think I'm just doing it wrong. Oh well! hahaahah
Quote:
Sigh, I'll give Gentle a shot again tomorrow, okay? Enough already! haha just kiddddding. Ummm you know what I think is part of the problem?? Is that my dumb face is kinda broken out....cuz then the foundation doesnt apply as well, and then the blush isnt gonna apply as well, and its this neverending cycle.
So theres 101 reasons CAM is still on the fence about these durned blushes. But I still want Merrily, Pleasantry and "Nunance"
