I dont know whats up with me

, but this is my favorite thread. I think I am getting hooked on the mineralize makeup.

 

[darkishstar]

Good thing, out of all things in Octorber.. I want one thing from Sheer Minerals.. and the holiday stuff. Not sure on Suite Array, but yeah.. won't be TOO bad for me.

That said.. Sonic Chic was a heavy blow to me this year.

Nuance kinda looks like Hipness on me too. And thats NOT cool. I'll try it again, and if it looks too much like hipness...well damn, its a shame I cant return hipness and keep nuance LOL.

Grrr...

I was going to pass on it since I already have Pink Swoon, Don't be Shy and Fashion Frenzy, but I picked it up and I am SO glad I did!

I am waiting for Love Thing to come in the mail and I can't wait to finally see what all of the hype is about!! I might need to check out merrily. I am not as sold on dainty as I am with plesantry and gentle but I am trying to make it work.

Woo-hoo! I am not suprised that those are so popular. They seem to be the most universally flattering on people.

October is totally going to break the bank for me. I need to be good about saving my birthday money from September for this month!!

I really want a pink blush, but I'm worried Pleasantry wont show up on my skin tone (NW35)? And is Pleasantry PINK. and not raspberry, like Gentle?

It is a blue toned pink and not at all raspberry in my opinion. It would look gorgeous on you and I think that it would really pop!

It can go on as sheer as you want or bold depending on what brush you use. I think that you would really like it.

 

[CantAffordMAC]

Daaaaaaaamn youuuuuuuuu!!!!

 

[blindpassion]

I want to take one more oppotunity to thank elegant-one and audrey for enabling me to buy Love Thing............ ladies, how freaking gorgeous is this blush for women of our skin tone! I MEAN REALLY!

Soo beautiful!
Thankyou again, it's my new favorite blush!!

 

[coachkitten]

Sorry but it is true!!

The good thing is that I am pretty sure that this blush has been one of the more popular ones and that should mean that it will come back in October. Maybe you should just hold out until then.

I can't wait to get mine! I hope that I love it as much as you girls do. It looks so dark for my barely NW15 skin but I trust all of your opinions so I am very excited. Blindpassion what brush do you use with it?

 

[purrtykitty]

I finally got Merrily today! It's so pretty and I think it will be a perfect blush for all the fall colors I got. I think I may also get Pleasantry and Dainty...maybe also Love Thing, but I dunno. I want to see how the job-thing works out first.

does anyone find warm soul not pigmented among the other blushes? i'm NC20 and i bought it but haven't try it yet, cos when i swatch the tester it appear very sheer.. was wondering if i should return it or not...

I love it & I am an NC20-25, it gives me the perfect glow. Sometime I use a touch of Nuance on top on my apples.

Same here. I went too crazy on Sonic Chic. I bought 5 of the blushes! O_O That's like.. $105 right there. I'm going to be good about setting aside half of my paychecks from now on and half of my monthly allowance. I've slowly been building up my savings account. And I need to, Christmas will be insane! Especially the holiday collection...

That said though.. I'm SO HAPPY that I got the blushes I did. There's still a twitch in the back of my mind that says I should try out Love Thing and Merrily even though the MA said they would be too dark for me, but enough is enough. I'm happy with Dainty, Nuance, Love Joy, Pleasantry, and Gleeful.

It is definately pink, not raspberry, and it's buildable so I definately think it will show up on you. I have tons of other bright pink blushes, but haven't touched any of them since I got Pleasantry

I am SO glad you love it. It is definately my favorite! I knew I had to have it from the first swatch. It had me at hello!

I think Warm Soul is next on my list. I am NW15 though. Will it look like bronzer on me, or is there some color to it other than brown? I am afraid it will look dirty on me, which other bronzer shades tend to do...

Well you might as well try it before you return it. At least see what it's like on your skin, because when you return it, they take it back even if it's used... and they destroy it either way.

So just give it a chance.

I like very pronounced blush,
I lightly tap the 109 into it and then tap the 109 on a towel, and then buff it on my face
thats how pigmented this stuff is
I can wipe it on a towel and it still leaves plenty on my face.

But for light applications I would use a 187 definitely!

or even a 188.

I think it has something more to it. It seems to have a touch of pink to it, because on me, it looks really different than if I were to just throw on some bronzer. It almost reminds me a little of Uncommon blushcreme, but softer. Then again, you and I are quite different in skintone. I have also tried it with Merrily and Pleasantry and find it worked really well with both. Give it a try at a counter if you can.
