Dainty was the last one I bought and I love it. If you want a real pinky peach blush try Pleasantry over Dainty!

This is the mineralized version of Springsheen

I'm still in love with Gleeful and Love Joy. And since my car is costing $1500 to fix they will be my last MAC purchases for quite a while.

To add a bit more gold shimmer, I layer Other Worldly Blush (from Moonbathe) over them. It looks gorgeous. I love shimmery cheeks.

I like the others MUCH more!

Which ones will be back in the fall?
Somehow I missed that.

Thank you!

I pretty much lucked out; of the ones not returning, the only one I think I might want is Pleasantry.
I'd better grab it!

I'm glad I saw this cuz I love Nuance and I want a backup of this. It's the perfect no-blush peachy blush for me and only 2nd to Dainty! I keep reading how it turns orange on some people and I have to disagree. In fact, gleeful turns orange on me (NC40-42 SFF)!

Anyway, I usually layer nuance on top of either warm soul or eversun bp. Or I have nuance then dainty on top for a flushed look.

I used a bit too much but its weird...like I had red cheeks lol, it was really pretty. I liked how it looked with my skintone, and with my dark hair. I reeeeeeally cant wait to wear this in fall and winter....its h-o-t

Hahaha, ridonkulous.

You crack me up so much!

But that said.. I don't own Hipness, so why not own Nuance? I love the color and I don't use a lot of it.. because I don't like the a lot of blush look?

 

[darkishstar]

Oh, I LOVE putting Drizzlegold Loose Beauty Powder over my blushes, shimmery cheeks!

I was at the mall yesterday and I saw warm soul. I was able to test it and found that warm soul is less dark than eversun bpb. I ended up caving and getting it as well.

Now i'm just waiting for Nuance and pleasantry to come in.

I know I raved about Love Thing non-stop before... but I've been using Dainty every day! It's such a perfectly natural flush on me

My only complaint is that it doesn't have half the pigmentation of Love Thing- I work this one with my 181(SE)... was too poor to get the 181 that came out again haha and it looks beautiful

It's great for when you're in a rush and dont have the time to be as careful as you'd need to be with Love Thing!!!

 

[thelove4tequila]

I think I may return Merrily. I'm not sure if I like having red Kool-Aid cheeks!

 

[geeko]

i think dainty is pretty pigmented on me (NC20 here) anything more than 3 swipes make me look sunburnt instead of glowy

 

[darkishstar]

Yeah, I find I can even overapply Dainty, that's how pigmented it is, and I'm NC30!

Really?! LoL I thought Dainty was like a real sheer blush...i'm NW35 though....I dont have to have dainty, and especially since its coming back, I can wait

 

[BaDKiTTy69]

Does anybody NC30 have Pleasantry? How do you like it? I am thinking on getting it since its LE and I dont really have any pink blushes.

 

[Susanne]

^^^ I am NC 30 and I LOVE Pleasantry!! It is the best mineralized blush for me! Gorgeous.

It's not sheer, it's just more wearable. That make sense?

That said though, it is REALLY pigmented.

I haven't given up on it quite yet. I'm going to try a apply a lighter hand with it next time I use it. I dunno. Its just okay I guess.

Hi yah, I'm between NC30 & NC40(summer) and I just bought Pleasantry. You'll definately like it. It's a nice pink and because you can build up how much you want it's great. You'll never go wrong with it. How bright it shows up in the pot alone is quite deceiving actually.

I really recommend you get it!!!!
